No this is not about reading a cookbook but about, as you read your bible, you will be cookin’ for God. It’s kinda like the turkey cooking itself. Well, but the source of the fire is the Holy Spirit and so but to be on fire you will have to contain the source, therefore you will need to be filled with the Holy Spirit: 

Matt 3:11 - I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

          Ps 104:4 - Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.

And but the inverse is also true:

2 Chron 15:2 - And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

You see we cannot obey Him and we cannot know Him if we do not read about him (2 Thes 1:7-8), no I don’t just mean to read the bible but to actually desire and get to know how He thinks, loves, serves, behaves, under the most tensest of situations. Read to seek him and you will find Him and then you can discover what it is to find God (Jer 29:13 / Is 55:6), Do so to eventually, when you are prepared as a spiritually mature disciple to do the things that he did while He was on this planet (John 14:12). We cannot be in Christ reproducing nothing in our lives as it relates to Christianity (Rom 6:11, 23). Being and existing in Christ will mean that we reproduce the things that Jesus reproduced when he was here (Acts 17:28). And so but I want to show you a biblical clock that will eventually stop ticking for the gentiles, oh it will stop after the gentile bride is taken up, as Israel needs to be saved next and we have some 144,000 jews to add and more of course, and but when this work is finished it stops for all of humanity for eternity. No doubt the watch industry will crash. Listen and see if you can hear it:

          Is 55:6 - Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.

It is one word, “while”, yes that word tells us we only have a bit of time to decide if we will accept the gospel and saving salvationary life of Jesus, a deal that only He can offer. Eventually, like He is lost to the Jews today for a minute, He will be lost to the gentiles then. Sooner rather than later He will not be able to be found, sooner rather than later He will not be near. I just wanted to nudge you off of that sin ladened couch and get you to be a little uncomfortable regarding your position to and in Him. Salvation for the gentiles has an expiration date. It is best if you accept it now.
