They Who Know

They who know in-depth of heart, the power of Salvation’s reach, feel within mercy’s grasp the debt of love to Christ alone. While many use empty words and quote the scriptures from lukewarm hearts there burns a blaze that lingers through their earthly days. It is the Hunger of the redeemed, longing for full redemption. Not some idle chat of this and that but a pure burning desire to be fully garmented in the Life of Christ the source of Holy Flame.

“And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it;
it shall not be put out…”
Leviticus 6:12

An excerpt from a poem by Tim Shey

“A circle of fire
Surrounds me
Protecting me
From Satan’s arm,
Warning me
Of Satan’s charm,
Keeping me
From Satan’s harm.

An intense burning
Within me
Is stoked by
The Word of God.
A deeply felt yearning
Within me
To warn them
Of the wrath of God.

Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Elijah,
I know you well,
Because I am baptized
With the same
Holy Ghost Fire
That empowered you
And kept you from Hell.

Jesus died
So that
I can see
Events
Before they are born.
I was birthed—
Not of flesh
Nor of the will of man—
I was birthed
In violence
By the Precious Blood of God.

His body was pierced
So that my eyes
Could pierce
The dark night of Adam
And help unblind the blind.
The white-hot heat of Heaven
Is the color
Of my sight
That leads us upward and onward,
Spirit-filled warriors of mankind.”

Ethos
Tim Shey

“I would that you were cold,
or hot”
Revelation 3:15
