Lighting Fires – Randy Clark
I just finished the book Lighting Fires by Randy Clark. The subtitle of the book is “Keeping the spirit of revival alive in your heart and in the hearts of others around you” though the book really has nothing to do with that.
Lighting Fires is an autobiographical account of Randy Clark’s life up untill just after the beginning of the Toronto Outpouring. Randy was the visiting minister when the fire fell there.
This book really inspired me on many levels. My favorite quote,
Discovering that you just received a word of knowledge can really put the pressure on you – pressure from without, pressure from within, and pressure from on high. As the natural man fights for the right to look nice and dignified in front of a crowd of friends and total strangers, the enemy in pounding from without, “Don’t do it! You’re going to look stupid! Don’t say anything!” But God keeps pouring on the pressure from on high and pretty soon you’re not just under the gun to give the word of knowledge; you’re sweating bullets.
Randy is a personal hero of mine. The man really came out of nowhere to lead an international move of God. Great book.
