FRESH FIRE !!- back to the Cross

Praise the Lord for the Fresh Fire Conference whereby Ps Susan Tang has given us some very powerful back to the basic truth in her teachings and to coin her ," if you can't be faithful at this point of time in your life, what makes you think you could be faithful till the end....????" . I am truly reminded that it is not about how we have started off in the race but rather how we finish the Race...

Rev 2:5- to the church of Ephesus, Jesus warns, "you have fallen, you have left your first love and unless you return to the first works , I will remove the lamp stand (signifies the removal of the Light from us). We are all to HEAR , to SEE and then to SPEAK !
> If your step outside of the will of God, He has no obligation to protect you...
> It is about the working of the Lord INTO you, not the working out from you- BURN FOR JESUS! DON'T BURN FOR MINISTRIES!... it is not about the works of your hand but rather the works of the Holy Spirit in and subsequently through you... the workings into you..
> Let the Holy Spirit work into you. Come out of your hurt - cut off all soul-ties to unforgiveness , bitterness, griefs etc- ask God to put iron into our soul so that we may be like Joseph- come out victorious in every trial and STAND till the very end. There are many experiences that we cannot PRAY AWAY. They are there to serve as tests to the very core of the foundation in which we build our house on... all it takes is a 'tsunami' to sweep away everything- so on what is your foundation laid upon- sinking sand or solid Rock!! Be forewarned-The storm will surely come !!
> We are to speak and to preach the WORD that performs the WORK- not just biblically orientated messages
> Hand your life over to Him and He will work the CROSS in you- do not embrace the "cross-less Jesus" theory- saying give me give me but rather ask Him to make me,, work me, build me!!- The Cross represented Death- sacrifice! - If Jesus did not die but saves Himself, then how can He save you? and If you do not die, then how can you save others??....There is no 'resurrection' if there's no death....
> On the Altar, what is your sacrifice to Your Master? There is a cost to pay for each sacrifice you make...King David offered a sacrifice unto the Lord in every 6 steps taken when the Ark of the Covenant was returned....so what is our sacrifice unto God today....??
>Look at the Apostle Paul- from Saul to Paul- from a murderer to a minister- The Holy Spirit worked into him to turn him into a minister of God. Paul is Satan's greatest nightmare - why?? because he embraced the Cross- the Cross that represented death to self. Self abandonment and sufferings- Paul is not afraid of either. Satan has no strategy left against him...'Self' can only be renounced and crucified because it cannot be cast out...
> Will you be the contender and the defender of the faith ?? Come to God only through prayers. Spend TIME in His Presence for Him to deposit into you - if not you may be drawing on an empty and blank account when the time comes.... can anyone afford that risk?

Personal conclusion-
God wants to pour forth and manifest His power through His Holy Spirit and He is looking for ready vessels to carry this great Anointing. The Lord is a consuming Fire- would you allow Him to come and consume and burn away all the chaffs - as gold is purified through intense fire to bring forth the glow and as the burning bush is not consumed or charred, let the Consuming fire come upon us....
My sheep hears My voice!
Obedience is better than sacrifice!!
Render your heart not your garment!!
