  1. WeNeedSome… Fire!

  2. We need Some…FIRE! • The Fire of Testing • Proverbs 17:3; 25:4; 1 Peter 1:6-7

  3. Proverbs 17:3, 25:4 (17:3), The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. (25:4), Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the refiner.

  4. 1 Peter 1:6-7 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.

  5. We need Some…FIRE! • The Fire of Testing • Proverbs 17:3; 25:4; 1 Peter 1:6-7 • The Fire of Controversy • Luke 12:49-53; Matthew 10:34-37; Jude 3

  6. Luke 12:49-53 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

  7. Matthew 10:34-37 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a man's foes shallbe they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

  8. Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. (cf. Jeremiah 6:14), “They have healed also the hurt ofthedaughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when thereis no peace.”

  9. We need Some…FIRE! • The Fire of Testing • Proverbs 17:3; 25:4; 1 Peter 1:6-7 • The Fire of Controversy • Luke 12:49-53; Matthew 10:34-37; Jude 3 • The Fire of God’s Word • Jeremiah 23:29; Psalm 12:6; John 17:17

  10. Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

  11. Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

  12. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (Sanctify – purify or cleanse. As fire cleanses silver or gold)

  13. We need Some…FIRE! • The Fire of Testing • Proverbs 17:3; 25:4; 1 Peter 1:6-7 • The Fire of Controversy • Luke 12:49-53; Matthew 10:34-37; Jude 3 • The Fire of God’s Word • Jeremiah 23:29; Psalm 12:6; John 17:17 • The Fire of Enthusiasm • (Not) Romans 10:1-3; (But) Luke 24:25-32

  14. Romans 10:1-3 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

  15. Luke 24:27-32 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the Scriptures?

  16. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29For our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:28-29) We need some fire in our lives!
