Is Your Fat In The Boiling Pot?

Boiled Down and Officially Competent

Is your fat in the 'boiling pot'

Are you "going through" and/or "waiting" for a Word from the Lord to lead and guide you? Are you seemingly challenged on every side, misunderstood, persecuted in any way "for the gospel's sake", forsaken, and/or ostracized for reasons unknown to you? If any of this apply's to you, look up and rejoice! Do not let satan put you down, falsely accuse you or place false responsibility on you. Search the scriptures for yourself (John 5:39, John 14:26, II Timothy 2:15) and see what the WORD of God says regarding your particular situation.

If you are a Believer who has invited Jesus Christ of Nazareth to be your Saviour, you have been 'called' to 'carry on' with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-20). When you submit to your 'call', you are a 'chosen' vessel. You must be ENABLED by the HOLY SPIRIT to accomplish your God given assignments, for you can do nothing within yourself, your power, or your strength. However you CAN do all things through Christ which strengthens you. (Philippians 4:13)

Paul wrote....I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2

To prove what is the good and acceptable will of God, we begin by allowing Holy Spirit renew our mind, open our spiritual eyes and ears and give our heads (mind, eyes, ears, nose, mouth) a Holy Ghost 'makeover'. (I will elaborate more on this at another time)

When I began to study and meditate on being 'ENABLED By The Holy Spirit', I found that one of the definitions for ENABLED is 'TO RENDER'. Definitions for RENDER are 'BOILED DOWN and QUALIFIED' and also 'To GIVE OFFICIALLY.'

Holy Spirit took me back in my memory to when I was a little girl living on a farm. My parents raised as much of our food as possible, including meat. In the fall, some of the pigs were killed, cut up and prepared (enabled) so they would qualify for food which we would eat all winter. Hams and shoulders were cured. Some of the meat was put into a grinder and became sausage. And the fat (and I don't remember what else) was put into a big black 'boiling pot' on an outside furnace that Daddy had built.

Moma would make the fire hot under the 'boiling pot'. She would say she was 'rendering' the lard. After awhile she would strain what was in the boiling pot through a cloth (probably a feed sack). A beautiful, clear liquid would flow through the cloth. Not one speck of anything was in it. Next the liquid had to cool. The fat and any other by products that Moma had placed in the 'boiling pot' had to go through the COMPLETE PROCESS in order to become an almost snow white solid known as PURE LARD. It was now QUALIFIED, COMPETENT and ENABLED to be USED as PURE LARD in the delicious (and FIT to EAT) biscuits, cakes, pie crusts, cookies, etc. that Moma made.

Is your fat in the 'boiling pot' Are you being 'rendered' (enabled) by the Holy Spirit? In order to do what God has called you to do, you must go through a "process' to be qualified as competent and to be enabled to carry out your divine assignment. Think it not strange at the fiery trial which comes to try you as though some strange thing happened to you. Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:4)

When you come to the knowledge that you are being "Enabled by the Holy Spirit", you can rejoice in the fires as you are BOILED DOWN and QUALIFIED by HOLY SPIRIT through HIS special process, so that you may become Officially Competent to "Do', to "Be' and to "Accomplish' everything that God wants you to 'Do', to 'Be', and to 'Accomplish'!
