Where the fire burns, it takes less physical exertions to deal with the serpent. Often, one little viper would throw a whole congregation into pandemonium, because there is no heat there to drive out the beast; no fire in which to burn it.
What people do then, when the fire is absent, is either to stay helpless at the beast’s mercy, or flee helter-skelter. Otherwise, orthodox sympathisers would resort to the more laborious method of hitting the serpent with sticks, if they readily find sticks. But where the Pentecostal fire of the Holy Spirit burns, little effort is required. All it would take simply, would be to shake the useless thing into the burning judgment fire of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Does the fire burn where you are?
