God is desirous of His people going deeper into His heart and being completely consumed with His pure fire. To be an individual after His heart speaks of being passionate about His desires and intents. I can tell you from the spiritual experiences and encounters God has so graciously allowed me to participate with Him in that there is no competition or human jealousy element to anything that transpires at the Throne of God in heaven. All of heaven has a laser-like focus and passionately desires for mankind to know and function in the eternal plan of God. It is a privilege to know God's plan and live in His heart. May we all be consumed by His fire and jealousy to see individuals all over the world come to know His plan and purpose for their lives.

The fall of the Confederacy proved traumatic for a people who fought with the belief that God was on their side. Yet, as Eugene D. Genovese writes in A Consuming Fire, Southern Christians continued to trust in the Lord's will. The churches had long defended "southern rights" and insisted upon the divine sanction for slavery, but they also warned that God was testing His people, who must bring slavery up to biblical standards or face the wrath of an angry God. In the eyes of proslavery theorists, clerical and lay, social relations and material conditions affected the extent and pace of the spread of the Gospel and men's preparation to receive it. For proslavery spokesmen, "Christian slavery" offered the South, indeed the world, the best hope for the vital work of preparation for the Kingdom, but they acknowledged that, from a Christian point of view, the slavery practiced in the South left much to be desired. For them, the struggle to reform, or rather transform, social relations was nothing less than a struggle to justify the trust God placed in them when He sanctioned slavery. The reform campaign of prominent ministers and church laymen featured demands to secure slave marriages and family life, repeal the laws against slave literacy, and punish cruel masters. A Consuming Fire analyzes the strength, weakness, and failure of the struggle for reform and the nature and significance of southern Christian orthodoxy and its vision of a proper social order, class structure, and race relations.

Born to be a sacrificial Weatherell girl like her mother, Anya Astraea instead sets out in search of vengeance against the mountain deity who claimed the life of her twin sister.

According to the Scriptures, ELOHIM's nature is that of a consuming fire. Right from the start, the reader will visit the scriptures as the true nature of YAHUAH is shown; for example, Exodus 13:21 says, "21 And YAHUAH went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night." Fire is very intense, freighting on the one hand and very attractive on the other. People are drawn to fire. But why is ELOHIM compared to fire in the scriptures? In Genesis 15, He appears as a blazing lamp, and in Exodus 13, He appears as a burning bush. When we read Exodus 19:24, we see YAHUAH on Mount Sinai appearing as a consuming fire, devouring fire. Also, in Exodus 40, by day, a pillar of a cloud of smoke, and by night, a pillar of fire over the Tabernacle. Why fire? Leviticus 9 and 10 tell us how YAHUAH consumes the sacrifices with fire and Arron's disobedient sons with fire.Read Jeremiah 20:9, which says, "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." We encourage you to know YAHUAH as a consuming fire, a refiner's fire. It is terrible on the flesh; it is wonderful for the Spirit, and we are a nation of that Spirit.To hear more about YAHUAH's consuming fire, consider scrolling up and clicking the buy now button.

Consuming Fire A Shape Shifters Journey The art of shape shifting happens with each breath we take. Throughout our lives each time we move our intent and make a choice, we are plucking the threads of change. The deeper we go within ourselves, the more profound these changes and places of transformation become. In Consuming Fire A Shape Shifters Journey, I offer you a glimpse of possibilities and how the moments we are in reflects off the greater tapestry called our lives. We shape shift from infant to child, to teenager to adult, and then into old age; so it is with different forms we take. The purity of our heart and intent define what forms and elements we are drawn to. Our animal connections have much to teach us about their ways, as well as who we are. When we reach into the depths of the balances within us knowing what we are capable of, so might we open to the profound place of our energy being with respect, humbleness, and sacredness. Grandfather, Ya Tae, Grandmother, Cooper, Jed, Ray, and many others show us that sometimes our hearts must break, our worlds must turn upside down, and our beliefs must shatter before we can emerge from our cocoons. As we learn how to fly we also learn how to heal ourselves and embrace the reasons we are here in both individual and collective realities. Life is not what is done to us, but what we choose to become in the forms we take.

Ben Gerard is a man of faith. Can faith carry him when he gets an answer to prayer he wasn’t expecting? Worlds collide in Consuming Fire, a story about the lives of two kids who believe they’re alone, and a God who never left them.

What is the eternal punishment of the lost? What is the eternal life that God promises his people? What is this "hell" which is claimed as part of Christian belief but goes against our sense of justice and rightness? Why were Adam and Eve thrown out of Eden? Can a God of love send most of those he has made in his own image to a place of nonstop torment? What is the connection between the current heaven and earth and the new heaven and earth that God promises? Beginning with the tree of life, and taking Hebrews 12.29, "Our God is a consuming fire," as his pivotal text, Michael Greed addresses these and similar questions. His central argument is that there is only one fire in the Bible--our God, who is a consuming, purifying fire.
