WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
Scripture: Genesis 12:3, Revelation 16:6

In Genesis 12:3, God made it clear to Abraham “I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you;” When we get to Revelation 16:6 we are told, “For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” Biblical justice is never clearer than in Revelation 16:6. Actually the same Greek word that is used for ‘worthy’ is used here for ‘justice.’ It says, “For it is their just due.” ‘Just due’ is the Greek word ax-ee-os and it means ‘befitting, congruous and corresponding.’ God’s fire is befitting, congruous and corresponding for some. What the enemy determines to do to us, God says, must come back on his own head. The whole pursuit of developing atomic weapons by Islamic nations is so they can destroy Israel. Guess who gets nuked first? Jesus makes it pretty clear He is the God of fire, He is coming, there is a spirit of judgment and there is a spirit of burning. And to say they are not here, they are not loose in the earth, is to be a spiritual ostrich with our heads buried in the sand. The God of fire is here and asking us to walk with Him.
