Fire brings light, produces heat. and produces smoke. Fire might not seen or felt but it can be smelt, thus it is hard to miss the fire and we need to like fire and have an impact in out societies. Fire is a constant just like God and what differs is the material it comes into contact with thus it burn at different rates.

Samaria went through a similar situation we are currently experiencing with the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Samaria siege, there was no movement allowed in and out of Samaria.

True evangelism exposes false faith. God's gifts are cannot be purchased they are given by grace. We must guard ourselves from carnal appetites.

You can be short in supply of other things but not the power of the Holy Spirit that works in and through you. Peter and John knew that their words had power - hence they commanded the cripple to look at them and to walk. Miracles are designed to point people to Jesus.
