Do we need more
fire?
“I will give you a new heart,
and I will put a new spirit
within you. I will remove the
heart of stone from your body
and give you a heart of flesh."
(Eze. 36:26)
Do we need more fire and the
wind of the Holy Spirit for
ourselves and our ministries?
If you do, I would ask for your
attention and please read the
following text from Spurgeon.
O You who are our God, answer
us by fire, we pray You!
“O You who are our God, answer us by fire, we pray You!
Answer us both by wind and fire and then shall we see
You to be God, indeed. The kingdom comes not and the
work is flagging. O that You would send the wind and the
fire! You will do this when we are all of one accord—all
believing, all expecting, all prepared by prayer. Lord,
bring us to this waiting state!
May God send us a season of glorious disorder! Oh for a
sweep of wind that will set the seas in motion and make
our ironclad Brethren now lying so quietly at anchor to
roll from stem to stern! As for us, who are as the little
ships, we will fly before the gale if it will but speed us to
our desired haven! Oh for fire to fall again—fire which
shall affect the most stolid! This is a sure remedy for
indifference.
When a flake of fire falls into a man’s bosom, he knows
it. And when the Word of God comes home to a man's
soul, he knows it, too. Oh that such fire might first sit
upon the disciples and then fall on all around!”
A Fire and Wind Prayer for Revival from C. H. Spurgeon,
the King of Preachers
Quoted from Spurgeon’s sermon

Spirit, fire and wind in Spurgeon's sermon.
