The Effects of A Loud Shout | Raul Alvear Jr. :)

What's the difference between the "strange fire" and the fire God commanded to be used in the offerings at the altar of incense?

Both were literal fire, with all the qualities and components that make fire, fire.

The only difference is that Nadab and Abihu brought in fire they themselves had kindled, instead of lighting a taper from the fire God kindled on the brazen altar when He consumed the consecratory sacrifice.

Humans can kindle the fires of praise in their hearts, but if it isn't Spirit led, it's strange to God, and He won't accept it, no matter how real it actually is.

Jesus said without Him, we can't do anything. We can't even praise God properly unless the Holy Spirit of Christ inspires us and gives us the ability, direction, and operation.

Sometimes, the inspiration from Him comes in the form of shouting and making a loud noise, especially with instruments of music. When it's God's fire, there's nothing more powerful, as I've experienced.

When it's kindled by men, and it's strange fire to God, it's a messy disaster that makes the whole group of people involved look sad (which reflects on the God they are claiming to be worshiping with such "fire").
