God’s presence is like a fire (Heb 12:29).  
God’s Word is like a fire (Jer 23:29)  
The Holy Spirit is like a fire (Mt 3:11; Acts 2:3). 

1. Fire brings light - 
 How can we be the world’s light without a flame?

2. Fire brings heat - 
God wants you to live radiating His love. 

3. Fire purges - 
God’s fire purifies your heart. 

4. Fire needs fuel - 
God may start the fire within you, but you must keep it going by your habits.

5. Fire spreads - 
When you catch on fire for Jesus, those around you get affected. 

6. Fire can be extinguished - 
Bad habits and wrong people can put out God's fire within you. 

7. Fire produces smoke - 
When you get on fire for God, it can produce criticism and attract opposition.

8. Fire leaves ashes - 
Ashes are a sign that your fire is no longer there, and only the memories of how you once loved God remain.

The Hut's On Fire

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a little story about faith and the Providence of God, that I found.  I am sharing this to you to help you in your walk with God.


They only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Everyday he scanned the horizon for help, but none seem forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of Driftwood, to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost! He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger!  He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?" 


Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary  man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied!

It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God!

Visions Of Hell

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This is a vision of hell that was told by Brother Thomas Junk, It was recorded by William J Seymour, and his newsletter of the Azusa Street Mission, in Los Angeles, California, in 1906.


A sister who has been baptized with the Holy Ghost, was at a church where the evangelist denounced the works of Grace, the baptism with the Holy Ghost and the gift of tongues. That evening she says the Lord showed her a vision of an open hill just back of the pulpit, with the awful, lurid flames coming up, and people sitting around the altar with their feet hanging over into the open hell, unconscious of their condition.

Brother Thomas Junk, while in Oakland, had a vision of hell. He seemed to leave his body and was taken to the top of Knob Hill, in the midst of the ruins of San Francisco. The Savior commanded him, "Son of man, speak." As soon as he spoke, the ground at his feet parted and moved from him, disclosing a liquid fire, like molten iron, with demons and men and women in flames. 


He says there came to him an awful fume of burning sulfur and he heard the screams of the damned, which were heart-rending. All around the edges of the great opening, people were walking, unconscious of the open pit, and a continual stream of them were falling into the lake of fire. He beheld them splashing into the fire, and heard the laugh of demons as each struck the fire.

While beholding all this, he saw a woman he had known for some time, a professor of holiness and one who took a prominent part in testimony in prayer, running towards the opening, looking too high to see it. She dashed right over into the flames, and a shout went up from the demons, with such roars of laughter as he had never heard before.


Brother Junk had been an infidel, and since his conversion could not believe the scripture statements concerning hell, and had been teaching that the sufferings of the lost would be remorse and spiritual distress, but not fire. As he looked on the scene, Jesus Christ told him to preach a hell of fire, just as it is in the Word of God and he promised to do so.

But next Sabbath that professor of holiness was in the meeting as an opposer, insisting that she was filled with the Holy Ghost, but that his work was the work of seducing spirits and of the doctrine of devils.

The above incidents are taken from the Household of God, and many will remember Brother Junk, who was with us in Los Angeles.
