Dancing with Fire

To dance - Movements conveying emotions and feelings in a place from a beginning to an end. Sometimes appearing chaotic and other times peaceful. Sounds alot like life.

On a journey to find the Fire that I had been longing to dance with I began to study the Bible.

There's a great story about a prophet of old ,named Elijah and the people of Israel under the rule of King Ahab. Elijah worshiped the one true living God ,the God of Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob.

Also known as the consuming fire.

King Ahab and his wife Jezebel worshiped the god, baal who was also known as a god of fire.

In this battle between these two, the God of Elijah proved that he is the one

true living God by sending fire from Heaven to consume the alter

that had been built and soaked with water.

Ahab's god on the other hand sent nothing proving to the people

of Israel that the god, baal was a counterfeit fire and that the

God of Elijah was the true Authentic fire.

As I have experienced this same consuming purifying fire that burns within me I have begun

to dance with passion and an understanding that I am not in control.

As I allow the Fire to lead, my movements change from chaos to peace.

The relationship I have with the "Fire" removes impurities within me and refines me

into an authentic image or reflection of the"Fire" with whom I dance.

My question to those around is do you dance with the true authentic Fire or the false

counterfeit fire, that makes us pretend we're something we're not?

If you dance, dance with "Fire"
