Apostle you have a point. The churches of the old understood this, they never stopped creating alters in their heart in order to invite the presence of God
Wow thanks apostle for passing these message on @steemchurch
The fire of God can be revived as it can also be quenched. In the 1st epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians he says: "Do not quench the Spirit" (5:19). This expression clearly suggests the idea of fire. Both the exhortation in positive to Timothy and this in negative to the Thessalonians, clearly indicates that this matter of extinguishing or stoking the fire of the Spirit depends exclusively on the believer and not on God. good publication brother @tikhub.
Reviving the fire in the altar is a daily affair as God commanded. One must be conscious to remove the dross (ash) from the altar to aid the fire to burn. God will help us
wow great post @tikhub thanks.
