‘There is nowhere, no single place in which the bible mentioned "Holy Ghost Fire" or directly or indirectly instructed us to use "Holy Ghost Fire" or "Holy Spirit" to destroy enemies that we hate or to burn down imaginary witches and wizards.

“Nowhere, I mean no single place in the entire theology and teachings of the Church and even all the prayers of the Catholic Church, will you see any mention of "Holy Ghost Fire" in the way most of you understand it as a weapon to kill demons, enemies or to take back destinies (whatever that means). Where did you guys learn all these Holy Ghost Fire die die die sort of prayers from?”
