Holy Ghost Fire

Acts 1:8 " But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth."

We once testified about people in Pentecost that were filled with Holy Ghost fire. It was that Pentecostal power that made a difference in the way they walked, talked and lived that made such an impression upon us. You could sense the very presence of God when you came in contact with them because you could feel the flames of heaven's holy fire burning in their hearts. It was evident in their personal lives, their prayers, and their lifestyle that the Holy Ghost had filled them with power from on high.

Traditionally, many believed that you had to be in a Pentecostal church to be filled with this Holy Ghost fire, but heaven’s fire doesn’t just burn in the hearts of certain Pentecostal people or denomination. It is available to all who choose to receive and accept this infilling of the Holy Ghost fire. Yes, you can be full of Heaven’s holy fire too, if you're born again and Jesus lives in your heart..

-You can light yourself up with love, joy, optimism, enthusiasm, energy, vitality, and oneness with God through the power of the Holy Ghost.

-You can brighten up the souls, warm up the hearts, and light up the lives of those around you with the fire of Pentecost.

-You can be a flame of goodness in an often dark and cold world, a witness to the lost and dying, and a flame of fire to those who need hope and help from the heavenly Father.

-You can take your flickering candle and turn it into a blazing torch for everyone to see for the glory of God with your anointed testimony.

-You can share your generous fire and light a candle inside of each person you meet as well through the power of Jesus and the Holy Ghost.

Don’t let yourself be a smoldering ember in this life. Live well, burn bright, and let the world see your Holy Ghost fire!
