Part 1 – Get God’s Fire
1. What is ‘having the Fire of God?’
The BIG Picture
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
The
Detailed Picture in Languages
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)
2. God is Fire
Having The Fire of God becomes significantly more important
when we see what God is like
A. Consuming Fire
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...
B. Light
1Jo_1:5
KJV
…God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Jam_1:17
KJV/WEB
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation,
nor turning shadow.
Isa_42:6
WEB
I, Yahweh…. give you for a covenant of the people, for a light
of the Gentiles…
Question:
Where do
you think that the light comes from? –We’ll come back to this…
C. Abrahamic Covenant
Gen_15:17-18
KJV
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
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram…
[Animal
parts, covenant: Jer_34:18-19]
D. Burning Bush
Exo_3:2
KJV
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame
of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned
with fire, and the bush was not consumed. (Also see: Angels
ministering spirits/fire Heb_1:7; Rev_10:1)
E. Mt. Sinai (Mosaic Covenant)
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
mount quaked greatly.
Exo_24:17 And the sight
of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top
of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
F. “Pillar of Fire”
4 Places:
Exo_3:21-22; Exo_14:24; Num_14:14; Neh_9:12; Neh_9:19
G. Jesus’ Eyes of Fire
& Seven Lamps Of Fire
Rev_1:12-16 KJV-Based
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.
(Also
in: Rev_2:18;
Rev_19:12.
Jesus
the same as yesterday & forever: Heb_13:8)
H. More “God = Fire” verses:
2Sam_22:9; 2Ch_7:1-3; Rev_20:9
Transition…
I. God likes things to be HOT
Rev_15:2 – Sea of glass mixed with fire
Rev_3:15-16
WEB "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you
were cold or hot. 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor
cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
J. We Should be like Him
Not only is He fire,
and not only does He like fire, but He wants us to be like Him in fire
1Jn_4:17
NKJV Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have
boldness ß
on the day of
judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. (Conversely: 1Jn_3:2-3) ß
3. We must have
God’s Fire
Salt, Light, City, Lamp
Mat_5:13-16 Salt…You
are the light
of the world, city,
lamp
(all light was made by fire!!) ß
(“Salt” necessitates “Fire”: Lev_2:2-16, Ezk_43:24, Mar_9:49-50. Also Read Luk_4:33-35)
John the
Baptist!
Joh_5:35 WEB
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice
for a while in his light.
Filled with Holy Spirit
Act_2:3-4
MKJV-Based
And tongues as of fire appeared to them, being distributed; and
it sat upon each of them. 4
And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Zeal
Psa_69:9
WEB
For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach
you have fallen on me. [see: Psa_69:7-12]
After driving
out the money
changers:
Joh_2:17 CAB Then
His disciples remembered that it was written, "The zeal for Your house will consume Me."
See: Jesus Got Angry
Fervent in
Spirit
Rom_12:11 not lacking in eager/diligent/business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Always
Zealous/Right Zeal
Gal_4:18
Remember
Phinehas Num_25:5-13,
Others: 1King_19:10, Pro_23:17, Tit_2:14
Call on
God!
Isa_64:7 CAB And there is none that calls upon Your name, or that remembers to take hold of You…
Ý
Awake and Shake
ß
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.)
Fire Makes or Breaks You
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)
Ax, Holy
Spirit, Fire, Purification!
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)
Trials
That Purify
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:
Division Fire
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.
4. Examples of Fire
Peace Keepers vs. Peace Makers
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
ζῆλονG2205
ἐν αὐτοῖς
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)
John the Baptist
-- Wild & Burning!
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.
Joh_5:35
WEB [About John the Baptist…] ß ß
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice
for a while in his light.
Jeremiah
See Jeremiah’s persecution below
Road to
Emmaus – Does the “Opening” of the Scriptures Burn in
You?
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?
Paul & Epaphras - Zealous/Jealous
for the Body of Anointed One
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.
Fervent
Prayer
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)
The
Apostle John
(Remember? Rev_1:12-16)
Kamikazes For
Jesus?
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?
Jesus’ Anger Foreshadowed in the Psalms
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]
This Means
Jesus Got Angry
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."
Jesus Got
Angry Over Their Unwillingness for Him to Heal
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.
Summary of
Anger
· 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)
Elkanah
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.
Wasted Without Fire
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.
5. The Salvation of Fire
Test Your Salvation in General
--from “Fear God” in the “Repent of Words” Bible study--
2Co_13:5 WEB Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don't you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? -- unless indeed you are disqualified G96. [αδοκιμοι G96 (adokimos) – that is, “not” (a) “aproved” (dokimos)]
Ú Don’t be too offended and proud than to examine your Salvation!
Ú He’s not asking you to do anything that he’s not willing to do himself (Compare Gal_2:2; 2Jn_1:8-9)
1Co_9:27 WEB but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected G96. [αδοκιμος G96 (adokimos) – that is, “not” (a) “aproved” (dokimos)]
----
So how
Does “Testing” Relate to FIRE?
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.
[Entire context: Rev_3:14-22]
They are
not Zealous
Rev_3:15 - works not hot or cold
Rev_3:16 - lukewarm = spit out
Rev_3:19 - be zealous [“ζηλωσον” (zḗleue); Greek: Imperative V-AAM-2S
or V-PAM-2S]
& repent
Why are they not zealous?
Rev_3:17
- they say they are rich: but they are blind!
(Rev_3:18 - how to see)
Other Repentance References
Rev_2:4-5, Rev_2:16, Rev_2:22; Rev_3:3; Rev_9:20-21; Rev_16:9; Rev_16:11
Act_17:30-31 - everyone should repent
Mat_24:48-51 / Luk_12:45-46 - lack of zeal makes one sin
The Extreme Devotion of Fire
Luk_14:25-27 WEB Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said
to them, 26 "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't
hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and
his own life also, he can't be my disciple. 27
Whoever doesn't bear his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple.
READ Verses 28-32
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-
Mat_10:37-39 WEB He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of
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.
Jesus Doesn’t Jive With Quick
Shallow Commitments
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.
Eat
flesh drink blood, Joh_6:1 (ect)
Remnant Mentality
Rom_9:27 WEB Isaiah cries concerning Israel,
"If the number of the children of Israel are as the
sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved; [See Isa_10:22]
Remember He says later:
Isa_64:7 WEB There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you
[The remnant is
specifically mentioned 16 times as a theme throughout Isaiah. Do you see that
the remnant is the few who stir themselves up?]
Rom_11:5 WEB Even so then at this present time
also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
2Th_2:3 WEB Let no one deceive you in any way. For
it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is
revealed, the son of destruction,
1Ti_4:1-2 WEB But the Spirit says expressly that
in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing
spirits and doctrines of demons, 2
through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as
with a hot iron;
Mat_24:12 WEB
Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love 26 [αγαπη]
of many G4183 [πολλων; the greater
part] will grow cold.
6. Summary
of this Salvation
Fundamental
Call
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”
The Wrong
Question
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
Be ready, or get cut into pieces (Mat_24:40-51)
Only
Option
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
Few answer
this call… Few will Make it!
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.)
7. Enemies of Fire
A. Examples:
Laziness… Complacency… .
B. TV
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)
C. Lack of Love for Holiness
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
8. Fake, Strange
Fire
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.
A. Self/Demon-generated
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.
B. Doesn’t last
(“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]
C. It allows Sin
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.
D. Loud people,
especially
former drug addicts/street people
are much more prone to it
9. Repent Of Zeal
Summaries of Huge Passages
1Co_13:4 - Love is not zealous?? Now what
does that mean?
> 1Co_14:1 – “be zealous”: so how is love to be
zealous and not be zealous?
1Co_3:3 – Where there is zeal (ζηλοςG2205) among you = fleshly (2Co_12:20)
Gal_5:20 –
Works of the Flesh (ζῆλοι,
θυμοί,)
Jam_3:14-16 - Bad Zeal is, selfish, soulish, demonic
Jas_4:1-2 - Lust makes bad zeal: "ἐπιθυμεῖτε" (v. 2a) > "ζηλοῦτε" (v. 2c)
Jas_4:5 - God's Passion (ἐπιποθεῖG1971) vs. your zeal:
See: Heb_10:27; Zep_1:18; Zep_3:8;
Rom_10:1-3 - Israel's Zeal (and see Saul's: Phi_3:6)

Warning Examples Of bad Zeal
Gen_4:1-16 - Cane Murders Abel
Especially:
Gen_4:4-7 - Offering (Heb_11:4 - by faith)
Gen_4:8-12 - Murder
↓
1Jn_3:12 - …and

personal religious works)
Mal_2:11-13 -
Profaned holiness of the Lord… (He Love you, and His holiness, but you like a
prostitute profane His holiness as my relitve did to
their brother, to polute their kindness unto you)
Be Warned!
If you are zealous for your own
things, you will always rage against the truth and anyone who ever seems to
represent it.
(Luk_6:11; 2Ki_19:27-28)
Do not zealous (Jealous, envying) to preserve yourself
against people (1Co_13:4) or truth
(Jam_3:14).
Repenting of zeal may make more sense if we look at the
application of the word "Passion":
Good And
Bad Passion
Luk_22:15
– Pain linked to Passover: “πασχαG3957”/
“παθεινG3958”
Uses: ἐπιθυμία
= desire/lust
Act_1:3
– “παθεινG3958,”
translated as the word “passion” (KJV)
1Th_4:5
– “πάθει” - Passions...
of lust; (compare: Rom_1:26; Col_3:5)
Uses: ἐπιθυμία
= desire/lust
Same word used for sorrow...
Job_30:31;
Pro_25:20
And especially see how it is used here!:
2Co_7:7-12
- "ἐπιπόθησιν"G1972 (2Co_7:7; 2Co_7:11)
(Compare: Jas_4:1-2,
-above-)
Etymology:
G1972 < G1971: ἐπί
+ ποθέω
Good Zeal
2Co_11:2-4 - Godly zeal
Col_4:6 - From Favor to Fire (Col_4:12-13)
Mar_9:49-50 - Fellowship of Fire
(REAL Love and Peace!)
Summaries
Pain = Passion > Desire (Lust) > Zeal (Jealousy/
Envy) > Fire of God (brought by Grace Col_4:6)
or Fire of Hell (Brought by sin Deu_32:9-23;
Heb_10:27)
If you have Proper Passion, it Produces
Powerful Pursuit; But Poisoned and Polluted Passion Produces Permanent
Perdition
10. True Fire
A. It burns bugs (Exo_3:2)
B. Jeremiah’s Fire/Zeal
Depressed…
1Ki_19:4
WEB
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down
under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Yahweh, take away my life…
But still Truly Zealous…
1Ki_19:14
KJV
And he said, I have been very jealous for the
LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy
covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and
I, even
I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
(Zealous,
but obviously not based on Emotion)
C. It is deep and It
remains: Joh_15:16
Part 2 – Fire & Spiritual Understanding
1. The Proper Use Of Emotion
A. David
Had Emotion In Worship
2Sa_6:14-16 KJV And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
B. A Man After God’s Own heart
…he
gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man
after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will, (Act_13:22 KJV; Also see: 1Sam_13:14; 1Ki_15:3, 1Ki_15:5).
C. So what do you think God is
like??
--We see him in David--

“joy1523”H1523
גּוּל גּיל gı̂yl
gûl gheel, gool A
primitive root; properly to spin around (under the influence of any violent emotion),
that is, usually rejoice, or
(as cringing) fear: - be glad, joy, be joyful,
rejoice. |
|
“singing.7440”
H7440 רנּה rinnâh
rin-naw' From
H7442; properly a creaking (or shrill sound), that is, shout (of joy or grief): - cry, gladness, joy, proclamation, rejoicing, shouting,
sing (-ing), triumph. |
D. And what did He command for
us to do?
Mat_5:11-12 / Luk_6:22-23 – Rejoice in the face of persecution
If we rejoice in the face
of evil, how much more should we in the presence of God?
Hebrew & Greek Words for Rejoicing:
|
Hebrew: “H5970 עלץ ‛âlats aw-lats' A
primitive root; to jump for joy, that is, exult: - be
joyful, rejoice, triumph.” (Strong’s) Used in
8 places:
1Sa_2:1; 1Ch_16:32; Psa_5:11; Psa_9:2; Psa_25:2; Psa_68:3; Pro_11:10; Pro_28:12; |
|
Greek: “G21
ἀγαλλιάω agalliaō
ag-al-lee-ah'-o From ἄγαν
agan
(much) and G242; properly to jump for joy,
that is, exult: - be
(exceeding) glad, with exceeding joy, rejoice (greatly).” (Strong’s) “To exult, leap for joy, to show one's joy by
leaping and skipping denoting excessive or ecstatic joy and delight… Often
spoken of rejoicing with song and dance (Sept.: Psa_2:11; Psa_20:5; Psa_40:16; Psa_68:3).” (Word Study) “G4640
σκιρτάω
skirtaō
skeer-tah'-o Akin
to σκαίρω
skairō
(to skip); to jump, that is, sympathetically move (as the quickening of a fetus): - leap (for joy).” (Strong’s) Used
as a reference to how to rejoice in Luk_6:23 |
Psa_5:11 CAB But let all that trust in You be gladH8055 / G2165 in You: they shall rejoiceH7442 / G21 * forever, and You shall dwell among them; and all that love Your name shall rejoiceH5970 / G2744 in You.
[*Psa_5:11: “αγαλλιασονται”
- not so directly marked in Stong’s, but almost
exactly the same as “αγαλλιασθεG21” in Mat_5:12]
E. Self Control!
Think: “Spirits of prophets
are subject” (1Co_14:32)
-If their spirit is subject, how much more their emotions!
-Emotions are fundamentally different than spirit, so make the distinction!
-“I just
want to be lead by the spirit…” [Then have self control]; But we make ‘being lead’ out to mean: ‘I
just want to be jerked about by my emotions .’ - If
you are looking to be jerked around, you open your self to other spirits that
will tickle your emotions. The devil will gladly give you an experience if
that’s what will get you to take on a counterfeit “holy spirit”.
2. Two Goodly Fires
· There is
fire by choice, but there is also fire by Revelation!
ß
A. Two Well-established,
Conversing Principals:
Rom_9:16
WEB
So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who
runs, but of God who has mercy.
Heb_11:6
MKJV
But without faith it
is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to
God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek 1567
Him.
ß Hebrews Tangent About
“Seeking” ß
|
Seek1567 ἐκζητέω ekzēteō
ek-zay-teh'-o From
G1537 and G2212; to search out, that is, (figuratively) investigate, crave, demand,
(by Hebraism) worship: - en- (re-) quire, seek after (carefully, diligently).
(Strong’s) |
Þ 2Ch_7:14 KJV If my people, which
are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways… (Also:
Zac_8:21-22)
(This
is important because these two principals reflect the Two
types, or “aspects”, of true fire)
So What
does this mean?
So anyone can seek God and find Him, but in the end no one can do anything unless God has mercy on the work of His hands, and causes it to happen upon His helpless creation.
Both of these realities are gloriously displayed in the Allegory and representative symbols of the Two Alters:
The Tabernacle
B. Two Altars
The First Altar is Sacrificial, (AKA: “The Brazen Altar”).
Sacrifice is your choice, it is practically self-initiated, (though it is still
a sweat smell to the Lord: Gen_8:21, Lev_1:9…, *Eph_5:2, Phil_4:18).
Psa_116:17 WEB I will offer to you
the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of Yahweh.
(Also: Amo_4:5, “of praise”: Jer_33:11, Heb_13:5,)
The Second Altar is the altar of incense, where God has his angels add incense to our
prayers, and they ascend before Him; The incense is an
addition of Grace. In this fire we
are God-initiated and
closest to God. Without such from
the Lord we are ultimately
left to our own resources, especially when it comes to fire.
· The
"fire on the altar" before the Lord is not the sacrificial altar, but the altar of incense and prayer.
Luk_1:8 CAB So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,
Luk_1:8 ᾿Εγένετο
δὲ ἐν τῷ ἱερατεύειν
αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ
τάξει τῆς ἐφημερίας
αὐτοῦ ἔναντι
τοῦ Θεοῦ,
Luk_1:9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was selected to burn incense when he entered into the temple of the Lord.
Luk_1:9 κατὰ
τὸ ἔθος τῆς ἱερατείας
ἔλαχε τοῦ
θυμιᾶσαι εἰσελθὼν
εἰς τὸν
ναὸν τοῦ
Κυρίου,
Luk_1:10 And all the multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Luk_1:10 καὶ πᾶν
τὸ πλῆθος ἦν
τοῦ λαοῦ
προσευχόμενον
ἔξω τῇ ὥρᾳ
τοῦ
θυμιάματος.
Rev_8:3-5 KJV And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar…
The
Example of Jeremiah
Think: all of the Prophets
Jer_20:7-9 WEB Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocks me. 8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Yahweh is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day. 9 If I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't contain.
ß (Sounds like) ß
Psa_69:9 WEB For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. [see: Psa_69:7-12]
The
Example of Isaiah
Isa_6:1-7 (KJV-Based) In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried unto the other, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 And the posts of the door shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, “Look, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.
The
Example of The Apostle John
The fire that he saw in Jesus' eyes stayed with him!
(Remember? Rev_1:12-16)
,
Remember the
Road to Emmaus?
This (alter) leads to revelation/ open eyes
D. A Comparison of the two
altars
Can’t
completely separate the two, but…
The first altar is bronze, but the second is gold, indicating the second is superior, just as revelation from God is to our choice to pursue Him.
Important Saying: There is nothing like sacrifice to catapult you into the fire of God, and even less is there anything that will completely consume, captivate, amaze, overtake, and push you over the edge into the fire of God like Revelation!
3. General Admonitions & Summations
A. Don’t get caught up and
distracted by the glamour of being “On Fire”
If you do then you will never get it. [You’ve got to have Truth, and it has to remain]. –I’m NOT saying, “Don’t get pumped up”
B. It comes best by CLEAN Spiritual experiences! (Why do you think that the prophets are so zealous??)
[Because they have seen things from God!]
C. The priest will not start a fire on the altar until you first bring a sacrifice
D. The only way to do this is to pray! Many come to youth group wanting the glamour, but aren’t willing to pay the price. (Remember the ‘Fervent + Effective prayer’ of Jas_5:16)
4. More Scriptures/ Extra Thoughts
Israel Consume Esau
Oba_1:17-18
KJV
But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness;
and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and
the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they
shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any
remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
Shake and
Awake
Psa_35:23
KJV
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my
God and my Lord.
God’s
Jealousy (Zeal) Makes Hell
Deu_32:9-23 KJV For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. 15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. 21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

The Shortest Path to Zeal
8/11/17; 1/14/18 (Presented, recorded)
Get indignant to always clear yourself.
Example: don't walk outside without clothes on.
Sometimes zeal is another word for real faith
Zeal Helps Perception
When you are
faithful to remain addicted to this posture it can help your perception...
it can make you default to the right
conclusions!
And what are you
getting zealous about?
it can be summed up in one word:
Justice
(remember
Phineas again)
The Path
When we talk about
it being a "path" we are including the aspect in which there are
things that need to happen in order to reach the goal of zeal...
Don't drive faster
than your skill set, nor be more zealous than your level of integrity and
Truth.
Repent, get garbage
out, then get up as fast as you can with Phineas and get zealous to apprehend
Truth in front of you.
Indeed, your tongue
may stick to the roof of your mouth, and you may sit in silence and be
confounded for hours...
but if you at least maintain the
obsessive goal of getting to zeal as fast as you can, then you can win.
The Extended Path
When you take the
long path of procrastinating justice...
·
you are liable to
commit sins along the way
·
you damage others
with Injustice
·
you hold back the blessedness
from those who more Worthy then your own theology
·
you delay and
endanger your greatness
Zeal is The Answer
Like we have said
numerous times before : Zeal is the antidote for
depression
Just when you feel
the most limp and Droopy, it may be time to jump!
How do you know
when the Creator has assigned sorrow to you, as opposed to when you should
instead be jumping up and rejoicing?
If the Injustice of
complacency and the lacking of Zeal is ever happening
in your sorrow, it is time for Zeal -- it has been placed upon you, and it has
been required of you, from above...
