CONSUMED BY HIS FIRE
Our God is a consuming fire. (Heb. 12: 29b).
Deut. 4:23-24: Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you. For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
The fire of God consumes a person with more passion that love consumes a lover. His consuming fire enters the spirit of man and burns with the same fire that burns within God. It consumes everything in its path, like a roaring fire when it overtakes and consumes everything in its way. If there is any hesitancy about entering into the Fire of God, the Presence of His person melts away all fear and doubt. Lev. 6:13: A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out. Are you discontent, dissatisfied, searching, drifting, dry, depressed? Then ask the LORD to rekindle your fire. Lord light my fire.There should be no difference between the pulpit and the Tabernacle altar! For the minister of God to bring the Word of God, it must be presented from the altar with fire. Like the Old Testament offering, acceptable material (from the man/woman of God) must be holy and wholly consumed in the presence of the Almighty. Anything else is trivia and should be treated as such. That which is presented before the people of God should be an offering worthy of the flame and should be given to man from God. The sacrifice on the altar is the minister’s life and prayers. Nothing less can produce the life of Christ in our midst.
