His Word, Our Wildfire

Based on Jeremiah 20-21, 2 Timothy 4

"Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay."

Jeremiah 20:9

Jeremiah's need to preach The Word of God was uncontrollable! He couldn't stop, even if he wanted to! It was a wildfire that needed to keep on spreading, because there was a world so close to being quenched by the fires of hell. We can relate so much to Jeremiah's time! We need to get The Word out there quick!

"O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings."

Jeremiah 21:12

The fury of God can spread like a fire as well, and while we don't like to think about it, it's a true reality...but that's because, more than anything, we serve a God with a fiery passion to love us & to save us! He feels such heartbrokenness when we turn toward the world, and so must become those who live His Word & spread it like a good wildfire, with an unquenchable Spirit & fire stirring within us!

"preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."

2 Timothy 4:2

We need to keep on spreading The Word like wildfire! We need to teach the 3 keys which keep us from experiencing the fires of hell, or any other fires of fury:

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38
