The Bible contains the life of God. Every written word in the Bible brings forth life in the lives of people. No word of God shall return void. Therefore you would think that Christians spend a lot of time in the Bible and listen to the words of God and obey the words of God and apply them into their lives. Jedoch, the practice shows something else. This is mainly because God’s Word is confronting and reveals and judges the works of the old man. The Word is clear about Gottes Gedanken Und Seine Wege and what God likes and dislikes. But the people are proud and rebel and don’t want to submit to the Word and therefore they don’t do what the Word says, because they still love themselves and love the works and life of the old man. Therefore they are not willing to give up their own lives in the world and schieb den alten Mann ab and his works and therefore they avoid the Word. Because God’s Word is a consuming fire that devours the nature and works of the old man. The Word means life to the new man, but death to the old man.
Gott ist ein verzehrendes Feuer
Passt auf euch auf, damit ihr den Bund des Herrn, eures Gottes, nicht vergesst, which He made with you, und mache dir ein geschnitztes Bild, oder das Abbild einer Sache, was der Herr, dein Gott, dir verboten hat. Denn der Herr, dein Gott, ist ein verzehrendes Feuer, sogar ein eifersüchtiger Gott (Deuteronomium 4:23-24)
Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, Lassen Sie uns Gnade haben, wobei wir Gott akzeptabel mit Ehrfurcht und göttlicher Angst dienen können: Denn unser Gott ist ein verzehrendes Feuer (hebräisch 12:28-29)
God is a holy and righteous God. The Word says that the Lord God is a consuming fire that deals with the wickedness; the iniquities and sins of man. The fire has many symbolic meanings in the Bible, including the holiness and righteousness of God.
God loved His people and revealed His will and nature to them by giving the law to Moses. His Word set His people apart from the Gentiles, der zur Welt gehörte.
As long as they kept the law, the people of God restrained themselves from engaging in the works of the Gentiles, which were evil in the eyes of the Lord.
God led His people during the day in a pillar of cloud and during the night in a pillar of fire. God protected His people and went before them as a consuming fire and brought the pagan nations down and delivered them into their hands.
God delivered them into their hands, not because of the righteousness of His people but because of the wickedness of the pagan nations. And so God was a consuming fire for the Gentiles (Oh. Exodus 13:21, Deuteronomium 9:1-6).
Aber leider, God’s people didn’t always listen to His voice. Many times they deviated from Seine Gebote and statutes and did all those wicked things, which the Lord God had forbidden His people. And so His people engaged in the evil works, die für Gott ein Gräuel waren
Since God is a God of His Word, He dealt with the proud and rebels of His people, who had become His adversaries through their works, according to His Word (Oh. Jesaja 30:27-30, Jeremia 4:4).
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, spricht der Herr. They have belied the Lord, und sagte, It is not He; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: Und die Propheten werden zu Wind werden, und das Wort ist nicht in ihnen: So soll es ihnen geschehen. Darum also spricht der Herr, der Gott der Heerscharen, Weil ihr dieses Wort sprecht, erblicken, Ich werde meine Worte in deinem Mund zum Feuer bringen, und dieses Volk Holz, und es wird sie verschlingen (Jeremia 5:11-14)
Ist mein Wort nicht wie ein Feuer?? spricht der Herr; und wie ein Hammer, der den Felsen in Stücke bricht? (Jeremia 23:29)
God’s Word is a consuming Fire
But who may abide the day of His coming? and who shall stand when He appears? for He is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ Seife: And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. (Maleachi 3:2-4)
Jesus, der Sohn Gottes, is the living Word and the reflection of God, who came in the Ebenbild des Menschen zur Erde.
As God was a consuming fire, so Jesus was also a consuming fire. Because Jesus preached the truth and righteousness of God.
Jesus spoke the words of God, called the people to Buße and manifested the Kingdom of God on earth. Whereby Jesus exposed the lies and the works of the devil in the lives of people and destroyed them.
But not everyone was excited about the coming of Jesus to the earth, since Jesus exposed the lies and the works of the devil and dealt with the iniquities and sins of the alter fleischlicher Mann.
Für sie, who had a fear for God and loved His words, Jesus was a living Stone; a Rock, who possessed the living water.
Aber zu denen, who loved themselves and the world, Jesus was a Stone of stumbling (Lesen Sie auch: Jesus; a precious Cornerstone or a Stone of stumbling?)
Jesus sent fire on the earth
Ich bin gekommen, um Feuer auf die Erde zu schicken; und was werde ich, wenn es schon angezündet ist? Aber ich habe eine Taufe, mit der ich mich taufen lassen kann; Und wie bin ich gestrichen, bis es erreicht ist?! Nehmen wir an, ich bin gekommen, um Frieden auf Erden zu geben? Ich sage Ihnen, Nein; sondern Spaltung: Denn von nun an sind fünf in einem Haus geteilt, Drei gegen zwei, und zwei gegen drei. (Lukas 12:49-52)
Although Jesus didn’t come to the earth to judge the world, because it was not HIs time to judge, Jesus testified that their works were evil.
Therefore the sons of the devil (the workers of iniquity) wanted to get rid of Jesus and extinguish the Light, so that they could continue their evil works and their lives in darkness, without any interference and condemnation.
The same thing happens today. Es gibt viele, who belong to the world and want to extinguish the lights, that shine in the darkness. And so they wrap a lie into a half-truth, so that the darkness can enter unnoticed in the lives of believers. As soon as the darkness enters, it will proliferate. First in the life of the believer, then in the lives of other believers, causing the Church to be affected and the Light to be extinguished.
The Holy Spirit is a consuming fire
Und als der Tag der Pfingsten voll gekommen war, Sie waren alle einmütig an einem Ort. Und plötzlich ertönte ein Geräusch vom Himmel wie von einem rauschenden, mächtigen Wind, und es erfüllte das ganze Haus, in dem sie saßen. Und da erschienen ihnen gespaltene Zungen wie aus Feuer, und es saß auf jedem von ihnen. Und sie waren alle mit dem Heiligen Geist erfüllt, und fing an, mit anderen Zungen zu reden, Als der Geist ihnen Äußerung gab (Handlungen 2:1-4)
Just like God and Jesus are a consuming fire, the Holy Spirit is also a consuming fire. Because on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended from heaven and filled the house, where all the disciples of Jesus were gathered together and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, that sat upon each of them. In diesem Moment, all the disciples, who were present in the upper room were filled with the Holy Spirit of God.
The Holy Spirit took His place in the lives of the new creation and gave them tongues like as of fire, that preached the truth and righteousness of God.
The disciples had become servants of righteousness; flaming fires, who preached the wonderful works of God and His righteousness and called the people, wer gehörte zu Gottes Volk, Zu Buße.
Because of the tongues of fire, the people were pricked in their hearts and 3000 souls repented and were baptized and received the Holy Spirit of God on the day of Pentecost
Diese, who have the Holy Spirit and yield themselves to God’s Word and obey His commandments, shall become just like Jesus.
They shall be just like Jesus, who sent fire on the earth, bring the truth and righteousness of God to the earth. Because of their righteousness in Christ and their righteous walk, they will expose the wickedness of the world and testify that her works are evil.
Der Heilige Geist, Der Geist der Wahrheit, wer in ihnen wohnt, shall testify of Jesus Christ and reprove the world of sin, der Gerechtigkeit, and of judgment because of the perfekte Arbeit von Jesus Christus.
The new man shall call sinners to repentance and the removal of sin, so that they will no longer be bound to the kingdom of darkness and the death, but shall live in freedom in Christ in the Kingdom of God.
God’s Word devours the old man
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another (Markieren 9:49-50)
The Holy Spirit speaks the same words of God, which Jesus spoke to the people and are written in the Bible. Diese, who belong to Jesus and listen to His words, shall obey His words and speak His words shall remain in His love.
God’s Word is a Spiegel to them and shows them, wer sie sind in Jesus Christus.
Although God’s Word is a Mirror for the new man, at the same time God’s. Word is a spiritual Sword, that divides spirit and soul and a consuming fire that devours the old man.
Because although man has become a new creation in Jesus Christ in the spiritual realm and has received His nature, this transformation must become visible in the natural realm.
Therefore the new man shall go through the process of sanctification and shall be purified and refined by the words of God, so that the works and remnants of the old man will be devoured by the words of God and only the new man remains.
God’s Word is clear and reveals the Frucht des Geistes and the works of the flesh and confronts the old man with his works. In diesem Moment, a person has a choice to obey the Word and remove these carnal works, so that the person will be cleansed and sanctified or a person can disobey the Word and reject the Word and obey the flesh and keep doing these carnal works (Lesen Sie auch: A reprobate mind).
Wisset nicht, dass die Ungerechten das Reich Gottes nicht erben werden? Lass dich nicht täuschen: weder Unzüchtige, noch Götzendiener, noch Ehebrecher, noch verweichlicht, noch Missbrauchstäter gegenüber der Menschheit (homosexual practices), Und auch nicht Diebe, noch habsüchtig, noch Trunkenbolde, noch Schmäher, noch Erpresser, das Reich Gottes erben (1 Korinther 6:9-10).
Jetzt sind die Werke des Fleisches offenbar, Welche sind das?; Ehebruch, Unzucht, Unreinheit, Lüsternheit, Götzendienst, Hexerei, Hass, Varianz, Emulationen, Zorn, Streit, Aufruhr, Häresien, Neidungen, Morde, Trunkenheit, Feierlichkeiten, und dergleichen: von dem, was ich dir vorher erzähle, wie ich euch auch schon früher gesagt habe, dass diejenigen, die solche Dinge tun, das Reich Gottes nicht erben werden (Galater 5:19-21)
Demütigt daher eure Mitglieder, die auf der Erde sind; Unzucht, Unreinheit, übermäßige Zuneigung, böse Begierde, und Habgier, Das ist Götzendienst: Für welche Dinge’ Damit der Zorn Gottes über die Kinder des Ungehorsams kommt: In dem seid ihr auch einige Zeit spazieren gegangen, als ihr darin lebtet. Aber nun habt ihr auch das alles aufgeschoben; Wut, Zorn, Bosheit, Blasphemie, Dreckige Kommunikation aus Ihrem Mund. Lüge nicht einander an, da ihr den alten Mann mit seinen Taten verärgert habt (Kolosser 3:5-10)
Aber wir wissen, dass das Gesetz gut ist, wenn ein Mann es rechtmäßig nutzt; Das wissend, dass das Gesetz nicht für einen gerechten Menschen gemacht ist, aber für die Gesetzlosen und Ungehorsamen, für die Gottlosen und für die Sünder, für unheilig und profan, für Vatermörder und Müttermörder, für Totschläger, Für Hurenmacher, für diejenigen, die sich mit der Menschheit verunreinigen (homosexual practices), für Männerdiebe, für Lügner, für Meineidige, und wenn es sonst noch etwas gibt, das der gesunden Lehre widerspricht; Nach dem herrlichen Evangelium des gesegneten Gottes, die meinem Vertrauen verpflichtet war (1 Timotheus 1:8-11)
The words of the devil devour the new man
Since the devil knows how powerful God’s Word is and what the words of God do in people’s lives, and he doesn’t want to lose his power in the lives of people and don’t want his kingdom to be robbed, he steals and kills the words of God in the lives of believers.
The devil will do anything to keep believers far away from the Bible; the Word of God as possible. Because God’s Word reveals the truth of God and exposes the lies of the devil.
Therefore the devil keeps them busy and creates all kinds of distractions and Unterhaltung, which ensures that a person spends all his/her precious time on the things of this world; his kingdom, instead of the Word and the things of the Kingdom of God.
He feeds them with his entertainment, (Sozial)media and education, and via the senses, he takes possession of the minds of people.
He dominates their mind with his words, which are spoken by his servants, but contradict the words of God, and cause believers to doubt the words of God and destroy the seed of God in the lives of people
The devil sows corrupt seed; lies in the lives of people and brings forth destruction in the lives of people. And so the devil destroys and devours many lives on earth and leads them to the Abgrund.
If you don’t listen to God’s Word and don’t obey the words of God and don’t aufschieben Der alte Mann (Fleisch) and devour his works, but instead listen to the words of the devil and obey them, the devil shall devour the new man through your life as the old man.
If you don’t devour your flesh through God’s Word, but sow in your flesh, then eventually you flesh shall devour you. Da das Wort sagt, that if you sow in your flesh, you will reap corruption (Galater 6:7-8)
Therefore it is necessary to dethrone the devil as head in your life. How to do that? By not listening to him and by not doing his will and not obeying his words. Don’t give in to your carnal lusts and desires, but take authority over them and reign over your flesh.
Jesus shall baptize every person
Ich taufe dich tatsächlich mit Wasser zur Buße: aber wer nach mir kommt, ist mächtiger als ich, dessen Schuhe ich nicht würdig bin, zu tragen: Er wird euch mit dem Heiligen Geist taufen, und mit Feuer: Whose fan is in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:11-12, Lu 3:16-17).
Every born again believer shall go through the process of sanctification and will be purified with the holy fire through the Word and His Spirit during his/her life on earth. So that the new man arises and becomes visible and the old man dies.
Jesus; the Word shall baptize every person with fire and the people may decide themselves when this happens; during life on earth or on the Day of Judgment.
A person can choose to believe and yield to Jesus Christ and repent, become born again and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, Who will purify the person with His holy fire (the truth and righteousness of God) which shall devour the old man, or a person can choose to reject Jesus Christ and stay the old man and be baptist on the Day of Judgment by Jesus; the Word with fire in the eternal lake of fire.
„Sei das Salz der Erde.“’
