Fire

What are the three parts of Fire?

Spark or flame
Oxygen
Wood

What does fire do?

Fire Cleanses

Isaiah 6:6-7 (NIV)
Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. [7] With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."

Fire will lead us and show us the way

Exodus 13:21-22 (NIV)
By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. [22] Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

Fire spurs us to evangelism

Jeremiah 20:9 (NIV)
But if I say, "I will not mention him
or speak any more in his name,"
his word is in my heart like a fire,
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed, I cannot.

Fire can change our path in life forever

Exodus 3:2 (NIV)
There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.

Fire Refines and Proves what you got

1 Peter 1:7 (NIV)
These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.




Fire Test what you have and the quality of what you have

1 Cor. 3:13 (NIV)
his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work.

Fire Consumes Your sacrifices and brings intimacy with God

2 Chron. 7:1-3 (NIV)
When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. [2] The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled it. [3] When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the Lord above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying,

"He is good;
his love endures forever."

People stay away from the fire of God in order to be able to live their lifestyle the way they want, what they do not realize is when you stay away from the Fire of God you stay away from God because GOD IS FIRE

Hebrews 12:29 (NIV)
for our "God is a consuming fire."

How do we obtain Fire and let it grow?

Spark = Jesus must accept him

Wood = Word of God

Oxygen = Prayer

Psalm 39:3 (NIV)
My heart grew hot within me,
and as I meditated, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:

Jesus Came to bring fire.

Luke 12:49 (NIV)
"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

Do you have it or are you missing one of the parts? Does it need to burn hotter? If so which element do you need?
