HAS YOUR PILOT LIGHT GONE OUT?

One source of research says that a pilot light is a small gas flame usually natural gas which serves as an ignition source for a more powerful gas burner. Common applications include household water heaters, stoves, central heating systems, and fireplaces.

From a spiritual vantage point, our pilot light serves as an ignition for a more powerful source in the person of Holy Spirit. So, the question arises: Are you spiritually charged to ignite the heart of Jesus at anytime and anywhere?

Can we take this analogy somewhat further? Should we have to wait to get to church to get pumped up or to be charged? Hopefully, not– for our spiritual ignition (pilot light) should be so charged that when we walk through the door of the church, our jobs, or to the grocery store, people should see something different about us and to feel something different in us…we should “stand out” as born again believers. What people may or not sense is God’s anointing on our lives because of our powerful pilot lights! (Matthew 5:16)

I venture to say that the powerful anointing on our lives that people may sense or discern is due to constant praise on our lips and thanksgiving in our hearts to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

However, if our pilot light has gone out or is just above a flicker…there are a few things that we should consider.

• Have the cares of this life, choked or dimmed our flame? (Mark 4:18-19)
• Are our hearts and minds open to Yahweh God through prayer? (Matthew 6:9)
• Are we reading the Word of God on a daily basis? Are we applying that Word for our lives?
• Are we ensuring that we keep our hands clean and our hearts pure? (Psalm 24:3-4)
• Are we ensuring that we abstain from all ungodliness and unholiness? (Psalm 1)
• Are we repenting to God on a daily basis? (Romans 3:23)
• Are we engaging in praise, worship and adoration to our Triune Father (Eph 5:19-20)
• Are we obedient to Yahweh God and His commands? (James 1:22-25)

If we are not applying any of the last seven bulleted points, it may be time for us to visit or to revisit doing the first works over. —(Revelation 2:5)

If we are, however, applying the last seven bulleted questions, then we can ensure that the (pilot light) anointing on our lives will be powerful enough to ignite the powers of Heaven here on Earth to do God’s bidding and to advance the Kingdom of God.

As children of the Most High King, we have work to do while it is yet day. There are many lost souls at stake–yes, even in the church house, in our own families, on our jobs, and in our neighborhoods.

Question–If not you—then who?

Prayer: Papa God, we worship You, We Praise You, and We love You for all that You have done, are doing, and will yet, do in our lives. We thank You for sacrificing Your Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth on the Cross, so that we can receive cleansing from our sins and so that we might be pleasing to You and as vessels fit for the Masters use. Fill our cups, Lord, Fill us afresh, Lord.  We are thirsty for You! Ignite our pilot lights in Jesus name, we pray, Amen!

Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful (Psalm 1)

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23)

18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word,   19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful Mark 4:18-19)

3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?   4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.   (Psalm 24:3-4)

9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.   10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.   11 Give us this day our daily bread.   12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.   13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)

19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,   20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesian 5:19-20)

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.   23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;   24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.   25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does (James 1:22-25)

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place–unless you repent. (Rev. 2:5)
