“For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble; and the day which is coming shall burn them up,” says the LORD of hosts, “that will leave them neither root nor branch.  Malachi 4.1

Malachi prophesied the birth of Jesus about 400 years before that momentous day. He was the last prophet of the Old Testament. In those four centuries, God was completely silent, only speaking again through His Son and then through the records of the apostles (Hebrews 1.1). In fact, the writings of the New Testament are in the Old, which was then explained. There is nothing to fear, but only believe in the Lord. The Bible is the handbook of the Maker who has omniscience (Hebrews 4.13).

Divine foreknowledge – the advanced knowledge of things – caused Him to write in the Word about what is needed for us to get rid of any hellish work, or of the evil man who strives to rule over mankind. Evil people see no limits to their actions, but we don’t have to be intimidated by them, because above all is the One who reigns. He informs us that everything we need to live is found in the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3.16,17). Read them and live!

The revelation of the verse that opens this meditation speaks to the events in the spiritual world. It was an information to Satan and the demons that the time of divine patience was running out (Mark 1.15). Everyone needs to learn to live by faith; after all, in it there is what is necessary to deliver us from the afflictions sent by the evil one. Don’t be deceived by the world and don’t love it, because it is in the evil one (1 John 5.19). Our place is in the Kingdom of God. Where are you?

Demons are haughty, and they felt such way, freely roaming around the world, shouting and making everyone tremble before them. But they were like straws unable to withstand the fire brought by Jesus. Those who dominated us have been dominated, defeated, and are unable to touch those who belong to God (1 John 5.18). This is the Good News to be ministered to all people who do not yet know the Truth that sets free – Christ (John 8.32; 14.6).

As the Church advances, darkness is being scorched by the Fire brought with the coming of the Savior. He Himself said: “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!  (Luke 12.49). Now, it is up to us to keep it burning and to throw wood on the fire, so that it grows bigger and bigger. The destruction accomplished by the enemy in many lives will be undone with this wonderful Fire, our God, the Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12.29). Believe and pray!

All over the Earth, wherever the Lord sends us, we have the obligation to carry the holy Fire to accomplish the divine purposes, burning the wiles of Hell and freeing the oppressed. There is nothing to fear or doubt, but remain steadfast, trusting in God’s Word. The work of the Most High in anyone is perfect, so let us be positive in announcing that, in Christ, there is more than people need. Surely, many will believe and be saved.

The one who guarantees this is the Lord of heavenly hosts. He informs us that the work is perfect, for it leaves no roots or branches of evil in anyone. Once the devil’s snares are undone, we are more than conquerors!

In Christ, with love,
