Acts 2:3

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

One of the symbols of Christianity is fire. If the Bible regards fire as the supreme need of the Church and the final gift of God. If the prophets of old associated fire with the Messiah. If our God is a consuming fire. If the gift of the Holy Spirit is a baptism by fire. If Christianity is a religion of fire. If we are saved by fire. If fire is so important then what exactly is it?
What happened on the day of Pentecost?
See beyond the phenomena, the noise, the violent wind, the tongues of fire, speaking in tongues, drunken-like behaviour. You will then see men and women whose lives were saturated with the Spirit of God. The passion of God possessed them with an intensity of a fire. They burned and they shone for Jesus. A holy passion for righteousness, a consuming enthusiasm for the salvation of the lost. They were sold out for Jesus.
You cannot make up this passion.
The fire of God is unique.
The world understands passion. The world is passionate about rugby right now! But it is not possible for you to create passion for God. You cannot through effort or desire or strategy bring about divine fire. It is a gift to receive.
The fire of God is not sent for a few emotional experiences. The fire of God brings power, acts 1:8. Power to surrender your whole life to God.
