SEVEN THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE FIRE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD CONT’D
4. The fire of the presence of God is a crushing fire.
God did not call his children to be loafers or compromisers. God wants us to be very purposeful. He left us here to be his ambassadors. Jesus was never a loafer, he was righteousness personified. He was a radical. You cannot carry the pure fire of God and remain an average Christian. God hates lukewarmness, he wants his children to be hot. A lot of Christians are lukewarm today; moderate Christianity is apostate Christianity. You cannot carry the fire of the presence of God and be neutral or be a politician. The fire of the presence of God hates lies. The spirit of God is the spirit of truth. Jesus said I am the truth (John 14:6). As an ambassador of Christ, you must be full of truth. If you don’t have the spirit of truth, then you are not a Christian at all (Rom. 8:9). Truth is clear, simple and always pointing in the right direction – heaven. When you are done with your mission here on earth, you will be remembered for two things: the problems you solved and the problems you left behind. I pray that you will not leave any problem behind in the name of Jesus. For you to accomplish your purpose, Jesus told us in Luke 10:19, behold I give you power to trample upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The fire of the presence of God is a fire that crushes snakes. There are snakes everywhere, serpentine creatures all over the place, you need this fire to crush them; put the enemy where he belongs, under your feet. You cannot change what you tolerate.
Pray –
- Father, make it impossible for me to be part of the problem that you sent me to solve in the name of Jesus.
- Lord, I do not want to leave any problem behind. Everything you have brought me here to do, may I accomplish it in the name of Jesus.
- Lord, let your fire envelop me. You have given me power over all the power of the enemy, nothing shall by any means hurt me.
- I ask you, O God, in the mighty name of Jesus to release this crushing anointing upon everyone connected to this ministry; the anointing to crush the head of the leviathan and trample upon serpents and scorpions in the name of Jesus.
- Lord, please empower me and make me an enforcer of righteousness. Do not allow any evil personality to mesmerize me in the name of Jesus Christ. Grant that the evil will of another personality will never derail your purpose for my destiny or the destiny of any of my children or anyone connected to this ministry in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
The enemy will always want to test your resolve and boundaries. If you allow him, he will come and tabernacle. You need fire to chase the wild beast away. Before the ark of the living God, dagon must bow.
Declare –
- Before the ark of the living God, dagon must bow, baal must bow, molech must bow, asmode must bow, asteroth must bow. All the evil powers of idolatry must bow in the name of Jesus Christ. Goliath must bow. Pharaoh must bow. Nebuchadnezzar must bow. Herod must bow and the word of God must prevail in the mighty name of Jesus. The glory of God must be displayed. The name of the Lord must be magnified in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, arise, send your ministering angels to flush out all the agents of darkness that are terrorizing your people in this nation. Evil will never triumph in this nation. Let all the strange fires they have kindled be put off and let all their evil altars fail them in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Let the gods that have not made these heavens perish from under these heavens and from this earth in Jesus’ name.
