John answered them all, "I baptize you with water. But one who is
more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am
not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire
(Luke 3:16) in this scripture, we see three baptisms:
1. By water.
2. By the Holy Ghost.
3. By Fire.
What is FIRE?
Fire is a rapid, persistent, chemical reaction that releases heat and
light. It signifies intensity, inspiration, enthusiasm, violence and
power. And that is why most of the time in the bible we see fire as an
indication of the presence of God. Fire from heaven destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 9)
1. A pillar of fire guided the Israelites on their journey (Exodus 13)
2. Fire came down and consumed the sacrifices of Solomon (2
chronicles 7)
3. Elijah called fire to consume his sacrifice (1 Kings 18)
4. The same Elijah called fire to destroy his own enemy (2 Kings 1)
5. The Elijah carried to heaven by a whirlwind and a chariot of Fire
(2 kings2)
6 The same fire of God was the fire that He used to make His
ministers. The
Bible says that He made His ministers a Flame of Fire (Psalm 104:4)
7. The same bible calls Refining Fire (Malachi 3)
8. The same fire is called consuming fire (Hebrews 12)
9. The same Fire is called Pentecostal fire in Acts of the apostle's
(Chapter 2)
We need the Fire, there was fire in the bones of Jeremiah, there was
so much fire in the bones of Elisha that after he was buried his bones
were able to raise the dead.
So many do not receive from God, because they do not stay with God
long enough to hear from Him. You cannot expect to spend 10
minutes a day with the Lord and then say. I want to be filled with the
Holy Spirit.
If you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit, you must learn on how
to flow in the Holy Spirit.
The truth is that there are many people received the baptism of the
Holy Spirit but there are very few people who have received the
baptism of fire. Those who have received the baptism of fire
When you receive the baptism of fire three things will happen:
1. Jeremiah 20: 9 says, “Then I said I will not make mention nor
speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a
burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing,
and I could not stay.” When you receive the baptism of fire you
cannot relax. It is not possible because the fire will not let you. You
cannot see sinners and feel unconcerned. You would not be able to
do without prayer and you would find it difficult to be away from
your Bible. You would want to sit down and read it through. That is
what we call baptism of fire.
