"There's a fire within you and it ebbs and grows." Guyon


The Holy Spirit is likened to fire. The Holy Spirit came, as promised by Jesus, to be our comforter, teacher and guide. The Holy Spirit is within us. He even prays for us when we have no words. Surely, that is the purest prayer.


Guyon leaves instructions on how to fan the flame with in:

  • Come to God with faith

  • Turn inward to where God dwells

  • Set your mind on God

  • Remain quiet

  • As you sense the Lord's presence, rest

  • When you feel the presence lighten, worship

  • As His presence comes closer, be still once more

Guyon calls this the Second Level of Prayer.

There is no petition, platitude or complaint. The goal is simply to enjoy God.




Holy Spirit fire

burning deep within

I draw near

I draw near


All that I desire

is found within this realm

I draw near

I draw near


Closer than we've ever been

Nearer to the flame within

Burning, not consuming

I draw near

I draw near


Then I hear

Then I hear

Your love

Your grace Your presence

Face to Face

I draw near

I draw near


And You run to me

You run to me And You run to me

My King
