After being filled with the Fire of God, it’s also important to flow with the Living Water in the River of God.
Water brings balance to the fire.
As powerful as the fire can be, it actually may become a detriment if I allow it to burn uncontrollably.
It’s not so much about feeling “burned out” or overworked from too much ministry, but rather, the issue here is when a person becomes so in-tune with God that they actually start to lose touch with practical reality.
Being filled with divine joy and supernatural gifts is meant to work in your favor. If I’m in the middle of an important meeting, and I reach a point where I’m laughing so uncontrollably that I lose the ability to speak coherently, that’s definitely crossing a line where I’ve gone too far.
You can share the gift of supernatural joy, without freaking people out by laughing too much.
The fire of God may cause you to laugh uncontrollably, but it’s the water that enables you to use it with discernment, so the gifts are now used to bless you, instead of creating more problems.
Imagine it like a volcano, surrounded by a lake of water.
The fire from the volcano is powerful, but it’s also contained, so it’s able to do its thing without burning everything in sight.
Pray that God would create a safe container within you that allows Him to work powerfully in your life, while also being delicate in the areas that are not meant to be burned completely to ash.
Use discernment to embody the fire and water of God.
