1. No matter what the situation or circumstances you’re in, you can light your fire if you can overcome your excuses. (00:15:57)

• Recommendation: Build your fire first and your ship second. Your career will only be a dash in your tombstone, but your fire for God will be eternity with God.
• Genesis 12:8 (NIV)
• Make what is eternal permanent in your life, and what is earthly temporary.

2. You must go farther, deeper and even higher to acquire the fire. (00:26:41)

• Exodus 3:1-2 (NIV)

3. Events, conferences, camps, messages start the fire, but it’s your choices that keep the fire. (00:30:17)

• Stop living by feelings and start living by faith. God is not a drug for you to feel all the time. 
• You’ll either live in secret sin or in the secret place but you can’t live in both.
• People that pray they won’t stray; People that fast will last.
• Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT)
• God is someone you know, not someone you feel, yet He allows us to feel His presence.
• Fasting is preparation for temptation, it helps you control and discipline your flesh. If you can say no to food, your craves, you can say no to sinful desires. 

4. The fire will bring out and expose hidden things, including serpents whose job is to derail your purpose in life. (00:37:12)

• The fire did not bring the viper, the fire simply exposed it; the viper was always there.
• The same fire that exposed the viper was the same fire that killed it.
• Do you have the fire to kill it?

5. The enemy always attacks the areas God plans to use. (00:42:23)

6. Keep on serving and ministering even when you’re feeling miserable. (00:44:52)
