Rekindling the Fire—Week 1: A Devotional on Returning to The Father’s Refining Fire and Who He Created You To Be
About this ebook
Christians are in desperate need of the fire of God. But so many either don’t know what they’re missing, or they had the fire and lost it. When passions have grown cold, and when our hearts feel distant from God, we can’t allow the embers to go out.
As John W. Nichols (author of Healing is Here) was serving God as a missionary and pastor, Jesus told him that he was a prodigal son. He thought he was doing all the right things, but didn’t realize he had left the Father’s discipline. Eventually, John felt his zeal for the Lord had become dull. He knew he needed to fan himself into flames again.
In Rekindling the Fire: A Devotional on Returning to the Father’s Refining Fire and Who He Created You to Be, the author invites you to join in a journey of rebuilding the foundation and being restored as a manifest child of God. It is a twenty-one-day devotional that will return the prodigal to their loving Abba, remove the snares that have drawn them away, and set ablaze hearts to burn with passion again.
This study will allow the Father to pull up roots, prune away every dead thing, and re-create life. Each day will grow a beautiful garden in your heart. As you fellowship with Him again, the seed of His Word will bear much fruit. With scriptural support, daily prayers, and journaling prompts you will be able to apply the principles of this book to your own life as you come along on the journey.
Weekly Descriptions:
This first free week restores the foundation needed to rekindle the fire. We’ll come back to Abba, allow Him to remove the things that have drawn us away, and get ready to receive what He has for us. If you are blessed by these first seven days, you can get the whole twenty-one-day devotional and continue on with the next two weeks.

About the author
JESUS RADICALLY SAVED John W. Nichols at the age of twenty. As a child he had loved to read and write, but drugs and alcohol had stolen his identity. Through the prayers and lives of a few people, he had a revelation of the love of God, and started reading His great love letter, the Holy Bible. As John laid everything down at Jesus’s feet, his life was never the same.
He so wanted to serve the Lord, and give Him every talent. He thought one day (when he was old) he might write a book for God. But God thought he should write something sooner, and told John in a prayer session on January 1st, 2016, to write his book. Since then, John has written five books.
In other prayer sessions, God called John to preach His Word, seek His face, and go into the land He would show Him. He and his wife, Trinna, and their three children, are following this call to show the love of Christ to the world. This was first exhibited teaching and leading worship in their local church, then by working with people with disabilities, then going to preach at the state prison, loving their neighborhood community, reaching out to women and children enslaved in human trafficking, making disciples of Jesus who will multiply, and now serving as missionaries in Rome, Italy.
When John caught a glimpse of how God saw him, everything changed, and he has since sought to show others this good news. He’s recognized most people, Christian or not, feel unfulfilled and don’t know their life’s purpose. This has led John to help people find their calling and have a life of adventure with God.
