Fire Power

 


FIRE POWER 🔥 

By George Thurlow

©️July 30, 1996


No fireman in God’s Kingdom 

For the fire is meant to spread.

God wants hearts with flaming passion

To work for Him instead.


He needs those who are lit with burning souls;

Who will fan the flame:

To carry the torch to the dying world

And to glorify His name.


He doesn’t want fire extinguishers 

Who will snuff out the blaze,

Or those who flicker then smolder

Turn to ash near the end of the race.


He desires not the burnt out 

All the ones who have lost their spark.

He prefers those brightly glowing

Faithful to do their part.

 

God’s not pleased with dying embers,

But crackling, roaring fires:

Lighting up the darkened world

For saving souls aspire.


My friend He is calling to you and me

To “Be filled with the Holy Ghost”.

It’s then the flame will be kindled

And through Him accomplish the most.


Let’s not quench the Spirit’s fire,

But let it burn brightly in our souls.

And be about the Great Commission 

Under the power of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 1:8

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” 


Matthew 28:18-20 

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
