Matthew 3:11
“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
"Blow the trumpet in Zion...as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong (Joel's army); there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it...A FIRE devours before them; and behind them a FLAME burns: (Joel 2:1-3).
"And I will bring the THIRD PART (a Most Holy Place people) through the FIRE, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is My people..." (Zech. 13:9; compare Num. 31:23; Psa. 66:12; Isa. 43:2).
"But who may abide the day of His coming? and who shall stand when He appears? (He will!) He is like a refiner's FIRE, and like fullers' soap" (Mal. 3:2).
"Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day (Day of the Lord, the 7th Day from Adam, the 3rd Day from Jesus) shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by FIRE; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is" (1 Cor. 3:13).
"For our God is a (totally) consuming FIRE" (Heb. 12:29; compare Deut. 4:24; Psa. 97:3; Isa. 10:17; 31:9; Jer. 23:29; Rev. 1:14; 2:18; 3:18; 10:1; 19:12).
"And out of the throne (the Ark) proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of FIRE burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God (the fullness of the Spirit, as in John 3:34) (Rev. 4:5).
There are 4 types pf people in the Church now.
Those that are:
1. BY the fire, just close enough to stay warm and be protected. (Luke 22:56-62).
2. IN the fire, the forming place of God (Dan. 3:1-30).
3. ON fire, quickly shedding the old (Eph. 4:22; Col. 3:8-9).
4. AS fire, conformed to His image and likeness (Jer. 23:29; Heb. 12:29
The glory of God's Word is a devouring fire (Ex. 24:17; Jer. 23:29; Heb. 12:29) that has consumed the flesh but not the spirit. The Spirit shall prevail (Judges 6:21; Rom. 8:9 and separate ones who are energized by the strength and zeal of His Spirit (Deut. 33:16; Isa. 43:2; 63:15; Dan. 3:27).
The Lord says; This is what I am doing in this hour.For you shall become as FIRE. Those who will declare My Word unto the Nations will be as Jeremiah who declared :Jer. 23:29 “Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD,“And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
Those things that can be broken (shaken) shall be broken, shaken. Kingdom shall prevail, righteousness , peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Love being the predominate force.
Hebrews 12:26-28 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I [a]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we [b]may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
