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 they’re all over this room
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
my life here’s my weakness
