What does it mean to say that “God is an all consuming fire”? Fire can be seen as an illuminating light, trial, testing, or the manifestation of God’s presence. It can both destroy and purify. In this powerful teaching with Lenny King, we can see that fire is symbolic of the revelation of Christ, which is brought by His messengers. The fire is meant to burn and consume the sin (wood, hay, and stubble) in our lives; while it purifies the qualities of God inside of us (gold, silver, and precious stones). Whatever has been placed upon the fire will never be the same. God wants to kindle the fire inside of us, that it may continually burn, so nothing of our old nature is left, and everything that has bound us is destroyed. When our minds are illuminated by the light of the Word, we begin to be transformed into His image. Partner with us today to help bring the revelation of God’s Kingdom to the nations!
