🕯 Day 21 – Final Recap & Commissioning: Carry the Fire Forward

📖 “And those who were ready went in with Him… and the door was shut.” – Matthew 25:10

🔄 Final Reflection

This is the end of the prelude—but it’s not the end of the fire.

You returned to the Source.
You rebuilt the altar.
You readied the flame.

You watched through the night. You guarded your oil. You laid yourself on the altar again and again. And when the fire fell, you stayed. When the refining came, you didn’t run. When the Spirit stirred, you said yes.

Now the door is opening—and it’s time to carry what you’ve kindled.

In Matthew 25, the wise didn’t just prepare—they entered in. Their readiness was proven not by passion, but by posture. And their lamps lit the way.

🧭 Commissioning

You are now a lamp-bearer. A flame-carrier. A covenant steward.

You carry something costly. Something sacred. Something that was born in the secret place and forged in surrender. And it’s not meant to be hidden. It’s meant to go forward.

Go light up someone’s darkness. Go pray with flame in your voice. Go stand in rooms others avoid. Go live with oil and fire and stillness and power.

Because the Bridegroom is coming. And He’s calling forth a people who burn.

✍ Commissioning Prompt:
Write a declaration or commissioning prayer in your own words.
Here’s a seed if you need it:

“Lord, I am ready. My lamp is full. My altar is rebuilt. My fire is real. Send me where the flame is needed most. I will not go out. I will not hold back. I carry the fire forward, in Jesus’ name.”

🔥 What Comes Next: Tri-Fire Begins

You’ve reclaimed the oil.
You’ve rebuilt the altar.
You’ve readied the flame.
Now it’s time to tend the fire.

Starting tomorrow, we move into Tri-Fire—a 12-week rhythm designed to keep the lamp burning, the oil flowing, and the Word alive in you.

Each week will carry:

• One devotional focus through the Holy Shield lens — your walk, your witness, your warfare
  
  

• One fire strategy to apply what God is stirring
  
  

• Twelve scriptures that keep the flame anchored in His Word through the week, with a recap on Sunday to fuel you into Sunday services
  

You’ve been lit.
Now we learn to last.

Keep your oil.
Tend your flame.
Guard your altar.
And let the fire become your life.
