No, ‘ Man on Fire ‘ is not based on a true story . It is based on the 1980 novel of the same name written by A.J. Quinnell. It was adapted for the screen by Brian Helgeland and directed by Tony Scott. Quinnell was inspired by two real -life incidents while creating the central premise of the story .
Isaiah 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame : [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
When you ask God to set your heart on fire , you are asking Him to consume you from the inside out. It is a desire to let your heart come alive with the desires of God . You will be so overwhelmed by passion and love for God that you won’t be able to contain it.

Fire is viewed by Christians, the Chinese, and the Hebrews as being a symbol of divinity (Cooper, 1978). In Christianity, fire can also be symbolic of religious zeal and martyrdom. In Egypt it represents a sense of superiority and control. Many cultures view fire as a symbol of wisdom and knowledge.
“ Fire represents many things to many people and cultures. It is recognized as a purifier, a destroyer and as the generative power of life, energy and change. It represents illumination and enlightenment, destruction and renewal, spirituality and damnation” (Varner).
