The altar is not just a place of surrender—it is the launchpad for supernatural activation. Consecration prepares the heart, but receiving God’s fire requires faithful engagement, openness, and expectancy. God’s fire represents His power, presence, and blessing, and it falls on those who have positioned themselves in holiness, obedience, and devotion.
At Gods Altar and You, we teach that the altar is where heaven meets earth, and fire from God ignites destiny.
What God’s Fire Represents
The fire of God is multifaceted—it brings:
- Purification: Removing every trace of sin and compromise (Malachi 3:2–3)
- Empowerment: Strength for ministry, service, and spiritual authority (Acts 1:8)
- Passion: Renewed zeal for God’s purposes (Romans 12:11)
- Manifest Presence: Tangible encounters with God (Exodus 3:2; 1 Kings 18:38)
God’s fire is not destructive when approached in obedience; it is refining, empowering, and activating.
Why is it Important to have the Fire of God
The altar activates God’s fire because it is the place where surrender, consecration, and faith intersect, creating a spiritual environment where heaven can touch earth. When a believer approaches the altar with a pure heart, obedience, and expectancy, God responds by releasing His power, presence, and supernatural authority. It is not the physical structure, but the posture of the heart and the alignment of life with God’s will that sparks His fire—purifying, empowering, and activating the believer for purpose and destiny. At the altar, God’s fire transforms ordinary devotion into extraordinary breakthrough.

1. Total Consecration
Before fire falls, the altar must be prepared through consecration: surrender, purity, and obedience.
“Consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am the LORD your God.” — Leviticus 20:7
2. Faithful Devotion
Consistent prayer, worship, and meditation create receptivity. Fire comes to those who seek God with intention.
“Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33
3. Immediate Obedience
Prompt obedience positions the believer to receive activation. Hesitation delays the flow of God’s fire.
“To obey is better than sacrifice.” — 1 Samuel 15:22
4. Expectancy and Yielding
God’s fire cannot be forced—it is released through faith-filled expectation and humble surrender.
“When the day of Pentecost came… they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.” — Acts 2:1–4
Biblical Examples of Receiving Fire at the Altar
- Elijah rebuilt the altar on Mount Carmel, prayed, and fire fell from heaven (1 Kings 18:36–38)
- Moses saw the burning bush after consecration and approach in holiness (Exodus 3:2–5)
- Pentecost: Believers waited in prayer at the appointed time, and the Holy Spirit’s fire fell (Acts 2:1–4)
Each example shows that preparation, prayer, and expectancy activate divine fire.
What Happens When You Receive God’s Fire
- Purification: Sin, compromise, and distractions are burned away
- Empowerment: Spiritual gifts, authority, and boldness are released
- Clarity: God’s will becomes unmistakable
- Manifestation: Signs, miracles, and supernatural encounters increase
- Destiny Activation: God positions you to fulfill His purpose fully
“I am come to send fire on the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!” — Luke 12:49
God’s fire is not optional; it is the means by which spiritual breakthroughs are ignited.
