If we want tongues set on fire by heaven than our lives must first be ablaze with holy fire for Jesus. The world may not understand this, but it is waiting for the moment when saints will be so full of the Spirit that they proclaim to a dying world with tongues of holy fire the wonders of our crucified and resurrected Lord. Listen to this podcast so you can learn how to be a part of the awesome work the Lord is doing through His people.
