Friday night update

Well tonight me & Beena took the reigns for The Fuse Bible Study. I was a little nervous about it only cause this week was pretty booked & we couldn't get together and I barely even had time to study. But at the same time, I wasn't that nervous cause I know God is on the move lately & the night would go however He wanted it to.
To open up, we did sort of a Reality in a Box, but just switched up a bit. Erik & Anthony helped us out - we all gave a really condensed version of our testimony; the areas where we struggled to attain purity. Whether it was mental, sexual or spiritual purity or purity of the heart, we all shared with passion. I went on to explain the reason for sharing the impurities in our lives. Anything we think or do that is contrary to the Word of God creates impurity in our lives.
For altar call, we did a song called Start A Fire. It was cool that we did that song; I hadn't heard it in a long time, but I've always loved that song. I was singing by myself, just me & piano. Part of me wanted to be nervous cause I don't like to sing alone, but God is helping me learn to rely on Him in worship times just as much as I would in any other situation. So I decided to relax & enjoy the song I love so much. As I did, God reminded me of one of the lines in the song - it says, "Burn away the dross, holy fire of God." I remember the 1st time I heard that song, I didn't really know what that meant, so I decided to look it up. I'm glad I did cause it came in handy tonight. When transforming gold from earthen mineral to precious metal they place the mineral form over a flame & just keep turning up the heat. When they do this, all the impurities come out. They have to come out, they have no choice. Dross is all the impurities that are burned out, so that the gold becomes more precious, more perfected. I shared this with everyone, and after that, I guess I felt more... prophetic? I don't know, something kind of changed.
Anyway, it was just a great night. Thank You, Lord!
