Why Do Some Churches Shout "Amen! Amen! Amen! Fire!"? by Dahveydson(m): 9:38am On Jan 31, 2016 |
Therefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Phillipians 2:9-11 Going by the above, the bible is clear on the means through which we can access God, make request and engage in spiritual warfare. And it's simply through the name of "JESUS", everything other thing is secondary. What isn't clear is where "Amen! Amen! Amen! Fire" came from, there's nowhere I have read/seen in the bible that the shout of Amen was followed with fire (I stand to be corrected). Amen means so shall it be or it is so. Now add fire to that and see if it makes any sense, "So shall it be! Fire!" - see? This doctrine is being practised by churches mostly in Nigeria, and it confuses me a bit if we are to follow to word of God which is the bible then I daresay that the doctrine is not rooted or acquired from the word of God. Again, I stand to be corrected. Now the questions are; what does it mean? Where can it be found in the bible? and where did it come from? Dear Nairalanders, let's discuss this. Happy Sunday!

The Hebrew word translated “amen” literally means “truly” or “so be it.” in Deuteronomy 27 the isrealite are to response with the word "Amen" in response to God righteous judgment. And in Nehemiah 5:13 the words Amen and praise were use together: Nehemiah 5:13 13 I also shook out the fold of my garment and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not keep this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied.” And all the assembly said “Amen” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised. The highest expression of praise to God is obedience, and when we say “amen” to His commands and pronouncements, our praise is sweet music to His ears. The realm we live in is a spiritual war zone between light and darkness, There 're two categories of Spiritual warfare are: offensive and defensive. Offensive warfare is tearing down the strongholds the enemy has formed in your mind through deception and accusations, and defensive warfare is guarding yourself against the tactics or schemes of the devil. |

malvisguy212: ![]() No, don't, atleast for today being Sunday. You are not even the one in the position to do that but god. It is god responsibility to bring forward empirical evidence and substantiation of his exist. Reason being that any of us can be wrong about things we are convinced of being in the right wing. Or haven't you been wrong about things before? Brother, this 10.30 and the church is seriously raging. What's the damn thing you are doing with your phone and Nairaland at this hour. Hope you are not the type that say a different thing and at the same time doing another set of things. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dahveydson: Dahveydson: Amen means "so be it. You'll find it as an end in many epistles of paul" I would not mind it where appropriate. When agreeing with a declaration, a prayer. ... "Fire" in the way you use it does not make sense. I have attended a meeting where the preacher kept yelling everything he said will happen "by fire by force!" He also made people stand cheer him up and yell after him... "by fire by force!" That's how the flesh is powered up. You'll find such meetings full of static, the power of the flesh rules. That's why am more inclined to the more institutional and ordered gatherings nowadays. I agree with this one; menesheh: 2 Likes 1 Share |
