Let The Fire Fall

     In the Bible, fire is used a number of times to de- scribe the power of Almighty God. It is used too, in the old testament in offering sacrifices to God. Noah built an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord when they were finally able to come out of the ark and when God smelled the sweet savor of the sacrifice He said in His heart that He would not again curse the ground for man's sake and He made a covenant with Noah that He would never again destroy the earth with floods. Gen. Chapters 8-9.

     Fire was also used to show forth the mighty power of God. When Moses was trying to get Pharoah to release the Israelites and let them leave the land of Egypt and Pharoah refused, God sent plagues upon Egypt. When Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, God sent thunder and hail and fire. Exo. 9:23

     Fire from God also showed His approval. In Lev. 9:24 And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat....

     Fire was also used figuratively to show God's protec- tion as well as to show His vegeance. Zech. 2:5 and in Heb. 12:29.

     Fire was used to describe the time of Christ's coming. Mal.3:2  But who may abide the day of His coming? And who shall stand when He appeareth? For He is like a refiner's fire, and like Fullers' soap.

     Then on the day of Pentecost, Acts. 2:3  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Verse 4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Fire was also used to signify purification. Isa.6: 6-7. In Isaiah's vision.

     Again in Mat. 25:41  Then shall He say unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlast- ing fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. He is refering to the fires of hell where those who have refused to believe on Him will be cast into along with satan.

     We who are God's children need to pray and seek for the fire of His Holy Ghost to fall upon us if we are to be strong and stand firm in our belief in Him. And if we want to see our unsaved loved ones and those who are lost come to Him then we need to pray continually for the fire of revival to fall all across this land and also throughout the whole earth.

      Praise God for the fire of His righteousness! Pray God, let it fall on us! Amen?........

                   Let The fires Burn

Lord let Your fires of revival

  sweep all across this land;

Bringing in the lost and dying

  that Your Kingdom will expand.

 

May Your Spirit move within us

  that we'll obey Your command;

That's when we'll see the fire fall

  sent by Your own hand!

 

Let Your light shine through us

  and light the path to You;

That men will give their hearts to

  You and be made whole and new!

 

Let Your love and compassion be

  felt within our heart and soul,

That we'll help them to be ready

  on that day You call your roll!
