“Conflagration” (The extreme form of fire)
I can see a great huge fire burning everything completely and utterly. We as Christians are both part of and ignitors of this fire. The fire is around us and more importantly within us. We are burning with and for God. As we burn sparks are being released from us much like the sparks that come out of a natural wood fire. These sparks rise up from us and are moved away from us by God’s breath. A gentle breeze for some, or maybe a roaring wind for others.
These sparks are sent out and allowed to settle wherever they will. Some will settle where there is nothing, nothing combustible, nothing to burn. But some of these sparks will come down into a place that is ready. A person or perhaps a group of people ready to burn, ready to catch fire for God and with God, and if the spark is strong enough the new fire will spread, turning into a new fire, burning with the power of the Lord. Spreading and becoming a new conflagration. Sending new sparks up and out to new places and new people. Repeating this cycle over and over until everything that is able to burn will be burning until the whole earth is alive in the fire of the Lord. And nothing else can survive but the fire and that which burns in it.
