This message centers on Holy Ghost Fire as the essential catalyst for spiritual renewal, endurance, and transformation in this season of new things. Drawing from John the Baptist, Pentecost, and multiple prophetic scriptures, the teaching reveals how God’s fire refines, purifies, and separates what He has authored from what He has not. It challenges believers to move beyond lukewarm faith, cooperate with God’s refining process, and allow the Holy Spirit to temper them for endurance and effectiveness. Ultimately, the call is to intimacy with a consuming God, embracing His fire not just inwardly but visibly, so that His people are sharpened, unshakable, and fully prepared to walk in power and purpose during this pivotal time.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I tell you what, let's get into the word together together and uh let the Holy Ghost uh you know He He may show back up and do some other things in a little while after we preach. So let's just stand up, pick our Bibles up, wave them around, make Jesus glad, devil mad, say this together. Say, Heavenly Father, I thank you for Sunday night. I thank you for this miracle atmosphere where all things are possible to God, and all things are possible to me because I'm a believer and I act on the word and I walk by faith and not by what seems like, and I give you glory for the good things that happen. In Jesus' name. Amen. Matthew chapter 3, please. It's in my normal reading here recently. Matthew chapter 3. And we'll just start, you know, we'll just start at the beginning of the chapters, no big deal. Verse 1. In those days came John the Baptist. John the Baptizer. He wasn't a Baptist, by the way. He was not Southern Baptist, but he was a baptizer. John the Baptizer preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is that was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare thee the way of the Lord, make his path straight. And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his meat was locusts and wild honey. And then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region round about Jordan and were baptized of him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. And when he saw many of the Pharisees and the Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet or answerable for repentance. And think not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham to our father, for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to make to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the tree. Therefore, every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. But he that cometh after me is mightier than me, whose shoes I'm not worthy to bear, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Everybody shout, fire. Whose fan or winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. And so tonight I just wanted to share a simple message entitled Holy Ghost Fire. Because I believe that we need Holy Ghost fire this year to see the new things. We need fire for we're gonna have to get on fire for God. You know, even Timothy, uh Paul's son in the faith was in need of the fire. Uh he had allowed himself to get discouraged. He he was under pressure. He he allowed people to, you know, to hold his youth against him, and he was tempted to be embarrassed and shamed because of Paul's chain. Paul was in jail, and he he was just a young man. He's under pressure. And uh there in 2 Timothy, Paul just said, you know, I I charge you, stir up the gift of God, that inner fire, that the fan the flame and rekindle the embers. Uh the gracious uh gift that was given you through the laying on of my hands. He had the fire, but it wasn't in evidence. You know, we all have fire in us. If you're saved, you've got a fire, but is it visible? Is it burning? Jesus baptizes with the Holy Ghost and with fire. I mean, immersed in fire. I mean, fire is not just supposed to be inside. It ought to be worn like everything else. We ought to be visibly on fire. And really, you can't have power without the fire. That's why he baptizes us in both. You know, on the day of Pentecost there in Acts chapter 2, we can turn there and just see what the Bible says, what happened the very first manifestation when the Holy Ghost came upon the church after the resurrection. This is Pentecost, 50 days after the resurrection. And uh in verse 1 it says, they when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place, whose day was 120. Mary was among them. All the apostles of the Lamb were with them, except Judas, of course, he's already dead. And a lot of other people were there. 120, but but the Bible says in Corinthians that uh Jesus appeared to over 500 people at one time after the resurrection, and yet only 120 showed up in the upper room. I can't believe that he didn't invite all 500 of them at the time. So that's that's he only had 24% results. You know, even Jesus didn't have full manifestation. But these did show up, and they were all with one accord in one place, and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting, and there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like as a fire, and it sat or it settled upon each of them. I mean, we, you know, they were baptized the Holy Ghost and fire. We don't talk much about the fire. We talk about the tongues, we talk about how they spoke in tongues, but you know, they they were lit up. I mean, fire settled upon them. It wasn't, you know, I don't know if you've seen this little painting they used to hang. You'd I see it in the convent or the Catholic Church. They had a picture of the of some of the apostles with these little flames up on top of their head, you know, a little old flame right there. It didn't look like that. I mean, they they were wearing the fire, man. I mean, it settled on them. It settled on them. Everybody say the fire settled on them. And so the question tonight I would ask is will we allow ourselves to be immersed with Holy Ghost fire? It's a question that's only you can answer. You've got to either be willing or not willing. I mean, some people aren't willing. They're just too dignified for their own good. You know, I used to say this all the time, we've got a barrel, we don't have a barrel, but we already have a barrel in the front door, and this is where you check. You know, in Dodge City, you had to check your guns with the with the sheriff before you come into town. We ought to make people check their dignity at the door. Just drop your dignity in the trash can and come in here and get real with God. Quit being so sophisticated and so, you know, religious. So uh, will you allow yourself to be immersed in Holy Ghost fire? That's what baptism means. It means immersed. That's why we we don't just pour water on top of people, we immerse them in that tank back there. We they can go all the way down. And that's the only way. I mean, you know, Jesus didn't just get a foot buried. He his whole body went underground, you know. And so we ought to go under the water if we're gonna show forth the death, burial, and resurrection. So, Holy Ghost fire, I've got three things to talk about tonight. First of all, Holy Ghost fire is refining fire. Let's look at Malachi. Oh, I tell you, I want us to, I want us to be fired up this year. I want us to wear and be immersed in this fire. You know, the devil is afraid of it. The devil is afraid of Christians who are not ashamed. He tries to get people to shut up. Malachi chapter 3, verse 1, Behold, I will send my messenger before, and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant whom you delight in, behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap, and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years. And I will come near to you to judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. For I am the Lord, I change not, therefore, ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Well, now, Pastor, that's old testament. Well, I know that, but you know, we've got some sorcerers in the church, we've got some adulterers in the church, we got people that walk in open sin in the church, and what they need a little fuller soap. They need refining fire. Just as gold and silver is heated, gold particularly, gold is heated into a liquid state, and the dross is cleaned off of the surface. All the impurities come up, and what's left is this crystal clear liquid that you can see your face in. It's like the the crystal sea in heaven. Really, the crystal sea in heaven is gold that's been purified perfectly clear. It's not really water, it's gold, it's clear. And uh 1 Corinthians chapter 3, let's look at that one. Everybody say refining fire. Purifies. Say purifies. I mean, you know, that's that's part of, you know, that's part of what God said to Israel. Sanctify yourself against tomorrow, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you. See, we we just need to make sure we're purified. We want to make sure we put the blood on everything that's wrong. We put the blood on it. All right, 1 Corinthians 3. I know it's in my Bible somewhere. Verse uh 13. Every man's work shall be made manifest, for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. And if any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a war reward. But if any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, yet so is by fire. You know, a lot of a lot of good things are going to get burned up. Why? Because they weren't really authored by the Holy Ghost. They weren't authored by God. They just seemed like good to us. We decided we want to do that good thing. And and it's, you know, you can't offer to God something that He didn't author. I mean, He He's either Lord or isn't. And He chooses things for us, and we need to be keen this year, keen in the Spirit and quick to obey. Don't make up stuff, don't invent stuff to do just because you hadn't heard what God wants you to do. I mean, hang in there until you know. Otherwise, the fire's gonna burn it up, and then you won't have anything. You you're saved, but all the good stuff is gonna be gone. You don't have any anything to show for it. So uh the refining fire purifies, the refining fire separates the good from the from that which is authored by God is not good enough. So it gets burned up. So it separates, so the refining fire purifies, it separates, and so the question that I ask you will you cooperate? Will you cooperate with the refining fire? You either will or you won't. I've seen people not. But if you do, God can purify you and he can separate you, and you can be a vessel under honor. Come on, lift your hand right now. Hallelujah. That's what we want. We want to be vessels under honor. I like I like what uh Catherine Kuhlman said one time. You know, God's not looking for gold vessels, he's not looking for silver vessels, he's looking for yielded vessels. You gotta love her. She's something looking for yielded vessels. Everybody say, I'm a yielded vessel. All right, the second thing I see is 1 Peter 1. You got refining fire. 1 Peter talks about a different fire. Verse 7 that the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, we talked about that, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love, and whom though now you see him not yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory and reserve, receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your soul. We talked about that this morning, salvation of souls. Talked about that Wednesday night. And the salvation of your soul is a process that you have to submit. And so the fire of God is a tempering fire, a tempering fire. When you take a steel blade and good steel, and you heat it up white hot, and then you plunge it into oil, and you quench it in oil, and the oil absorbs the heat of the blade in such a fashion, in such a uh, depending on how much oil. There's a certain, I mean, you can't just use a little oil because the oil will get too hot. But if you plunge it into a vat of oil, the oil will cool the blade, not instantly, but just in a way so that when it's pulled out, it's hardened. And it will keep an edge. It will keep that edge, like, you know, and and so the fire, the Holy Ghost fire is tempering fire. It speaks to endurance. You can endure all kinds of maltreatment, tough times, persecution. Peter's talking about persecution. And some people just melt. They're so bent on pleasing men. They're men pleasers instead of God pleasers. You'll never have any endurance. I'm telling you, once the devil knows he can buffalo you with negative opinions, then he's gonna do that. And uh, so what do we need? We need that tempering fire that we can hold an edge under all circumstances. Our sword of the spirit's cut in both ways, and devil, you're gonna come after me, I'm gonna slice you. You know, I was coming across Ezekiel here recently. I read that was part of my normal reading a number of weeks ago. Let's look at Ezekiel. Holy Ghost fires, refining fires, tempering fires. Ezekiel. Verse um or chapter thirteen. Verse ten. Because even because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, peace, and there was no peace. And one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar. Say unto them which hath daubed it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall, this wall that was built. There shall be an overflowing shower, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall rend it. Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, where is the daubing wherewith you've daubed it? Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury, and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger and great hailstones in my fury to consume it, so will I break down the wall that you have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst thereof, and you shall know that I am the Lord. So, you know, he's talking about a masonry wall with untempered mortar. Well, you look it up and it's uh it it washes out in the rain. Inferior mortar will wash out in the rain, and a masonry wall it just loses its cohesiveness between the bricks or the stones that you use. It has no strength. And notice it's the it's the trials of life. But um daubing there is is really the word smearing, and untempered mortar is really foolishness, frivolity, frivolous things. In other words, when you when you get the word of God preached to you with a bunch of frivolous, fluff, fluff and bluster, is what I call it. Just a fancy turning of phrases, lots of turning of phrases, but very little meat, just a bunch of fancy preaching, and everybody starts hollering and screaming, and they don't even know why they're they're shouting. They're mostly uh adoring the guy that's bringing the message. That's untempered mortar, that wall that's built is gonna get blown down. Are y'all with me now? It's just smeared with frivolous nothing. Kind of like wallpapering over a hole. All right, let's look at Isaiah 41. Everybody say tempering fire. See, it holds an edge, it's got endurance. See, the untempered mortar has no endurance as soon as there's any kind of a storm. And I mean, God knows that He's gonna He's gonna see to it that the big storm is gonna come. He's gonna knock it down. We're living in those days right now. People's people's uh marble palaces are getting knocked down because they're foolishness, they're frivolous. All right, Isaiah 41, verse 15. Behold, I will make thee a new. See, there's a new thing. Behold, there is the word again. I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth or having mouths. Your mouth is a harvesting instrument, what you say. You can put in the sickle and swing the sickle and get your harvest through where your words are speaking. I'm gonna make you a new sharp threshing instrument having mouths. Thou shalt thresh the mountains and Beat them small and shall make the hills as chaff. Mountains is a picture of nations. Hills is a picture of smaller people groups. The gospel is going out all over the world. It's going out state by state. We've got the flag of heaven planted, you know, this week in Missouri. Next week it's going to go into Boise, Idaho. We have it in Austin. We have it in Baton Rouge. We have it in Oklahoma City. We have it in, you know. What's the capital of Michigan? Lansing? I just, I just, you know, it's just amazing what God has done. We're a new sharp, threshing instrument with teeth. Holy Ghost fire has done it. Endurance. We've endured. For years and years we we had this to wake up the church, wake up the church. Nobody listening, nobody listening suddenly. You know, I was thinking about it the other day, I hadn't mentioned this side of it, but in 2018, just a few weeks after open heart surgery, I got home and and uh I didn't think I'd ever get out of ICU. I was just so miserable. I think it was 12, 11 or 12 days in ICU. That is no fun. But I got home, you know, and weak as water. And uh got better, got better, and then God spoke to me in in March, early March, and he said, I've I've reset your clock. Your clock had run out. And I heard the I heard the referee, you know, in the Super Bowl, they'll probably do that in the two-minute warning tonight. They'll probably say, Let's reset the clock to two minutes and 15 seconds. That's what they're always doing. They're adjusting the clock so the game can can uh gain the you know the time that people have that score their when they're trying to score a touchdown at the very end anyway. And then in in May, I was that morning, I was feeling much stronger, doing better, and I'd already come back for Easter and had started preaching some. And I was at home one morning just praying and worshiping the Lord, and then I just began to pray in other tongues for about an hour. I prayed in other tongues, prayed in other tongues, prayed in other tongues, and just sat there in my chair, you know. I used to walk around, but I wasn't strong enough really to walk much, so I just sit and pray. Why didn't you kneel? Because I didn't feel like kneeling. I felt like sitting. Back to, I really felt like laying, but I didn't do that. I said. But anyway, so I was praying in other tongues, and about an hour into it, I began to see this field, and at the other end of this pasture was this like maybe 10-foot-tall wall, and it was covered over with brambles and vines, and you know, and uh, and suddenly in the middle of this wall off the other end of this field, this door began to open in the middle of it. And it was a thick door, it was like 12 inches thick, and it opened slowly toward me. And uh I heard the Holy Spirit just in my still small voice, he said, Today I'm opening the door into the regions beyond. You're gonna you're gonna preach the gospel in the regions beyond. Like Paul. He said, I I've I've preached in the regions beyond, and I don't preach in places where other people have have have gone. I don't step on them. I I go into the region. I was reminded of that verse. I looked it up real quick and I wrote it all down. Well, actually, I recorded it on my iPhone. I just recorded the prophecy that I had. I had a prophetic word for myself, prophesied over myself. You mean you do that? Well, I did that day. I don't do it very often, but I did. And look what we're doing right now. We're in the regions beyond, and I didn't go there. I haven't gone there yet. I haven't been to Austin, I hadn't been to Baton Rouge, I haven't been one place. But our anointing is going there. James is going there. Claire's going there. Others are going there. Joseph is going there. Amen. Are y'all with me now? Endurance. I mean, we've been honed to a fine edge. We've been quenched in oil. And we're a new sharp, threshing instrument. We're reaping the harvest out there and making a big difference. The churches are beginning to wake up. Pastors are coming into their capital city. They're holding services, they're getting connected with their legislators, they're waking up their influence there. Now they're going to go back to their church and have influence in their churches like we did this morning. We've got four people that basically got our endorsement. It's not really an official endorsement, but it's it kind of is. And we we give you guidance, these four right here. And we can't, of course, we can't vote for all of them because we're not in all of their different places, but I get to vote for Stan Stanard again. I've voted for him I don't know how many times over the years. You know, and gladly. I'm glad to vote for him. Glad the other guy's gone. All right, praise God. Everybody say tempering fire. So, you know, the first one purifies and separates. This one brings endurance. And uh the first one I ask, will you cooperate? This one I ask, will you marinate? Will you soak in the oil long enough to get the temper? To set the edge on the knife so that you have endurance, so that you don't quit. It takes marinating. You just marinate. I marinate in all the words that God gave me over all these years. I go back and look at it, rehearse it. I've done it in public, I do it in private all the time. Why do I do that? I'm marinating. I'm going back to what God said. God told me this. It's a different call than everybody else. Everybody's got their own call, everybody's got their own ministry. Well, I've got this, and I'm doing what God told me to do. Endurance. Will you marinate? And then the last one, let's look at Hebrews chapter 12. You get anything out of this tonight? Hallelujah! Everybody say, I'm on fire for God. I know that's right. Uh Hebrews 12, 18. If you're not come under the mount that might be touched, that burn with fire, and the blackness, darkness, and tempest, sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, which voice they heard entreated that the words should not be spoken to them anymore. Uh and so he goes on and said, But you come to Mount Zion. So we're not coming back to the mount that burned. You know, that was Mount Sinai, that was the law. We come to Mount Zion. All right, and we go on down here. And uh verse 26, whose voice then shook the earth? Well, on Mount Sinai. His voice shook the earth. They were so afraid the Jews fled to the other side of mountain and told Moses, we're afraid, we don't want to go in his presence. Uh you go, you go find out what he wants and tell us, and we'll do it. Well, they lied. He told them what he what God wanted, and they never did do it. And uh, whose voice then shook the earth, but now, everybody say, right now. He's promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven, not heaven where God is, but heaven, the heavenly places where principalities and powers have had have held rule. It's being shaken. Their authority is being shaken right now. This is a time of opportunity that's never going to come again. Well, I shouldn't say that. I guess I guess I should say if we don't take seize it, then it'll be delayed. How many years? 40? I don't know. Israel missed their day of visitation and they cost them 40 years. Wandering. How long will it cost the church if we don't take advantage of this shaking? Oh, that's burning in me. I mean, we've got to take advantage. Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word yet once more signifies the removing of those things which are shaken or which may be shaken. Removing what? Those thrones, those places of authority, pulling them out of the way so the church can receive a harvest. As of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. We cannot be shaken. God cannot. I'm telling you, that shaken's not meant for us. That shaken is meant for everything else. It's not meant for the church. The church isn't going anywhere. Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace. And my margin says, let us hold fast, whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. He's a consuming fire. It's interesting that we can serve God acceptably. That tells me we can serve God unacceptably. What happens when we do that? Why is that? Well, we don't have the proper proper amount of reverence and fear. We just think we can do anything we want to. We have the attitude that whatever I do, he's glad I'm doing. I, you know, I don't have time. Do I can do this though? Well, you know, that's just the wrong attitude. You don't have the really the reverence and fear of God that you should have. It ought to be God. What do you want me to do? What's your plan? See, we've got to get his plan. We can't get the new things that God has in store for us holding on to the old. We've got to let some things go and we've got to pick up the new. What's going to happen? Consuming fire. I'm telling you, when you get so consumed with his fire and his passion, nothing else will do except that you do that thing that you have a passion to do. Are you with me now? So it's all about fellowship. We fellowship with God. This God, he's wanting to fellowship with us. He wants us he wants us to be intimate. Will you be intimate with him? Intimate. Say we had we had uh cooperate, marinate, intimate. You know, will you be intimate? In other words, you be so close to him that you give birth to things that he implants you in. Mary was implanted with a holy seed when she hung out with God and accepted the angel's command, and she didn't doubt it. She said, Be it unto me according to thy word. My soul doth magnify the Lord. And when you do that, I mean, you know, nothing else matters. I mean, you have such a passion for him that nothing that he asks you to do is a problem. Nothing he asks you to do is something that you're not willing to do. You've become when you know that's his desire for you, it becomes your desire. It's a burning desire. It's not just, okay, Lord, I'll obey. No, he's gonna give you something and you're gonna get really excited about doing it. And you're gonna do it with passion. Come on now. See, that's acceptable. That's the other ain't acceptable. I mean, he doesn't need your our I heard Copeland one time preaching about, you know, helping the poor, and he said, you know, God, God is not pleased when you bring him your old rummage. We're gonna have a rummage sale. You know, people bring old stinking clothes down here that need to be washed or torn up, they're missing buttons, a bunch of junk, and they call it rummage, and we're gonna try to give that to people. He started going. I started laughing. And uh, you know, we can't give God a one a one-eared lamb. You know, you've got to give him your best. He's worthy of your best. We have to come to him, see. And uh and we have to follow him and be consumed by him. When you're consumed by consuming fire, nothing else matters. Look at Revelation 3. Will you be intimate with him? You hang out with him and get intimate with him. Uh I mean, his consuming fire is going to get on you. And pretty soon all the things that you thought were so important for you to do and your your all of your uh uh priorities become insignificant. You you start picking up his priorities. Revelation 3, verse 15. He's talking to the church of Laodicea, verse 14, these things saith the Alamin, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, speaking to the Laodicean church, I know thy works, thou art neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. So then, because you're lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew or vomit you out of my mouth. It's hard to believe Jesus said that, but he did, and it's in red. He said it to the church. He didn't say it to the heathen, he said it to the church. I don't want to find out what that means. I don't want Jesus to vomit me out of his mouth. I don't want to find out what that means. I don't want to find out what that what the consequences of that are. So what do I need to do? Stay hot, stay on fire. Lukewarm is just. Why is lukewarm so bad? Because you were exposed to the fire and you chose not to turn the heat up. You chose to just be a little bit just lukewarm. He would rather you be cold. If you're cold, it just means you're not chart, you're not taught, you're not exposed to the heat, you're not exposed to the light, you're not exposed to the fire. You have no choice but to be cold because that's all you can be. He can deal with that. If you're cold, he can get you saved. But when you're lukewarm, you've chosen, you've chosen to be what you are. He didn't. And now that's that's not acceptable with God. That's not acceptable. Some preacher wrote it this way. Um be satisfied with the dissatisf. All right, let me read it right. Be satisfied with the dissatisfaction that is satisfied again and again. I'm gonna read it again and make your head hurt. So listen with your spirit and get your head out of the way. Be satisfied with the dissatisfaction that is satisfied again and again. It's just another word for saying be filled over and over again. You get filled and you're just on cloud nine, but then you're dissatisfied, and now you need to be filled again. And don't get tired of that. Don't get tired. A lot of people get tired of what it takes to stay on fire. They are glad to just let it burn down. It's just a little too intense around here. I've got some friends that don't want to be around me. Well, good. I mean, they're not people that you need to be around then if they don't like the fire of God. I mean, if they're either gonna do one or two things, they're either gonna catch on fire or they're gonna try to douse yours out with the water that they carry. And so, you know, the difference is complacency versus passion, you know, complacent versus passionate. Are you complacent? See, that's the thing that we've got to fight. We've got to fight comfort zone. We've got to fight, okay, I'm all right, like I am. I don't need, no, you need the fire of God. You need greater than what you have. You need something way up high that you haven't, you need to break through that that plateau. Are y'all getting this now? How it fits in with what we're preaching. So will you cooperate? Will you marinate? Will you intimate? And if you do, then Holy Ghost fire is going to transform you and cause you to be a mighty witness. Come on, lift your hands and receive tonight. Holy Ghost fire. Lord, we thank you for Holy Ghost fire. The fire of God. Everybody say the fire of God.
