God is love-1 John 4:8
God is Spirit- John 4:24
God is a consuming fire-Hebrews 12:29.
He doesn’t change. He doesn’t waver. He doesn’t look at circumstances. When God says something, it is done.
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Malachi 3:2 “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness.
The consuming fire of God purifies us; we must be baptized with fire. This is something most Christians have not received. They have been baptized in the Holy Spirit but not the fire.
Matthew 3: He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
And then came the day of fire! Like a rushing mighty wind, it shook the little remnant of believers and the place where they waited on the day of Pentecost; the Church was born.
The tongues of fire and the Spirit of burning sat upon them, and they were changed. All triviality, all doubts, all tendencies to waver in their human dedication were burned away. The place was shaken that day. The baptism of fire was the beginning of the shaking of the whole world.
The promise of that baptism of fire is “to you, to your children, and to all who are far off” (Acts 2:39). What happened on that first day of Pentecost was an initial fulfillment of the experience of fire.
Again, the Spirit of God is going to be poured out in its fullness. What began with one hundred and twenty in the upper room will be completed in a remnant who even now are walking in the “fire” that is being restored to the Church.
Fire is not for cleansing of sin.
Fire is for purging and refining; it deals with the consequences of sin in one’s life, the pollution that sin has caused. It also deals with the demonic.
We are transformed by fire.
The Blood is for cleansing, the Cross is for dying to self and the Fire is for purging (the removal of something undesirable, impure, or imperfect, deleting the data of the unrenewed mind)
The Fire deals with Soiled, emotions, hurts, polluted minds, bad memories, spirit strongholds, body pollution and hereditary problems.
