The Candles in Our Hearts

The Candles in Our Hearts
Imagine your heart is filled with candles.
Each candle represents your passion and love.
Some candles are lit and burn brightly,
while others have been blown out and have grown cold.
There was a time when all of the candles in our hearts burned brightly.
There is always a force that wants to come in and blow out your candles.
The enemy doesn’t want to see light and fire in your heart
because he hates light.
It is very important to go to the Lord every day
and ask Him to light your passion and love again and again and again.
If you have an offense against someone and you haven’t forgiven them,
a candle in your heart has been blown out.
Your offense gives the enemy the right to come in
and blow out your candle of passion and love toward that person.
Praying for the person will open the door
for the Lord to come in and light that candle again.
The Lord will light every candle that has been blown out,
but first you have to look at each candle
and do your part through prayer and forgiveness.
“I have come to cast fire upon the earth;
and how I wish it were already kindled!”
(Luke 12:49)
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those
Ask the Lord to search your heart
and show you the candles that have been blown out.
One by one, start to bless the people represented
by each candle and pray for them.
Through your prayers you will open the door
for the Lord to come in and relight those candles.
In my personal experience, it’s almost impossible to forgive someone
if I don’t pray for them and bless them.
Our prayers and blessings toward people who have hurt us
will help us to easily forgive them and will fill our hearts
with fire and light again.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
