Matthew 3:11-13 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.

Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord a in one place. [2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. [3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

"baby your a firework" from Firework, song by Katy Perry

Sudden sound of rushing water
A mighty roaring wind
Carrying a flame of fire
It settled upon me, flowing over me
As a baptism in silent seas
A moment of stillness lasting a lifetime
Filing me with the heady warmth of fine wine
An overwhelming feeling of love and peace 
Boiled over from my eyes, dripping salty tears
Then I knew
The earnest search
The frantic seeking
For the truth of all things I had been embracing
For these many months, years...
Was finally filling every void inside me
Stretching this unlikely vessel to the breaking point
And every ounce of truth and love
Was as gun powder inside fireworks
The moment the spark of fire fell over me, 
That baptism of fire from the Holy Spirit, 
Had ignited!
And now EXPLODED forth from me in words and emotion
In prophecy and unconditional love
The testimony of Jesus Christ burst out from my mouth
Filing other willing vessels who seek truth, 
Who are searching for the face of love.
Maybe you.. like me, didn't know But...
Baby, you're a firework!
