It was not John Hyde: it was the Holy Spirit of God whom one consecrated man, filled with that Spirit, brought down upon all around him. May we not all become “Praying Hydes”?

My friend, you don’t get anywhere until you begin to realize that the flesh profiteth nothing and that we do not go into training in order that we may be perfected to do His work. But if we get the right kind of teaching when we’re there, we go into training to be told that we by ourselves are absolutely helpless without the power of God coming upon us.

You might as well try to hear without ears, or breathe without lungs, as try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart.

The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.

The mark of a life governed by the Holy Spirit is that such a life is continually and ever more and more occupied with Christ, that Christ is becoming greater and greater as time goes on…. Oh, the depths, the fullness, of Christ!  If we live as long as ever man lived, we shall still be only on the fringe of this vast fullness that Christ is.

If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He does not ask you to put it right; He asks you to accept the light, and He will put it right.  A child of the light confesses instantly and stands bared before God; a child of darkness says — “Oh, I can explain that away.”

The Holy Ghost calls for crusaders … How many ministers would be in church if it were not their job? The answer will be found in the number who never go to the job that is outside.

Is the Gospel really dynamite, or does it need all sorts of human institutions and money? Much of the work we have done in the name of Jesus Christ has been, not to perform miracles of the Holy Ghost, but miracles of gold.

My spirit turns to Thee and clings,
All else forsaking, unto Thee;
Forgetting all created things,
Remembering only “God in me.”
O living Stream; O gracious rain,
None wait for Thee, and wait in vain.
