Why Am I A Wild Worshiper?

Why am I a wild worshiper? I believe that is who I was made to be. I cast no dispersions on those who were made to be mellow, although I wonder how mellow one could really be if he or she encounters the supernatural, ever-burning fire of the love of God that nothing can extinguish (Song 8:6-7). By the way, that is where my nickname FlameOfYah comes from. It is a literal translation of the last part of verse 6. I have seen translations such as “a most vehement flame”, but they are just plain inadequate. God is the only definition of the flame that He is. None can compare. We can only hope that through Christ in us, we will be limited examples, blazing ever brighter as His flame burns away all that is not of Him, extinguishes the darkness in and around us, and lights our individual parts of the world, a beacon drawing all to Him. He does not just light the way, He is Light and He is the Way.

I am walking out, no, check that, running, dancing, jumping, laughing, and without inhibition loudly proclaiming my healing. I was so crushed and withdrawn as a child, not because that was who I am, but because who I am met with disdain from the world I was in, or in some cases I feared it would, and huge amounts of negative emotions churned within me all the time. Maybe only through God's grace did I live through this. I believe the extreme positive was there somewhere, but it was surpressed. Well, guess what, now it is out, and it is never going back in. Even if my physical life is taken, my witness on earth will still remain, and my eternal life in heaven is assured. You can throw cold water on me, and in my human weakness it might have some effect for a while, but through the true Flame of Yah living in me, you can never extinguish me. Like you cannot control the wind in the natural, you cannot control the wind of His spirit blowing in and through me, fanning the flames and carrying them to unpredictable places. Like my t-shirt says, I am an overcomer, not just an endurer, running the race until I see His face, living, not just existing, thriving, not just surviving. I will trample the enemy's works under my dance steps and drown out His voice through my unrestrained lips praising God. Anointing, proclamation, healing, deliverance, liberty, comfort, beauty, joy, and praise are all mine (Isa 61:1-3). Minds, hearts, spirits, and destinies will be set free. I will be used mightily by God, and only because of God, to help others become wild worshipers too, hastening the coming of the day of God (2 Pe 3:12), where all that is not of Him will be burned away, and all creation will worship Him forever. Submit to God now, all of you who oppose this mission, because it will become very hot for you one way or another, so let it be through wild worship, encountering the ever-burning Flame of Yah.
