The closer we get to God, the more things will be consumed in our lives.
Do we know that God is a consuming fire?
This fire is at our disposal.
The role of God’s fire is not only to destroy our enemies,
it is also to refine us, to purge us, to conform us to the image of Christ.
Many of us have gotten into the habit of doing as we please because we say grace is available and God is compassionate.
But as long as we want to function like the world system and want to prove that our idols are superior to our God and can challenge him, we will taste the God who also responds with fire.
In 1 Kings 18:36-39
When the offering was being presented, Elijah the prophet came forward and said, “Lord, God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel! that it may be known this day that you are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things through your word.
Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so that this people may know that you, O LORD, are God, and that it is you who turn back their hearts.
And the fire of the LORD fell, and it consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the earth, and it swallowed up the water that was in the ditch.
When all the people saw this, they fell on their faces and said, The LORD is God! It is the Lord who is God!
Also, when we pray, we send fire to our enemies, to demons, to problems asking the Holy Spirit to burn them, break them, and send them away… it is because we believe that our God is a devouring fire.
When we say that our God is a consuming fire,
we are not talking about the flames, nor the fire of the fire because well-equipped firefighters can enter inside and provide assistance,
we are talking about a fire that is not controllable by a Man.
Hebrews 12:29
with piety and with fear, for our God is also a consuming fire.
The Lord is a devouring fire: he consumes your enemies and their works.
In this verse it is not said that the Lord is like fire, but that He is fire, the fire of the Holy Spirit.
In the Bible, each time, the fire came down and the people fell on their faces.
He was not simply under the influence of a spiritual manifestation.
He responded to the presence of God.
God the Holy Spirit who descended among them like a consuming fire.
In her presence, he was unable to stand.
The fire of God has two roles, either it purifies or it destroys.
He either brings favor and blessing to those who obey him, or he brings wrath and judgment.
So let’s be careful how we worship and serve our God.
We must fear him, love him, and obey him.
Hello everyone
Good day
