Luke 3:16- “John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:”
Can you sincerely declare that you are still on fire for God? Is doing the will of God in all situation still your priority? Do you still hold the men of God and the gathering of the saints in high regard as you used to when you newly gave your life to Christ?
If our response to any of the above questions is no, then you need to pray these 30 revival prayers for fresh fire.
The importance of believers staying on fire all of the time cannot be overstated, this is because the devil is always on the lookout for our weak spots. (Check 1 Peter 5:8)
As believers, it is very dangerous for us to allow our faith smolder in the areas of prayer, Bible study, and fellowship.
Recall the scripture that narrated how the enemy came in to sow tares into the wheat planted while men slept? (Matthew 13:25)
In same way, When a believer is spiritually cold, the devil sees it as an opportunity to infiltrate the believer’s life, in order to wreak horrible harm.
The devil is well informed that it is by our connection to Christ through prayers, Bible study, fellowship, obedience to the Holy Spirit etc, that makes us untouchable to him and his evil weapons.
Because the bible clearly declares that we live, move, and have our being in Christ, So when a believer’s spiritual fire is low due to disconnection from Christ, the believer is in a vulnerable state.
In order for us to understand how important it is for us to abide in Him, Jesus instructed His disciples, “Abide in Him, and I in you; no more can ye, unless you abide in me (John 15:4-6).”
So, as believers, our lives are meant to be lived daily with the goal of fostering a healthy relationship with God, and how can we achieve this? It’s by prayer, fasting, attending fellowships, and consciously studying God’s Word
If you’ve been depressed over the years due to the loss of a loved one or you have recently been sacked or experienced any mishap, and this has affected your spiritual life badly to the extent where praying has now become a difficult task to achieve, it is time to awake from the dust, sincerely ask God for grace and strength to get back to the place of been on fire for God.
Our God is a caring Father and He sure knows how to satisfy all your needs and comfort you in trouble.
You really need this fresh fire so you can preach the gospel of Christ without fear, put the devil in his place, fight your spiritual battles and win, overcome temptation, be free from demonic oppression, be free from ancestral curses and covenant and so you can be all that Christ has designed you to be (Ephesians 1:5, Jeremiah 1:5)
Below are some indicators of been cold spiritually, in case you are still in doubt as to whether you are still on fire for God or not:
