Baptized by Blazing Fire

In January 2005, the pastor of "The Lord's Church" in South Korea, brother Yong-Doo Kim, led his congregation to hold all night prayer meetings for 30 days.  They met daily from evening until the next morning.  They prayed fervently with repentance, and on their knees with hands lifted straight up to the Lord, they prayed in tongues for hours.  During that time, the Lord opened their spiritual eyes, so that they could see in the spiritual realm.  They saw angels, demons, and even Jesus Himself.  He took some of them to visit heaven and hell, and the pastor wrote a book about it.  The book is called "Baptized by Blazing Fire."  There are actually five books in the series.

A short sample of the book is available online. At the links I've provided below, you can find various formats of all five book summaries, including Word, PDF, and MP3.  Numerous events, encounters, details and visions were not included in this summary version. For the complete version please purchase the book at Amazon.com.

The apostle Paul taught the Ephesian church about spiritual warfare.  He said, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Eph 6:10-12).   And he went on to say that we should pray in the Spirit always with all kinds of prayers for all the saints.  In his letter to the Corinthians, he defines praying in the Spirit as praying in tongues (1 Co 14:14-19), which is a gift given to those who have been baptized by the Holy Spirit.  And this is one of the keys to spiritual warfare, in addition to taking up the full armor of God.

I believe this book is a message from the Lord to the church today.  The Lord told brother Yong-Doo Kim that he would write a book about this experience and it would be read by people all over Korea and around the world.  The pastor was faithful to do what the Lord commanded, in spite of many demonic attacks that attempted to hinder the prayer meetings and the writing of the book.  Most Christians would have given up their attempt at the thirty days of prayer, as well as writing the book, but this pastor and his faithful little flock persisted to the end.  They overcame the obstacles and were victorious over the enemy.

Next to God's Word -- the Bible -- I think this is the most important book for the church to read right now.  We need to hear it and receive the message contained in it.

If you desire revival in your life, you should prayerfully read or listen to this book, and use the Testimony Review Process adopted by this blog, as you decide for yourself whether the Lord has spoken to him.  For issues and concerns, each person must confirm with the Lord, whether something is valid or not.

If you desire to overcome sin and learn how to be victorious over the flesh and the devil, then read the book.  If you want to know how to pray effectively in spiritual warfare, then read this book.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
