Send the Fire?

Do we really want God to send down His Holy Fire? In our churches we sing the right songs. People get the right feelings and emotions. The True Presence of God is more than a few chill bumps during worship. It is more than a feeling. It is a lifestyle change. So are we really ready for the Fire? I know I'm not. Now before you get all crazy on me I really do want the Fire of God in my life. When the Fire of God consumes every fiber of our bodies we are as pure as the purest gold. However, to get there, every single fault we have been trying to hide in our lives is exposed. Not that it was ever hidden. As in Genesis 3:8-9 "Late in the afternoon a breeze began to blow, and the man and woman heard the LORD God walking in the garden. They were frightened and hid behind some trees. The LORD called out to the man and asked, "Where are you?" ." So from beginning of time we have been trying to hide our sin from God. We have tried to hide ourselves from the Very Fire we cry out for. It didn't work then and it still doesn't work in this lifetime either. I'm not saying we should give up on attaining His Fire. I just wanted to say hey this is what happens when we get the fire of God. Now we have no excuses for running from the presence of God.
