40 Days of Prayer-Day 21

 

Something that should be served hot is barely palateable when it is warm i.e. tea. Food that should be served cold is thrown away if it is warm, i.e. icecream.  God feels the same way about His professed followers. God would rather we be hot or cold and not luke warm Christians. He

has no taste for such Christians and will spue them out of His mouth. Rev. 3:14-21.  Like the icecream and the tea above, luke warm Christians  are unaware of their condition. They believe they are still fulfilling the purpose for which they were made.  But it is the Holy Spirit that quickeneth and makes us aware of our true condition.  John 6:63. God desires that those who represent Him in these last days be hot. But at least if we are cold, no one will mistakenly believe that we reresent Him. It is those who merely profess Him but do not obey Him that are not only a danger to themselves but a danger to the salvation of others. James 4:17, 1 John 2:10. Jesus revealed how life would flow from His church from true "hot" believers . John 7:38-39. PRAYER: Father baptize us with your Holy Spirit and bring us out of our lukewarm Laodicean condition. Have mercy on our spirtual numbness and affilictions and forgive all of our sins.
