Fire is mentioned 506 times in the KJV of the Bible.
Fire is a consistent element in the relationship of God with His people, often being used as an instrument of His power, either in the way of approval or destruction.
Fire seems like such a simple four-letter word, but it can wield so much power. It can mesmerize your thoughts. It is dangerously beautiful. It can bring amazing comfort or devastation when not properly contained. But we as humans are so attracted to its light and warmth, we have even tried to harness its power. It is an amazing scientific phenomenon or is it??
When we turn to scriptures, we find that fire has been a part of God’s communication with man since the beginning of time... Is it fire like we know? or is it His brilliant light that is discussed in his word known as his Glory!! It so vast that it must overflow and shine brighter than any light or star is known to man?? He Himself has appeared to man as fire on several occasions in the Bible...Did he show the ones discussed in the Bible his full Glory ?? or was it just a fraction??? He has also utilized fire for that scary word called judgment. That gives us something to think about?? Hmm 😳
To truly understand His fiery presence and His power is a task beyond our human capabilities. So, I will take this opportunity to go to familiar territory. I have not had the privilege of seeing God’s Glory wield this type of “FIRE” power.
What an amazing time to feel the HEAT !! GET LIT !!! 🔥.
“and you said, ‘Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; we have seen today that God speaks with man, yet he [still] lives.”Deuteronomy 5:24 AMP
Jeremiah said. His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. Jer. 20;9
