Strange Fire

Numbers 26:61 (KJV)

[61] And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD.

Strange Fire-

Not What Was Requested…

Fire Is Fire Right?

WRONG-

⁃ Looks The Same

⁃ Feels The Same

But Where It Came From Makes A Difference!

Worship…

⁃ It Looks the Same

⁃ It Sounds the Same

⁃ It (Even) Feels the Same

The Incense (Worship) Is Not The Problem!

IT’S THE FIRE-

The Propellant-the Fire That Sends the Incense (Worship) Up, Toward God!

Strange Fire is Fire That Was Not Taken Off The Altar of Sacrifice!

The Place of a Death and Acceptance of God…

If There Is No Fire on Your Altar of Sacrifice-

Please Do Not Substitute “Strange Fire”

When Offering Up Worship (Incense)….

1 Peter 4:11

Breakfast is Served

Deuteronomy 11:26 (KJV)

[26] ¶ Behold, I set before you this day

*a blessing and a curse;

They say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

It is the first thing served to your body for the day!

The Lord also serves up the first thing of the day.

⁃ Manna was served New every morning

⁃ Mercies are new every morning

And yet one thing is for certain today!

God has set before us a choice:

“A Blessing and A Curse”

The devil would lie to you and would have you to think you have no choice!

That Life is random and uncertain.

But God has set before us a choice!

God has Purpose and Direction!

But the choice is ours!

A Blessing and A Curse…

What will you choose today?

1 Peter 4:11

Why God Hides Truth

Luke 8:10 (KJV)

[10] And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

*Why Would God (Hide) A Message of Truth?

God’s (Selective Program)-

• Is Not Based on DNA

• Is Not Based on Pedigree

• Is Not Based on Intelligence

• Is Not Based on Prophecy

But Rather…

*On The Individual’s Acceptance and Openness of Receiving-TRUTH

In Other-words-

• If You Don’t See

• If You Don’t Understand

The Fault Is Yours…

Because-You wouldn’t  do what’s necessary in preparing your Heart to Receive the Seed (the Word)!

So…If Its Hid and You Don’t See or If You Hear and Don’t Understand-

It’s Your Fault-

TRUTH is not an Entitlement

But rather a Gift!

1 Peter 4:11

Who will love (Him) most?

Luke 7:41-43 (KJV)

[41] There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

[42] And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, *which of them will love him most?

It Seems Apparent That There Are Different Levels of Adoration and Love…

• Some Are Content With Little…

• Some Never Feel Content…

While (the Content) Feel Good With What They Offer the Lord

(Others) Feel Like They Could Never Repay Him…

So The Outcome is Really Based on The Forgiveness-

One Feels Forgiven of (50 pence)

While the Other Feels Forgiven of (500 pence)

God Has Forgiven Us All-

Are You a 50 Pence-er or A 500?

It’s Evident In Your Service to (Him)…

My Finest Moments

Psalms 63:2 (KJV)

[2] To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Power and Glory-

. Not In My Accomplishments

. Not In My Relationships

. Not In My Wealth

. Not In My Talent

. Not in My Intellect

My Finest Moments and Memories-

Are What I Have Experienced in Church!

*The House of God

*In His Sanctuary

Revelations and Powerful

Life Changing Events I Have Seen-

Was in The Sanctuary...

If This Is The Case-

. Where Then Should I Spend More Time?

. Where Then Should I Desire to Be?

My Finest Moments Are Spiritual

Not Carnal!

My Finest Moments-

Are Seeing Jesus (at) The Sanctuary-

Where Are Yours?

It May very well be the reason you are not happy or feel fulfilled!

1 Peter 4:11

The Cavalry is Coming

Psalms 57:3 (KJV)

[3] He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah.

God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

Surrounded and Outnumbered-

The Enemy is Savoring His Final Blow...

Awaiting the Inevitable Defeat,

Suddenly a Trumpet Sounds in the Distance!

The Cavalry is Coming!

The Enemy Would Swallow Me Up-

Yet from Heaven Help Has Arrived!

Selah- Also Means to Pause...

It's Not Over Yet- Mercy and Truth Have Just Arrived!

*Pause from the Battle a Moment and Listen-

Is That a Distant Trumpet I Hear?

The Cavalry is Coming...

God's Replacement Program

Proverbs 11:8 (KJV)

[8] The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

The Scripture Does Not Say

You Will Not Have Trouble-

But That God Will Deliver The Righteous (from) That Place Called "Trouble"

And (REPLACE) You With a Wicked Person!

Now (if) You Are the Wicked-

You Will Spend Your Life Being

Transported to Replace A Righteous Person's Trouble!

Delivered Out or A Replacement for?

The Choice Is Still Yours-

Righteous vs. Wicked...
