HYMN ‘LET THE FIRE FALL’

LET THE FIRE FALL 1. They were gathered in an upper chamber, As commanded by the risen Lord, And the promise of the Father There they sought with one accord, When the Holy Ghost from heaven descended Like a rushing wind and tongues of fire: So dear Lord, we seek Thy blessing, Come with glory now our hearts inspire. Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, Let the fire from heaven fall; We are waiting and expecting, Now in faith, dear Lord, we call; Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, On Thy promise we depend; From the glory of Thy presence, Let the Pentecostal fire descend.

LET THE FIRE FALL 2. As Elijah we would raise the altar For our testimony clear and true, Christ the Saviour, loving Healer, Coming Lord, Baptizer too, Ever flowing grace and full salvation, For a ruined race Thy love has planned; For this blessed revelation, For Thy written Word we dare to stand. Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, Let the fire from heaven fall; We are waiting and expecting, Now in faith, dear Lord, we call; Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, On Thy promise we depend; From the glory of Thy presence, Let the Pentecostal fire descend.

LET THE FIRE FALL 3. ’Tis the covenanted promise given, To as many as the Lord shall call, To the Fathers and their children, To Thy people, one and all; So rejoicing in Thy Word unfailing, We draw nigh in faith Thy power to know; Come, O come Thou burning Spirit, Set our hearts with heav’nly fire aglow. Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, Let the fire from heaven fall; We are waiting and expecting, Now in faith, dear Lord, we call; Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, On Thy promise we depend; From the glory of Thy presence, Let the Pentecostal fire descend.

LET THE FIRE FALL With a living coal from off Thy altar 4. Touch our lips to swell Thy wondrous praise, To extol Thee, bless, adore Thee, And our songs of worship raise; Let the cloud of glory now descending, Fill our hearts with holy ecstasy; Come in all Thy glorious fulness, Blessed Holy Spirit, have Thy way. Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, Let the fire from heaven fall; We are waiting and expecting, Now in faith, dear Lord, we call; Let the fire fall, let the fire fall, On Thy promise we depend; From the glory of Thy presence, Let the Pentecostal fire descend.

THE BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY GHOST SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES LESSON 648: THE BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY GHOST

LESSON 648: THE BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY GHOST SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES LESSON 648: THE BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY GHOST MEMORY VERSE “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” John 7: 37 TEXT: Acts 2: 1 – 40

STUDY SUMMARY Previous study focused on “Comfort for Suffering Believers” The chapter addresses some questions regarding Paul’s calling and ministry. It highlights our responsibilities to hurting and suffering saints. It is edifying when ministers and members of the church serve as agents comfort to suffering believers in need of encouragement. In our study today, we understand that the baptism with the Holy Ghost is a definite Christian experience subsequent to sanctification. The believer is anointed with the power of God and energized for service. This experience plays a vital role in the spiritual life and service of every believer. Filled with power from on high, the feeble believer becomes dynamic, the lukewarm becomes aggressive in evangelism and ordinary believers becomes a mighty instrument in the hand of God.

This experience is vital and central to victorious Christian living and effective Christian service. Baptism with the Holy Ghost comes with accompanying supernatural manifestation of power, with the initial evidence of speaking in a previously unlearned tongue. The believer must thirst for this experience. “For the promise is unto you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call” Acts 2: 39
