Exodus 3: 1-12, 2Kings 1:1-14, 1Kings 18:31-46, Acts 2

Fire is a chemical reaction that gives off light and heat. It is an example of the chemical process of oxidation. Oxidation is when a substance looses out some electrons.

But the Fire we are talking about today is the Fire of Holy Ghost Acts 1:8, to refine, to purge, purifies and to consume, to be witness and becoming what you are called to be Isaiah 60:22.

Let the Fire Fall can be;

A command - 2Kings 1:10 “If I am a man of God,” Elijah answered, “may fire come down from heaven and kill you and your men!” At once fire came down and killed the officer and his men.

A request/plea 1Kings 18:36-39 (An experience on Mount Camel) 36 At the hour of the afternoon sacrifice the prophet Elijah approached the altar and prayed, “O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove now that you are the God of Israel and that I am your servant and have done all this at your command. 37 Answer me, Lord, answer me, so that this people will know that you, the Lord, are God and that you are bringing them back to yourself.”[b] 38 The Lord sent fire down, and it burned up the sacrifice, the wood, and the stones, scorched the earth and dried up the water in the trench. 39 When the people saw this, they threw themselves on the ground and exclaimed, “The Lord is God; the Lord alone is God!”

An advice - 1 John 3:2-3 (Amp, GNT) My dear friends, we are now God's children, but it is not yet clear what we shall become. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.  3 And everyone who has this hope [confidently placed] in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure (holy, undefiled, guiltless).

2 Tim 2:21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things [which are dishonorable—disobedient, sinful], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified [set apart for a special purpose and], useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. 

What Fire does;

Fire burns up the impurities - 1 Cor 3:12-13; But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will be clearly shown [for what it is]; for the day [of judgment] will disclose it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality and character and worth of each person’s work).

Zach 13:9 “And I will test the third that survives and will purify them as silver is purified by fire. I will test them as gold is tested. Then they will pray to me, and I will answer them. I will tell them that they are my people, and they will confess that I am their God.”

As believers we are raw gold (ordinary vessels) the refinery fire brings out the hidden treasures in us, He take us through the fire, we survives it and become a vessel of noble purposes and whatever fire does, it does it irreversibly, it is possible when you’re drench by rain you get dried up but a spark of fire becomes wild and unstoppable.

Fire enables potential to become a reality – inside a wood there’s potential of fire when catch with fire it brings out that potentials - Luke 5:1-11, Acts 2:1-41

Fire doesn’t discriminates - it is whether whatever it get contact with becomes fire or reduce to smoke or ashes.

Prayer Points

Why must Fire Fall on me:

• Ex 3:2 - Moses saw, “he looked” “he starred in amazement” Is your eyes open to the spiritual or in total blindness, Lord let your fire fall to remove every veil, heal my spiritual blindness that I may begin to see the invisible and to be invincible in readiness for the wiles of the enemy
• He was attracted to this great sight – God use this to get His attention, what is your own attraction, your greatest desires, your interest?  Lord let your fire fall that I may be attracted to you becoming a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto you
• V3 “Moses turned away from the flocks” – he turned away from distractions, he was responsive to the call -  Let fire fall; to purifies/purge me; to deliver me from every residuals of the old man holding me bound; to be able to keep myself pure
• Moses “drew closer” – Let fire draw me more closer to you that I may see and hear the inaudible
• V4 “God called him by name”  - When He calls you by your name, He fills you up 1Sam 3:4, 19-21. Let your fire fall that I may be call by my name and be fill up.
• V5 “take off your sandals” – Moses took off his sandals in obedience, what are your own sandals making it difficult to obey and trust Him. Let your fire fall to detox, declutter me of arrogance, laziness, prayerlessness, disobedient, self righteousness
• V10 “.....now am sending you” Moses was commissioned for a great assignment which brought about his promotion from a shepherd of sheep and goats to a leader, a vessel to deliver God’s people from slavery and a promise of His presence always. Let your fire fall that my true commissioning may start; and to be a true witness producing the evidences of my purpose here (on earth)
• Let the Fire Fall can be a request, plea or a command – Let your fire fall to remove totally and permanently evil and wickedness from every homes, on our street, in our communities, every borough, cities, churches, in governance, affairs of this nation.
