We need to get the grammar right:
the Holy Spirit is not only past
tense, but present tense as well.
We need to get the math right:
the Holy Spirit of the New Testament
equals the Holy Spirit of our
present time and circumstances.
We need to get the colours right:
the Holy Spirit doesn't belong just
to one race, but to all colours.
We need to get the language right:
the Holy Spirit doesn't just speak
in our language, but in many tongues.
We need to get the location right:
the Holy Spirit doesn't belong
only behind our closed church doors,
but has burst out into the whole world.
If the Holy Spirit is not confined,
then how can we tell where the spirit is present?
Just keep your eyes and ears open
for the fire and the breath of new life!
