THE CURE FOR STRANGE FIRE
Strange fire occurred in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament, and even in our days. What is the cure for strange fire?
It is not my goal to name names here, for we know from the Word of God that it is prophesied, and I will not call the Bible a liar, that there will be strange fire in the last days, as never before...
We are told that 'seducing spirits and doctrines of devils' would abound. Jude, Peter, Paul, John, and the Lord all prophesied of false prophets, false christs, and polluted churches of the last days. So, if anyone doubts that there is 'strange fire' in the last days, they need to get out of the comic books, and read the Bible.
We do need to know, we need to be sure we are not tainted with that strange fire, for God still judges strange fire.
We need, to be cured of strange fire a LIVE COAL OF FIRE.
Notice the words in Isaiah.
Isaiah 6:5-7 (KJV)
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
When Isaiah confessed his uncleanliness in words spoken, a seraphim brought from God a coal of fire to put upon Isaiahs lips. The fire removed the sin of Isaiah, cleansing the filth that had flowed from his lips previously. The strange fire worship and living of the Nadab and Abihus of today, of the Simon magus of today, of the Ananias and Sapphiras of today, need a live coal of true fire, to cleanse the sins.
Isaiahs sin was a lip and tongue sin. There is no other member of the body that is easily encouraged to sin. The strange fire in the heart of Nadab and Abihu was revealed in their words. The strange fire in Simon magus was revealed in his words. The strange fire in Ananias and Sapphira was revealed in their words. So, when we come to God for cleansing, so we will not be judged someday for the strange fire, we need to have our lips and words cleansed, forgiven.
For instance, David had once proclaimed All men are liars. (Psalms 106:2), and unfortunately, at sometime in every life that is quite an unfortunate truth. Our lips, all of ours have, sinned.
Peter had a self assertive tongue. He listened to the Lords description of how he would fail the Lord, and Peter proclaimed not I. That lie was unintentional, but was a prideful, and was blasphemous to assert that Jesus had told an untruth.
Nebuchadnezzar had a proud tongue, and proclaimed Is not this the great Babylon which I built." (Daniel 4:30)
Paul spoke of the gossiping tongues of some. "And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. (1 Timothy 5:13)
Gideon had a questioning tongue of doubt. "And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of...?" (Judges 6:12-13)
Jonah had a fiery tongue of temper. "But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. And he prayed... I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God,... Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live..." (Jonah 4:1-3)
Those who are using strange fire are revealed by their words. We can read messages on Christian forums, we can read sermons in books, and in magazines, we can listen to sermons in person or on the media, and by the words we read and hear, we can identify strange fire in the hearts of some.
Words reveal, unveil the inner person, and strange fire if it is within. The words that revealed the strange fire sin, need cleansed when we come to the Lord in repentance. We are commanded to put off the filthy talk from our lives.
Colossians 3:8-10 (KJV)
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Putting on the new man, the one with real fire is accompanied with a cleansing of the lips, of the tongue.
Isaiah had probably had filthy words, lying words, blasphemous words, doubting words, angry words, etc. He felt unclean due to the horrible words that had flowed through his lips. It took the fiery coals, to spiritually cleanse his lips so he would be able to be the prophet that God wanted him to become.
We want to be prophetic for the Lord, spokespersons for the Lord in these last days, so that many would come to the Lord.
We need a fiery cleansing.
