I want to share with you what happens

when the fire Falls what happens when

the fire Falls several years ago the

story is told and of something that

happened in Yosemite National Park

they had a spectacle called the fire

fall and they would gather all of the

trees that had fallen throughout the

year and they would pile them up on a

granite mountain in Yosemite National

Park and it would be this huge stack

just massive massive pieces of wood that

had been gathered from all over the

forest and they would pour gas and

kerosene on those trees and they would

wait until the Sun went down and they

would like the massive huge bonfire on

the cliff of this mountain

they had bulldozers that were ready to

push the massive burning trees off of

the side of that granite mountain and

they would come flying down like like a

cascade of fire and waterfalls of fire

it’s what they said it would look like

but just before they would do that all

of the people that were gathered in a

safe distance to watch the fire fall

would cry out with a loud voice this was

the tradition let the fire fall and when

they would say that the bulldozers would

push the burning trees off and the fire

would fall and they would have a big

celebration there was a man who was

there and he came back some years later

and he came at the same time expecting

to see the fire fall and he asked the

Ranger of the forest ranger he said when

is the fire fall and the man said to him

I’m sorry sir we don’t have the fire

fall here anymore we don’t have it here

anymore the fire doesn’t fall here

anymore

that could be said of so many churches

so many places and so many believers

no longer is there a bright burning

bonfire a praise and glory in many

places and worship and joy and the the

fire of the Holy Spirit now it’s just a

flickering ember of a once red-hot fire

gone is the praise gone is the glory

gone is the enthusiasm and innocence and

excitement of serving the Lord listen to

this verse Matthew 28 and verse 8 the

the five virgins that ran out of all in

the story of the bridegroom coming and

they didn’t have all in their lamps and

the Bible said they said quote give us

your all for our lamps are going out one

translation said give us your all listen

for our flame is dying dying flames

flames that were once ignited by the

power and the fire of the Holy Ghost

today no longer burn brightly for God

their countenance does not shine their

their spirit and their life does not

shine in a dark world

we need a fire fall in our mist we need

the fire of God to fall on us again what

is the fire of God pastor Franklin

number one the fire of God is the symbol

of deity listen to these verses Hebrews

12 29 our God is a consuming fire

Malachi 3 and verse 2 he shall sit as a

refiner fire and fuller soap Isaiah 4

and verse 4 said the Holy Spirit is the

spirit of burning in that something he’s

the spirit of burning Matthew 3 and

verse 11 he speaking of Jesus shall

baptize you in the Holy Ghost and in

fire fire secondly is the is the symbol

of acceptance and approval by God when

they offered an offering unto the Lord

the way that they knew that the Lord

approved and accepted that sacrifice is

fire in the Oh

Testament would fall from heaven and

consume that offering it was a symbol of

the acceptance and the approval of God

Leviticus chapter 9 said a fire went out

from the presence of the Lord and

consumed the sacrifice and the people

shouted and fell on their faces it was

the approval and the acceptance of God

upon their sacrifice in Genesis 15

Abraham split five animals and laid half

on one side and half on the other and he

offered it as a sacrifice to God and the

Bible said there came a flickering fire

God descended in the in the form of a

flame of fire and walked between the

sacrifices there was nothing but a flame

of fire God was saying I approve of the

sacrifice when the father of Samson

offered God a sacrifice the Bible said

that fire shot out of the rock and the

scripture said and an angel came down in

the fire and it says and the angel of

the Lord did wondrously King James

Version says when another translation

said that he shouted in the fire or he

ascended in the fire can you see an

angel as as as fire shoots out of the

rock and consumed the sacrifice and meal

that Sampson offered God and God

consumed it with fire and then an angel

starts dancing in the fire it was a sign

of God’s approval it was a sign of God’s

acceptance when our lives get to the

place that he can approve of us he

accepts us he receives us because not

just because of the inward work but

because we are at some point in our life

so transformed that it begins to

manifest outwardly and God sees our

whole life as a sacrifice when we get to

that place he accepts the fire and the

and the we love God for our life the

fire will consume that

sacrificial life that we live the fire

is a symbol of God’s presence wherever

God was there was a demonstration of

fire zechariah 2 i will be unto

jerusalem a wall of fire roundabout and

the glory of the lord in the midst of

her when the children of israel walked

through the wilderness the Bible said

that God led them by a pillar of fire

Egypt didn’t see the fire they were in

darkness they couldn’t see it their

enemies couldn’t see it but there was a

fire over the nation of Israel and the

people of Israel in the wilderness and

they followed that fire and that fire

led them that fire had a guiding effect

that fire had an illuminating effect

that fire had an energizing effect upon

God’s people it’s a sign of God’s

presence the only fire that some

churches have left is the fire in the

kitchen there’s no fire in the pulpit

there’s no fire in the pews there’s no

fire in the singing there’s no fire in

the choir come on there’s no fire in

people’s prayers there’s no fire in

their praise one preacher named Charles

Spurgeon said put some fire in the

sermon or put the sermon in the fire we

need the fire of God Lord let the fire

fall on free chapel tonight come on and

clap your hands if something in you says

Lord I would love for your fire to

ignite my soul programs have replaced

passion and power it’s time for the fire

to fall when worship becomes highly

mechanical it’s time for the fire to

fall when we’re bathed in immorality and

our heart is no longer convicted it’s

time for the fire to fall when nudity is

called art and believers are okay with

it invading their homes it’s time for a

fire fall Timothy said in Timothy 1 in

verse 6 stir up the gift of God that is

in you one translation said

Kindle the fire that is within you stir

up the gift or in other words fan the

flame keep it burning fire comes from

the Lord but we have to keep it burning

God will send the fire but you have to

put wood on the fire

proverbs 26 and twenty says where there

is no wood the fire goes out in that

profound if you don’t put wood on the

fire it’s just a matter of time before

all you have is ashes and some of you

have ashes where there used to be fired

because you’re not putting wood on the

fire the Bible reading is the wood on

the fire prayer is the wood on the fire

praise is the wood on the fire living

holy and forgiving your enemies is the

wood on the fire resisting temptation

when nobody’s looking is wood on the

fire take a praise break and say let the

fire fall on my soul again holy spirit

praise God glory keep the fire box full

of wood clean out the fire box you can’t

neglect it 1st Thessalonians 5:19 said

quench not the spirit

don’t put fake logs in there we need the

real thing in this hour we don’t need to

be a fakey Christian we don’t need to be

a fake that acts like we’ve got real

heat and fire but we don’t have it

Oh God don’t distinguish the spirits

fired help me not to in my life and in

my church do not subdue the spirits fire

there’s an old song that they used to

sing in the church and the words go like

this I’ve got a glad new touch of fire

bless His name turn to somebody and say

I hope you get a glad new touch of fire

then you’ll bless his name how many of

you like to have a brand new

such a fire come on Oh Lord that’s what

we need it’ll heal our families it’ll

burn out addictions and habits and give

deliverance to people who’ve got demons

clinging on to them there’s something

about the fire of God that makes the

snake run Honolulu Jeremiah had a

Pentecostal fever he said I’ve got the

word in me and it’s like a fire shut up

in my bones he was a preacher running a

temperature

Jeremiah 5:14 he said I will make my

words in your mouth a fire we need the

tongues of fire that Acts chapter 2

talked about the disciples on the road

to Emmaus had holy heartburn when they

talked with Jesus they said did not our

hearts burn within us as he spoke the

words of life we got a lot of hotheads

but we need some hot hearts holy

heartburn

David the Bible said had a band of men

whose hearts God had touched a band of

men whose hearts God has touched have I

become too calloused have I been in this

too long have I become has it become too

commonplace that God can’t touch my

heart anymore that God can’t move me

anymore that God can’t change and

transform me anymore

isaiah got a touch of fire and the angel

flew and took a live coal from off the

altar of heaven in isaiah 6 and he

touched his lips and he had blazing lips

and he said here am I send me

john the baptists had the fire and

people came from the cathedrals to the

caves to hear him preach the fire is

necessary for growth in California where

the great redwood trees grow they had a

problem some years ago because they were

becoming extinct Rangers were so careful

to put fires out when Lightning would

strike they would quickly be on it

through modern technology and they could

put the fires out quicker and quicker

and quicker and the fire could not burn

the crust straight that the crustacean

off of the seeds and the seeds couldn’t

germinate and therefore new trees were

not springing up I want you to

understand what I’m saying

before the Park Rangers had all the

technology and all the modern things

that they had Lightning would strike in

the forest and start a fire and that

fire would burn and get hotter and

hotter and hotter in any of the seeds

that had fallen the the fire would get

so hot that it would burn the crust the

crustacean off of that seed the

callousness the hardness of that sea

would would be burned off and then that

seed would germinate and a new crop and

a new generation of redwoods would come

up but when they started putting the

fire out and not letting it burn hot

notice the next generation of trees were

too hard-hearted they tried to control

the fire and manipulate the fire and

some have grown cold and calloused and

allowed in crustation to grow around

your heart and around your soul but if

we will let the fire fall again it can

burn the shell of coldness it can burn

the shell of worldliness it can burn the

shell of indifference off of our heart

and if we get on fire our children will

get on fire and our children’s children

would get on fire when they used to go

to the spirit field Pentecostal churches

back when I was a child people used to

come just to see what was gonna happen

on Sunday night anybody would know what

I’m talking about people would just come

just is the best show in town you never

knew when somebody was gonna run into

the wall you never knew when somebody

was gonna break out and dance you never

knew and it was so exciting if people

come to church now at a Pentecostal

church they’ll be bored out of their

mind what happens when the fire falls

notice lastly the people acknowledge God

the people fell on their faces oh and

they said the Lord he is God

the fear of the Lord came to him the

Lord he is God they acknowledge God in

Acts chapter 2 in verse 37 the Bible

said that when Peter preached and

tongues of fire came upon the hundred

and twenty in the upper room and they

stepped out into the streets and started

preaching

and speaking in languages they had not

learned but every man heard them speak

in their own foreign language and the

Bible said that they were pricked in

their hearts and said what must we do

conviction comes when a manifestation of

God’s holy fire begins to fall in a

church and in a ministry what convicted

you how many of you remember when you

were convicted do you ever get convicted

of sin I’m afraid that in so many

churches were trying so much to to to to

make the world comfortable that that if

we’re not careful we forget that we

can’t change nobody by being there buddy

salvation is a supernatural thing in it

you must be born again you must be born

again and you can’t do that here talk in

the head it takes the Holy Spirit taking

a rotten Center and washing him in the

blood and cleansing him and transforming

him and giving him a brand new life come

on we what can wash away my sins nothing

but the blood of Jesus and the Holy

Spirit doing his work this thing was

born in the fire is sustained by the

fire

and today ashes won’t do we are people

of the fire stir up the gift fan the

funny awaken your hearts fall on your

faces cry out to God ask him for the

fire to fall in your family ask him for

the fire to fall in your life ask him

for the fire everybody’s standing feet

please ask him for the fire ask him for

the fire

you got it you got something you can’t

conquer you get the fire and the fire

will take it over

reach over and put your hand on

someone’s shoulder right now and pray

for them Lord I ask you for miracles

signs and wonders and healings all over

this room those streaming on no man can

heal you if you get healed it won’t be

because of a man that touched you it

will be that that person was a vessel

that the Holy Spirit could work through

and all glory goes to Jesus Christ but

right now I just feel the authority of

the Lord to say to sickness and disease

go but he was wounded Jesus Christ for

our transgressions bruised for our

iniquities the chastisement of our peace

was upon him and by His stripes were

healed

we’re healed physically we’re healed

mentally

we’re healed emotionally from trauma

were healed relationally marriages homes

families were healed from addictions and

bondages were healed by His stripes

Jesus we thank you for it feel every

vessel with the Holy Spirit in this

church until their cup runs over I thank

you for I praise you for

and I thank you for the fire may we not

just get a touch on Wednesday night but

maybe fire burn all week and all of our

lives let us be like that burning bush

that Moses saw it burned but was not

consumed in Jesus mighty name how many

of you receive right now the ministry

and the work of the Holy Ghost in your

life and in your body and in your family

and in this church let’s just clap our

hands in honor in praise and

appreciation hold bless alone every head

bowed every eye closed if you’re in this

room tonight you would say pastor

Franklin while you preached I felt that

I’ve been pricked in my heart I felt

something saying you’re not right with

God and you need to be I need that kind

of fire in my life I need that kind of

passion the zeal of God’s house has

eaten me up Jesus would say I’m a dying

flame and I need the fire pray for me I

need to get my sins under the blood of

Jesus Christ pray for me I need a change

a transformation that only God can do

pray for me not gonna make you come down

tonight or anything we don’t I’m gonna

pray for you right now where you are but

he never comes where he’s not invited if

I’m talking to you raise your hand high

and quick high and quick all over this

room that’s beautiful beautiful hands

all over this room it’s amazing really

look around you and if you see someone

with her hand raised gently lay your

hand on their shoulders and

activesupport

and those hands represent all kinds of

things that the Holy Spirit knows how to

bring freedom and peace and joy in the

midst of tears and sorrow and

hopelessness in some cases father

everybody pray this prayer father in

Jesus name I receive what Jesus Christ

did on the cross I believe in him I

believe he’s the son of God I believe he

died and rose again I believe it and

tonight I receive the gift of salvation

I did not earn it I will never be good

enough but by the blood of Jesus I am

forgiven I am righteous I am accepted I

am restored back to favor and I am a

candidate for more of the fight and more

of the holy spirit than I’ve ever had in
