Fire From Off the Alter and Being the Light

Fire From Off the Alter by Aaron Bounds (Teen Session- Friday)
Leviticus 9:24 (24And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.)
Matthew 3:11 (11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:)
I wanna be the one used by God, that is my passion. Passion will turn to purpose. God will give me the power to do what He has called me to do!
Power will result from the burnt sacrifice in my life. I will have to sacrifice for the high calling of God in my life. Passion for the lost souls of my city will be birthed from an alter. We are here to reach the lost and dying of this world, so I must have a passion for the lost!
Romans 12:1-2 (1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.)
Until I begin to put myself and my time on the alter for God, fire from Heaven will not fall.
The alter of the old days was designed to carry and to move, so should out fire be. It needs to be carried to a place of purpose.

Being the Light by Paul Pamer (General Session: Friday)
Genisis 1:3 (3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.)
God had a solution to the darkness! Light is always the answer to the darkness!
John 1:1 (1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.)
John 1:4-5 (4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.)
John 1:14 (14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.)
God robed Himself and flesh and became the light of the world. That same light lives and shines today.
Matthew 5:14 (14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.)
I am the light in this dark world. I am the solution to my problem.
There are 3 attributes of light:
  1. Light eliminates darkness. Darkness- the absence of light. Darkness only exist when light allows it.
  2. Light always has to be moving. The moment it stops moving, it ceases to be light. Mark 16:15 (15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.) As the light of the world, we must keep moving to reach them.
  3. Light is the transfer of energy. Acts 2:2-4 (2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.  3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
     4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.) I need a transfer of energy/refilling of the Holy Ghost every single day!!!
