Dr Gerald Jeffers | What Side Of The Fire Are You On? | Lost Cassette Tapes

simply want to talk to you on this subject tonight what side of the fire are you on what side of the fire are you on the lord bless you you're seated in his wonderful presence you're going to need to keep your bibles open with me tonight as we're going to be undergoing scriptural journey and understanding what the lord wants to convey at this time what side of the fire are you on let's go to the book of deuteronomy chapter four deuteronomy chapter four whenever the lord wants to take us to new levels there are a few things that are a mandatory requirement one paradigm shifts it means that god has got to change the way you're thinking and what that really entails is that god must cause you to think and see him in a different way and according to how you see god will determine your elevation in god for when you can see him you can become like him so tonight is going to start some of these paradigm shifts these shifts in concepts what's happened to many people is you've come through difficulty but the difficulty is still in you and now god's going to help shift the way you're thinking because your thinking has got out of line with god because of the things that you've gone through but somebody say he loves me so now it's because he loves us that he comes to give us these things these things become keys to take us to next levels and next dimensions i want you to keep in mind what you've read in song of solomon that love is as strong as death jealousy is as cruel as the grave the closer ever cause of fire which have a most vehement flame now deuteronomy chapter 4 in deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 24 for the lord thy god is a consuming fire even a jealous god i don't know about you but when i initially read this in the song of solomon i thought the jealousy is as cruel as the grave was referring to man man's jealousy is as cruel as the grave it is not to the lord begin to take me to the scriptures that i begin to understand that jealousy as cruel as the grave is god did you notice this that the cause thereof are cause a fire and did you notice that the lord is a consuming fire even a jealous god that jealousy is referring to god watch this come on down a little further verse 26 i call heaven earth to witness against you this day that he's talking to his people that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land where until you go over to jordan to possess it you shall not prolong your days upon it but shall utterly be destroyed see his jealousies as cruel as the grave god said don't worry about the devil you better worry about me y'all gonna make me work this can i tell you that our problem is not the devil our problem is god our problem is god let me explain the bible says that balaam of peor was went to give a prophecy on the half of barack god told him don't go he was a greedy prophet he wanted to go you know the story he gets on the donkey he starts to go the bible says the angel of the lord would stood him in the way as an adversary catch this the word satan means adversary do you do when god becomes your satan the lord stood in the way as an adversary to block the man of god and said i would have killed you and spared the donkey because as stubborn as the donkey is it knows to bow down to me the devil really is not your problem because if you line yourself up perfectly with god the devil cannot really be a problem to you the problem is where do you stand with god what side of the fire are you on watch this you are either on the jealous consuming fire of god or you are on the passionate love side of god remember god is a consuming fire and god is love therefore if god is consuming fire then love is a consuming fire but god is jealous so if god is jealous and god is a consuming fire then jealousy is a consuming fire which side of the fire are you on you're either on his jealous rage that seeks to take you out or you were on his consuming love that seeks to promote you and take care of you all right let's go to the book of exodus and we're going to take our time tonight and break down some understandings by the help of god exodus chapter 14 exodus chapter 14. watch what he's saying we're starting in verse 19 exodus chapter 14 verse 19. exodus chapter 14 verse 19 and the angel of god which went before the camp of israel removed and went behind them and the pillar of cloud went from before their face and stood behind them so the pill of cloud that had led them to the red sea now went from before the face stood behind them and separated israel from egypt verse 20 and it came between the camp of the egyptians and the camp of israel and it was a cloud and darkness everybody say cloud and darkness notice this notice this it's a cloud and darkness to them but it gave light by night to these one cloud two natures one cloud two natures to the egyptians he was darkness to the israelites he was light what side of the fire are you on see the problem why a lot of you get confused you move to the wrong side of the fire you move to the side of darkness with god you become confused well how can a fire remember it's a pillar fire how can a pill of fire have darkness simple it's the smoke smoke that comes from the fire forms darkness this automatically causes you watch the natural principle catch the natural principle they tell you now if your house is on fire what kills most people is not the fire it's the smoke and they tell you now the way to survive this fire don't try to stand up and walk it'll kill you get down on your hands and knees and crawl humble yourself if you want to be on the right side of the fire and you find yourself in the smoke just humble yourself oh jesus hallelujah i need to be on the right side of the fire i need to be on the right side of the fire [Applause] one cloud two natures let's move down a little further verse 24 and it came to pass that in the morning watch the lord looked under the host of the egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud and troubled the host of egyptians verse 25 and took off their chariot wheels see satan's not your problem it's god when you get on the wrong side of the fire god will take the wheels off of your vehicle he'll take the wheels off of your plans and everything comes to a halt when you move to the wrong side of the fire but if you stay on the right side of the fire you can say like david said i shall not be moved like a tree that's planted by the rivers of waters somebody shout lord keep me on the right side of the fire i need to be on the right side i need to stay on that right side of the fire we need to travel with this because god wants us to gain understanding book of numbers chapter 16 i want to show you one of the fastest biblical ways to get on the wrong side of the fire numbers chapter 16. it's imperative that you know this so that you don't allow the devil to take you there [Music] numbers chapter 16. hear this the bible says in verse 1 that the sons of korah began to rise up against moses and they began to speak against the man of god whom god had appointed moses says after being challenged that if god does a new thing and opens up the earth and swallows you you shall know that i am sent now look what happens verse 35 and there came a fire everybody say from the lord where did this fire come from see he is the consuming fire the fire came from the lord and consumed the 250 men that offered incense what happened was when they challenged the man of god and they allowed themselves to be corrupted against the leadership it was god that stood up by fire and took out his own leaders these were the sons of core these were priests these were levites the bible called the men of renown the fastest way to get on the wrong side the fire is attack leadership let me explain you didn't put them there you didn't call them so you ain't responsible for them god is the devil might say where they're not handling the money right or they're not doing this right or they're not doing this right here comes your position you are not moving me to the wrong side of the fire if somebody comes to you and starts downplaying leadership starts vomiting on you about leadership you tell them quickly you're not pushing me to the wrong side of the fire no no no you're not taking me over there what i'm supposed to do if i see that leadership is incorrect i'm supposed to approach the throne of god in prayer and in intercession [Applause] i'm not supposed to talk against leadership i'm not supposed to run down leadership i don't care how bad you think it is you don't have that authority you better stay on the right side of the fire [Applause] hallelujah [Applause] let me let me show you biblically what happens if you'll just stay on the right side of the fire all right let's go to the book of zechariah zechariah chapter two and i hear some of you well well preacher you know this is all old testament don't worry we get into the new testament hold slow your role slow your own we getting there zechariah chapter two and i want you to see that this isn't just an old testament concept it is a new testament also but we'll show you once we get there but first look at zechariah chapter 2 verse 5. i want you to see what happens if you stay on the right side of the fire listen to this for i saved the lord will be unto her he's talking to israel or particularly to jerusalem a wall of fire round about and my glory will be in the midst of her are you catching this visual if you have a wall of fire round about you what's the devil gonna do but sit back and watch god said if you just stick on the right side see you don't see why a lot of you are having trouble you're defending yourself stuff has gone wrong things have hurt you things have disappointed you and some of you either go verbally defend yourself to the person or in your own head you're acting like a lawyer you're bringing out your own files you're arguing the case you can hardly focus in prayer because you're arguing in your own head you're moving to the wrong side of the fire if you stay the right side of the fire god said you don't have to worry about it i will become a wall of fire my love will become a wall of fire round about you and my glory will show up in the midst of you let me tell you what the fire does for you the fire does a few things for you if you stay on the right side of it it will purify you when you stay on the right side of the fire the fire will first come after you to purify your heart and to make you see where you're wrong it'll purify you it will protect you that's what you just see here a wall of fire you don't have to protect yourself god says put away your water pistol i got a nuclear warhead you say but god they've done me wrong they didn't treat me right god says i'm on it now watch this watch this now because what happens to some of you is you try to cloak your flesh behind spirituality you say to god now i'm not upset about what they did i just have one request lord let me be there to see it when you get them [Applause] this is why the lord this is why the lord does not say vengeance is ours vengeance is mine save the lord i not we i will repent it is my sovereign right to decide whether you should be there or not but whether you are there not to see it know if you stay on the right side of the fire i got you back somebody clap your hands and tell the lord thank you thank you thank you thank you hallelujah the fire purifies the fire protects and the fire provides remember my glory will be in the midst glory in the midst means provisions and the fire gives passion when you stay on the right side of the fire god will give you the passion to keep going hallelujah have you listen have you ever gotten ready for church while you said i'm not going tonight y'all don't got to say no now speak for myself right here me me ear me [Applause] i'm not going cause i'm tired of this foolishness and while i'm saying i'm not going i'm ironing my clothes i don't care i'm still not going and after ironing i'm putting them on i mean it now i'm not going and the next thing i know i'm in the vehicle god i said i'm not going and the next thing i know i'm in the house of the lord because the fire has a passion that's greater than your will stay on the right side of that fire hallelujah somebody shout hallelujah now let's move to the new testament let's see that this is also a new testament concept the fire god being fire i'm in matthew chapter 3 is not just something in the old testament it is also a new testament understanding i want you to catch this you are either on the jealous consuming fire of god's wrath or you are on the passionate love consuming fire it's up to you to decide what side of that fire you are on if you will stay to the correct side of the fire i don't care what anyone did i don't care how bad the devil stuck came against you god promises that he will make you the head and not the tail he said all things were together for the good he did not say everything that happened to you was good he said i'm going to work it for your good i'm going to take what was not good and make it good i'm going to cause it to be made right if you'll just stay on the right side of the fire now listen to jesus it's actually john the baptist is speaking matthew chapter 3 matthew chapter 3 and starting in verse 10 and now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down in what wait a minute you're not you're not catching this hold on jesus says when a tree stops bearing fruit i will eventually cut it off and throw it into myself the consuming fire of my jealous rage and destroy it see a lot of you don't understand what the devil's trying to do is hurt you in order to back you up so that you stop bearing fruit so that god turns and wants to now put you into the fire the devil wants you to shut your mouth what's happening to many views when you come to church because of the atmosphere of church you praise god you give him glory you shout you dance you run but when you go home you go home and kick the cat and scream at the kids you leave the praise here you leave the fruit of the praise here remember what he said in hebrews chapter 13 verse 15 offer unto the lord the sacrifice of praise which is the fruit of your lips see when you stop giving the fruit of praise god says why are you here because that everything that has breath praise the lord so if you're breathing and not praising exactly why are you breathing somebody open up your mouth and give him praise somebody give back that breath to god in the form of praise hide it open your mouth open your mouth [Applause] hallelujah verse 11 john the baptist still speaking i indeed baptize you with water under repentance but he that cometh after me is mightier than i whose shoes i'm not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the holy ghost and with [Music] now i know a lot of us many times we think of the fire the shout the dance and so forth but verse 12 he makes it clear whose fan is in his hand and he will thoroughly purge his floor and gather his wheat into the garner but he will burn up the chaff with unquench fire he said the purpose of the fire is not the shout the dance the rejoicing the purpose of the fire is to burn up your chaff what is the chaff the chaff is the residue of the wheat it is that which is left over which is not productive it symbolizes your flesh [Applause] what you discover then is that god begins to come after your flesh now you got to watch god you got to watch god somebody will do you wrong and it's obvious that they did you wrong you gotta watch god god will turn around and look at you and go i love you and by the way i let them do it you're going what okay run that by me one more time because i don't understand this kind of love he's going let me tell you why i let them do it because your flesh is too alive now what do you mean by flesh when i talk about your physical skin flesh in the bible refers to our character or our nature that is opposite to god it means that you start demonstrating characteristics that are opposite to the fruit of the spirit of the lord love joy peace long suffering gentleness meekness temperance faith in other words god said i let this happen to show you that there's a side of you that's too alive [Applause] you you you you understand because what happens to many of you is you lose your holy ghost when you drive you know you might as well come up and be real in here you set your holy ghost on the corner and say i'll pick you up when the wheel stops and then you get in the vehicle and if someone cuts you off or someone's going too slow you talk to people like they hear you i'll give you three colors three give you three guesses what color that green light is would you get you would you get your license a bubblegum machine you can start calling people names move you idiot oh i know you don't do that right right [Applause] right see god sometimes has to let someone cut you off just to show you what's in your heart the stuff that starts coming out of your mouth it's what's really going on in your heart that temper you got that mood you have [Applause] and then god goes i'm the consuming fire see your flesh isn't stupid what do you mean the reason why sometimes we struggle to praise and worship god is because when i worship god i am dragging my flesh next to the consuming fire it's like dragging wax next to a ball of flames and that's why many times you will discover that when you're at home in different places it's time to read your bible bible is the best sleeping pill going it is pick up anything else and read pick up newspapers pick up any other magazines read from cover to cover pick up your bible and all of a sudden you get the feeling that you should be reading psalms 117 two verses i read a chapter [Music] yeah and by the time you get past the third thou you're going you're falling asleep why because your flesh isn't stupid it understands if you keep taking me near this flame if the chaff is going to get burnt up [Applause] come to hebrews chapter 12 hebrews chapter 12. i want you to see this that god is fire from old testament to new testament god is fire there are certain attributes of god that do not change from the old testament to the new testament they remain the same and one of the characteristics is that he's fire hebrews chapter 12 verse 28 for our god [Music] excuse me verse 29 thank you for our god is a what it didn't change he is a consuming fire now there's not too many things the bible says that god is god is love god is jealous god is light god is a spirit and god is a consuming fire all those things that you find that god is he's that from the old testament to the new testament they are unalterable and he will be that for eternity [Applause] have you heard the saying about love that love can be passionate like a fire uh-huh love love is just like a fire it can consume you this is why the bible says guard your heart you must be careful who and what you fall in love with guard your heart because when love starts flowing like a fire it's very difficult to control watch this one god is love everybody say god is love everybody say god is a consuming fire everybody say love is a consuming fire everybody say love is as strong as death can i please see the hands of you that can control death no no one then why do you think you can control love the only one that can control love is the only one that can control death god you have to ask god to guard your heart that's why people who can be married for years if you're not careful your love can start flowing somewhere else with your yamaha honda kawasaki self speaking in tongues and your love goes somewhere else it goes riding off after somebody else why because you must ask god i don't care if you've been married how much in love you must ask god to keep that love you must work on putting the fans you must work to fan the flame of love love it its place is powerful loving its place is absolutely powerful this is why we in places we have fireplaces what do you mean fireplace the fires in this place as long as the fire stays in this place it's a source of heat it's a source of light it'll cook your food it'll give you ambiance which is a atmosphere of romance have you ever known that realize that we liken fire to romance but the same fire out of its place will toast you that's the way love is in its place honey it's bad but out of its place it'll burn you up that's why god is showing you you've got to stay on the right side of the fire now come to the book of revelation revelation chapter 21 revelation chapter 21 let's look at a few more uh understandings in the scriptures i'm saying revelation chapter 20. revelation chapter 20 uh starting amen at verse 7. revelation chapter 20 verse 7. he says and when the thousand years are expired satan shall be loosed out of his prison okay we know we're dealing with end times he shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth gog magog which are russia and so forth to gather them together to battle the number which has ascend of the sea i want us i want you to see this that not only is god fire in the past not only is god fire in the present but god will be fire in the future this is talking about a futuristic thing he says and they went up on the breath of the earth and compassed the camp of the saints about and the beloved city and fire came down from god out of heaven and devoured them fire began to flow now watch this watch this do you realize what jesus said jesus said that it is better that a millstone is hung around your neck then you offend the least of his little ones why is it better because it's better to take the millstone than face the consuming fire [Applause] if you understand that that when somebody offends you there is actually a level in revelation where you become sad for them and you actually start interceding for them of god don't kill them because i know when they touched me they touched the apple of your eye i know god now that you're saying the consuming fire is coming after them oh jesus are you ready for a paradigm shift about god all right let's go on in chapter 20 verse 14 chapter 20 verse 14 of revelation and death and hell were cast into the lake of i'd like to propose to you that the lake of fire is god it is the jealous consuming fire of his rage that he told israel if i find you with another god i will utterly destroy you same god same fire [Applause] now i want to prove this to you further by scripture because not only not only will the world face goddess fire but you and i got to face god's fire as saved christians watch the word come to the book of corinthians corinthians chapter three first corinthians chapter three remember now god shows two sides to his fire he shows a love consuming fire that protects and keeps he shows a jealous rage that utterly destroys same god remember god with god said isaiah i create light and i create darkness i the lord do all these things same god how do you create darkness fire causes smoke when does fire cause smoke when it's burning something see when you understand this friend you're not afraid of people you get afraid for them when you watch people hurt someone when you watch people hurt the leadership of this church when you watch hurt people hurt each other you you get scared and you know what you start going to separate yourself now don't get me wrong god's got good aim and i ain't talking toothpaste god knows how to hit his target but you just simply don't want to be in the vicinity [Applause] watch this watch this what happened aaron's two sons they burn strange fire before the lord what happened the bible said a fire came out from god and consume them he is the lake of fire [Applause] first corinthians chapter that's why you don't got to worry about it because you know we used to i don't know about you but as kids you know we we trash talked you know what i mean by trash talk we we get in somebody's face you know oh yeah you know you know how you got your neck hand all in the back like that you know you we we just get in somebody's face like and one of our saying was my daddy can beat your daddy especially your little kids you know my dad now i found out that's true [Music] when your daddy's the god of the universe he can he can take down every other force somebody shout yes [Applause] first corinthians chapter three first corinthians chapter three i want you to see what paul has to say now regarding fire all right verse 11 verse 11 first corinthians chapter three for other foundation could no man lay then that is laid which is jesus christ now if any man build upon this foundation gold silver precious stones wood hay and stubble every man's work shall made manifest for the day shall declare because it shall be revealed by fire god said there's two categories to your works gold silver precious gems wood hay and stubble what does fire do to wood hay and stubble it demotes it it demotes its value what does fire due to gold silver precious gems it promotes its value see what side of the fire also depends on what you hand god if you hand god wood hay and stubble that's going to burn up if you hand god gold silver and precious gems that's going to promote [Applause] see i don't praise him just so you think i'm spiritual i don't praise him just so you can think well i must be living all right with god i praise him because i've got to give him gold silver and precious gems i'm not going to give him no wood hay and stubble you can sit there if you want to you can hand god would hide stubble if you want to i'm going to open up my mouth and give him gold silver and precious gems i'm going to give him the best praise i've got i'm going to give him the best worship i've got because then he shall promote me by fire [Applause] hallelujah hallelujah [Applause] hallelujah give somebody a high five and tell them i'm staying on the right side of the fire staying on the right side of the fire i'm not i'm not gonna let the devil push me to the wrong side now let's move on here first corinthians chapter 3 verse 13 every man's work shall be made manifest for the day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is listen if any man's work abide which he hath built there upon he shall receive a what if any man's work shall be burnt he shall suffer loss but he himself shall be saved yet so as by fire now this goes along with second corinthians chapter 5 verse 10 that we must all stand before the judgment seat of christ every man must give an account in his body whether it's good or whether it's bad god said this when you come to meet me at the bema seat that word judgment seat is bema seed it's lowly seed it's i'll look you eye to eye you got to meet the consuming fire and you are either bringing me gold silver and precious gems or you're bringing me wood hay and stubble now you're already saved but i'm going to try your works and you're going to get a reward from your works yeah yeah this is why the bible said don't let the sun go down on your wrath why because you're not promised to wake up tomorrow and if you go home before god with that wood hay and stubble of unforgiveness in your heart you're gonna suffer loss even though you can say well that person did me wrong the bible says you've got to forgive even as christ forgave you the scriptures are very clear the bible said if you want forgiveness you've got to forgive if you're not willing to forgive the bible said christ will not forgive you if god doesn't forgive you you cannot see his face in peace touch your neighbor say it's not worth it not worth it i don't care what they did to you i don't care how much they lied on you i don't care what kind of hell they put you through you're not gonna put me through hell now and send me to the liquor fire later i'm gonna clean my heart give me pure hands and a clean heart because i've got to be right because i'm not going to the lake of fire over this [Music] hallelujah i'm staying on the right side of the fire now come back with me just a moment i'm going to go to the book of jeremiah and i want you to show you something before i'm going to jeremiah chapter 20 just get there get situated we'll look at it in just a moment when the lord began to speak to me about this message he's begin to say to me son i have put natural example of myself in the earth there are many natural examples of god in the earth the bibles of the heavens declare the glory of god he said but the greatest example of myself in the earth is the sun the s-u-n tells you about the s-o-n what is the s-u-n a ball of consuming [Applause] fire let me explain why a lot of you are still here can i explain it from a scientific standpoint according to science what holds the earth in its elliptical orbit is the gravitational pull of the sun what's held your sanity has been the pull of god's love when you were about ready to fly out of your orbit when you were about ready to lose your mind god who is rich in mercy became the sustainer of your sanity the lifter of your head the lover of your soul the preserver of your life when the devil said i'm gonna kill you god said no live somebody tell god thank you in this house thank you jesus listen i i know i'm in a place that's called the valley of the sun first time i came here pastor didn't tell me these things pastor just let me learn them and then laughed at me got inside a pastor's truck after had been sitting for a while in july and grabbed the metal part of the sea buckle i heard laughter oh did i forgot to tell you [Music] smell flash okay [Music] not a problem i'm okay fire see when you get on the wrong side of the sun it'll burn you watch this watch this what scientist tells us causes seasons is the tilting of the earth away from the sun or towards the sun when the earth bows towards the sun that part that's bowing has summer oh jesus and the part that's pulled away from it has winter and then vice versa so do you understand the way to survive your spiritual winters is to bow towards the sun christ chief if you'll just bow your will if you'll just bow your desires if you'll just bow your hurts if you'll bow your fear if you'll bow your unforgiveness if you'll bow your loneliness you can have summer right in your winter bow down and worship him consuming fire you see how this works you know what the bible says the bible says no man can see god's face and live can i explain that to you by the sun from 93 million miles away the sun can burn you no one can go to the physical sun in the human body and live you would need a glorified body to get next to the sun it's going to be the same way by the sun christ jesus we know in part and we prophesy in part we see through a glass darkly why it blocks the sun [Applause] can i tell you what the problem is the problem is not enough god's people have a suntan an s-o-n tan [Applause] i was talking to some people now don't get me wrong all right i was talking to some people um in cincinnati ohio they got snow on top of snow they said where are you i said i'm in phoenix i'm working on my tan told him this was a heavy cross don't ask for it see you don't have to tell someone that you've been in the sun [Applause] can i tell you the problem that we're having we have too many that are getting artificial sun tans you think just because you got talent and all that you think you got a suntan [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you don't got to tell nobody that you don't gotta tell nobody you've been praying you don't have to tell nobody that you've been reading when you got a suntan honey they can see the sun upon your countenance you need a suntan oh oh did i mention did i mention that the sun will attack your skin if you stay up too long in it it attacks your flesh [Applause] stay out too long and you end up with sun cancer it'll attack your flesh are you hearing me this is why your flesh that nature in you that's opposite to god fight so hard because when you keep staying in the sun in the light of the son when you keep praising and worshiping god in his presence is fullness of joy when you keep dragging your flesh into the presence of god your flesh and to die somebody tell god i need a suntan i need a son i need an s010 i need an son tan hey oh oh hey i come from a place of uh what do you want to say um tourism and the tourists the greatest tourist aspect of the place that i'm at are beaches and so you got to catch this catch this do you know what they call the people who come down particularly in the summer and lay out in the sun they call them sun worshipers the world calls them that sun worshipers the beaches are lined with them and you know how you become a sun worshiper you have to begin to take your clothes off you know why a lot of you aren't sun worshipers you have too much armor on [Applause] you're too defensed you can't get no suntan with armor put on all the sun lotion you want to you're too guarded some of you hide behind laughter and jokes because if i keep you laughing you might not see who i really are [Applause] and you might not know how insecure i really am [Applause] the next thing after you take your clothes off the next thing you have to do is prostrate you got to lie down the next thing you have to do is you have to linger you must lie still and let the rays of the sun [Applause] may i tell you why a lot of you can't get a suntan you're never still in the presence of god [Applause] if you don't have armor on then you either always got the radio playing you always got christian music going on well i'm listening to christian music you got some video games you never you got something always go you're on the cell phone you always got something going on i'm bored it's too quiet that's why you never hear god [Applause] you want a real good suntan lay down and be still then occasionally turn over yeah yeah yeah see see what god's trying to say is i have put the perfect example of myself in the earth to show you me and that if you will prostrate yourself down before me you will take off your armor take off your defenses if you will try amen stop trying to cover yourself stop

you 93 million miles away from you i put fire in the earth itself molten rock so hot it melts rock okay okay all right come to jeremiah chapter 20. you'll understand what i'm saying jeremiah 20. all right let me let you understand what i'm saying because god said what he is ready to take this church to the next level he's only requiring one thing stay on the right side of the fire jeremiah chapter 20 verse 9 then i said i will not make mention of him nor speak any more in his name this jeremiah saying but his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my are you catching this if god god is the word everybody say amen and god is a consuming fire amen then the word is a consuming fire so when you put the word inside of you jeremiah was so weary he didn't want to speak anymore he's not talking about a dance a shout or running did you hear him i feel deceived i feel awful i don't want to preach anymore every time i say anything it only slaps me back in the face every time i extend to help god's people i only get hurt i wrote what you told me to wrote it ended in me being in some pit thrown by a king and all i had was some bread and some water and i sunk down into the mire and i got to the point where i said i'm not talking anymore i'm not going to talk about this anymore i'm not going to praise you anymore i'm not involved in this anymore he said but the word was in me like a fire shut up in my bones i could not shut my mouth how much word do you have in you see most of us are very familiar with this part in jeremiah but we're not familiar with how jeremiah had this happen to him go to chapter 5 of jeremiah chapter 5 of jeremiah verse 14. i got to wrap this up chapter 5 verse 14. listen to what he says wherefore thus saith the lord god of host because you speak this word god's speaking to jeremiah listen behold i will make my words in thy mouth fire and this people would and it shall devour them when the word is inside of you like a fire friend and the devil in front of you is like wood and you don't got nothing to worry about somebody say thank you jesus when the word is in you like fire you can burn up the oppositions that are in front of you somebody shall thank you jesus i want you to understand that god put a fire inside of the earth it is a fire to symbolize because we are the earth a fire that melts rock and when the word is so strong in you it'll melt your heart of stone oh yes it will i don't care if you're somebody that doesn't praise god if you get enough word inside of you you'll begin to lift up your hands and open up your mouth that word will burn up your flesh that word will overcome your personality that word will overcome your culture that word will overcome your upbringing and cause you to be somebody that opens up your mouth and lifts your hands and give god praise because the word is in me like a fire oh god oh god oh god [Applause] foreign ezekiel said that he saw god he said he was a fire from his loins down meaning his waist and he was fired from his loins up he said when i saw him he was just pure fire fire daniel saw god he said a fire came from his throne fire he's been known as fire how can you survive the life's trials and fire listen to what isaiah said when thou walk is through the fire thou shall not be burned neither shall the flame kindle upon thee how can i walk through hot trials and not be burned because i am with the consuming fire [Applause] [Music] the consuming fire is there and when i get the word of the consuming fire in me then i have fire now i'm fire you can't burn fire with fire when you set me in the trial you can't burn me because i'm fire i'm just like him you only create a bonfire a bonfire praise a bonfire of worship to intensify my praise clap your hands all you people shout unto god don't you worry about your brother-in-law don't you worry about your boss don't you even worry about your spouse don't you worry about those people that are talking against you you just stay on the right side of the fire don't you let unforgiveness in your heart don't you let hatred or bitterness in your heart it'll move you to the wrong side of the fire and god shall become darkness unto you but if you stay on the right side of the fire understand this in this house when god said i not only put fire in the heavens but i put fire in the earth lava molten rock remember we came from earth this is the way it's supposed to be within us fire of the word of god that melts the hardness of our hearts now what happens when there's a crack in the earth's crust here
