The God that answers by fire is the One that responds by a Mighty and Strong Hand. My Good, Loving, Gracious, and Merciful God is also a Consuming Fire and a God of Judgment. But, it is not always that His Answering by Fire is in response to Divine Judgment. Many times, He answers by fire to show Himself strong among men, and to demonstrate His Great Power and Ability. When the Almighty God brought blindness upon Elymas the sorcerer, who wanted to turn the proconsul away from the faith, because Apostle Paul (His representative) spoke on His Behalf, He was answering by fire. When Jesus Christ brought back Lazarus from the dead, God answered by fire.
