God Moves Through Obedience
-
Who do you think you are that you’ve got God all figured up and put in a box and he can’t move like he wants to move? I’m here to tell you when his fire falls, sometimes it’s an out of control fire. It’ll make you dance. It’ll make you shout. It’ll make you weep. It’ll make you talk in tongues.
-
It’ll make you say, “Glory to God.” If you’ve never said, “Glory to God. If you want it, if you want it, you have to build the altar. You have to put the sacrifice of praise. Amen. On that altar, and I want that fire. I want that fire to hit another generation. I want that fire to burn so deep in this church that the sparks start spreading all over Atlanta and all over the nation, all over the world.

Am I just a dreamer or do you believe that it’s God’s will for the fire to fall again? Who’s a candidate who needs to kill some rats in the sewer of your soul? [Applause] Because if you let it, a fire will go out. Proverbs 26 said, “Put wood on the fire. Put wood on the fire. Put wood on the fire. Where there is wood, no wood, the fire goes out.
-
There you go. If you don’t have any fire, it’s cost you’re not putting wood on it. Prayer is wood. Praise is wood. Giving is wood. Loving God, witnessing is wood. Standing against temptation, that’s the wood on the fire. You say, “When nobody saw it, God saw it.” When you stop cussing, that’s wood on the fire.
-
When you stop acting like the world, that’s wood on the fire. When you start honoring your father and your mother, that’s wood on the fire. When you start coming to church when you feel like it or you don’t, that’s wood on the fire. I’m preaching good. Y’all want me to hurry up so you can get to the buffet? The only fire in most churches is in the church kitchen.
-
We’re going to get some in here. Praise God. Yes, we a good line. Hallelujah. Anybody want fire? Anybody in the younger generation want fire? I want a passion. I want a vision. I want a dream. I want a calling. I’m going to live for God. I’m going to live on fire. Not going to be a lukewarm Christian. Not going to be a lukewarm preacher.
