Baptized by Fire

Seeking and asking, we knock with expectation.
Waiting patiently, we cry out for fire to claim.
To be fiery flames, we pray for His Spirit to inflame.
Embracing His flame, fire burns in our spirits.

Breathing upon us, fire touching, our spirits ignite.
Other languages bursting forth, we utter in delight.
Cleansed by the spirit of burning, sinful chaff burns.
Igniting the soul, flames ignite passion that conforms.

Sinful desires burned and turned to ash, soil readies.
Baptized by fire, new roots go deep into God’s soil.
New soil plowed, kingdom seeds sprout, giving new life
The Lord’s planting bursting forth, fruitfulness appears.

Refreshed with other tongues, we speak to strengthen.
Speaking in the Lord's language, His fire consumes.
Baptized by fire, divine revelation gives birth to zeal.
His word burning deep within, His fire burns brightly.

Gifts given accordingly, we press forward, inflamed.
Passion burning brightly, we pursue, strengthened.
Living and moving in Him, baptized by fire, we display.
Giving glory in all things, fire consuming, we break away.

No longer mired in unbelief, faith overcomes to reclaim.
Enlightened by all seen and heard, we go forth inflamed.
Igniting flames in others, we rejoice in all He performs.
Baptized in fire, flames spread rapidly to transform.


I Indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Matthew 3:11

Review of Ken's Book,
"Treasures of the Heart"

Ken Birks has written a masterpiece of superb continuity. The majestic flow from Poem to Poem contains powerful prophetic revelation that delights the heart. I was amazed at how the poems were Davidic and musical – They flowed like a delightful streams with heavenly impartations.
