One of the most powerful themes that runs through all of Scripture is the fire of God. From Genesis to Revelation, God's fire appears again and again. It burns in bushes, descends upon altars, rests upon mountains, fills temples, empowers prophets, and ultimately comes to dwell within believers through the Holy Spirit. In this day and age of troubles, strife and calamities, we need to seek, yearn and desire to burn for God by His holy and pure fire! God burns for us in love, so we need to burn for Him! The fire of God is the very presence of God through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It is the anointing and the flow of the power of the eternal and living God. The fire is also the light of God, for fire is light. God is the source of all light as an all-consuming fire. For Christians to be "e;in"e; the Lord, they must be in His fire to produce the light and the heat of His love and glory. The Bible teaches that we must be holy as He is Holy. We do so by being refined by His fire. Glory to God, His fire is spiritual, not natural. It is majestic, beautiful, and runs like a liquid in our soul and spirit. How we need to be consumed by His fire so that we may shine His light and dwell in His manifested glory! Yes, the fire is a blazing presence of the Spirit so that we may stand victoriously, overcome in joy and be triumphant in praise and worship to the Great I AM. Let it burn, God, so that we may burn in Your love and hope!
