“He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Matthew 3:11
You can be cleansed by the blood of Christ for the repentance of sins but this will not give you the fire of Christ.
You can strive to do things for Christ but this will not work either.
You can study the Bible, hear sermons, and pray but this will not avail you of the fire of Christ.
The fire of Christ comes to those who seek God with all their heart. They release all strings attached to the world and live by faith in Christ.
Here are some benchmarks for finding the fire of Christ:
Place your destiny in the hands of Christ without expectations.
Follow Christ at all times accepting suffering and adversity in the role of a believer.
Make your priority knowing Christ not achieving His blessings.
Living for Christ wherever this might take you.
Don’t try to think for Christ. Let Him think for you.
Submitting to Christ during times of agony and bleakness. Living in the shadow of the Cross.
Abiding in steadfast loyalty to Christ when He disappears from your life.
