God is a consuming fire, so be careful of things given to Him. He receives what He is given with fire. All Gods sacrifices must pass through fire. The purpose of fire is sanctification. It is meant to destroy anything attached to the gift that is unfit. What cannot be purified is destroyed.
Egyptians got the priviledge of seeing God come for His people. Israel had become Gods heritage by covenant, just like we are in this age. Egypt would Pay dearly for standing in Gods way. The ten plagues were all Gods way baptizing the land with His fire, and by the time He was done, the Egyptians not only let the captivity go, but with their precious things. So will it be in the time of our release from the powers of this world. The plagues of God are already pouring upon the nations, and with each, our way out of bondage under the powers of the age is clearing up.
God takes seriously things given to Him. Ananias and Saphira learnt this the hard way. When the owner of the already dedicated gift descended, they were found in the way, and the fire could not salvage anything of them. The same principle applied in the conquest of caanan. All cities that had to be utterly destroyed, like Jericho, caused a breakout of plague when someone in the Israeli camp spared parts of it. This teaches us to remember that as sure as we have been set apart as a heritage of God, He is coming for us, as a consuming fire. The fire has two functions; to baptize us into His holiness, and to consume the chaff, His enemy who is on the way.
Te Lord is coming to dispossess the spiritual principalitie(Daniel 7) and this is the reason for the outpouring of His sword upon the high places. This baptism of fire shall deliver to us the thrones of the earth when the final plague of disiheritance hits, just as it was with the striking of the Egyptian first borns. (Article by Faith Shadora)
