Vision

 

 

John the Baptist spoke of Christ when he said,

He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire1

 

For a fire to start, there must be fuel. The more fuel there is, the longer the fire will burn. The better the fuel is, the hotter the flames.

  • Our fuel is the will of God.2   

  • We must study the Word of God to know the will of God. Then we will be equipped to do the work of the ministry.3 The depth and breath of your studies will determine how successful and how long you will be in ministry.

  • The quality of your education is important. Not all Bible institutes, Bible colleges and seminaries are created equal. If you are seeking only an academic experience, then the Fire Institute is not for you.

  • If you are seeking a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit... if you are seeking personal transformation... if you are seeking ministry training... along with academic teaching, then this is the place for you. The Fire Institute is designed to fill your tank with high-octane gasoline!

  

For a fire to start, there must be oxygen. When more oxygen is available, the fire spreads. When large amounts of air are suddenly available, there is an explosion.

 

  • Our oxygen is the freedom of the Spirit.

  • Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.4 While some ministries discourage the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, we encourage and train students to express their gifts. If there is no air, a fire will die. The wrong environment will restrain Christians from realizing their full potential. 

  • The Fire Institute is an explosive atmosphere. Fire experts define an explosive atmosphere as a mixture of dangerous substances with air under intense atmospheric conditions. An ordinary house object like an aerosol can of hair spray will ignite and explode with enough pressure and heat.

  • Our goal is to lead you into an intense relationship with Jesus so that your Christian experience is explosive.5 Christians should not be ordinary. They should be armed and dangerous!

For a fire to start, there must be heat. Without sufficient heat, a fire cannot begin. Many substances are flammable but they still require the presence of heat in order to ignite.

  • Our heat is the passion for God.

  • All Christians are flammable. Each of us has the potential to change the world.6 But many are not changing the world. Why? Passion! Jesus exhorted the church of Laodicea to be hot or cold but not lukewarm.7

  • Your desire determines your destiny. The greater your desire, the stronger the fire - and the greater your potential.

  • Passion is contagious. As one match can set ablaze an entire forest of trees so can one man set ablaze a whole community.8 Are you seeking revival fire? Are you burning for souls? Then now is the time to associate with others of the same spirit - here at the Fire Institute!

  

What is God saying to you? Does God want to prepare you for the Harvest? Do you burn for souls? Are you looking to set the world on fire? The prophet Jeremiah wrote,

 

But His word was in my heart like a burning fire

       Shut up in my bones;

       I was weary of holding it back,

       And I could not.9

 

Now is the time! Don't delay.

Be led by the Spirit and complete your application today!
