This is hands down one of my absolute favorite worship songs. It moves me to tears whenever I sing it because it a prayer I have deep within my heart. Praise you Jesus!
"HEAVENLY FATHER "...YOUR FIRE TO FALL DOWN UPON MY CHILDREN AND MY FAMILY AS A COVERING.."FATHER"..I STAND IN YOUR PRESENCE AND I STAND IN AWE..🧎♂️❤️✝️🔥🛡🕊🙏
Hi Caldyn, Fire is a Biblical symbol of divine judgment. The "consuming fire" reference in Deut 4:24 is a reference to God's judgment upon those that ignore His command to abstain from pagan idol worship. They will be consumed in his fire of wrath. Deuteronomy 32:22, "For a fire is kindled in My anger and shall burn unto the lowest sheol and shall consume the earth with her increase and set on fire the foundation of the mountains." Deut 4:24 - For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. The same idea is presented in Hebrews 28-29 "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire." Our worship must be brought to God in Spirit and in Truth. Worship that is acceptable to God is put forth by the worshiper in holy fear of Him who has the power to consume all unacceptable false religious worship in His divine judgment. Blessings
To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this: 15'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. 16'So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Just be on fire for the LORD and stop the stress of quoting scriptures and putting your own meaning to them.
caldyn phillip Hi Caldyn, No need to get defensive. If a brother can help me better understand God's word blessed is he. Do you not agree? Should we not hold each other accountable to accurately handle God's word? What I hear you saying is forget about trying to understand the Bible just be excited about God. Having a zeal for God or "on fire" as you put it is worthless apart from the truth. True passion for God comes from understanding His word and applying it to our lives. For apart from Christ we can do nothing. Can you share with me where I put my own meaning into the verses I shared with you about God being a consuming fire?
Shane Haffey caldyn phillip Hi both! :) I agree that being accountable to each other in walking God's path is needed for us to grow in Christ, which is why I find this discussion wonderful. :) Just my two-cents' worth: We become "on fire" for the Lord when we understand His love, His sacrifice, and commit ourselves to Him. It's wonderful to be on fire for Him.. At the same time, being on fire means you would want to devour God's Word. Let us not be too literal on the meaning of His Words.. We know our God is powerful and has authority over everything. One thing can become different in His hands. Fire was indeed used to destroy, but fire was also used to signify the Spirit, to signify zeal for the Lord. Anything can be good or bad, it all depends on how one wants it to be. Lastly, I hope we don't go into a verse battle where everyone is already set on defending and not on understanding, because I think in a hit-on-hit between Christians, only Satan wins. God bless guys.. :)
Dear all Yes, let's always go back to the word (: Mark 3:11 teaches us that through Jesus we will receive a baptism of Spirit and fire. This is directed to us disciples (believers; saved) and so 'fire' in this context cannot refer to the wrath of God since through Christ we have already been made righteous. 'Fire', in the context of believers, is described in 1 Cor 3:12-13 as that which 'will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.' In fire is where we are refined, where all things that are worthless and hinder our relationship with God will be burnt up ('wood, hay, straw'), revealing the 'gold, silver, precious stones' in us; till we become the pure and spotless Bride (Eph 5:27) for God's glory and the Bridegroom's coming (Matt 35:1-13). Hope this offers some understanding (:
Godwin Bassey 2 Kings 1:12 - Elijah replied to them, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty." Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. Rev 20:19 - And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them Numbers 16:35 - And fire came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men offering the incense. Job 1:16 - While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.” Luke 9:54 - When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"
Shane Haffey Very good research Shane, sounds like you know your Bible. God's Fire can be a good thing too, and of course in this instance the song is talking about fire as a good thing... Matthew3:11 " I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire." Praise God that as believers we don't need to be afraid of God's wrath of fire!
Nancy Varner Hi Nancy, May I humbly suggest you revisit the scripture you just quoted. The "Fire" reference in Mathew 3:11 is not a reference to the Holy Spirit; such as in Acts 2 which likens fire as a metaphor for the Holy Spirits delivering of the gift of tongues to the apostles. Instead fire in Math 3 speaks of the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire, hell (V 12). This illustrates my point perfectly. In our zeal we need to offer worship to God in Spirit and in Truth. Blessings!
Shane Haffey Hi Shane, I was really responding more to the sarcastic comment to you by Godwin Bassey. I am so tired of Christians saying hurtful things to each other and not speaking in love. He was implying you were not a Christian without even knowing you or your heart. Anyway, I sure will check into the scripture I referenced. I always thought that Jesus was referring to fire as a good thing in this particular passage. I'll research it more thoroughly...Thanks.
I know about the fire of God when I first got saved I was burning with fire in my soul from Gratitude. I remember how passionate I was. I still am* but in this walk, you must guard your Heart and your passion because there is plenty of distractions and lost people that because they don't feel the way you feel. they make you feel weird for being in love with God. after all this, i learned that God is to be shared verbally but with God and your flair your rush to seek Him. this is treasure and you shouldn't let anyone in your inner circle with God. that's just You and Him and where you give Him everything. let Noone steal that from you. it's hard to get back once it's gone. God bless you and pursue God with your whole Heart. in Jesus Name!
Some can actually see the Holy fire surrounding people and flaming tongues above people's heads. I have sought God about the baptism of Fire. It is an unquenchable thirst to seek him, love him, praise him, reach the lost.
when someone tells me they're afraid, or just anxious, or even terrified, i ask them of what? drill down, and the answer is always 'of dying'. if we're blessed enough to get to that, the rest is easy. no, you're not afraid of dying. dying is usually painless, brief, and if there is physical pain, it's brief too. what we're truly afraid of is not dying. it's living. it's fear of looking at what we've 'killed' intentionally or not, in our lives, in the past and what we fear we may 'kill" in the future. once that realization dawns, and we decide that we want to live, the fear of 'dying' does too. some call this salvation, and yes it can happen instantaneously if it's Gd's will (if you have grace) AND you exercise your FREE WILL to accept it. best advice i've ever recieved is to dive deep in your lowest moments with openess to grace and if it's meant to be, one of those moments will create a 'new dawn' and you will NEVER be the same.
Then I asked, if he's been aforementioned, and approved of, which one? I opened to Apocrypha, Wisdom of Jesus Son of Sirach, Sir 45:7-12 "He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him the priesthood of the people....He clothed him with superb perfection, and strengthened him with the symbols of authority...And he encircled him with pomegranates, with very many golden bells round about, to send forth a sound as he walked, to make their ringing heard in the temple as a reminder to his sons and to his people; with a holy garment, of gold and blue and purple, the work of an embroiderer, with the oracle of judgment, Urim and Thummin; with twisted scarlet,the work of a craftsman ...the dlight of the eyes, richly adorned. Before him there never were such beautiful things..."
why do we have to talk doctrines of man and man understanding in videos? can we not just enjoy the presence of Christ? he never wanted it to be this way, arguing ect. but one mind. denominations pfft ...GIVE ME CHRIST! I want His power his joy his understanding his words his thoughts because all the things I do or can do is a false act.
Yes. So much of this is right, but that line "fire fall down" shows biblical ignorance. We all learn as we grow in Christ, but these guys get songs out to the public before they've understood much of Scripture. As mentioned in the comments, "fire" is a word used throughout all of Scripture to describe God's wrath. You don't want His fire. Ever.
Hi idbworship! I agree with you that those who don't know what the "fire" in this song is pertaining to, that the fire is the "tongue of fire that showed on top of believers' heads signifying that the Spirit is alive within them", may not understand. That makes our work that much more apparent, doesn't it? ;) The idea of how many people are indeed ignorant of what this means just shows us how big the harvest is that no worker has yet got to. I hope more people would ask why we want fire to fall down on us, so you and I can share to them that we are not masochists wanting God's wrath or actual fire to befall us, but that we are asking God's Holy Spirit to be with us as it was with the disciples to enable us to do God's work, for which our own power is insufficient. :)
No, you don't want that. That's the baptism John was referring to when those trees would be cut down and thrown into the fire. It's a bummer and it happened to over 1million Jewish people in AD70. They suffered Jesus' baptism of fire.
but what about the day to Pentecost when the holy spirit fire fall down up on them ? ...... cts 2:1-15 ESV / 25 helpful votes When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven....... this song is clearly about verse uke 3:16 John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. because Kim said Holy Spirit fire come baptized us. .she obviously knows what she's talking about

God is a Consuming Fire. They are talking about spiritual fire as Holy Ghost filled.

Every time scripture records fire falling from heaven it never ends well for us.
Which of the scriptures are you referring to Shane? I guess it's not the same Holy Bible that we (Christians) read.
Godwin Bassey 2 Kings 1:12 - Elijah replied to them, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty." Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
Rev 20:19 - And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them

Luke 9:54 - When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"
