DID NOT OUR HEARTS BURN WITHIN US  -  PART 1

Scripture:   Luke 24:32 “And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?”

       We, as believers today, need our hearts to be on fire for God.  If we are on fire, then others will want what we have. Is your heart burning for God today? I want to mention several things that will put the fire out in our lives.
    First of all, filling your life with the things of this old world, will put the fire out.  If we’re not careful, we will allow these things to keep us from the Lord.  So much amusement and entertainment in this day. We must guard ourselves from allowing these worldly things to control our life.  Stick with the old paths. Don’t allow these worldly things to keep us from the Word of God. Don’t allow these worldly things to keep you from the House of God.  Don’t allow these worldly thing to keep you from praying.  Don’t allow the things of the world to fill your life!
    Then, following the lust of your flesh, will put the fire out in your life. The songwriter said, “And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.” But may I say that if you yield yourself to the flesh, you will find the light of His glory and grace will grow strangely dim.  Don’t let your flesh dictate what you desire to do. Pray and seek God’s face and turn from your wicked ways.  Don’t let the flesh put out the fire of God in your life!
    Then also, focusing on the pride of life, will cause the fire to go out in our lives.  “Pride goeth before destruction…”  Don’t allow the devil to fill you with pride.  When we find ourselves lifting ourselves up and failing to realize, that we are wretched and vile and without
the grace of God in our lives we are nothing, we are in danger of the fires going out. Friend, don’t let the fire die down or go out in your life today!
