Someone once said that time spent in front of a fire is never wasted; there is something incredibly fascinating about it. It can be warming and comforting, or it can be wild and out of control.
The Bible calls God a consuming fire and likens the judgment of God to fire. It also paints a picture of the presence of God like fire.
As I contemplated this message's direction, I sensed God saying that there is only a small difference between the fire of judgment and the fire of revival. In both cases, God consumes. In judgment, he consumes the wicked and cleanses the earth of evil. In revival, he consumes the wickedness of our hearts with the fire of His presence.
