We often hear today a phrase in church, it goes like this: we are praying for the fire of God or we want the fire of God in our churches.
When a fire starts it burns all that can be burnt unless put out, as we look what happens when a fire occurs change happens. It takes what was and reduces it down and even changes the appearance of it. Fire is also used for cleansing out or cleaning for new growth.
So there is this word that is within me, that goes as follows. When we are on fire from God we will be reduced down from out own will to his. There will be a cleansing that may hurt our flesh for awhile but it will be for new growth. New growth is what we want in our individual lives to bring glory and honor to God. So let the fire of God burn.
