Holy Fire! by Don Tipton

Originally from Ohio, he spent a number of years in Michigan, during which he was not only the lead singer for the band: Compassion, but was part of the worship team at his church, Macomb Christian Community Center, where he played acoustic guitar, and often led the worship.

Don Tipton now resides in the Nashville, Tennessee area.

He made the leap of faith to move to Nashville in 1996 when he decided to go solo, and start his own ministry for Christ.

He has been a Spirit filled Christian for most of his adult life.

His style of music ministers to young, and old alike.

Acoustic Guitar driven songs with an acoustic rock flavor, with close ties to modern praise & worship music, as heard on most contemporary Christian radio stations today.

Don Tipton is a Christian artist on a mission, to reach the world with the message of love, grace, forgiveness, and the salvation found in Jesus Christ, the true light of the world.

These are songs that will minister to you were you live. They will touch your heart, and spirit, and lead you into worship of the living God.

Songs such as the upbeat worship tune, "Hallelujah", to the country rock song "Holy Fire", the title cut from the album, to the easy listening finger picking song of "Here In Your Presence", which climbed to number three on the Christian charts at www.broadjam.com .

Message from Don:

Hi!, and welcome to my artist site at: www.cdbaby.com . My Name is Don Tipton. I'm a contemporary Christian music artist, and songwriter. I hope you will take the time to listen to my songs (to hear the complete songs you can go to: www.soundclick.com/dontipton),then come back here to: www.cdbaby.com/cd/tipton , and purchase the CD “Holy Fire!” for a mere $8.00.

I firmly believe that you will be blessed by these songs, and ministered to by their lyrics, and also moved by the conviction, and the heart, and soul I poured into these songs, because of my love for the risen Savior, Jesus Christ!

I'm currently only accepting bookings in the Nashville Tennessee, and surrounding areas, within an hour radius, and at the present time, can only book weekends.

If you like contemporary Christian, and modern praise & worship music, then I know you'll love my songs.

I do free concerts with love offerings taken for expenses. I do special appearances ( 1 to 3 songs) at Sunday Church services, and I perform at Christian retreats, conventions, coffee houses, and youth rallies.

I believe in these songs, because they are filled with the word of God. There is power in God's word, and it will not return unto Him void, but accomplish that which He has sent it to do.

The bible tells us that faith comes by hearing the word of God.

There is an anointing on God’s word, and scripture tells us that the anointing breaks the yoke of oppression.

Prepare yourself to by ministered to, set free, and taken into the very presence of God through the music of his servant. I can say this boldly, and without hesitation, because I know that these songs that the Lord has given me are filled with His word, His life giving, and life changing word. So sit back, relax, and take the journey with me to the throne room of God.

Be watching for my new Christian CD that I plan on releasing later this year called, "High Time".

If you are a Pastor, or music minister at your church, or even just a plain old Joe that would like to recommend me to your church leadership to come, and to minister in song, then contact by email at dontipministries@dontipton.com . Please only legitimate offers will be considered. Contact me for details.

O.K., so what are you waiting for? For once in your life make a commitment, and purchase the CD “Holy Fire”, right here at: www.cdbaby.com . It’s only eight bucks, you blow more than that on coffee, or soft drinks in a week, and besides, every dollar we make above expenses, goes right back into the work of this ministry, and the spreading of the gospel of Christ. Go for it!

Come, and visit my website at: www.dontipton.com , and please be sure, and sign my guest book.

Special Message:

If you've never accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord, and Savior, please take the time to do it now!

Tomorrow might be to late. The bible says our lives are but a mist, a vapor, here today, and gone tomorrow. None of us know when we will take our last breath, only God knows that, but there is good news. God has made a way for us to have eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ, who came to this earth as a man, and bore our sins in His body on the cross. He was crucified, and buried, but there is more good news. Jesus arose on the third day from the dead, and is now seated at the Father's right hand, and He will come again in glory to judge the living, and the dead.

My friend, you can know this same Jesus. He is alive, and well, and conquered the gates of hell. He went down into hell, and took the keys of death, and the grave from the Satan, and then Jesus arose from the grave.

The day He arose from the grave, Mary went to the grave side to mourn, and she was met by an angel, who asked her one of the greatest questions ever asked: "Why do you look for the living among the dead. " Why did he say that to a grieving Mary? Glory! I said Glorrrrryyyyy! I shout GLORY! I'll tell you why, because Jesus was no longer dead, He was, and is alive! He is still alive today! And the bible says," The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, (If you belong to Christ), and He shall give life to your mortal body! This same Holy Spirit, will not only give you life, He will give you resurrection life!!!!! Think about that for a minute. Jesus was dead laying on a slab of cold hard rock in a tomb that was sealed with a giant stone, and while His lifeless body lay there, all the power of God come rushing into that lifeless body, and death, the same death that claimed every man from Adam on down, could not hold Him in it's grasp, and all those zillions of volts of Holy Ghost electricity, The same Holy Spirit that was hovering over the dark void of this earth, when God said, "Let there be light," and there was light", that same Holy Spirit came rushing into Jesus lifeless body, and death could not hold Him! He arose, and He is alive! That same Spirit wants to dwell in you, and will dwell in you if you only ask Jesus to come into your life, and He will bring His light, the light of His eternal Spirit! Death could not hold Him, and there's no reason for you to fear death ever again, because death can not hold you either, if you believe in this same Jesus! Oh, your physical body will die, but death can not hold you, just like it could not hold Jesus, because He took back the keys of hell, and the grave, and death can not hold you, if you believe in Jesus. Jesus said, "Because I live you shall live also." If you believe in Jesus you have passed from death unto life, and though this mortal body will one day pass away, you will live forever, if you believe in the Son of the living God, notice I said, living God, and that's what you will be too, through Him, alive unto God, and dead to yourself. The Bible says, " God has set before you, life, and death, blessing, and cursing. Choose you this day Life! Your mortal body will die, but your spirit, which is the real you, will live forever.

The bible also tells us that, No man can come to the Father (GOD) unless he comes through the Son. (Jesus Christ). It also tells us that, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whomsoever believes in Him will not perish, but have ever lasting life. John 3:16 It also tells us that if you believe in your heart, and confess with your mouth, that Jesus Christ is Lord, then you will have eternal life.

Please take this opportunity to receive Christ as your Lord , and Savior, or maybe you have asked Jesus into your life at some point but you haven't been serving him like you know you should, you've put yourself, and your desires ahead of what God wants for you. You know He only wants what's best for you. Look in your heart you know what's wrong, you need to repent, and turn back to the one true living God who loves you , and only wants what is best for you.

Flee that sin that you've allowed to take hold of your life. Turn back to God, ask for His forgiveness, and like the prodigal son, He will greet you with open arms, and clothe you with His robe of righteousness. Please take this time to pray this prayer with me! Just say;

Dear Jesus,

I come before you now, knowing that I am a sinner. I ask you to forgive me of all my sins, and cleanse me from all unrighteousness, and cleanse me with your forgiveness, and clothe me in your robe of righteousness. I repent of all my past failures, and short comings. I know I've missed the mark, but please come into my heart, and my life right now, and fill me with your Holy Spirit, and baptize me in that same Holy Spirit. Teach me to live for you from this day forward. Give me a hunger for your word, and a desire to serve you all the days of my life. AMEN!!!!

If you've just prayed that prayer then I'd like to welcome you to the family of God!

Drop us an email at dontipministries@dontipton.com , and tell us about your decision to follow Christ. We'd love to hear from you, and pray for you, and please tell others about us, so we may share the good news of the gospel with them also. We are at: www.dontipton.com . Thank you for allowing us to serve you.

I urge you to now find someone, and tell them about your decision to follow Christ. The scriptures tell us that with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Please find a bible believing, Spirit filled church, and attend regularly, and spent time in prayer, and fellowship with God.

Read the bible daily. There are some links on my website at: www.dontipton.com , to aid you in your study of God's word, and your daily walk with Christ! Thanks for your time, and interest.

May God richly bless you now & forever!

His servant, Don Tipton
