Can you imagine where mankind would be without fire? We use it to warm ourselves, to cook food, to light our way through darkness and have used it to make tools and weapons. It is critical to our survival. It’s no coincidence that God often appeared as a fire in the Bible and referred to Himself as one. He is critical to our wellbeing. He uses the right fire at the right time in our lives when and where we need it. Take a moment to I ask God to give your life the fire it needs right now. Whether it’s to purify you, ignite you, light your path or anything else, He will do it.
Here are some Bible verses on the Fire of God.
1. The [presence of the] Lord was going before them by day in a pillar (column) of cloud to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, so that they could travel by day and by night.
Exodus 13:21 AMP
2. The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing flame of fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was on fire, yet it was not consumed.
Exodus 3:2 AMP
3. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
Acts of the Apostles 2:3-4 NLT
4. Be certain that you do not forget the covenant that the Lord your God made with you. Obey his command not to make yourselves any kind of idol, because the Lord your God is like a flaming fire; he tolerates no rivals.
Deuteronomy 4:23-24 GNT
5. 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, for our God is a consuming fire.
