  1. You're listening to a message to go from AX Church.

  2. We hope this message will light up your tea.

  3. When you come in touch with fire, you will never

  4. be the same again. You say, Lord, I would like

  5. to migrate to the US. If he's really his will,

  6. he will tell you whether you should my grade or not.

  7. But his first answer to that prayer is fired. We

  8. will show the world how to serve the Lord with

  9. fire in our heart. Let the God who answers by

  10. fire be God. Let the God who answers by fire

  11. be God. I want to remind all of us this

  12. morning that our God answers by fire. I was many

  13. years ago at a rally in Indonesia. It was a

  14. very very big event that I took about eight of

  15. my leaders to go with me, and the finale was

  16. held at the stadium.

  17. One hundred thousand people came.

  18. The speaker was Yongi Cho Cho Yongee, pastor Chow Yong

  19. Gee at that time, pastor of the largest church in

  20. the world. Okay, I think the church was about eight

  21. hundred thousand people in South Korea. Yourdo your Iido Full

  22. Gospel Church. And as passa Yongi Cho was speaking, he

  23. said he was speaking Korean.

  24. He said that.

  25. God used Korea or South Korea to introduce to the world.

  26. The prayer movement.

  27. Prayer movement, all right, and sure enough, everybody who ever

  28. talked about let's do prayer, let's get into prayer, let's

  29. do more prayer. That will look at Youngi Cho pass

  30. Yongicho and his church as an example. But Yngi Cho

  31. or show Yongi uh said, uh, prayer movement came out

  32. of Korea. And then he says, but you know Indonesia,

  33. and of course you were speaking Indonesia.

  34. Indonesia will provide to the world.

  35. The praise movement, and a lot of songs of praise

  36. have been coming out from Indonesia, a lot of songs

  37. of praise. Okay, so you know what happened. I closed

  38. my eyes and I bout my head as I heard

  39. about what South Korea provided for the world. I heard

  40. about what Indonesia is about to provide for the world,

  41. and I just say the race silent prayer about my head.

  42. I say a silent press the Lord. If South Korea

  43. did that for the world, Lord, if Indonesia is going

  44. to do this for the world, what will Malaysia do?

  45. And the Lord says, passion. I got in my spirit

  46. passion and the next word was fire. So fire and

  47. passion is related. It's connected. And then we uh, you know,

  48. around the stadium people say amen, you know, because people

  49. were praying.

  50. I was in my deep, in my own prayer.

  51. But as everyone said amen, and I opened my eyes

  52. and in came a person running into the stadium with

  53. a torch fire like the Olympics, and he lighted up,

  54. you know, like like the Olympics, this huge what do

  55. you call it, yeah, cauldron, Yeah, this huge torch and

  56. he lighted it up and boom, set on fire.

  57. And the Lord says, that's your confirmation. That's your confirmation.

  58. So I had believed that since then until today, that

  59. Malaysia's contribution to the world will be passion. We will

  60. show the world how to serve the Lord with fire.

  61. In our hearts.

  62. Do you believe it? I believe you are my heart.

  63. I believe you all my heart. And so the confirmation

  64. was there. But then as I read First King chapter eighteen,

  65. God reminds me that he answers by fire. Now you

  66. think about it, the guyser, the God who answers by

  67. fire means that Every prayer you ever prayed is firstly

  68. answered by fire, before it's answered by specific answer to

  69. your prayer. Think about it now, think about it. Now,

  70. you say, Lord, I would like to migrate to the US.

  71. If he's really his will, he will tell you better.

  72. You should my grade or not. But his first answer

  73. to that prayer is fire.

  74. Why? Passion? Why?

  75. Because what's the use of going to the United States

  76. of America without fire? Australia? Lord, send me to Australia.

  77. But you know, a Christian can die in Australia. A

  78. Christian can lose his faith in the US. A Christian

  79. can force take the Lord in the UK if he

  80. doesn't have fire. Lord, give me one million ring. It

  81. could be your prayer. Give me ten million ring. It

  82. could be your prayer. But what is money without fire?

  83. Because you can be rich and forsake the Lord. So

  84. do you understand one pressay? You can ask for anything,

  85. but the first thing he answers is fire. Jesus said,

  86. I came to send fire on the earth. Wow, and

  87. how I wish it would already kindle. Now fire is powerful.

  88. Fire changes everything it touches. Do you understand this? Everything

  89. when you come in touch with fire, you will never

  90. be the same again.

  91. Nothing remains the same.

  92. That means if you are on fire and you touch

  93. somebody's hands hello, and fire goes through your.

  94. Hand, that person will never be the same again.

  95. Do you understand if money is on fire, anyone who

  96. comes in here will be changed. You don't even have

  97. to do anything else but be God's channel of fire.

  98. The fire doesn't need.

  99. To change, ladies and gentlemen in this room, with the

  100. stages or stages of life. I find that, you know,

  101. some older ones will come to me say, oh, don't

  102. you know, pasta, I'm already retired. I'm not like the

  103. young ones with so much energy right or pasa you

  104. don't understand. I just got married, so you know there

  105. are different demands or pasa you don't understand. But I've

  106. got three kids. Listen. I want to tell you right now,

  107. and I pray you will take it with all your heart.

  108. The fire doesn't.

  109. Need to change with the stages or status of life.

  110. We're not talking about you jumping only and you know,

  111. doing crazy things no, or running around the church like

  112. a young guy can and an older guy might not

  113. be able to know. I'm not comparing like that. But

  114. why should your fire and my fire deplete or decrease

  115. with age? Do you agree that I'm talking about fire?

  116. I see older people here in our midst and thank

  117. God for older people here in our myths. I can

  118. also see the fire. How to attract God's fire? How

  119. to keep being on fire?

  120. All right? Are you ready?

  121. Because we read in the scripture fire came down when

  122. Elijah prayed.

  123. Yes. So when I go and speak.

  124. This message in different places, I understand that there are

  125. many people all around the world saying wow. When I

  126. read first King's eighteen, I wanted to happen again in

  127. our time and age. I wanted to heppen again. God,

  128. where are you? So the question he ask is where's

  129. the God of Elijah? Where's the God of Elijah today

  130. twenty twenty six. But the question should be where is Elijah?

  131. Because as I said to you earlier, how God hasn't changed.

  132. He hasn't got anywhere he Brews thirteen, verse eight. He

  133. is the same yesterday, today and forever, the God of

  134. the US and the God of Australia, and the God

  135. of the UK is also the God of Malaysia. He's

  136. your God, I know, said you celebrator. Maybe you say

  137. Bethel or maybe you say he was. I don't know

  138. what church you celebrate, you know, but it's time to

  139. also celebrate what God is doing here ten birth day.

  140. God is alive in this place. So don't ask where's

  141. the God of Elijah? You know, God of Elijah has

  142. always been here. Where is Elijah is the question. Don't

  143. just look for the God of Elijah. God is looking

  144. for Elijah. If God can find Elijah, he will move.

  145. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
