Tonight. I know it's the last night, but I have a body in my spirit to just share with you briefly because the subject we are considering is a very sensitive subject and one that can be easily abused, and we need to understand it because a lot depends on our understanding of these realities. And this is why I want to take out time, maybe another twenty thirty minutes, just to shed light on this subject so that you understand it and understand it in a functional and applicable manner. Then we trust God for a bit of ascensions and importations and activations. Before the prophet comes up to speak over the land and speak over you. Appose a familiars that Ross doubles as a pastor and a prophet, so he is going to be here to when I'm done to speak words of blessings glory to God. And so I want to speak to you about the fire of God. And so this night I trust the Law to help me to give you a very simple, yet concise exigencis on the subject, because I need you to understand it so that you can apply it in a functional manner. One of the challenges I've noticed in the Christianity that we practice today is the fact that it is highly emotional yet very very ineffective when you deal with existential issues. And you see any Christianity that cannot effectively affect existential matters, it's not a verifiable Christianity and it's not a dependable Christianity. And so I don't see why you are praying but you are not transformed. I don't see why you are praying and you are not having encounters. I don't see why you are praying and you are not creating change when there is a crisis. That prayer for me is a religious prayer and at best is far as citizen. And so every dimension of Christianity must have applicable aspects and applicable enough for us to verify glory to God. And so every subject I deal with today, I try to understand it from scriptures and know what the sense of that subject is and also know how to apply it. Because I tell you there will be evil days, and when evil days come, that is when the effectiveness and the efficacy of what you have known and practice over the years will be put to test. And unfortunately, many when triers and tribulations come, they are Christianity cannot rise up to the occasion, and the reason is because most of the things we do are largely emotional, not spiritual or scriptural. I tell my people spirituality is scripturality. If you cannot find its root in the scriptures, you cannot apply it to your life. And you may enjoy it, especially when you are young, because a lot of release of adrenaline can be emotion when you are engaging what you are doing. But it's in the face of crisis we know whether what you are doing is functional and whether it has the backing of the Holy Ghost or north. It's my prayer that people will not just leave this meeting tonight emotionally charged, but truly set on fire for God, so that they can apply that fire in. Their respective spheres of influence glory to go. And so it's important for us to look at the subject of spiritual fire because it holds a lot of benefits. It's not another reviver topic we like talking about. You know, when a person spoke about the unquenchable fire or the un ending fire, I said, this is it. We need to understand what fire is. We need to understand how to sustain spiritual fire and We also need to understand how to deploy spiritual fire, because if we don't know this, we will be excited until the day of trouble. And brothers and sisters, heymy, I speak to you from the place of body. I've been there. We have people are excited over a lot of spiritual things. But crisis came and you weep and weep and hide in quietness and in silence, in secret, and you are wondering what you are doing, whether it is true or false. I have been there. If you are looking for a man who is. Sold out, I have been in that place where I abandoned everything. People like us have gone to live in prayer centers. We have gone to live in prayer mountains. We have gone to live in prayer camps. And most of the things we do was with a lot of intensity, but lead to no understanding, and so we could not apply them in the day of trouble. We almost fail. If not for the messy of God, I won't be standing here. There was an occasion where I was hit by attack and I deteriorated to a point where I went into alcoholism. In twenty ten, when my mom died, she was hospitalized. I kept looking at her. Where is this God that we have been proclaiming? Everything I thought I knew could not produce the answer I needed, and she died helplessly. I deteriorated, relaxed into alcoholism, until in the club the spirit of the Low spoke to me. He said, the wages of sin is death. That was how God delivered me from there. So I know what I'm telling you when I speak to you like this, I talked from bodies, so that the day when you need to show your God, she will not have him. He said. My people perish for the lack of knowledge. The people of God can perish. He say, if you faint in. The day of it is not. Because your God is not strong. It's because your own strength is little. See this is why when you engaging spiritual things now, insist to understand how these things work. Not the dynamics, no, the application. Don't just be excited, because when you're excited, you are a time bomb waiting to happen, and the devil will watch out for a season that is most strategic in your life and strike you. Your helplessness will make you dout God. I pray that God we make somebody have a genuine encounter to night. So spiritu a fire, it's not. Another reviverer cliche. It's a reality of the spirit that is tangible and it's verifiable in scriptures. Now, before I go into explaining what spvilitu a fire is, let me outline ten quick benefits of being on. Fire for God, so that when I begin to teach you. Will look at this benefits as the reference point of my teaching tonight. That means, if you truly are set on fire, these things will become natural in your life. Number one, Spiritual fire brings empowerment for kingdom service. When you find a man who is on fire, he does supernatural things with his Every time you attempt to do supernatural things by the energy of the flesh, it means fire is lacking. Jesus told these disciples look twenty four to forty nine. Tarry until you I endured power from on high. Because when you go out, you are not going out as lecturers. You are going out as witnesses. There will be demons to cast out, there will be sicknesses to address, there will be circumstances to turn around, and for you to be able to do that. He is not enough to God tell people I knew him, don't carry pictures around. I was the one who came within when it turns what that why we. Are in a generation where people snap with generals and the thing that is all there is about empowerment. Listen, I celebrate mighty men in the kingdom. I snapped with them. But I have come to understand by experience and by scripture that pictures cannot change anything about your life. They said, tarry until you I endure with power. So the essence of fire is for empowerment, for kingdom service. And that is why in Luke one age acts after one. That's it. He said, not many days from now, you shall receive the holy goes and power, and you shall be witnesses onto me. When the Holy gooes came. In Acts two, verse one and two, he said, when the day of Pentacost was fully came, they were together in one accord, and suddenly they had the sound as of a rosshi mighty win. And the place where they were was. Fuelled, be disfeated, and there appeared on them clothing tongues as of fire, clothing tongues as of fire. So the fire is the empower of the speeded for kingdom service. The moment that happened number one, these fearful people became boked. They stepped out immediately, and Peter began to speak. The Bible said when he spoke, three thousand was added to the church. This is what they could not achieve for ten days after the ascension of Jesus, but in one day they did it because empowerment has called so fire is not about jumping, It's about empowerment. You are a Christian for ten years, what are your results in the kingdom? That is why you need fire. If you don't have fire, you're a continuous shouting in excitement, but you have nothing to show for your Christianity. The moment fire come, results, we follow. Impact we follow because one of the reasons for fire is for empowerment. You will notice that when you lay hands on the sick, it will no longer be your hand, It will be an extension of the hand of God. This is why your hands now can heal the sick, because something has come upon you. I tell people it's not even about shouting. You wake up if you're on fire. If you speak, demons can recognize it. If you speak, sickness can recognize it. And it's not even in the service. Even in the market, things can happen. On the flight. Things can happen because when the empowerment comes, it shows, it shows you can't deny it. The first reason for power, for spirit to a fire is for empowerment. Number two spirit to a fire and gender's holiness. If you are struggling to live holy, I tell you one of the reasons you don't have fire. There are not too many reasons why people live in scene. People live in see either because they don't love God enough, or because they are selfish, or because they are not on fire. So if you find yourself struggling to leave Holy, if everything is a temptation to you, know that your fire has gone down. The moment fire comes, it imparts. You with the ability to leave Holy. When I read my Bible, sometimes I move to tears. I see the patriarchs of faith. They were tempted, they fled, some stood their ground. In our own case, we are not being tempted. We are the ones pursuing in temptation. Joseph was in forty first house. The woman threw herself at him. How was he able to stand? But we are in a generation where the ladies although they are not doing well, the guys are not doing well, but we are screaming. You see people, you carry yourself. You go and approach them, You collect their number, You talk to them. When you fall your not. Come, were crying, You say the temptation is too much? Did they throw themselves at you? You were the one who sought after them, pursued them, created or the strategy. The reason is because there's no fire. So when we are talking fire, it's not about gymnastics in the prayer orter. It's not about gymnastics in the prayer meeting. It's about the capacity to walk holy in a sinful generation. When fire comes it in gender's holiness. Malachi three, there's three inside. This shall sit as a refiners fire, and it's totally put the sons of liver and purify them as gold and silver is purified by fire, so that they can bring acceptable worship onto the Lord. So when you find people who are on fire, the second benefit is that they naturally live holy. Every time you start troubling, check your fire, something has happled, it has gone down. This is why we are talking fire here, because God wants to use the generation. But the God we are. Talking about the Bible said down all Lord, out of a pure eyes. They say, your eyes cannot behold iniquity. He cannot use a generation that is living in iniquity. This is why you have had visions talking to multitudes. Non has happled. You have seen yourself raising the dead. It has not happened because you cannot combine Sein and the spirit of God functioning at the same time. And so you need a fire to purify you so that you can do away with iniquity. Number three benefit or spirit. A fire is that produces on anything enthusiasm for God. When you find those on fire for God, they are excited about the things of this spirit. If you say let's go for a retreat, you have given them the biggest gift. Of that week. If you tell them there is a prayermity, they are overjoyed. And even when there is no corporating happening individually, they are self motivated. So you can wake up and read the bibley, not because you are going to preach. Something is telling you that is fire. You can wake up and decide to pray on your own, not because you are going out to tell anybody. I prayed for five hours. But there is an enthusiasm about the things of God. When you are free, you are looking for opportunity to go preach the gospel. You don't preach the gospel because they are mobilizing you too. The thing is pushing you. Is carrying you. There is enthusiasm anything that concerns God. The sum is said, I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of God. That's a man that is on fire for God. There is a joy that erupts you if it's about God. What is a generation where people can't serve God and they are looking for justification not to So when you talk about giving, you are not jobs who are hacking down why we should not give. When you talk about prayer, they are those hacking down why we should not pray. When you talk about fasting everything you raise, now there's a caution. Then you know that the generation is on the attack. The things the fathers did willingly, even without being taught. The Holy Goes taught them. Now they are teaching us. We can't accept it. I was asking myself who taught it well that they need that to give off me? Today? We have seen it in scripture. We are arguing whether we should or not, what or that we're not taught. They knew because there was a fountain pushing them towards God. They are teaching us. Now we can't accept it. And there you are wanting, what is happening to the generation there's no fire. If there is fire, there will be joy and enthusiasm. These things of the spirit. Romance twelves eleven said they faventing spirit serving the lords, not slough in business, faventing spirit serving the law. So when you find the man who is on fire, here's a title. This is a generation where you tell somebody pick that paper from the ground. He says, two thousand tie that knot on that draw. He come with three spanners. He said, how much. I'm not saying that are no workers, in short, that we should pay, but I am saying, if everything you do for God, you should be paid for. You are highering. And unfortunately that's what we have today. Even those who are minutes that's from the attar invite the preacher to preach. He said, where is the place at their good hotels? There? How much is there on a radio? The same gospel that people tracked to preach people who rode on camels to preach the same gospel that people went to preach, and they were slaughter. Now we give money, we put price down to preach it the Bible Small. Concerning Paul and banner Bash, he said, this be the man that has saddled their lines for the gospel. And today there is a debate online trying to justify why both pastors or pursus and music ministers should charge money before they come to minister. Because we don't have ministers, we have performers. We have performers. So a music minister cannot come to worship until he comes with ten worship backup singers. So if you are inviting a music minister, forty percent of the money for the crusade that should have been deployed for so many is for him because if it doesn't have twenty backups, he can't sing. Because, as far as it's concern, he says, studios a concept, it's not a worship. Meanwhile, the songs we sing today, some of them were sang in the desert. What is it on their voices that put anointing on them? The songs that have out lived time, some of the songs we sing today have been sang on hundred years ago. Save them to death. That's the annoying. And I'm not against having backup singers because sometimes people can mess up your atmosphere. But when you see what we do today is truly unreasonable. Why that's not enthusiasm for God. A man can't turn down a meeting because you didn't book a business class. It may tell you straight to the face, I can't come. And I'm not against honor. If they can put you on the business class, enjoy it. But if they can't put you on the business class, the gospel is more important than how you came. I'm telling you. Most of the meetings you go for that they tell you guests minister didn't come. He did come because he refused the city. How about their souls that were supposed to be won. Imagine if you go to heaven and Jesus tells you that meeting I assigned two hundred souls for you to win. You didn't come and none of them met. I'm not the evangelistya in hell. Now what will you tell Jesus they couldn't book business class for you, So two hundred people went to hell and you think you have your place in the kingdom. We are joking. We are joking. This is why we talk fire. See when fire is on your life, any where you have opportunity, you are there before the negotiation. We enter there. You are something about Jesus is drawing you? Is it Jesus? I want to represent. It's an honor to stand for him. It's a privilege to stand for him, and I will do it. Comrade, come shan a fire man. I'm not saying people should not be honored. I'm not saying the place of security should not be there. I'm not saying the press of sustaining our administration order should not be there. But I'm saying if that becomes more important than God, it means our motivation is little. This is why this generation needs fire. What did our fathers know that they tried to pre the gospel? What did they know that they rode on donkeys to prey the gospel? What did they know that they were harassed? Yet they continued that today savants of God have become superstars of gold. There's no fire. I'm telling you, That's why I tell people fires beyond sweating. When you were praying. We're talking serious business. Where's the quarter of holiness? Where's the quarta of enthusiasm for God? Where's the quarter of sacrifice and samis? These things are no more because the generation is not on fire. Forget that. You see somebody singing lyne down, rolling is drama. Most of them is drama. Ask them the conversation they had with the man of God who invited them. You will be shocked. Somebody is not on the altar. He's preaching. He needs down. He shouted, forget it. His drama, singing and rolling on the floor is drama. He has concluded what the you pay him before coming? That thing he's doing, he's responding to, JUSTI fight thirty million. He had already charged thirteen million, and he saw that if he doesn't add this drama, if money, he will justify the money he charged. I'm telling you the depth of corruption that is in the body of Christ today. Not slopped for in business, faventing spirit serving the Lord, not slopped for in business, faventing spirit serving the Lord. If you lose that motivation, you are in trouble. Because a day we come God, we reduce your rank in the kingdom that's why most of them vanished after four years, after six years. I'm telling you check most of the people that were on the scene six seven years ago. Look for how many of them are today. You know what God did. He removed the volume from their voice. Since it's money you are looking for, let me see who will invite you. It's not when they invite you, you a child. That's why most of them vanish. And they don't just vanish, even their songs vanish. Some of the songs you sang five years ago, seven years ago, you remember them. Volume has been removed because they are not servants. I'm telling you this is another generation that God wants to annoy it. You must be careful to know the things that matter. No enthusiasm for God. Number four, The benefit of fire is that it brings leadership. It gives you leadership over a generation. The moment the fire of God comes upon you, you are set apart. People who carry fire not in the multitude. It's not possible. The fire sets you apart. John five thirty five. He was a burning and a shiny light. And what did he say? They say you were willing to celebrate his light for the season. The moment fire comes upon you, leadership is conferred on you. Is the benefit of fire. That's why God sets this man on fire. You think people hear you because you speak well. The English is not to don your language. It's a borrow tongue. So we are not talking already. When men hear you, they hear you because there's a voice in the spirit saying, this is my beloved song in whom I'm well pleased. Here hear him. And what set men are parted for a generation to hear them is the fire. No body introduced bitter. The moment the fire came into your param he came out of spake, three thousand were saved. You just know that this one's ahead of your generation. So if you want to be ahead, I'm not behind. You need fire, and when it comes he shows Leadership in the Kingdom has nothing to do with gender. He has nothing to do with kin color, He has nothing to do with age. He has everything to do with character and fire. If you don't have character, you can't lead, and if you don't have fire, you can't lead. They too must work hand in hand. And so when God wants to set you apart for your generation, he introduced you to fire. Mosses ran away from Egypt, a fred of Pharaoh exa strip from best one. He went to the backside of the weirderness even hod the mountain of God, and suddenly he saw a bush bondy that was knock on room. When that encounter was over, God sent him back. When Aeron met him, he knew he was his leader. There's no argument. He knew. He came back to the elder that's of Israel. Then you, he went to Pharaoh. Then you. Fire makes you a leader. You don't want to remain in the crowd. Then you must be set on fire. That's why this conference was put together. Something must come upon your life to set you apart. Number five. Benefit of spiritu a fire. It impacts bordness and audacity. When you come under fire, you are not careful about one man think. You're only careful about what God says. When you find a people with sufficient boldness to confront the challenges of their generation, something is burning in them. You don't talk because you are motivated. You talk because we're fired. He put the bordness in you that you can confront. Paul said, if after the manner of men he say, I fought the beast of ephisols. You see mountains edge long mountains, and you're confronted with a fear. If I perish, I perish. That's not a conversation for a medio car. Only those who carry fire are able to do so. And can I tell you something, If you challenge the mountain, you stand on no platform. Everybody you see elevator there to the mountain. That's why God, God cannot rest until you are set on fire. What is it about your generation that you are confronting? Where are the mountain movers? Where are those who confront lions and don't go back? We are those who confront go liars and don't go back. We are in a generation we are Bodness in the spirit is being depleted because most of what we are doing is artificial build of momentum. Spiritual audacity is different from psychological conditioning. I'm not talking this thing that people gather. Gather you tell them stand like this, time like this before you come out. That's not fire. I know. Say that is a lot. You see some people, they don't smile, they don't love. Where you see that are you doing? They are trying to condition you. That's psychology, say. Demons don't respond to data. That's why after they make you feel their menos pat If they confront demons, you see that they're weak. If they confront chan, then you to see that a week because the spirit, Paul said, accordiners, it is written, they said, they believe, and as spoke, we have been the same spirit of faith. We believe and therefore we speel. So what moves from you is not in your brains, in your spirit wall challenges come. If you're on fire, God lice is torn your inside. So the one talking it's not to you is the spirit on your inside. When you leave that atmosphere, you'll be shocked that you'll be at the lamp. But fire is the protocol for transitting the lamb to a lion, and that protocol can be as swift as possible. This is why you need it, so that the bordness and audacity required to fight for. Your generation you will have it. And asked for thirteen There somemon Peter and his colleagues. They thought they were fishermen. After Peter stood up and spoke, the Bible said, when they saw the budness of Peter, they knew that these guys have been with the law. Fisher Men don't talk like this. They were not afraid of dying. George, for yourselves, if it is better to fear man of your goal. We cannot speak of what we have seen our head. Who talks to the san hendry like that? Only those who on fire? Do you remember? In John chapter nine, the man whose song was healed? They caught him and said, are you claiming that your song was healed? Was it inly blind? The guy who do speak, he said, he is of age. Call him let an answer for himself. And the Bible added that he was afraid because he would be expelled from the synagogue. So people who don't have fire, when they confront the Pharisees, they bring diplomacy. But a man of fire should up. He said, George, for yourselves, whether we should fear you of your gold. In case you made the mistake of thinking we will fear you, we will not. Where were declare what we have seen and heard? That level of audacity only fire produces it. You think when the three Hebrew boys child met the king, you think that's a press for Bible study. How dare you stand before the image that are built. They say, oh, King, we are not careful to answer you in this matter. If it is this one, we will not bow. If you like, make the fire seven times hotter. And the king told them I will. It's not a bluff. And when they carried them towards the fire, there was no record that they begged. They threw them into the fire. They went in prison. God, I'm telling you say, there is a level for that city that comes on you, that even if the mouth of the lion is open, you are declaring the counsel of God. Even if you have to lose your job, you'll stand your ground. Why do you think we have compromised. There are few who have fire, and so when they see the vengeance of Pharaoh, they compromise. But I tell you from Canu here tonight, a generation we rise that were born with the funness of fire. Number six benefit of fire constant power generation. When you carry fire, you generate, You become a warehouse of power. Because all the activities are predominantly spiritual activities. All the activities. Men of fire are generators of power. That's why they wake up. They carry power, they sleep with power, and even they die, they will go with the residue of it. When Eli and Lasha died, a dead man rose. The dead man from the grave because he didn't die like every other person, he transitted to glory. Resitue of power was there. They brought a dead man who was not exercising faith, yet there was so much left on him, and the guy came up. So even when we are sleeping, we are naked wires. That's why why you find men who carry fire. Demons know them. They don't fly fast where they are sleeping. Have you not heard of men who are sleeping and beds fell and died in their houses? You you pass there on you on your own. There is radar, sufficient rada. When so, when King Saul came to arrest somewhere, did they tell you they were praying? It definitely came in the night, because the Bibles say he prophesiedy money that is slipping when he thought they were praying, we're sleepy, and they were sleeping, But there was a reader. The momentary entered naioti rama. They got something hitting. He taught his government and began to profess high. Those who carry fire are generators of power, the Bible said in James five sixteen. The effectual favent prayer. It's not just prayer, it's a favant. And when I tell you what fire is, we add fabancy to it, because fire is intensity. The effectual favent prayer of a righteous man. The Bible say it avel much and they may care. Tremendous power available. And it's not just prayer. Even their worship, even they are firsty if un they're. Singing everything they do generous power because they are operating from a depth of intimacy. The reason Sata is using many Christians like labrat is because they don't have fire. They want to just work tomorrow is like on the forehead. That's with a Christian and then he works up with it tom Even doctors are wanting which one is this? So you have become like a demonic studio all laboratory. Any weapon they carry from Ceta or from her, they say. Away are our labrat. It will not be you. The guy works up hand this like this, even the doctor says, which one is this? Demons are doing experiments. Mean why Jesus said these signs? Follow them that believe in my name? Shut They cast out devils, the spirits that you should be dealing with and the one's dealing with you because there's no power. See Jesus, the Bible said in Markwana the fire early in the morning, he went to a solitary place, Dear, he prayed. When it descends from there, he doesn't need to talk touching. Virtually leave him. Even when he was not aware, the woman with the issue of block touched him, the Bible said, virtually left him and he So this is not trying to exercise fate. This is carrying more than enough energy so that those who taught you from the back to receive something. Say, there's a level of fire you carry. You come to a place, you sit down and leave. Somebody has CITs here and having coun down and then they are wondering, what is going on? Here is fire? They're sitting in the boss with you. They started receiving favor. Dere what cause them safit to your hand touched them, say that's. What we carry. And if you carry the point comes when a pattern is rep replicated. It was thought concerning Dear Moody, anywhere he comes to people are slain, not that they annointed, whether he's preaching or not. A day came they became aware. So a story was told that he was traveling on the train and the train stopped somewhere in America and people were slain. I understand what is going on here? And the man said, this kind of thing only happened when their mood is around. A part. Time is viewed so much so that when they hear that you are around, people rush. He may not have time to see us. But what did he eat? Where did this eat? Let's touch what he touched? Did you not read about Peter in ask five pint fifteen? They knew he had finished from the tempole. He was not attending to anybody. They said, well, let his shadow touch us. And shadow was healing the sick four two hand kerchief. Handkerchief was casting our devils. Does handkerchief no demonology? Meanwhile, we have dimonology, gemonology one, dimonology two, dimonology three, dimonology four. But we still can't cast demos because there is theology. There is no power. This is why you can't leave this meeting onto you two becomes a carry of power. Sometimes we know too much. Even what we know a body, there's no manifestation, So we are like a fire choked with wood, but there's no flame. I'm telling you why you must contend for fire. If you want to operate in power, you need it. Oh my God, may you not entire manifestation with her power. I'm telling you every platform would be a disgrace. I'm telling you as those who struggle to manifest God, promotion is a risk. Promotion becomes a risk. I came from Zimbabwe four days a goosa STANDI unpacked. People came to see God. When I finished preaching, they were watching. This is a powerful message. What next? I now prayed for the sick. Two more left people He has opened I saw, but they didn't see something notable enough. The cloud was watching mean I told, I said, is there nobody here with croaches? And before I knew what was happening, somebody was coming with two croches when I ton't. If you don't have fire, your hat, your heart will come out of your mouth. You'll be regret why you asked? The guy came to me. When I looked at him, I didn't pray. I said, give me one. He gave me. I said walk. He started limping. The moment is started. The crowd the erupted. They are tired of messages. You go to the internet, all you see, I've got a pursus of this generation is message. Then go back twenty years, thy years and check a check over the robots, check person in the hotel. Message and demonstration, Paul said, when I came on to you, I did not come with excellency your street. They carried on to you the council of God. I can in the demonstration of this eat it and power. So that is the wakness of doctrine. There's a witness of character. And there is the. Weakness of power. When I collected the second cross from the guy and it started walking, we're going to contain the service anymore. They have erupted. That means people are the funk. They want to see God. You think when Pharaoh asks Mos, this worst your God? He's looking for a plan. National the moment is said, who is your God? That I worship him most? Is dropped his staff. I know you have gone to a lot of training. What you are looking for is power. You don't have fire. You'll be powerless and your manifestation will become an embarrassment. Ask those who trouble here, they will tell you. They invite you to many meetings. When you enter, you know that if your God doesn't show up, you can't live here. While you are done preaching that they start bringing the sick. In case you say you don't see them, look at them. They came here. If you live there, you we know that you can't come back the next day. You have no message to preach, and unfortunately we are not pursuing after reality. This is why this generation, if God doesn't here, we are defeated. Before we start, sweet talkers bring demons for people to cast out. You start hearing stories, bring the sick. You hear stories, But in the days of the fathers, when they come, they begin with sick people. You think, sah, what you say. Did you remember the first video I sent to you? Thank God for all the wisdom you teach. I saw you tell somebody stand off from a witch heir. I saw it. I say, this is it. I copied it and sent back to you. That was your first message I sent to you. People did know you much then, but when I saw power, I knew our generation. This is what we are looking for. Thank God, God has blessed us with wisdom, but we need power. This meeting we have here if the face of Pastor Chris was on the bboard or doctor point Nature was there. You will see crotches and witchiest land up here. That means that I see people in cannon, but they know we are to go to. See. That's why when I come to places like this, thank God for what God is doing. No, but there's more. We have established ourselves. It's with some we need to be establishing power. And this is why we are still crying for fire, because when fire come, you generate power. Look at our poster over four posters on it. How many people did they bring up the bed here? How many witchiers are outside? We need to wake up. Don't keep parttying yourself and say you're all right. We have not started. We have not started. This is why we we pray here tonight too. The Bible said women received they are dead, back to life. Women they received their death. So we are not talking tight to here. We are talking mantles. A point came in my life I say Lord, thank you for people falling down. But this is not all there is. People Michael Jackson's concert, people fell down. I'm just going on here. Every day we have power. People are falling everywhere. We are the blind eyes. We are the death ears, we are the hippos. I'm telling you this to challenge you, because even all of you who came here, you became ministers, it's not enough. The walk is much so I'm not seeing you as people coming to receive. I'm saying you as ministers come in to be empowered to take a witness with generation. These are the things we discuss when we sit down, but the time has come to take it to the public. These are the things of our heart cried for. I tell people we are non lecture us. We are witnesses. We have witnesses, and this thing, if not impossible, is there. We have seen a measure of it. But there's yet more. There's yet more. I've seen a. Post of five minutes of us cast somebody out of which it. But there is more. I was with sweet I think that was in Bouti, Jigawa. A gear of seven years death here pop up and completely death. I'm not saying God, it's not doing anything, But there's more. I've seen a person la collect crotches. But that's more. If we tap ourselves now we have not started. It means we don't even know where we are going. This is why you need sufficient power fire so that you can keep generating power. It said they touched him, virtually left him. So these people, when you taught them it's not sweat to encounter. You think poor carried handkerchief into. A sweat that was on it. How many demons care? What's sweat is on your handkerchief? Something of God was deposited there. I came to trouble you. I came to provoke you. Certain is having a few days in our family. They are doing experiments. Nobody can stand up and say enough is enough? How come death is rampaging, ravaging everywhere. I came to tell you if we don't rise Certain with celebrative when we are present, but if it didn't happen with our fathers, it will not happen with us. Men that can stop Saturn will emerge from this meeting. Please sit down. Benefits of fire, Why you need fire? Number seven? Fire confess on. You the capacity for impact. If you don't have fire, you will create impressions, not impact, and impressions are deceptive. They will bring you to a point in your life then you will crash. You make people feel you can cast out demos until they bring demos. You make people feel you can heal the sick, until they bring the sick. You make people feel you can change the constances until they bring circumstances. We must move from making impression to making impact. But the key to making impact is fire. I'm telling you you must crave for these things. In Matthew five to ten to sixteen, they say you are the light of the world, a city set upon the heat that cannot be hid. They say you are the sort of the earth. So we are supposed to make tangible, verifiable impact, and we are not supposed to make impact in our family the least capacity. It says a city, you are a city set uponly here. That means if you are doing in part in your family, that is rehears us. If you are doing impact among your friends, that. Is rehears us. You are supposed to make impact at the skin of a city. This is why I tell people it's an error to come to church and say there are two hundred people. We don't count members in church. We count systems, constituencies, and cities, because when you come, every one of us is supposed to represent something in their first only church. When you enter individuals where cities. It's a Philip went to Samaria. He preached Christ there and took the city. So if a Philip is citty in your congregation, is that a man that's a city. That's why when they scattered, they took the world. And so God has put in us the capacity to impact the minimum a city. But if you are not on fire, trust me evenly. Your family set and will match you there. And that's why the Bible calls it an abomination. He said, those who should ride on horses are tracking. Why those sus should track are riding on horses. So you come around your entire family. Five people who should be five cities are struggling in one room trying to survive. And then the angels can comprehend it. These men are supposed to be nations. This man are supposed to be city. What is going on the problem is that no body is on fire. When fire comes, the capacities enlarged immediately. Peter stood spoke three thousand, the next time, five thousand the next time. The s a great company of the priest. That's what we're talking about. That's why when you are on fire, you need to. Know the parameters to look at. Don't cut yourself, congratu let yourself that you are on fire because you are praying in a certain way. Your post choice not an indication of fire. Go and read the Bible. I will show you what the Bible costs fire. There is an intensity you enter that will affect your post. There are times when I pray, I stand like a machine gun. I'm telling you. If you enter my room, you will see it. For any things i'm praying, I take a post like a warrior, I'm telling and I can stand there for an hour. There are times when I'm praying, I become like a child. You see me doing as if I'm this swing rope. I see if that's what. I'm doing, and I'm just there. There are times when I'm praying, I wake up. I see myself on that this too, like this, I'm on. I don't know what took me there, but I've entered the ram that I need to squeeze to enter. That's not a commendation for two so that the ram rely ships me for me to enter. I squeeze in until I'm there, and I can be there for one hour. But I don't start praying every day and do like that because it's not drama, it's a jolly. So I know the posture is a transit posture, a transit channel, a transit protocol. But what I'm looking for is different from that. I'm looking for fire, and that fire manifest as power, in manifest as impact. See, there are times when you finish praying, suddenly as you'll come out, people are calling from everywhere. God told me to give you this. The flame began to encounter people. I'm telling you most of my blessings came to me when I came out of my prayer room. Somebody casts you and gives you a gift that you wouldn't have gotten in a month. You don't know what's walk to him. Sometimes it's even after praying at midnight three am, your firm beeps, you see an alert and you are wandering, who is this that's not sleeping. I'm telling you I'm talking in part here. Sometimes as you come out of there, a door opens. When you enter there, you'll be shocked, how did my name come here? Who brought me here? Who knew me here? The thing causes the wave of this siririt to stress, and you can go for one meeting you win four thousand souls, and then you are wandering how many crews, said would have organized to win this? So fire, that's in part. That's why the Bible said in John five thirty five, he was a burning and a shiny light, and they said, all of you, the whole city came under that light. When fire hit Jesus, he. Said, his fame went abroad. There are many people. Instead of a building fire, they are building human connection. They are calling everybody every day, so that when they have a me, they remember them. No body will remember you. Joseph did it. They landed. They had the way. If you go to the king, tell him about me. The guy forgot until the man faced is God back, And when there was no hope, that was when fire troubled the man. I'm telling you how this ram works. You want to make impact, you must keep the fire upon him. No fire, no impact. Number eight divine guideance. Those who are on fire, they are connected to God to four several. They don't make mistakes. There is a level of precision your life enters. If you will be shocked. The Bible said, your word is a lamp onto my feet and a light onto my pat Some one one nine, Verse one O five. The moment fire comes, it brings illumination to your path, and then finally joy and fulfillment. Fire instars joy and for full made. There are many people today who are not satisfied with anything. In fact, they are so so depleted that they are looking for people to validate them so that they can have the sense of a human, so they can slave in the private, so that they can deceive public validation. You are not caught to be like that. You are a prince. Don't bear to be accepted, don't bear to be honored, don't bear to be validated. There is something that comes upon your life. Your generation will recognize it, some by gifts to give to people before their conference or before their bed day, so that when they came, they'll speak about them in the public. You are not in luck. God values you much more. Jesus died for you. Don't beg for public validation, and auntie men speak well of themth they are not for you. Some of us have learned that so long as God speaks well of me, everybody can say what they want. There are seasons of my life where everywhere your term that's attacked from everywhere and those who think they love me, we come and say they are saying this. They are saying that, and I look at them and love they are saying it because they are not important. Those who important, I know where I'm going. That's their focus. And can I tell you. Those who are talking against you are not half as many as those who God have sent you to. So don't worry about the ten fifteen people who don't have work who are painting you black in the public. There are ten million people you are impacted. God. They can move because two people, three people who have not gotten direction in life, sat on the comment book like gaze and wrote something. Every week. I impact millions. It's too important for me to consider that person who has no importance. I've never seen those who are relevant on comment books. I don't know if you've seen one. How many relevant people have you seen in the comment book trying to count or something? He's those who don't have work. Auga. On Sunday, I was in Zimbabwe. I returned to Nigeria to preach in church on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, I wasn't worried. There'sday portacle today Friday. I mean canoe next week Tuesday, I'm on my way to Ghana. You think I have time to sit on a command book? So hear what somebody said. I'm too busy for that. Too much. Impart will let you and so what God says. It's the only thing that brings you for female. But if I'm not on fire, you will notice talk about me. And see if I notice, I meet some people, I shake them, walk there and they whisper to me. He's the one who said that way I say it's not important. If it's important, he will have a table a place to talk to me. If you himself knows he has no place. That's why he went behind. I'm telling you, sir, those who are relevant we call you. Let's see, and when you sit down there will raise the matters. You will hair on it out. So people will need you to eat, so they open a blog on your head. You are seeding them. Leave them. If the thing they are important, they should say something and put their picture. Let's see how many people we hear they're not they're not important. That's why they need to put my picture and what I said for people to hear them. So I'm putting them in directly. That's why whatever they say can move me. I'm only moved by what God said or what my mentors say, because if you can't do what I'm doing, you can't speak to me. So my mentors have their right to speak to me. They are doing more than I'm doing, and I know they love me, so they are not talking from bitterness. And God is the one I'm working for. He has the right to talk to me. So if you're not an elder making more impact than me, or you are not God. If you like talk from money to night, you have no the demands you know most of you have. Not caught fire. That's why everything moves you. This one talks, This one talks. You go and lie down your room. Lord. Here what they are saying and God? They say, who is talking? How did you here? How did you here? You have not heard what God is saying. It's what somebody has is saying. You heard. You are not on fire? The sun? This was so much on fire, he said wals As the lost Wackle tries, I had that power belongs to God. Do you think that kind of person can hear gossip? You heard them because you stop heeting God. He fire your lunch turner ress on, well, rise from canoe and sometimes so I will make in those comments as secondries goes students who do I even know what is happening? They're still because they have better. And then you you are crying. That one said I'm weaked, That one said, I'm proud. That was do you have you? Are you okay? You do? I don know who is talking? Who is he? He? Don't they have their name? If I ask you what's his name, you can't remember, but you are crying over him? Come on brother, hello him, dona hello him, don't. Hello him? I don't know. Hello, hello him? Don't know? Halloh halloh hallo, Hello. Honey, Holly, Holly, yeah, alleena, hey. Yah hollen. You you. Pos you. You know. You sensios you are mid me? Do you sensizellos? You a? I me on by? Then they then thank God, oh hey, hey, hey, hey my by by by by. Oh oh. Hear me. Some of you will leave this busy. You will become the reference point of your territory. Please hear this. God, we give you grace because I well fight you. What I'm telling you, the mother the enemies, the bigger you become, you will become the reference point of your territory. Sit down for a moment. I'm the so, but let me show you some more facts. Attorney here, return fifteen minutes and go now the are this. I have listed the benefits of spirit of five. Number one. I said it's empowerment for service. Number two. I said it's empowerment for holy living. Number three. I said it's enthusiasm for gold. Number four. I said it is grace for leadership and dominion. No Your generation. Number five. I said it's potners and audacity in the spirit. Number six. I said it constant power. Generation number seven. I said this constant impact making. Number eight. I said divine guideance. Number nine. I said it's a life of joy and fulfillment. It's in that presence sixteen elevel. It's full of God and not the writer pleasures forever more. Now, let me tell you what is spiritual fire biblically speaking, so that you know what to build and what to sustain, because I will show you in five minutes what spiritual fire is, and then I'll. Show you in five minutes how to sustain it. Because the key emphasis of the nice meeting is to keep that fire from punching. Number one spiritual fire is the tangible presence of God. A man who carries fire carries the tangible presence of God. The Bible said in Deuteronomy four twenty four. He said, for the Lord by God is a consuming fire. Who carries God's presence carries gost fire, because his presence comes with fire. That's why in Exodus three, from verse one to five, when Moses entered the presence of God, he saw the angel of his presence, and he appeared in the similitude of a bush bonning that was not consumed. You have got fire. You carry God's presence. When the Holy goos filled the upper room Acts two, verse four, the Bible said in vest three, the clothing tongues as so fire appeared on their heads. When the Dey of Pentagons was fully comed. From verse one, they were together and wan a call. Suddenly they heard the sound as. Of a rushing mighty wind, and there appeared upon their heads clothing tongues are so fire. And the place where they were was feled with the spirit. So if you find somebody who carries God's fire, when he shows up, you will interact with God's presence. And God's presence is not a feeling. God's presence is a government. It's a power that causes everything to align to God. That's why in his presence transformation takes place. So when you meet a man who carries fire, there is an activation of the protocol of transformation. You can come to a place and dance. God presence will not be there. If it is God's presence, it will judge everything that is not of God, and it will cause everything to align to God. So those who carry fire. That's why they are called revivalists because everywhere they come, they activate God's government. You will find people repenting, people. Tolling to the Lord. That's the fire of God. And that's why you yourself can carry fire and not be aligned to God. So the first thing about spirit to a fire is the carriage of the presence of God. Number two, spiritual fire is the empowerment of the Holy Ghost. When you find a man who is on fire, you can see the articles of divine empowerment. Acts one, verse eight thirty. Until you I endured with power from on high Acts two, verse one to four. The power came in the likeness of fire. Acts two, sixteen seventeen. Pitter preached Acts two thirty seven. Their hearts were pricked at two forty one. Three thousand was one Acts one verse four. Five thousand was one Acts six, verse seven. A great company of the priest became obedient to defaith, that is fire in Acts six, verse one to three. They became a multitude that cannot be numbered. So when you find people who present and produce the supernatural with ease, the on fire. It takes fire for the supernatural to manifest. Anyware people struggle with the supernatural. Fire is not there. When fire come the supernatural with manifest. That's why we call it the empowerment of the spirit and say you will receive power. But the power came in from a fire. What did poor tell Timothy second Timotive one, verse six, This charge give IDs son Timothy, that you're fan to flame? What the gift of God that is in you? So the article of fire is the empowerment of the spirit. When a man walks in the supernatural with ease, he carries the fire of God. Number three. What is spiritual fire is zee passion and intensity for God. Romance too in level, not slot through in business, savent in spirit serving the Lord John two seventeen Jesus said, the zeal of my father's house have consumed me. When you find people doing spirituarteen sluggish, there's no fire. When you are on fire, shows your prayer is not only in fact to his fathers. You're so winning, it's aggressive, you're giving. It's with passion. If you have to be motivated to do spirituat in fire has gone, don't add drama. Go and find out how to work. Crea can do it. Because your scorshit is not with men, is with God. That's why you most be careful that what you are doing is genuine. When you were on fire, you could combat from service, turn peer, sit down and read the whole book of the New Testament. Now for one week, you're struggling with one chapter. Something has gone wrong. There's no ze. When you were on fire, you never missed evangelisy. They are going out, you are there. You never miss vig. Now they're going for vig. You're having headache. Something has gone wrong. Everybody who is on fire burns with intensity, and anything you see him doing for he does it with passion. From praying to starting, to giving, to reading to so winning. There is a face and books it. That's what we call fire. And this is not him trying to impress people. Even when he said, look, he does it that way. I'm not talking there, Fara citizen. Where you only pray fervently when you are the one leading. They said, let's pray. You are the backstrody. The moment they gave you, Mike, that one is drama. That is drama. You are doing it because you're on stage. That's not fire. I learned something early in life. They say you are at your best when you are alone. They say your originality is your greatest value. If you do it because of men, you can't receive the owner of God. I'm telling you what fire is. He says, ted that you are zome when people bump into you by chance. The same intensity with which you do it in public is how you are doing it in private. That's what they call fire. I had been supported for many years ago, so he said, I have never doosed in God's presence. I said, Lord help me. I thought I was on fire. What kind of passion is this? I have never dosed in God's presence? And when I checked, I have slept too many times. I said, what is this? It's caught fire? And I gathered myself. I said, Lord Grace, Lord Grace. So nowadays, when I want to sleep, I say, you are on fire. Let go go, Baroka. You can't telling you it's not a Mechanicalthino. Forget that we are laughing about it. If it's there, it's there. I remember many years ago. So the first time I encountered the fire of God. When I'm at home, I'm offriended because my sisters are watching movies or movies or for movies. You can't stay in the parlor, and the house is not big. They moved from one ball Wood movie to another Holywood movie. They enter seas in a movie. Two weeks they're watching. So my greatest choice when they take light and we didn't have money for generator. So in that dark room in the parlor, Maria Cayer, I can't. I will read the Bible one and be copying it. There was so much intensity. I'm reading and copying. I have books, books, I'll carry the Gospel of John. I'm reading and writing. I said, let me write the one that bless me. When I finished, I wrote. The whole chapter. I entered another chapter. I'm writing, and you are not tired. But when fire begins to go down. Even when you are praying, your knees start heaving. You you know something is wrong. See it for God. Number four, what is spiritual power? Fire is purity. Don't tell me you're on fire because you pray loud and you live in master beshol you don't know what fire is. When fire come, the. Oppression is realistic. It will not only empower you to manifest. Don't tell me you can open death ears when you are living in unication. That's not fire. That's ability to master a gift. You can master how a gift work. It doesn't mean you're on fire. There are those who prophesied today. They know if they go and pray for three hours, their eyes will, so they pray every time they preach. They don't pray for living. They are not on fire. So that they prophesied doesn't mean they on fire. That they rest their dead here the sick does not mean they on fire. For you to say you're on fire, yes, there must be empowerment to both prophesies and heal the sick. They must be zee for God, and them must be purity. When a man is on fire, he hates inipity, he said, because thou love has righteousness and hate that inipity. He said that God that's annointed you with the h above the fellows. That's why Malachi Drive said he will purify them as gold and seaver s verified. No bodies on fire and cohabits with inipiity. Fire is intolerant towards seeing. This is not you trying to exercise discipline. This is something ragingly you that hites in when it becomes discipline, not that your treasure has gone down. Don't live at the level of discipline for long. You will fall sept And he says, killful fighter. He knows what's to do to kill your discipline. When you come to discipline, that's the lowest tresshold quickly bounce back. That's why I will show you how to contact and retain fire, because it's a risk to do. Spiritu a thing is based on discipline. Discipline is very important. It's a good virtue and character of the spirit. But beyond discipline, there was the flame burning inside you. Imagine if you were to eat food with it by discipline, can you eat definitely there for ten years by discipline. So in addition to discipline, God put the hunger. There the home guysan alarm. If you don't eat, you can't rest. That's how fire walks when fire comes. If you don't do what God wants, you can't rest. If when you go to sleep, you'll be rolling until you do it. I'm telling you I know this, Sir. When God's not that teaching me, give me. I look that God at the fire came, give ten Ira. I said, ten Ira, how how much do I have for a week? If I'm going to class, I remove the truser? We have money is put it somewhere. We are not the one. When I come to touch, I said, ah ah, I wish I didn't change this truser. Lord. Next week, I was badly ten narra. God moved to twenty narrow. I was badly twenty nine. God moved to hundred and ira until one day fire came. When fire came, Sir, I go to church. I've been to church before. I put my shoe, drop my phone, drop my watch, and take my pocket. I was tracking home barefooted with joy. I know the difference. Hey brother used to come to call me to pray. Who went in the school in school? Then five thirty am he shows up and knocks, nobody opens. If we open the door, go to my bed. Brother. You know when they call you brother, you will be weak. Brother, mike ah. And you know on campus sometimes we used to be fifteen in one room. Those who went to Union Creek recording, they know fifteen. So the way we do it is if one set is going to pray, another set is worth it. When the sun once are coming from class, the next one we go. So you pray, you read in the night, you'll come back to sleep. Every hours of the morning. That's when the trees are blowing. That's the best time to sleep. And we hear brother. So what Ann did was that I maintained you are asleep. But when I come back, the moment is early money. I'll move to another bunk and cover my head. So he will come to the room and sat. He won't find brother. But when fire I came. When fire I came, we were there was mobilizing people to go and pray. Certainly sleep was no more important. You will not know where the sleep went to. Something has sit you. I'm telling you it's stronger than discipline. This is why you must fight to keep your fire. Otherwise the cares of life we chok it. Purity? Is it I'm in the kettle that a man is on fire? For cover number five. When you're on fire, there's passion for so winning those days everybody we looked at what was say? So you look at my phone, you see your card? That Matt your CARDA done? Your card? You can't carry me for ten minutes. I don't prey to you. What am I saying? I will ask you? Do you know where if this world ends today? Do you know where you are going? Have you heard of Jesus? I'll just started off and start talking. It may not make sense, but when you finish their crime, they don't know what they had. You don't know what you said, but there was a transfer fire. They don't motivate you to win soles. Fire tries you. When Jesus came under the influence of the speedy, immediately started winning souls from senagore to village to city. The Bible said he went to every village and every city. Do you know how many village you can? How many of you have gone to Warzo before you spent all your life and sat gave you say you're on fire? When the fire hit the apostles he said, from Jerusalem to Jodia, to Samaria, to the Altemus part of the world. You can't tell me you're on fire. You are not the so we're thinking fire is drama in George, no holiness, no manifestation of power, no seed for so willing, and we say we're on fire. Those are not reality to a fire if you touch the fire of God. These are the biblical indicators. Number one, you must be empowered. Number two, you must have seed and intensity. Number three you must have purity. Number four you must be dogged about so winning. And then finally your giftings will become clear. Everybody will know what you have. Poor say hence, for no we know man after the flesh. This commandment give id my son Timothy second Timol one six, that you fan to flame the gift of God in you. Where you are on fire, will we know what you have. If we are still confused as to which one is your dimension, it mean you have not entered way. If you're enter, we can tell that wisdom. Rests with you. If you're enter, we can tell that you cast out devils. If you're enter, we can tell that you if it's cancer is done. No, we know man after the flesh. I'm telling you this is what the Bible recognizes as fire. There's empowerment, there is zeal for God, there is there is there is ability to walk in holiness. There is passion for so willed. I'm telling you here, if we take a census here, how many people have won twenty souls? You'll be shocked. In this auditorium, you'll be shocked. But we have gone to five conferences this year looking for fire. If I tell you how many people have won one hundred souls this is November. Some people will be like, ah, is it possible? A man evangelist and they said on fire. That fire is not of God. If I ask here now, if you have not committed capital sings, I'm not looking every day erros. I'm talking scenes that you have to exert your will at strategy to commit. You know, there are some scenes that are difficult to commit, like going to steal somebody's property. You would have exacted your will and deplored your intelligence. Like fornication. Why Jesus has raised the bar if you look at the woman lost wing, so you can won't do funication. But let's says if you ask how many people have not this year, some people who think it's impossible. And then they come and say all of us are syners. Not all of us are, say us because heavy holy as you're heavily for that is only I'm not saying I'm perfect. But some of us are fighting. Say some of us have not relaxed for sin to carry us because there's no fire. So you want to know what's plity a fire is. It's empowerment, the supernatural and most issue out of you. It's seal and passion for God. When you do the things of God, you can be motivated to do it. There's something to buying inside you that powers you. Its purity and holiness, saying can't throw you down every day. It's passion for so winning. You can't live there without winning somebody to Jesus. You're love him too much not to speak about him, and then his ability to opplat in the gift that is on your life. This is what Bible calls fire, and there are biblical justifications to it. And I've got her there. Now, how do you sustain fire as a round them? Because the fire comes on you when you give your heart to Christ. That's why all of us here. The week we repented, we were born in like flame. They say, prayer, we are there, they said, discipleship, we trek there. They said, so winning. We are telling everybody. But after one month, two months, those desires have gone some of you. Where you give your heart to Christ, you're deleted. The number of your boyfriend. You went to him and told him, please, you want to take me to her. I don't want to see you again. The person was heavy, but you couldn't sustain it for one month. I tell you why. Fire is contacted at salvation, but there is a protocol for returning it. In Matthew three level, he say, I baptize you with water onto repentance. He said, boy here that commeat after me is mightier than I. Hey, we baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire Matthew three elevel. So you contact fire at new bed, but you see to sustain fire or to re kin to fire, that's a protocol. I'll give you five of them now, so that you know when genuine fire is burning in your life. Number one, how do you rekindle fire? After you have been born again? You have received the baptism of the Holygos. The fire is there. How do you sustain it? Or maybe you lost it? How do you recindo it? That is a way. Number one is through encounters with the Rema world. The reason you came for this conference. It's not because of all the message I'm preaching here. You may not need ninety percent of what I'm saying, but you are looking for one word that we ignite you. This is why we listen to messages. We are tend five meters hoping that the remember world will come. That is the word that rekindles fire. And if you're on fire, it is the continuous feeding on such walls that keeps the fire burning. Fire is not a motion is borne by the rema ward. Look at what the Bible said Jeremiah twenty three, verse twenty nine. He said, it's not my word. Like fire, they cless the Lord. So the rema ward is a flame. And Isaiah said Jeremiah now twenty vers nine, he said, I did not want to talk about it. He said, but that word was shot up like fire in my bones. So when the rema ward, that is fire, hits you, it keeps burning on your inside. So those who are genuinely on fire, they don't ride on emotion. They ride on the revelations that are in their spirit. If your fire is emotion, it will quench even when there's not attack. But so long as it's a word burning in your spirit, it will drive you to eternity. I'm telling you many people say they're on fire, but there's no word pushing them. When you ask the fathers of Oh every face of their lives, they will tell you what God told them. That's why after thirty years they're still bonny, because that word can't quench when God Speaks's word saitana, so it burns eternal. If you are looking for fire, look for wars. You can meditate, you can listen to an exortation. You can such it in the book, but look for it as that. At the four sixteen, he said, Sachy out of the book of the Law and read. So there's a difference between reading and saching. Why you are reading, you are saching for the emma. And sometimes you will read for two hours. One verse will hit you and it will change your life. Many years ago, I was going down in intensity and I was listening to be show debuty with Echo, and he said, is sire that the three verse six wisdom and knowledge shall beat the stability of the times. Wow, the thing hit me from nowhere. There was a passion to such God. I went, I hit the library, started needing and eating like a vampire, just because that was the way that not leg hits me. It was the rema world time. People may hear that message. He may not bless them, but one word came for me. That's what happened to Joseph. You s on the time that is working. So everybody who is on fire, it's on a constant such for word. So even when you are praying, you are not distracting yourself. You want to hear what he has to say, because prayer does not end with you talking to God. Player prayers completed when God talks to you. But unfortunately most of us are distracted on the altar because somebody is looking at you. You want them to know that you don't get tired for five hours. So the reason you are tracking like this is because your your whole attention is on that person. He must see me work for five hours or God. If your knees penning, you sit down somewhere so that I concentrate on God. You don't win trophies by checking for five hours focus, he said, Jeremiah touches three vest ask of me. We answer, and then I will show you. I will show you everybody that received from his ram caught fire. But we are in generation that are not receiving the ram award. Even when we are reading, we are not focused. The guys reading and checking what's up? He is two versts. He responds to three messages. There's no connect for the word to come, and the word of God comes. The word comes, It comes to. You when you are breaking frequency can come. He is worshiping and watching a movie. So there's no connection. If you know that Ramma brings fire, then you shut up every destruction. That's why when the fathers prayed, they close your eyes. It's not the Lord that you close your eye, but they know that the why have focus to receive what's coming from heaven. But today we are praying and looking at the camera man when he's turning in all direction. Yeah yeah, yeah? Are you a hunter? Are you a farmer? If God was doing that with you, continue, But if it is the camera. You are out of the prayer room. The Ramma and trust me, when one world comes, Oh, one world one World one world can change your life forever. One word can change your life. When God servants spoke about and a casul. Most of you have heard it before, but there was a way. Kid. When it comes at your frequency, it can change your life. Anybody you see on fire has caught wars in this spirit the Ramma world. It's what produces fire. Number two, what puts fire on a man and what keeps that fire up? He said. Disposition of sacrifice. Selfish people can be on fire for long because the fire necessitates that you keep giving out. That's why God is sensitive to set this fire only on the sacrifice Levity cost nine twenty two to twenty four. When the sacrifice hit the attar, the fire must appear. And so the Bible tells us to present our bodies as living sacrifices. So anybody who will sustained fire most avid, disposition of sacrifice the dare you become self centered? Your fire begins to die. I'm telling you these things. I'm showing you the eternal truths, the Bible said in Levity Cost six twelve. The fire on the autumn must not be put out, he said. The priest was put wood on it. Every morning. That's the remmaward, and the Bible said when they offering hit the attar, the fire consumed it. Levity cost nine twenty two to twenty four. So fire respond to the Ramma ward and the response to the sacrifice. We are looking for fire, but we are not willing to be sacrificial. Even those looking for an annointing is so that they can prove a point to somebody. Also that their family can become better God. That's an agenda and no selfish man can provide. So if it's caused fire you are looking for, you must sustain the disposition of sacrifice. Number three, how do you receive and sustain fire is by fanning to flame they measure you have because fire is designed to diminish if it is not sustained. That's why it said the priests must put wood every morning left six twelve thirte So a fire not sustained is the fire that will go out. He said, where no wood is dear, the fire goes out. These commandment give id So Timothy second Timoity wants it that you're fan to flame, So you want your fire to keep burning your valid and only you know what starts your fire. I can't specify what quickens fire for you. For me, first thing provokes my fire. Worship provokes my fire, Prayer provokes my fire. Generosity provokes my fire. So I live my life functioning like that. Those who are around me will tell you when you come to my place, there is constant music floating. I have many playlists. They are floating list some I card them floating. So when I enter the thing causes, I'm just griding. Sometimes you are listening, you are whipping. You are whipping, and you're breaking the tongue. I know it. That's why I keep my fire. Once in a while, I lock myself away. Eful light becomes too noisy. I offer everywhere is dark, and I cover my face on the ground. I commune. Fire comes. A point comes when as you journey your part, you start vibrating. I'm telling you, while you are there, your stomach costa movie as if you are connected to something and you can't hold yourself. See, these things are real. Sometimes the way my fire is dead, I just watch people walking in the supernatural. I'm playing Pastor Chris, I'm playing aa Allen. I'm playing ancient guys and they are walking miracles as I'm seeing it, I'm working Phennhines meeting, and as miracles are happening, as its worshiping, I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying. I break into tongues. See a point comes my whole bod. I can't even hold myself. Something is happening to me. And you can sense the water bubbling from the ankle to the knee, to the waist to the neck. I know what keeps me on fire. This is why you must become a two tenth of the spirit to sustain fire. There are some of you here. The only thing that keeps you on fire is to listen to another person pray. So you load these tongues and you are hearing. And as it's training. Tongues, training tongue, some of the tongues we jack you. You will join. If you want to sustain fire, you must commit yourself to that protocol. There's a protocol number four. How do you keep your fire is by coming into the community and the assembly of the brethren. In Hebrews ten twenty four, the Bible said we should pour ourselves where should provoke ourselves into love the passions of the spirit. It said, don't be like others. That despise the gathering of the brethren. There's a move today on the internet that church is not necessary, and you think they're happy you. They said, don't go to church. All these pastors want to take your money. How much have you given since you gave your heart to risk you and people listening to salt cabbage churches that exist time before you were born, and you think they're working for Jesus. I think somebody comes and starts talking. Against a post feminas his wife said, don't go near her. Don't go there that woman. Do you know her? And you think he will endorse you. The church is the bride of Christ. When you attack the church, you are not attacking the pastor. You're attacking Jesus. When Paul was attacking the church, Jesus didn't say, why you attacking the church? In the Lusaldem it's a so song white person could tech down me. I know that I wolves in ship clothing in charge. But church is church, he said, don't be like those who despise the garding of the brother Ask yourself. The first time the Holy goes cave, they didn't meet them as individuals. They said they were together in one accord. Then the holy goes came. So when we got together is the place of the stirring of fire. Somebody worships, something hits you. Somebody leaves a prayer, something hits you. Somebody preaches, something hits you. Somebody manifesto something hits you. And we are sharpening ourselves iron shaft at iron as a man the countenance of his friend. If you want to remain on fire, these things you will sentence yourself to doing them for the rest of your life. The fellowship of the brethren, the funding to flame of the gift of God that is in you, the continuous receipt of the rem award, the positioning of the heart sacrificially. And then number five is continuous service. The Bible said in Romance twelfth e level befavent and spirit, how serving the Lord. Those of you who got to offend that I said they supposed to be anyhow in the choir are left after two years? If you are still on fire, I'm not called. I've never seen a Christian that left the body of believers and remained on fire after two years. No matter how fire, who you are when the wood is separated from the bunch it we quench. You are vulnerable standing alone. Any certain that told you to live service in God's house because you were hot, that's set and buried you. The church is like a. Dry cleaning press that I washed an iron clothes, and that a deady clothes that just arrived. As we are sitting here, sir, that I those. Who want that. Somebody this night I run into this meeting. Somebody phnicated and came here this night. He doesn't even know what we are talking about. He just entered. So if not everybody who is in church, that is a song. So if you're a friend there because of somebody, you didn't go because of Jesus. I taught myself many years ago, no body can provoke me out of my father's house. I have equal right in the city, in the in the house with you. Because if you stop saving, you lose your pavancy, befathan and spirit. How serving the all. This is why you shouldn't be motivated to salve. Look for a place to serve. If there's no place, find one place, plunge yourself there you are trying to retain your fire. Then there you stop saving. You discover that demons can hit on you. Then even the lioness that is the best hont in the forest. It goes in packs. If it separates itself, the highnas can kill it because taty of them will come on one, no matter how strong they We devalue. This is why you must keep saving if you want fire. Most of us have been hot. We went to God, we were healed, We came back saving. That's why we are here today. You can return fire without saving. And finally, to be on fire, you must rely on the Holy goos the Leser five sixteen. He say, if you walk in the spirit, he said, you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. This fire can be retained. When God Savant said the fire that does not quench it was not a cliche. It's a reality that is possible. And I came tonight to show you how to sustain that reality. If you want to have fire, you must receive Jesus. If you don't receive Jesus, you can never be on fire unless it's a strange fire. And when you receive. Jesus, if you want to sustain the fire, hear me. There are many young people here. I'm telling you things that will impact your life for the next fifty years. Don't take it for granted. I've received they little help from God. I can tell you some things. If you want to retain the fire of God, you. Must pay the price through consecration to keep finding it to flee. You want to maintain the fire of God, you must walk in the community of believers. No, I so let that Christian is on fire. Forget what they are telling you. They are talking from bitterness. Check them. You will know because they're angry with tops. They are looking for pastors to attack to have gratification. They don't the church. No so let her Crystal can tell you. On fire is a lie because one of the expressions of fire is low. You can't be on fire and be alone. It's impossible. Stay in the community of believers ninten service. Rely on the Holy gooes. Keep receiving the rem award, and you'll see the way your fire wi bone. And when your fire bones. All the benefits earlier outlined, you will find yourself manifesting it. And you'll manifest it and manifested and manifested and manifested. Because the part of the judge man is as a shiny light it shines brighter and brighter onto the perfect day in another three minutes. I want us to rise where we worship God, and as we are worshiping Gold, where we ask for a word from the spirit. Let God speak to your heart tonight and see if what you carry we go down. I can't stare myself. And provoke you, but I want you to work what I've shown you as we watch you. God. In one minute, please hear me. Disconnect from everybody, face the Lord Jesus and tell yourself, Holy coast, I rely on you carry me. Lord, speak to me tonight. Let God give you one word, and if your generation don't come chasing you in three months. I don't know what I'm talking about. Can we have those in circles? Read doesn't washp that's three minutes. Get your hands, hey, hey, hey, hey, come on, come on. Singing hey yeah, he. Yeah, come on, louder, louder, open your mouth, come on. Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah, come on. Yeah. I'll come to the ground. Come to the door of the spirit. Attention to the trun of the spirit. Dot com from Jesus. I'm content to con the volume of the bulls. Still the switching, Come off to.
