Let The Fire Burn

Good Morning!

There is a power God placed within every believer, a fire meant to rise, illuminate, and transform. Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise” captures the spirit of resilience that echoes through Scripture. Her words mirror the life of Jesus, who endured betrayal, lies, humiliation, and death itself. Yet, like dust lifted by the wind, He rose. The crucifixion was intended to silence Him, but the resurrection proved that nothing can extinguish God’s truth.

But the story doesn’t end at the empty tomb. Today, The Monday after Resurrection Sunday now carries a quiet but profound weight. Jesus told His followers to wait, not to rush, not to scatter, not to rely on their own strength. 

“Wait for the gift my Father promised.”

That gift was the Holy Spirit.

Without the Spirit, our faith becomes hollow, ritual without relationship, motion without meaning. The Holy Spirit is the fire that awakens us, the breath that revives us, the connection that binds us to Christ. He opens our eyes to see God’s truth and our ears to hear His voice (John 3:3; 1 Corinthians 2:12).

The Holy Spirit. Let the fire burn.
