Be Ignitable
Breathe oxygen – holy spirit
John 20:22 ESV 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
To be ignitable, we need oxygen. In kindling a fire, we often have to add oxygen through the blowing of air into the mixture of the fuel and the heat. With enough oxygen, enough heat, and enough fuel, a chemical reaction will occur as combustion begins to burn.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is different than the indwelling or baptism of the Spirit. Being filled with the Spirit is the power that Christ has promised to all those who put their faith in Him. You see this as evident in Acts 2 where at Pentecost all in the house was filled with the Spirit.
Acts 2:1-4 NIV
2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
In 2 Peter 1:21 we are given an explanation on how the Spirit often works in those who follow God.
2 Peter 1:21 NIV
21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Notice the words being carried by the Holy Spirit. This word in Greek is translated as,
5342. pheró
Strong's Concordance
Definition: to bear, carry, bring forth
Usage: I carry, bear, bring; I conduct, lead; perhaps: I make publicly known.
The Holy Spirit carries, leads, brings, you now bear the seal of the Spirit and the Spirit will move in both private and public in order for God’s will to be done in the follower of Christ. We carry the very breathe of God in our lungs that keeps us alive as long as God chooses to sustain us.
Genesis 2:7
New International Version
7 Then the Lord God formed a man[a] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
The very Words of God in the Bible are considered life giving and God breathed. The Words themselves being life but due to our sin we realize we are dead and in need of saving.
2 Timothy 3:16
New International Version
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
In Ephesians 4:13-15, we must think of being carried by the Spirit like a sailboat in the sea. The sails must be filled by the wind in order to move the vessel. In order to reach the desired destination, the rudder must be pointed in the same direction at a certain degree to get optimal speed.
Ephesians 4:13-15
New International Version
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
If you catch the wrong wind, it can steer you off course. If you do not steer with the wind you will equally be making your vessel steer off course or restraining the full effectiveness of the wind.
Like the blowing of the wind, it can be felt and as you the individual begins to heat up for the Lord, you will see an impact around you.
Conduction in terms of fire is the method by which heat is transferred via direct contact.
We can transfer the same power within us by direct contact with other people. As we evangelize, disciple, or practice the gifts of the Spirit, we will see the Spirit move directly in those around us. It may be in the means of giving a perfect word to someone in need, the laying of hands to bring healing, or as you disciple, the fire within you may jump into them as well.
Convection in the terms of fire is the transfer of heat by the movement of air or liquid. For example, warm air in a building will rise to the upper floors.
The Spirit like the day of Pentecost can spread and fill the whole church, a whole nation, or the home. It just needs a spark and a proper environment that is inviting to the Spirit. If the church, nation, or the homes promote an environment that is ignitable for the Spirit, we can see a revival in the Church, the nation, or in the homes.
Radiation in terms of fire occurs when heat travels via waves through the air, such as when the sun warms the Earth by radiating heat.
Prayer can be sent forth for the Spirit to intervene within events or the lives of those within the world. James 5:16 states that a prayer of a righteous person has great power.
James 5:16 ESV
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.[a] Or The effective prayer of a righteous person has great power.
Prayer can radiate across the globe or as close as the house next door. We should never forget that the radiation of the Spirit can ignite others from any distance.
2 Timothy 1:6 reminds us to fan into flame the gift of God which resides within us. God gave us a Spirit not of fear but of power which enables us to live out the holy attributes of God.
2 Timothy 1:6-7 ESV
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
