Strange Fire II

READ: I Kings 18:36-42, MORE LESSONS: Isaiah 43:18-19

To conclude this study, be reminded that the fire of Jehovah consumed dust, even stones and water. Let us first consider the characteristics of a stone. It is hard, signifying difficult things and situations, things that you have patiently endured, yet they have not changed. Stones can take the form of a mountain, very lofty and solid. Dust on the other hand refers to tiny ubiquitous particles found everywhere, even in locked rooms. Dust therefore stands for things that make you dirty yet you don't know how they enter your life. You do everything to prevent them, but they keep coming. Water is the ever powerful, touchable, visible thing which has a great force to destroy and to quench anything in your life, just as water has no respect for anything on its course.

With the strange fire, the people acknowledged the sovereignty of God, ...when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. Vs 39-40.

Elijah the man of God slew all the prophets and priests of baal. Similarly, every force and priest contrary to the priesthood of Jesus in your life, I proclaim them slaughtered. As the stones were consumed, so are the evil forces in your life consumed, in the name of Jesus.

And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain v41. This instruction is to you for your future. I say to you today, get thee up, and don't be down anymore, for the things that put you down have been burnt by the fire of God.
