Holy Spirit

Missions – John Stott

His authority on earth allows us to dare to go to all the nations. His authority in heaven gives us our only hope of success. And His presence with us leaves us no other choice.

The Holy Spirit Coming Upon DL Moody

[Speaking of the Holy Spirit coming upon him]

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 dust in the balance.

The Test Is a Blazingly Holy Life – Oswald Chambers

We are saved and sanctified for God, not to be specimens in His showrooms, but for God to do with us even as he did with Jesus—make us broken bread and poured-out wine as he chooses. That is the test—not spiritual fireworks or hysterics, not fanaticism, but a blazingly holy life that confronts the horror of the world with a fierce purity—chaste physically, morally and spiritually—and this can only come about in the way it came about in the life of Our Lord.

– Oswald Chambers –

Fresh Endeavor of Evangelism – AJ Gordon

Whenever, in any century, whether in a single heart or in a company of believers, there has been a fresh effusion of the Spirit, there has followed inevitably a fresh endeavor in the work of evangelizing the world.”

The Practice of the Presence of God – Brother Lawrence

I cannot imagine how religious persons can live satisfied without the practice of the presence of GOD. For my part I keep myself retired with Him in the depth of centre of my soul as much as I can; and while I am so with Him I fear nothing

Presuming You Are Saved? – Charles Spurgeon

Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.

– Charles Spurgeon –

A Revival to Cleanse and Revive – Mary Booth

How we have prayed for a revival — we did not care whether it was old-fashioned or not — what we asked for was that it should be such that would cleanse and revive His children and set them on fire to win others.
