Introduction

Believe it or not, the supernatural fire is like-unto the burning bush that never burned up. In our day, we have never seen or known such a thing. The question was asked, Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?

They said, We have not heard of such a thing as the Holy Ghost.

Today, some have experienced it and believe in it; some have heard of it and are afraid to experience it, not realizing they are missing out on God’s fullness of power without measure. Many are operating on half-full, like a car running on a half-empty tank of gas. The overflowing well hasn’t begun filling them up to the full, running over and flowing out to the lives of others. The power of God’s pure and holy divine presence is the supernatural baptism of the Holy Ghost power with the presence of fire sent by Jesus Christ flowing through your inner being. It’s a flowing river of life stirring up some and imparting life to others. It’s totally unlike the natural fire that is destructive and devouring.

If there is an aching void, a thirst for something your heart is set on and you are consumed with it, that is a desire for the baptism of the Holy Ghost power gift with the fullness of fire without limitation. The liquid oil of the fire of the Holy Spirit’s fullness is sacred, loving, virtuously pure, inwardly soul-searching, and sets captives free. The presence of fire breathed into you by God is not to be misused and abused. It was promised and kept even now that the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus Christ would come and fill you with the fullness of the power of fire. The Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost are the same. They are the third person of the Trinity the three in one (I John 5:7, KJV). The Holy Spirit exercises the power of the Father and the Son in creation and redemption. He draws in the believers to Christ to see with new insight through the new lens of the eyes of faith.

My desire is to educate disciples of God and revive their interests in the gift of fire from on high. This is to restore and renew the belief that makes known the simple truth with understanding of its power. Desire this truth of the fire of God, let it speak to your hearts with a yearning to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost’s fullness of fire. Be advised, this fullness is the quality or condition of being filled to the fullest in various senses. It is the condition of containing in abundance or abounding in all that is contained in your maker God. You will acknowledge the fullness of time is the destine time for you. Will you step out in it is the question?

You have the volume control--the ability to turn off the negative and receive a great manifestation of a new anointing. It’s already loosed in the heavens for you to walk in the liberty of it.

The believers who were ignited by the Holy Spirit will overcome the strongholds on the soul and the lake of fire. You will see your mission as the church--the called-out ones--is to minister and not spectate. You will see and should experience the life-changing encounter of the Holy Spirit’s power in the lives of Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and yours as well. It’s up to you, the readers, to stay the course and not give up on God. May you enjoy this seven-course spiritual meal prepared for you by the Holy Spirit. Let’s look at real life and sugar-coat nothing.

Chapter 1

The Natural Fire Opens the Book

Sodom and Gomorrah were void of God’s vision for them, the infilling of the fullness of the Holy Ghost gift of power and fire without measure (Genesis 13:13, KJV). They went from making merry and glorying in their sins to dust and ashes (see Genesis 24:28 KJV). God saw that their hearts were hardened against Him then and continue to be so in the world today, as we can see. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah didn’t know Him, nor did they care. Is that where you are? Is there a hunger for more of God? Many are saying no, That was then, and this is now, we don’t need the Holy Ghost’s gift of fire power under grace. For your information, grace is God’s favor to utilize the power gift as an effective tool for witnessing.

God hated the fleshly works of sin and loved His people too much to let them self-destruct. This was what happened when His people refused to repent. A powerful God created a people He wanted to be powerful like Him, and sin was and still is a power blocker.

A Sudden Thing Happened

A sudden overthrow without warning took their minds by surprise with brimstone and the natural fire. The wicked flesh had come to a dead end forever. In everyone’s life, there has to come a cleansing by fire. His love for His people makes it happen by His sanctifying, purging work through His active principles of the living Word of fire. Jesus sent His Holy Ghost power with a fire gift to do the purging and cleansing work in God’s children. His power of fire sets the sinful ways of the fleshly soul and body on fire, burning it up from ash to ash and dust to dust, gone from His sight. Nothing is left but pure hearts and minds eager to serve Him. You are His child; together, we are His children. The belief system of everyone must be well-grounded in right living and godly behavior, in spite of cultural shifts.

Judgment by Fire

There are those who love courting the sins of the flesh. Lot, the son of Abraham, set the example; he chose to camp outside of sin, in a small city name Zoar. Hiding in sin where no one sees or knows him. God, the discerner of all things, knows the intent of the heart. His judgment will come on the continued sins of the flesh. He lovingly removes His powerful hand from covering us when judgment is due. Set out to please your Father God, and you will avoid the unpleasant judgment by fire. Take the challenge and search it out in the Scriptures; you will be lively and exuberantly happy you did.

A Destroying Fire

A deposit of brimstone and asphalt was in the area of Sodom. Fierce-striking lightening from God’s anger ignited the gases that were released, which caused a deluge of rain fire and smoke. Divine judgment had arrived on the scene. When judgment is due, your God is no respecter of persons. The overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah is a warning to the world. It happened then and believe me, even now, it is taking place in the current new age of accountability. The coronavirus this year 2020 has put the whole world on lock-down so we can give Him some valuable time. We cannot avoid such a dangerous downfall as this when true heart repentance is needed.

No Question is a Dumb Question

Does it mean we serve a mean angry God? He is not mean, but He does get angry; there is a difference between being mean and being angry. We serve a loving, wonderful, kind, tenderhearted, gentle, and patient God who seeks an obedient people and to chastise those He loves. God hates sin. Does God take pleasure in allowing the judgment of wrath on His people? No, He does what He does because He loves His children.

The desired fullness of the Holy Ghost and fire sets us free from the love of a sinful life. We can have His profound zealousness of power with a great desire to be an influence in the workplace. In the church house, the white house, and our house. Many are panting, hungry, and starving to experience the exhilaration of God’s power upon them if they haven’t received Him. His grace can invade your hearts by faith. Receive this, let it sink deep into your spirit in great appreciation for how it will benefit your life. Let it be your focus for the new thing He has promised you. It will make the old thing you used to do as nothing.

Scars from the Natural Fire

You’ve seen how the natural fire disfigures by inflicting a wound even after surgery some scars remains. They’re talked about as a fault or blemish left as proof of what a person went through. You have seen it, haven’t you? A fault can be dealt with through the cleansing work of the Holy Ghost power and fire gift. The spiritual fire beautifies the believer for life. As long as the fire is there, and you keep it fueled with the active voice of God to hear Him. God’s fundamental truth of the living Word will always burn deeply in your soul. Your beauty in the creator is powerful in you and comely on you. Your glowing imagination with the brightness of His inspiration manifests in a fire-like glow shining through you, and it is His glorious light. Others will know His presence of fire is with you.

The Flesh Dies Daily

The book opens with the carnal mind in charge. Cry if you want to. It makes sense to denounce carnality and pass the test of flesh denial. It’s an individual thing for all believers to forbid the flesh from being in charge. Taking over and doing what it wants to do. We are given power over the flesh with the active principles of the living Word of fire working in us. The purpose of the purging fire is to blow away the good-for-nothing worthless chaff from the mind and spirit, and to flow through your whole being for empowerment and service to the Lord. Say it now: "Flesh, I deny you the right to rule over me any longer. Have its funeral and say, Goodbye flesh, hello Spirit of the living God, come live and abide in me forever."

Jesus passed the carnal fleshly test, and so can we. "And Jesus full of the Holy Spirit returned from Jordan and was led about by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days being tempted by the devil" (Luke 4:1-2, NASB). Are you experiencing a wilderness test now? Be grateful it’s for your good and not to harm you. The word tempted is to try to prove and put to the test. It’s in your days of trials and experiences you will learn Satan tempts and God tests. This is your opportunity to allow the active fire of the Word to put to death the works of the active flesh. This is something everyone must do.

Temptation Resisted

The devil is defeated—he is mentally unsound and doesn’t know it. His fake news to you of what he can do for you is a lie and has no power to it. All he knows is how to lie, the truth is not in him. Jesus stood up against his temptation, knowing the devil is a liar and the father of lies. The young believers in Christ need to know this. To fall for what the devil says is to fall for deception. As I look back on the Word, it is a great teaching for an understanding between the natural, the real, the spiritual, the fake, or the lack thereof. Then I looked forward for greater enlightenment from the front to the back of the Bible, you can do it too. What happened then? I learned more than I ever knew before.

It teaches you how to do what the savior did. Jesus said unto him, ‘Get thee hence, Satan for it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve’ (Luke 4: 8, NKJV). Here you have this active principle of the living Word of fire power in your mouth, speak it!

Rise up and do what Jesus did--reject the devil, deny his lies, nullify them, and watch him flee from you.

Pass the Test of Doubt

You are challenged to take a stand against the deceptive words from the devil. He must be rejected and refused by you, the anointed of God. You will see him leave your presence, your children, and your household in fear, screaming that you know your God. His satanic if is extremely high and over-the-top, depositing doubt in the mind of the user. However, it has no effect on you. When the people of God know their God, they will do exploits. Jesus gave a clear, precise promise He would send the Holy Spirit and fire to be manifested in His people, He loves. He yearns for us to experience the exhilarating, lively enthusiasm of His fire and glory. Think on this, when the devil leaves you, God always comfort you with the living Word. After you, the true believer, have suffered a while and endured your trying wilderness experience of barrenness, aloneness, and emptiness, being tempted of the devil. Then your God will lead you to others to witness and to the pulpit, if it’s included in your future purpose and destiny. Worship Him in the beauty of His holiness with undivided attention. He gets the glory, and your reward will be great in heaven. How do you feel now and what do you think? It’s all good.

The Power of Words

Receive this promise: "Behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire" (Jeremiah 5:14b, KJV). Believe this principle and achieve it with your unshakable faith. Obey His word by putting Him in remembrance of His Word. He wants you to ask Him in faith to make it happen. The Holy Spirit inspires the message, trust Him to teach you what to say. He is covering you in His hands. Your time is now to depend on the Holy Spirit who teaches you how to use His Godly wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that the enemy cannot resist. Man’s worldly wisdom empowers his natural life. God’s words out of your mouth are the power gifts of fire deposited in you for your spiritual life and work.

Your Preparation Is at Hand

Seek out a mentor the Father has for you. When you do, don’t try to mentor them, let them mentor you. Isn’t that the reason you sought them out? They must be one called and ordained by God, who is anointed to train sons and daughters in Christ for their future purpose and destiny ahead. Fear has gripped the hearts of many and made the fearful afraid to administer words of life on behalf of God. Those being robbed at the hand of the oppressor must get free. The God we know, love, and serve doesn’t want His wrath to go out like a destroying fire under His covenant of grace. Hardly anyone is crying repent for fear of being ridiculed by trusted friends. We are engaging in spiritual warfare battle for the salvation of souls and a change of heart to be prepared for powerful days ahead.

Trust in the God of Fire

While there are some that don’t know Him, there are some that do, and they are boldly speaking out against the terror day and night. The days are here now! God’s people are falling to their weakened knees in repentance and acceptance of His love for them. Rivers of living waters are flowing out of the depth of their bellies, setting captives free to live life in the Holy Spirit. You will rise up one day out of your shame and the weights that are giving you a set-back. You will seek after the fullness of the power of fire. For goodness’ sake! It’s a must-have to be productive in building up a strong, powerful, and able body of Christ, to do exceedingly, abundantly, and above what they think they cannot do. You need to baptize them in Jesus’ name, and God will seal it with His Holy Spirit of promise. Everyone seeking after the creator of heaven and earth is in dire straits for the Holy Spirit, first and foremost in their life. Otherwise, they will have no one to guide them into the path of righteousness and comfort them throughout all the days of their lives.

Unauthorized and Strange

I believe a requirement needed in the world today is that no one should work in the church or business institution without the fullness of the Holy Ghost and power with fire. The leader in authority, president, or boss in charge is included. Some say, You don’t need this gift to work in a business institution. Seriously, study Jacob who worked for his uncle Laban. God blessed Laban’s company because the anointing to be a blessing was on Jacob. Laban put Jacob in that position not realizing he had the power to be a blessing. There are many saved, dedicated, powerful, anointed, honest believers whose hearts God has empowered greatly, working in business with the boss, unaware of who they really are.

Wouldn’t it be better if all were of the same mind working together in Christ? There is a hastiness to be in position of authority, it creates a false fire in the house of worship or a company of employment. It has no benefit for others to receive. It offers a dryness of the natural carnal mind of a man or woman in charge for themselves like Jacob’s uncle Laban. He used strange fire of trickery to deceive Jacob his nephew for his own selfish gratification. If there wasn’t anything in it for him, he would have let Jacob go by firing him. It’s strange to some, but if that’s all you know, all you were taught, it isn’t strange—it’s real life and how things should be in the mind of those that are deceived and delusional.

Strange Fire Mind-set

Never be anxious to offer before others’ strange fire, not understanding the harmful effects of not knowing proper code of behavior in the church or work environment. Things that are spoken of as "strange are unknown things that have never been experienced before by the hasty seekers of self-promotion. Strange fire" is taking matters upon oneself to serve without being told to do so. It is seen where the flesh is ruling. This is not the correct working order, in God’s house or a business institution doing real, honest business. It will not be acknowledged by your Father God. He is aware of those who have experienced His real fire and knows the difference between the fake and the real.

The Grass Is Not Greener

So, you think it’s easy? You have watched your authority do it and think you can do it too, only to find out you are not qualified or ready. Some pay the price for what they do in the flesh. Ask yourself, "Have I been installed in this position by my leader in authority?

Am I properly anointed and appointed to perform in this sacred position in the body of Christ?

God created all things, and by Him do all things exist. He rejects selfish appointment out of hasty action. The Bible says, "All flesh is as grass; and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, But the word of the Lord endures forever" (I Peter 1:24-25, NKJV). The glory and frailty of man is as grass, with too many uncertainties in life to put one’s trust in. Since you were born again of the flesh, which is referred to as dishonest seed, you must also perish like the grass. Live in this life by the Word of God and live forever. His uncompromising Word lives forever.

Learning the Hard Way

Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took censer, put fire and incense in them, and offered strange, fleshly fire before the Lord. Which He commanded them not. Where there is smoke from dishonesty, look for the destructive fire. So there went out fire from the Lord and devoured them and they died before the Lord (Leviticus 10:1-2, NKJV). The two of them seemingly were overly zealous and jealous. Where there is smoke from dishonesty, look for the destructive fire. Beware, your hurry-up-and-do-what-you-want-to-do attitude can cause senseless, untimely, unnecessary death--natural and spiritual. This Bible truth is not meant to scare you but to prepare you for a powerful work. If they had known better, their lives as believers in Christ would have been saved for the perfect timing of the Lord to serve in their ordained, justified, and rightful place. His timing is everything to the believer. When we learn better, the soul will be convicted to do better.

Misguided Zeal

A believer can have misguided zeal when they are misinformed without knowledge
