welcome to firebrands 616

The Hebrew word firebrand, used in Judges 15:4, is: לַפִּיד (lapeed).  Each of the four letters have their own meaning which, when put together, create a picture with a greater definition. 

The first letter, lamed [לַ], is the heart that reaches or is hooked above. Our ministry flows from a heart that is always reaching and hooking up with not only God, but the true spiritual realities that are needed to live as the image and likeness of God in this present evil age (Ps. 19:14; Phil 2:5). 

The second letter, pei [פִּ], means mouth open, blow, spoken word.  Through the anointing of the Holy Spirit we open our mouth and release the wind of God through  spoken word.  The entrance of that word brings light to all who receive it (Ps. 119:130).

The third letter,  yud [י], is the infinite point. The source of all that we do and say as a firebrand comes from the infinite dimensions of God.  My source is the infinite God who created and fills all things with Himself (Acts 17:28). 

The fourth letter, dalet [ד], means poor/humble bowing down. It is from a position of humility and worship that all things flow. It is out of the heart that flow all the issues of life, and from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Prov. 4:23; Lk. 6:45).

From these four small letters emerges the picture of the humble heart of a worshiper, hooked to the infinite One above,  speaking and breathing forth the life of God.  Will you join me as fellow firebrands?  Will you add your divine spark to mine and join Firebrands in “branding the nations with the fire of His love”?
