I have been sharing the “Baptism of Love” revelation for years now knowing that it exists but not yet having a full understanding of how it is experienced. Just as Charles Parham and his bible college students in Topeka, Kansas, were seeking the baptism of the Spirit in 1900. They knew this baptism existed but had not experienced it nor had anyone they were aware of. They kept their focus on the revelation for further understanding and were rewarded with its arrival on New Year’s eve night. In the subsequent years, this revelation was carried to Azusa Street where it became a worldwide revelation.
Leviticus chapter 9 provides the pattern for bringing the Glory of the LORD down from Heaven. We are to draw near unto Our Heavenly Father and offer a burnt sacrifice… ourselves. In a recent blog, Stephen Jones wrote:
“The Kingdom of God, on the other hand, is ruled by "a consuming fire" who devours only that part of us that keeps us in bondage to the flesh. It is a fire of Love, which is totally unselfish and seeks the good of others. When the glory of God covers the whole earth, the baptism of fire will consume all flesh and assimilate all men into the Kingdom of God. But it will be done through Love, not through carnal, self-seeking motives.”
My prayer before the Throne of Grace:
Today, the 31st of March, 2011, I offer up myself up as an acceptable sacrifice, a voluntary offering, to My Heavenly Father for HIM to consume with the fire of Love. May this fire consume all my flesh and be a sweet aroma to My Heavenly Father. Upon the completion of my offering, may I be a blessing to all mankind and may the Glory of THE LORD come down from Heaven and be seen by all of mankind and may this Glory consume the entire earth. Amen!
Our Heavenly Father is immovable in HIS nature of unconditional Love. HIS Love is not determined by performance but awaits our revelation to embrace it. It exists whether we realize it or not just as the laws of the universe prevail without our knowledge. As we turn away from the ways of the world and draw near unto Our Heavenly Father, we open ourselves up to the revelation of Love and its fruit. We begin to have an attitude of gratitude rather than an air of entitlement. We look to unlock the potential in people we meet. Rather than scheming to figure out what we can extract from the other person, we look to be a blessing. May we be immersed in Our Heavenly Father’s Fire!
