    The Call To The Altar Of Fire

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Sep 20, 2010
    based on 17 ratings
     | 13,656 views

    Combing 1 Kings 18 & Gen 49 this is a message showing that God is calling His people back to the altar of fire, warts and all. 1 Kings 18 shows the rebuilding of the altar, and Gen 49 shows the character of the tribes called back.

    The Call to the Altar of Fire Text: Genesis 49: 1,2 Jacob has twelve sons and he prophesies over them what it would be like for them in last days. I believe this text can be spiritually applied to the body of Christ in the last days. The literal Hebrew is the "end of days". I want to combine it ...read more

    Jesus was clear that our walk should be marked by signs and wonders. What is following you? Is your life “signless”?

    Signs Pt. 2 I. Introduction I have a sign situation. My situation is not that Jesus did signs! My issue is that Jesus, in John 14:11-14 and Mark 16:14-20, made it crystal clear that we would not only have signs following us, but even greater signs than He performed.
