It has to do with being purified by fire. When He calls people to follow and serve Him, He gives them a new heart and expects a clean mouth. To get Isaiah ready to speak His words, God had a seraph (a celestial being) take a live coal from the altar and cauterize his lips. (Sounds worse than a root canal to me!) And He reached down with His fingers to touch and cleanse the mouth of His prophet Jeremiah (1:9).

Our God is a consuming fire! God appeared to Moses in a burning bush. When the Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost, there appeared tongues of fire. When God comes into our lives, He touches our lips with Himself. One of the first things that happens to a "Born Again" Believer, is that our vocabulary changes, we no longer curse and swear. God begins a process of sanctifying us. We must submit to this process and allow the Holy Ghost to do His job so that we will not grieve the Holy Ghost.

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:1-8
