And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”
Luke 9:54 NKJV
James and John were ready to call fire down from heaven. This is kind of a good news/bad news situation.
The good news is they had faith for this kind of a bold miracle. The disciples were learning that Jesus was greater than all of the Old Testament patriarchs. Nothing was ‘off the table’ to Him. You have to admire their faith.
The bad news was the way they chose to exercise their faith. Faith and spiritual power can definitely be misused. Jesus didn’t desire to destroy an entire Samaritan village.
Like the disciples, I need to believe for mighty things and use my faith to build up, not tear down.
Lord, Increase my faith to bless and not to curse. Amen.
