A. What do you think the Fire of God is?
B. Having the Fire of God is being deeply and completely zealous, passionate, desperate, hungry, and fervent for Jesus by the power of the One Spirit who is Holy.
C. True spiritual Fire is a chemical reaction of 1. God’s touch on a person’s life and 2. their reaction/dedication to it
D. Having the Fire of God necessitates continually and repeatedly stirring up zeal for God
E. Having the Fire of God means giving the only reasonable response to the extreme call to give everything.
F. What is Fire, what is it about, what does it look like, and why is it important?
-It’s not just emo
-Let me wet you appetite…
-It’s about being jealous for God (zeal for house)
-Getting a hold of that passion in life that we were all made for
-What’s it look Like? Enthusiastic, but different and better
-Having God’s Fire suggests that you are being consumed (Rom_12:1; Mk
9:49-50)
Having God’s Fire means being consumed for Jesus
God’s Fire answers the demand for zeal for the infinite God
Hebrew, Greek, Spanish, and Latin are all alike:
jealous/zealous = same word (unlike English):
Hebrew:
“קנא” (qânâ') G2205
Greek:
“ζῆλος” (zēlos); G2205 (often: ζηλω);
Spanish:
“Selo”
(SRV);
Latin:
“zelo” (Latin Vulgate)
Having The Fire of God becomes significantly more important
when we see what God is like
Deu_4:24
KJV-Based
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Heb_12:29
KJV
For our God is
a consuming fire.
Isa_42:13 Brenton The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy [LXX: ζῆλον (zahlon) - zeal], and shall shout mightily against his enemies.
Eze_36:5 Brenton therefore, thus saith the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken...
1Jo_1:5
KJV
…God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Jam_1:17

And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and
it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed
between those pieces. 18

with fire, and the bush was not consumed. (Also see: Angels

Exo_19:18 KJV And
mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in
fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole

of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top

And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And
being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one
like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt
about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his
hairs were
white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like
unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the
sound of many waters. 16
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shinning in his strength.
Rev_4:5 KJV And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven
lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of
God.

Act_2:3-4

And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Psa_69:9

For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach
you have fallen on me. [see: Psa_69:7-12]

Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments… 2 Shake yourself from the
dust; arise, sit on
your throne, Jerusalem: loose
yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
(Also: Samson Jdg_16:20.)
Mar_9:49-50 WEB For everyone will be salted with fire, and
every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. 50 Salt
is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it?
Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
(and compare previously: Mar_9:41-48 - Gehenna Fire)
So God’s Fire Means…
Either get jealous for God, or get jealously consumed by God!
Purification or Punishment… It will Make you or Break you
See: What it did to Edom
See: God’s Jealousy Makes Hell (Deu_32:9-23)
Mat_3:10-12 MKJV And
now also, the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which
does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with
water to repentance. But He who comes after me is mightier than I, whose
sandals I am not worthy to carry. He shall baptize you with the
Holy Spirit and with
fire; 12 whose fan is in
His hand, and He will cleanse His floor and gather His wheat into the
storehouse; but He will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire. (Also Luk_3:16-17)
1Pe_1:7 KJV That the trial of your
faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Luk_12:49-53 WEB "I came to throw fire on
the earth. I wish it were already kindled. 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed
I am until it is accomplished! 51 Do
you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but
rather division. 52
For from now on, there will be five in
one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father;
mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against
her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Note: if you are not getting persecuted by the church (at least eventually), you can be sure you are not proclaiming the Division Fire of Jesus’ Truth to them.
Phinehas
Num_25:10-13 CAB And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused My wrathH2534/G2372 to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealousH7065 [ζηλωσαιG2206 / ζηλονG2205] among them*, and I did not consume the children of Israel in My jealousyH7068 [ζηλωG2205]. 12 Therefore say, Behold, I give to him My covenant of peaceH7965 [εἰρήνηςG1515, as in peacemaker: Mat_5:9-12: εἰρηνοποιοίG1518]; 13 and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealousH7065/G2206 for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
*Greek: ζηλῶσαίG2206 μου τὸν

Hebrew: Same Hebrew word used for jealousy! (Examples: Gen_30:1; Num_5:14 & Num_5:30)
Psa_106:30-31 CAB 30 Then Phinehas stood up and made atonement, and the plague ceased. 31 And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations forever.
(Also compare the actions of Nehemiah: Neh_13:23-25)
Mar_1:2-6 WEB As it is written in the prophets,
"Behold, I send my messenger before your face… 3 The voice of one
crying in the wilderness… 4
John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance
for forgiveness of sins. 5
All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him… 6 John was clothed with
camel's hair and a leather belt around his loins. He ate locusts and wild
honey.

He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice
for a while in his light.
See Jeremiah’s persecution below
Luk_24:31-32 KJV And their eyes
were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked
with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
2Co_11:2 KJV For
I am jealous2206 [zealous] over you
with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present
you as
a chaste virgin to Christ.
Col_4:12-13 KJV Epaphras,
who is one
of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that
ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and
them that are
in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
(compare earlier in chapter 4: Col_4:6 - From Favor to Fire)
(Remember? Rev_1:12-16)
Kamikazes always produce
fire! (911)
But for us…
“…the weapons of our warfare are not
fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, (2Co_10:4 MKJV).”
And there is a right and a wrong way to burn…
Let’s compare Kamikazes with getting angry… Did Jesus ever Get Angry?
Psa_69:7-12 CAB For I have suffered reproach for Your sake; shame has covered my face. 8 I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children. 9 For the zeal of Your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached You have fallen upon me. 10 And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach. 11 And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them. 12 Those that sit in the gate talked against me, and those that drank wine sang against me.
Repeated
in Psalm 119
I had to
correct this translation from the Greek LXX:
Psa_119:139 CAB Your [the]
zeal [ζῆλοςG2205]
[for your house]*
has quite wasted me; because my enemies have forgotten Your words.
[* “ὁ ζῆλος τοῦ
οἴκου σου”
– same as Psa_69:9]
Joh_2:14-15 CAB And
He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the
moneychangers sitting there. 15 And having made a scourge out [ἐκ] of cords, He
drove* [ἐξέβαλεν (exe-ballen)
– lit. threw out (fig. drove)] them
all out [ἐκ]
of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and He poured out [ἐξέχεε]
the coins of the moneychangers, and He overturned the tables.
* “Cast Out” Analysis
This “Cast out” word is extremely stoked with connotations beyond even
the provocative astonishment its literal (actual) rendering causes:
·
It may be somewhat spiritual
(and or “so-to-speak”) as in: Mar_1:12; Mat_9:25; Gal_4:30; Mat_9:38; Luk_10:2;
Jam_2:25; Luk_6:22; Mat_12:20; (from Isa_42:3); Mat_12:35; Luk_10:35
·
It can even be a kind act
(i.e. when the “exit” (εξ) is shared (εξαγει/εμπροσθεν)
with the “caster” Himself): Joh_10:3-4
·
Or it could be literal and or
figurative at the same time, as in: Joh_9:34-35;
Act_16:37; 3Jo_1:10 (stronger literal in this case); (compare Mar_9:47)
·
But it may very well be
literal as in “He overturned the tables”;
·
this is very powerfully seen
in the following examples where this word is used: as in Mar_1:12]
·
Particle out of eye:
Mat_7:4-5; Luk_6:42
· Demons: Mar_16:9; Mar_7:26; Mat_7:22; Mar_1:34, Mar_1:39; Luk_9:40
Mar_11:16-17 CAB And [He] would not permit that anyone should carry a vessel through the temple. 17 And He was teaching, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a 'den of thieves!' " [also in Mat_21:13]
Joh_2:16-17 CAB And He said to those selling the doves, "Take these things away from here! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!" 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "The zeal for Your house will consume Me."
Mar_3:4-5 CAB Then He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they kept silent. 5 And looking around at them with anger [οργηςG3709], being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.
G3709 ὀργή orgē
or-gay'
From G3713; properly desire (as a reaching forth or excitement of the mind), that is, (by analogy) violent passion (ire, or [justifiable] abhorrence); by implication punishment: - anger, indignation, vengeance, wrath.
· Jesus flips over the tables, (Joh_2:14-17; Mar_11:16-17) and gets mad over unwillingness to approve of healing on the Sabbath (Mar_3:1-5). We should be like this too.
· In all of this remember: be angry, and don’t sin: Eph_4:26 [Moses struck the rock (Num_20:7-13)]
· Right anger is a critical sign of Biblical zeal. (Compare: Luk_6:22, Luk_6:26)
· Also See: Paul’s anger over idols (Act_17:16 – G3947 παροξύνω)
A Hebrew name “Elkanah = “God has possessed” or “God has created”” (BDB)
אלקנה from H410 [El] and H7069 [Kanah]
H7069 קנה qânâh
kaw-naw'
A primitive root; to erect, that is, create; by extension to procure, especially by purchase (causatively sell); by implication to own: - attain, buy (-er), teach to keep cattle, get, provoke to jealousy, possess (-or), purchase, recover, redeem, X surely, X verily.
If you do not yet have the
Fire of God, If you have been settling for less, then
the sad news is that you’ve been duped to giving your life away to
worthlessness. But the good news is, you don’t have to
stay that way!
Is what your living for worth dying for? If not, then it’s not worth living for either.
Guard against getting
wiser than your youthful zeal. Any “wisdom” that casts scorn on more zealous beginnings
is a purest form of utter foolishness.

Rev_3:14-20 EMTV "And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write, 'These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God: 15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 Therefore, since you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, 'I am wealthy, and have become rich, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been tried by fire, so that you may become rich; and white robes, so that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and eye salve, so that you may anoint your eyes, in order that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and I am knocking. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and I will dine with him, and he with Me.

Luk_14:33-35 MKJV So then, everyone of you who does not forsake all his possessions, he cannot be My disciple. 34 Salt is good, but if the salt has become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? 35 It is not fit for the land, nor for manure, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. -Read: Mat_10:31-39-

me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me. 38 He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't
worthy of me. 39
He who finds his life will lose it; and
he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
Mat_8:19-23 WEB
A scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will
follow you wherever you go." 20 Jesus said to him, "The foxes have
holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to
lay his head." 21 Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, allow
me first to go and bury my father." 22 But Jesus said to him, "Follow
me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead." 23 When he got into a
boat, his disciples followed him.

Fire is at the very core of the basic fundamental call to follow Jesus
This Basic Call to discipleship, the only way to not be “spit out”
So many ask the wrong question: “Are you saved?” “Are you Born Again?”
When we should be asking, “Are you completely burning hot for the real Jesus, and are you and purified from all sin?”
Be ready, or get cut into pieces (Mat_24:40-51)
Fire is not optional. It’s not just something cute that youth groups get pumped up about.
Going extreme for Jesus is the only way to live
Luk_13:23-24 WEB; also think Joh_12:39 “Could not believe…”
[repeat]
Isa_52:1-2 WEB Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments… 2 Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit on your throne, Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
(Also: Samson Jdg_16:20.)
Laziness… Complacency… .
Don’t expect God to give you that truly adventurous
life of his fire if you are still filling Your mind
and desires with its counterfeit portrayed on TV!
“we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spirits and powers and…” (Eph_6:12)
Heb_12:14
ISV
“Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.”
(Similar
to Principal: “The Holy
Spirit
never makes light of sin.”)
Don’t think that you are going to get the real fire from God without holiness;
You won’t even see Him
Lev_10:1-3 WEB Nadab and Abihu, the
sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid
incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he
had not commanded them. 2
And fire came forth from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before
Yahweh. 3 Then Moses
said to Aaron, "This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, "'I will show
myself holy to those who come near me, And before all
the people I will be glorified.'" Aaron held his peace.
Often burns solely off of
emotions,
not the reality of obedience to God. · Often puts value on your loud personality instead of the depth of
True fire.
(“they
look like they are on fire!” – But they soon “burn out” )
Mat_13:5-6 Some fell on rocky
places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly,
because the soil was shallow. 6
But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they
withered because they had no root. [Not remaining
fruit: Jn 15:16]
When someone is “On
Fire!” and
they have sin
in their life, then it is the fake defiling fire based on sinful man.
Unredeemed emotions quickly and easily counterfeit God’s Holy Spirit, in an unholy way.
