“Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.” 1 Kings 18:38
“Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:17
Fire speaks of the cleansing work of the Holy Spirit. Fire does only one thing; it destroys everything it touches except what it cannot burn. That is the way the fire of the Holy Spirit is in our lives. He will burn away the dross and leave what is precious. Fire even when it is controlled is a dangerous thing and so it is with the Holy Spirit. When the fire of the Holy Spirit is allowed to burn in our lives then some of what we thought was precious may be burned up by the fire.
