"Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord…” “Then I said, ‘I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name.’ But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not.” (Jeremiah 20:9) "Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord…” (Jeremiah 23:29)

How Is God’s Word Like Fire? God’s Word gives light (Psa.119:105; Acts 26:12-20). God’s Word comforts us and provides warmth (Psa.119:50). God’s Word penetrates (Heb.4:12; Eph.6:17; Acts 2:37; 7:54). God’s Word purifies (John 15:3; Eph.5:25-27; 1 Pet.1:22). God’s Word destroys (2 Thess.1:7-9).

God’s Word Needs To Burn Within Us! This is the teaching of Scripture itself! The Bible Teaches This Explicitly Psalm 119:11 James 1:21 Colossians 3:16 The Bible Teaches This Implicitly Psalm 1:1-2 Job 23:12 “But His word was in my heart like a burning fire…”

Do You Want This Fire In Your Life? Three Things Are Prescribed In the Scriptures: (1) You must study God’s Word regularly (Psa.1:1-2). (2) You must commit God’s Word to memory (Psa.119:93). (3) You must submit your life to God’s Word (Deut.13:4; Matt.22:37).
