But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." (Matthew 3:11)(Luke 3:16)
I emailed this to four pastors wanting to know what they thought this meant. One pastor responded. I emailed a fifth pastor, 8 days later I got a second response.
Does it mean God will burn off our sin (the chaff)? or... as Hillsong United's Consuming Fire lyrics say
There must be more than this
O breath of God, come breathe within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God we wait for you
Fill us anew we pray
Fill us anew we pray
CHORUS:
Consuming fire, fan into flame
A passion for your name
Spirit of God fall in this place
Lord have your way
Lord have your way with us
Come like a rushing wind
Clothe us with power from on high
Now set the captives free
Leaves us abandoned to your praise
Lord let your glory fall
Lord let your glory fall
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Stir it up in our hearts, Lord
A passion for your name
