When I ministered at a prayer conference in Chicago a man communicated to his wife that he was seeing flames on top of the building and did not understand why. That was also the night that we experienced a powerful angelic invasion.
The Bible characterizes God in both the Old and New Testaments as a “consuming fire”. He is a consuming fire, the Bible says, because He is a jealous God and will not share His glory with worthless idols. He is perfectly jealous for our hearts in this regard because our hearts rightfully belong to Him. When His glory fire comes, it comes to consume whatever stands in the way of your wholehearted devotion toward Him.
God's glory fire can also fall from heaven to either consume or ignite something or someone. Being baptized with fire, means to be fully immersed in, saturated with, and consumed by His fire. When the fire of His glory falls upon you, He is making a point with your life. Your life has been made a sacrifice unto Him, and you are to live from that moment on ignited as a carrier of glory fire.
Glory carriers must be purified continuously with His fire. Transformation is ongoing. It is not a one-time encounter and immersion in the fire of His glory, but many encounters. We are made to carry His glory fire, and we were made for holiness, only we cannot do either on our own. It is the outflow of an intimate heart relationship with the Holy Spirit, the Source of all holiness, as we share our lives with Him.
