Book excerpt: FIRE IS ONE OF THE FOUR MAJOR ELEMENTS KNOWN TO EXIST ON EARTH. OTHERS INCLUDE: AIR, WATER, AND DUST. HOWEVER, FIRE OCCUPIES THE MOST SIGNIFICANT POSITION AMONG THE REST FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SACRED RELIGIOUS WORSHIP WHERE IT IS BELIEVED TO REPRESENT THE PRESENCE OF GOD. ALSO, BECAUSE OF THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT FIRE PLAYS IN THE AREA OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE, ANYONE WHO DESIRES ACCESS TO SUPERNATURAL POWER MUST HAVE A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FIRE AND ITS SYMBOLISM, AND BE SPIRITUALLY BAPTIZED BY FIRE. BAPTISM BY GODLY FIRE ENDOWS CHILDREN OF GOD WITH SUPERNATURAL AUTHORITY AND ENABLES THEM TO DO EXPLOITS FOR HIM. SO, THIS BAPTISM BY FIRE IS A PRIVILEGE AND GREAT BLESSING TO THE BODY OF CHRIST. THE CONTEMPOARY CHURCH NEEDS BELIEVERS, LIKE MOSES AND ELIJAH, WHOSE HEARTS “BURNED” WITH THIS SPIRITUAL FIRE. IT DISTINGUISHES A BELIEVER FOR SERVICE IN THE KINGDOM WHERE GOD, THE SUPREME JUDGE THAT IS “A CONSUMING FIRE”, IS ALSO THE GOD OF MERCY AND GRACE, WHO SAVES THE PENITENT. THIS IS A MYSTERY THAT THIS BOOK TRIES TO UNRAVEL.
