Holy Spirit

The Spirit Convinces – Richard Sibbes

Where the Spirit of Christ is it also convinces (John 16:8). That is, it brings clear evident conviction with it, that the truth of God is the truth of God.

from Glorious Freedom, 1639

Preach with the Anointing – Duncan Campbell

Preaching truth without the anointing of the Holy Ghost is helping the devil to damn souls. There’s nothing on earth today so deadening as preaching without heaven’s anointing. Refrain from preaching unless you know that the dew of heaven is on your soul.

Purified Mind and Life – Smith Wigglesworth

God wants to purify our minds until we can bear all things, believe all things, hope all things and endure all things. God dwells in you, but you cannot have this divine power until you live and walk in the Holy Ghost, until the power of the new life is greater than the old life.

God Asks You To Do Something You Aren’t Able To Do – Henry Blackaby

Will God ever ask you to do something you are not able to do? The answer is yes–all the time! It must be that way, for God’s glory and kingdom. If we function according to our ability alone, we get the glory; if we function according to the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory. He wants to reveal Himself to a watching world.

Power and Life – David Wilkerson

When you strip it of everything else, Pentecost stands for power and life. That’s what came into the church when the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost.

Crying for the Filling of the Holy Spirit – DL Moody

I was crying all the time that God would fill me with His Spirit. Well, one day, in the city of New York — oh, what a day! — I cannot describe it, I seldom refer to it; it is almost too sacred an experience to name. Paul had an experience of which he never spoke for fourteen years. I can only say that God revealed Himself to me, and I had such an experience of His love that I had to ask Him to stay His hand. I went to preaching again. The sermons were not different; I did not present any new truths, and yet hundreds were converted. I would not now be placed back where I was before that blessed experience if you should give me all the world — it would be as the small dust of the balance.
