"And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one;
to every man according to his ability"
I am a Fire Bender.
Just in case any of you are unfamiliar with what that actually means, I shall try to explain. Avatar The Last Airbender is a cartoon based in a world where people can manipulate, or Bend, the four elements of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. Each nation has individuals that can Bend that specific element, but the Avatar can Bend all four elements.
Airbending is the aerokinetic ability to control and manipulate currents of air.
Waterbending is the hydrokinetic ability to control water, as well as its many forms.
Earthbending is the geokinetic ability to manipulate earth and rock, in all its various forms.
However I said that I was a FireBender.
Firebending is the pyrokinetic ability to create and control fire.
Fire is the element of power, consisting of overpowering force tempered by the unflinching will to accomplish tasks and desires. Firebending is the most dangerous of the four Bending elements. Firebending represents energy and life, not rage and anger.
Fire is also a symbol of Power. The Holy Ghost is represented as a Baptism of Fire, being the Power that cleanses your Spirit.
"Then he called his twelve disciples together,
and gave them power and authority
over all devils, and to cure diseases."
-- Luke 9:1
" I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:
but he that cometh after me is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:"
So you are probably wondering, How does someone learn to Firebend? Most people learn from their father or other close family member. Some learn from an instructor. Others learn from ancient Firebending Scrolls.
This is a Firebending Scroll. |
These Firebending Scrolls are like the Scriptures. They are a record of how to Firebend, written by someone who learned from a Dragon, the original Firebenders. Much like the Prophets and Apostles writting about their interaction with God.
Learning from a Master helps us to understand exactly what you should use your Bending for, and increases our abilities. Much like the Apostles learning from Christ.These are two dragons, Firebending Masters, teaching Zuko and Aang. |
By reading the Scriptures, and praying to our Heavenly Father, we can each find how we should be using our own Bending element to better serve others. We have been given talents, and we need to use those talents or they will be taken from us. (Matthew 25:25-28)
Read the Scriptures and learn of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then Pray and let the Master teach you how to use that knowledge in helping others.
Firebending is one of those things that I enjoy, and so I do the best I can in warming up others on a cold day.
How did you come to know you were a firebender? You explain very well how we can share the knowledge we gain, but how did you discover that "firebending" was your ability?
ReplyDeleteYou have to look at your inner self. Evaluate your personality, the way you think about yourself and those around you. My personality is slightly unstable, so Earthbending is out, I am not very fluid, so not Waterbending, I enjoy flying, but I would rather stay on the ground. I do however like burning things, so I best fit being a Firebender.
