God's Prophetic People - A People of Passion, Purpose And Power

God's Prophetic People

Illuminate my brow with the sun of heaven. Possess my mind with love for the people. Turpentine my imagination. Grease my lips. Electrify my brain with the lightning of the Word. Fill my plumb full of the dynamite of Glory. Anoint me all over with the kerosene of Salvation, And set me on fire.”

Which one of these two men do you see yourself like? Which one best describes you?

My prayer is that all of us, no matter where we are in our lives, be it young or old, zealous for God or maybe not so zealous, would pray the prayer this old Mississippi preacher prayed each and every day of our lives. May God inflame us all with holy passion!
