The Fire
of God
.
God’s heart burns with a
blazing love for you. A love
that never changes. A love that remains. A love that is waiting to turn your
life upside down. Ask God for His fire - ask Him for this blaze of His love.
The fire of God burned intensely in Jesus Christ. Jesus baptizes us in
the fire of God. Love is
a fire from the Lord. It is stronger than death - love that consumes what is
evil, love that moves like a whirlwind of compassion and commitment. Pray for the fire
of God all your life - every day we need new
fire. The world is seeking fire - the world is seeking the power that frees and
heals and delivers from the swamps of darkness. That is the fire God wants to
give to you - ask Him for it
By David Sorensen
The fire of God is
a fire of love, purity and power. We need His fire, every day of
our lives.
Did you know there is a fire, a fire of love, that burns for
you?
Did you know that God’s heart burns with a blazing love
for you?
A love that never changes. A love that remains. A love that is
waiting to turn your life upside down.
Ask God for His fire.
Ask Him for this blaze of His love. Make it the most
important prayer of your life:
“Father, give me Your
blazing fire of love. Let me be filled with that fire.”
If you receive this fire in your heart, the burning love of God, you
will change and reach the world.
This fire is stronger than death. This fire is more beautiful
than life itself. This fire is more intense than anything that exists.
Ask God for His fire, because He will
give it to you.
Without fire of God you
live without true life, without passion.
Without the fire of God you have religion, human wisdom derived
from the Bible and
insights that appear to be godly but which do not result into the power of God.
It is empty. It sounds nice, but it doesn’t change lives.
It doesn’t heal the sick. It doesn’t set the possessed free. It
doesn’t help the suffering.
The fire of God burned intensely in Jesus Christ.
The fire of God changed Jerusalem into a place of fire on the
day of Pentecost, when the Holy
Spirit was poured out.
The fire of God lightens up the hearts of people worldwide and
it changes them more than anything else.
Jesus baptizes us in the fire
of God.
John the Baptist said: “When
Jesus comes He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with… FIRE” (Matthew
3:11)
The blazing fire of God’s love captures your heart and sets
you on fire for the salvation of other people.
Ask God for His fire.
Take time to be filled with the fire of God, which has more
power than anything else.
Love is
a fire from the Lord. It is stronger than death, according to Lamentations 3.
Love as a fire.
Love that consumes what is evil, love that moves like a
whirlwind of compassion and commitment. Love that makes you real.
The fire of God takes off
the masks
Fire cleanses. Fire burns away your self-fabricated image.
Fire humbles you.
Fire strips away your fabricated clothes, consumes the
dirt and leaves you cleansed and free, so Jesus can clothe you with His
humble garments.
Fire is what we need.
Ask for the fire of God. Do it. Take the time. Ask God.
With words alone you will never reach the people who are lost.
You can caress the carnal mind and intellectual, religious,
hypocrisy of the sinful man,
but that will not help anyone.
With Christian words you
caress your pride, your idleness, your spiritual esteem. “Look how humble
and devote I am!”
With spiritual words and
many studies you puff yourself up. “Knowledge puffs up, but love
builds up.”
Love is as a fire that burns right through the harness of self-defense.
Love makes ice-cold pride melt. You need this love. Without
it you are empty, without it you do not have what God wants you to have.
The virgins who had the fire
of God
The virgins had their beautifully polished Christian oil lamps
with them, but only a few of them also had the oil that could make the FIRE
burn.
“At that time the kingdom
of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to
meet the Bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish
ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however,
took oil in jars along with their lamps.” (Matthew
25:1-4)
Is your oil lamp empty? Ask for the oil so your fire can burn.
Do it! With this fire you will enlighten others as well.
Love is action. Love is real. Love
is God. Ask for the fire…
Father, forgive us that we are
so busy with our own things and ignore You. Father, forgive us that
we do things our own way without being led by Your Spirit. Father, forgive
us that we so easily talk about You, but run the other way really fast
when You approach us with Your fire and love, power and passion. Forgive
us, Lord.
Father, You are life. You are
love. You are pure fire, real fire. Change us, Lord. Take our words
away and give us FIRE. Take our intellect away, so to speak, and make
us like children who live in You. Make us real, Lord.
Burn through our pride and
defenses with your consuming fire. Make us real, Lord. Make us blaze
with Your fire, Lord. Baptize us, Father, in the eternal fire of your
love.”
Pray for the fire of God all
your life
If you pray today, but never again, you are like a flame that
flickers a while, but is quenched or put out by the dust of life. Every day we
need new fire.
The world is seeking fire. The world is seeking love and
authenticity. The world is seeking passion, answers, and hope.
The world is seeking the power that frees and heals and delivers
from the swamps of darkness. That is the fire God wants to give to you. Ask Him
for it.
“For anyone who asks receives,”
says Jesus (Matthew 7:8).
The fire of God in the Bible
“I baptize you with water
for repentance. But after me will come One Who is more powerful than I, Whose
sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and
with fire.” (Matthew 3:11)
“I saw that from what
appeared to be His waist up He looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire,
and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded
Him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance
around Him.” (Ezekiel 1:27, 28)
This description shows that God
consists of fire! His body is fire… That is why fire is so important.
“This third I will bring
into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They
will call on My name and I will answer them; ‘I will say,’ “They are My
people,” and they will say, [The LORD is Our God.’” (Zechariah
13:9)
“To the Israelites the
glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the
mountain.” (Exodus 24:17)
David
Sorensen had a dramatic encounter with God, which completely transformed his
life. He decided to spend the rest of his life showing others show real God is
and how much he loves us. David's desire is that people would learn how to
experience God as the most beautiful reality there is.
GOD IS REAL does not represent any religion, but shows you that God is the most beautiful reality there is. He gave us the Bible as His guideline to learn about His plan for mankind and to reveal who He is. God however does not fit in any box of a religion, but He is the creator of all mankind and He wants to bring all of us into an intimate relationship with Him. Please don’t ever seek a religion, but seek God Himself, who fills all things and who is the essence of our existence. Jesus Christ did not come to establish a new religion, but to restore all of God’s creation back to Him.
