The God Who Answers by Fire
The God Who Answers by Fire
“The God who answers by fire, He is God.” 1 Kings 18:24
Elijah met God in the fire. In perhaps one of the best known fire-encounter moments in the entire Bible, Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal at Mt. Carmel. He boldly declared a universal biblical reality; “The God who answers by fire, He is God.” What Elijah was declaring is that our God consistently answers prayer by sending the fire of His manifest presence. This is a timeless kingdom principle that we not only want to learn, we want to learn to pray.
Our generation needs to witness the all consuming fire of God’s manifest presence just as much as Elijah’s generation. This declaration is a promise that is rock solid today-- “The God who answers by fire, He is God.” It’s time for us to put this declaration into our prayer lives.
Lord God Almighty, answer me with fire. Pour out the manifest presence of Your glory today.
Please PRAY!
We are asking God for the remaining world countries and U.S.A. states to receive the training of the College of Prayer. Pray with us today for Nauru and Kansas.
This daily Christ-encountering, fire-starter is not intended to replace your daily Bible reading and prayer time, but rather to motivate you to spend extended time in His presence.
