Fire and Truth

The Spirit and The Word

Elizabeth, you are at peace even as I give you ideas today – and this is my desire for you always.

You see, Fire is a purifier.

To remember, read my statement like this:

Fire is a Pure-i-FIRE.

And when purified, you become free of that which takes your peace – Sin – and even more so, Iniquity. Sin cannot stay where truth remains. So, to be “on fire” means to be full of truth.

I don’t think my people have realized the value of truth. My Word is truth. I tell you in the Love Chapter that “Love rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.” (I Cor 13:6)

My people tend to “not see” this verse amidst the others they are familiar with, like love is patient and kind, etc. But to me, it is VERY important.

God, I hear you saying then, that to walk in truth is to have a fire within ourselves, that purifies us as we go through our lives. Am I understanding? Can you elaborate a little more even? So, we can get clarity?

Yes, daughter, you are on the right track. I AM Love, am I not?

Yes, Lord.

So, I’m saying, “I” rejoice not in iniquity, but rejoice in the truth.

I understand this…yes, Lord.

I know, Lord, that iniquity and sin go hand in hand, one being wrongdoing and one is wrong thinking. I recently reviewed my Bruised for our Iniquities article, wherein you gave clarity as to the difference: Iniquity is what we exhibit when we come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit that something is sin, but we justify our behavior or actions and refuse to turn. This then adds iniquity to our transgression and sin. Sin is committing the action, whereas iniquity is the attitude of resistance to you Lord.

Iniquity is willful continuance in our known sin.

And now, Elizabeth, as we continue, this is simple but good. Write this down:

Fire = purifier ——— remember this.

Truth = clarifier ———- remember this.

Yes, Lord… I hear the word FIRE at the end of those words, as you give this instruction too!

Without MY truth from the Spirit and the Word – one cannot have clarity in their Christian walk.

Your heart must be purified, and your mind must be clarified to receive properly from me.

If your mind isn’t clarified by truth, you can be deceived even reading my word.

People misquote me all the time!! Why? Because they don’t have the fire-purifier or the truth-clarifier in operation in their lives. They then see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear…but it’s not me.

Can you give me an example, God, of what you’re telling us? I really think that will help.

Ok Elizabeth, you know Romans 12:1-2 by heart. What does verse 2 say?

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind”, right?

So, what is it that renews your mind?

Well, Lord, it is the Spirit and the Word of truth.

Exactly!!

The Spirit IS my fire, and the Word IS my truth.

One purifies and one clarifies.

This is the simplicity of this message of today.
