When there is smoke, there is fire. After several weeks of a heat wave, the air near my home, smells like a campfire and smoke hovers. Although a forest fire burns about 20 miles away, the hills are misty with smoke. The smoke penetrates one’s clothes and changes your aroma
Holy Spirit, “How does this apply to my life?” I inquire. He replied, “When you spend time in the presence of God, his fire burns the works of the flesh. The fleshly things burn and you begin to smell different. It is a refining fire that will transform you into pure gold. Submit to the process and you will smell more like Jesus, with your actions birthed in pure love.”
Job 23:10 (NLT)
“But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.”

Set us afire, Lord,
Stir us, we pray!
While the world perishes
We go our way,
Purposeless, passionless,
Day after day.
Set us afire, Lord,
Stir us, we pray!

A small spark can turn an area into an inferno. Many fires burn in my area because of heat and no rain. His fire sets you ablaze!
