Three different persons in The Bible received acknowledgement from God by fire coming down from heaven. Elijah the prophet three times called fire down from heaven. First in 1 Kings 18:38 when he confronts the prophets of Baal in a contest to determine who is the true God. Twice later on in 2 Kings 2:12-14 Elijah called fire down from heaven wiping out two different contingents of fifty soldiers who had been sent by king Ahab to arrest him. King David also received acknowledgement from God in 1Chronicles 21:26 when fire from heaven consumed his sacrifice to the Lord after he had prayed. David's son King Solomon also was acknowledged by God at the dedication of the temple in Jerusalem 2 Chronicles 7:1 by fire consuming his sacrifice.
Others in the bible have talked about or are said to have the ability to call down fire but have not actually done so. The disciples asked Jesus if they should call fire down from heaven on the Samaritans who were inhospitable in Luke 9:54, but never actually did. In Revelations 13:13 the beast of the earth is predicted to be able to call fire down from heaven however this prophetic book may actually have a more figurative meaning for this depiction.

How can a righteous man call down fire from heaven if heaven comes from within?
According to the Bible, "Heaven" is not 'in our heart'. It is a place.Though our creator is SO powerful and mighty, the actual heavens cannot even contain him (2 Chronicles 6:18), Heaven is where God's figurative 'throne' is located(Isaiah 66:1)...the location of his Kingdom (Matthew 6:9+10).The prophet Elijah was used by God to bring fire from "Heaven" to destroy those who had been judged (2 Kings 1:10-14), but the power to do this, and the fire itself, came from God 'in the heavens'.
