Spread the Fire - Light up the World!

"Spread the Fire" is my own personal motto. I'm a Christian on fire for God with a burning desire to spread this fire that burns within me. One way I see this is I am a lone candle burning in the darkness - but even one candle can light up a room - even in the darkest of the shadows it can shine its light. Now, one candle can burn brightly, but when that flame spreads to another candle there is more light, and when that burns on and spreads to another candle and so on, the more candles burning, the brighter the room. Thus I arrive at, "Spread the Fire - Light up the World!"

Like that candle in the darkness burning bright for all its got - passing the flame on to other candles and lighting up the room, I want to spread this fire I have throughout the world.

How am I going to spread this fire?

I'm going to stand up. I am going to speak out. I'm going to fight the good fight of faith! I am going to SPREAD THE FIRE!

It takes one to stand up - but more will follow. I want to be the first to stand.

It takes one voice to speak out, and to shout out to the nations. To speak of God's saving grace, and his everlasting love. The Bible says that "Faith comes by hearing..." well how will the nations here if no one speaks up. It takes one voice to shout out - that one voice can be heard, imagine one million backing up that voice - everyone will hear.

I want to be the one who stands when no one else stands with me - the one who speaks out, when no one else will. I want to be the one who fights even when it seems no one else is prepared for battle. This is a spiritual battle - a war that goes on even in the heavens. ("For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6: ) I want to be a light in this dark world. I want to spread the fire.

I'm standing now - will you join me?
I'm speaking out - is your voice heard as well?
I'm going into battle - are you prepared to fight? The battle is the Lord's!

Will you let your light shine? Will you spread the fire that burns inside you? Will you stand, and speak, and fight?

Spread it to the nations. Light a fire in every heart. Spread the Spirit's fire - be a light in the darkness.

Spread the fire - light up the world!
