Ernest Holmes wrote: “True imagination is not fanciful daydreaming, it is fire from heaven.” Fire from heaven. In the Old Testament, Elijah the prophet was dealing with “issues” with the people on lack of crops and drought. In fact, it had not rained in 3 years. The fire from heaven that was imagined or dreamed or asked for was the lightning that comes with a rain storm. And – in metaphysical terms fire is a purifying agent or the presence of the Christ coming into our physical being. In fact in scriptures there is a reference to the “refiner’s fire.” Charles Fillmore states that the fire “Burns out all negative consciousness and reveals the presence of God.” WOW!

Elijah, being a prophet of God knew that the whole universe was alive with a fire that could never go out – And – all that needed to happen was to call on that fire – to bring it down from heaven as a precursor of manifestation that would happen. So Elijah asked for the fire – and guess what? – it came! And the rains came and the crops grew and the people became prosperous again! Yeah – you say. What a great ending to a story. And now I ask – what about your story? My Story? Our Spiritual Community’s story?

Your story may not be about not having food – your story may be about not having good health, or a great job, or awesome relationships. Whatever your story – have you called down the fire? Have you allowed yourself to dream your dream and have you asked Holy Spirit to “Rain Down on You?” Bring the fire; bring the passion – so that I can live my purpose here on this earth! When are we going to ask for the fire? Or greater yet – when are we going to believe in the fire that never goes out?

The fire is that passion and desire for the continuing expansion of consciousness, and “An Experience of Authentic Transformation.” This true fire from God is the word – and the word is made flesh and dwells among us as the Spirit of the Christ nature. Every Sunday morning towards the end of our service we sing, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.” That song is about the fire of the Christ within each of us. When are we going to burn so bright that others can see our good works and glory in the presence of God which they see through our bright and beaming expression in this world?

Sunday’s lesson topic is, “Growing a Dream Into A Purpose”. What is your individual dream – and what is our collective dream as a Spiritual Community? Have a great rest of the week – dreaming your dreams.
