The LORD said, “Internal Combustion!”

So I looked that up….

“Internal-combustion engine : One in which combustion of the fuel takes place in a confined space, producing expanding gases that are used directly to provide mechanical power.
Such engines are classified as reciprocating or rotary, spark ignition or compression ignition, and two-stroke or four-stroke; the most familiar combination, used from automobiles to lawn mowers, is the reciprocating, spark-ignited, four-stroke gasoline engine.
Other types of internal-combustion engines include the reaction engine (see jet propulsion, rocket), and the gas turbine. Engines are rated by their maximum horsepower, which is usually reached a little below the speed at which undue mechanical stresses are developed.
In a gasoline engine, a mixture of gasoline and air is sprayed into a cylinder. This is compressed by a piston and at optimal point in the compression stroke, a spark plug creates an electrical spark that ignites the fuel.
The combustion of the fuel results in the generation of heat, and the hot gases that are in the cylinder are then at a higher pressure than the fuel-air mixture and so drive the piston back down. These combustion gases are vented and the fuel-air mixture reintroduced to run a second stroke.
The outward linear motion of the piston is ordinarily harnessed by a crankshaft to produce circular motion. Valves control the intake of air-fuel mixture and allow exhaust gases to exit at the appropriate times.
A critically important portion of any internal-combustion engine is its ignition system, which controls the timing of the burning of the fuel mixture. If this burn begins either too early or too late the engine performance will be reduced, sometimes seriously, and in extreme cases can even damage the engine.” (Multiple sources)

Then The LORD spoke, “Every engine needs a catalyst. My Spirit is supposed to be the catalyst for any and every movement in the ministry of My Church.

My Spirit is the One Who ignites The Fire of Revival. So He motivates men to pray. He motivates men to worship and to repent. He motivates men to reach out beyond their circumstances to reach others for the Kingdom.

Apart from Me, you can do no thing. You may think you pray or worship on your own.

But it is My Spirit working in you to do His bidding. I AM the Author, and the Finisher of your Faith. It is I Who AM leading you into paths of righteousness for My Name’s sake!

It is I Who gives you health, and wealth, life and breath.

It is I Who enables you to work or to rest, to have fun and enjoy life as well.

Life is a celebration. It is a celebration of your life in Me.

You celebrate baby’s arrivals, and weddings, birthdays and holidays. Why do you do this?

Because Life is valuable to you. Relationships are valuable to you as I created human beings to be relational.

In order for a car to work, it must have fuel. You need that fuel everyday. Without it, your car won’t work. It is the same for a life or a ministry.

You must have the fuel which is The Power of My Spirit working in you, My Love, My Grace and ability in order for you to be sustained.

Many ministers run out of fuel because like someone who forgets on a long trip to stop to get gas, gets stuck, so have many of My Own forgotten to fuel up with Me!

So you run out of gas. No power with no gas!

In order to move and have your being in Me, you must spend time with Me!

In My Presence you receive what you need.

When you run out of gas in the natural, what must you do?

Walk on your own to get the gas — yes? Or call for help.

So it’s not wise, to not pay attention to how much gas is in your car.

If you run out, you cannot move it anywhere. The car’s ignition is also important. No ignition — no movement — no spark!

I want to spark many Fires.

I want to make you My living Flames of Fire.

So you can do all that is ahead to do. With the proper vision and direction from Me, then you are able to move ahead in your day with what is on My agenda.

Of course there are always the normal activities of daily living to be concerned with.

But I told you that if you would seek first the Kingdom of God and My righteousness, then all these things you need will be provided for you. (Matthew 6:33)

I would give you the means, the direction, the wisdom and knowledge, and understanding you need. Remain in Me — and I will remain in you!

I AM about to light some Fires that will burn for eternity in Me.

The Fire of My Presence will burn away all that has opposed you and in order for you to be consistent in running, you will need to be empty of anything that would clog up the constant flow of My Fire.

There will be times of busyness in Me, but also times to refuel and receive — so that you can again be poured out.

Just as Paul had times of rest, and reflection between missionary journeys, I will give you all times of rest in Me to refresh yourselves. For this Harvest is not going to be like any other!

There will be a powerful demand on your time — and you must be wise enough to know when to get refueled, so that you can keep going to the next assignment.

Times of rest and reflection always bring new perspective; time to think about what has been and what is to be.

Learn to take the time now, so that it becomes a habit, and that you never go forth without being filled up with Me.

I want you to be a living conduit of My Grace and Mercy.

I love you My beloveds and you will soon know the extent of that Love more than you’ve ever known!”
