To be Filled with the Spirit Is to be consumed by the Holy Spirit and under His control Quick Review

Exodus 24:17 “The appearance of the Lord’s glory to the Israelites was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop.” Revelation 4:5 Flashes of lightning and roars of thunder came out from the throne in the center of the circle. Seven torches, which are the seven spirits of God, were burning in front of the throne. CEV In the Bible, God is Compared to Fire

Deuteronomy 4:24 “The Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God”

God is at Work to Keep the Fire Burning Within Us A holy fire burns within us…

Matthew 3:11 “He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” By the Holy Spirit

“Where the Spirit is, He burns" Bengal

Jeremiah 20:9 “Then I said, ‘I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name.’ But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not.” (NKJV) Through God’s Word

To set on fire, to burn, to consume with fire Luke 24:32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" (NIV) In Jesus’ Presence

You're’ Responsible to Keep the Fire Burning Romans 12:11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Fervent = to boil with heat, be hot Amplified: “Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.”

2 Timothy 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. Amplified: “Stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you” You're Responsible with Your Gift

Don’t Put Out the Spirit’s Fire Quench not the Spirit (KJV) Stifle/Quench: –to extinguish, quench –Used of fire or things on fire Do not extinguish the Spirit (NET) Do not put out the Spirit's fire (NIV)

Ways We Put Out the Spirit’s Fire We fail to immediately obey the promptings of the Sprit We insist on maintaining control We are determined to keep up appearances We are not available to God for Christian service We neglect the means of fueling the fire

Satan’s Guide for Fighting the Spirit’s Fire The most critical time during a fire is when it first breaks out. A fire's burning edge is treated by wetting, cooling, smothering, or chemically quenching it; or by separating the burning material from the unburned. A different extinguishing agent must be used for each type of fire. Close doors and windows and turn off electrical equipment. Stay low to the ground. If it is not safe to contain or extinguish the fire, immediately leave the area.
