Fire Works.
They say the lake of fire is coming.
But what if mercy burns first?

What if baptism is not a bath
but a blaze?
What if the old man’s not dead, just wounded
but waiting to rise again?
You can let him burn now.
Or wait for the final flame.

God wants ashes.
Not excuses.
Wants silence.
Not self-defense.
Wants temples cleansed,
not doctrines memorized.
You quote the state of the dead,
but does your envy still breathe?
You preach the sanctuary
but is your heart still defiled?

You know how they knew Jesus was dead?
He didn’t respond.

So how will they know you are crucified with Christ?

*When you stop clapping back.
Stop resurrecting rage.
Stop letting the devil get a rise out of you.

Truth isn’t just something you know.
It’s something that sets you free.
And if you’re not free
you’re not living it.

So let the fire do its work.
Let the law be written in your temple (heart).
Let the second coming happen in you
before it happens around you.

Because if you’re still in Egypt,
Sabbath is just a shadow.

And your name on the church books
means nothing
if it’s not written in Heaven.

So here’s the appeal:
Lord, help me.
Burn the old man.
Cleanse this sanctuary.
Let the fire do its work.
