A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else’s way; you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.
– Charles Spurgeon –
When the Spirit came to Moses, the plagues came upon Egypt, and he had power to destroy men’s lives; when the Spirit came upon Elijah, fire came down from heaven; when the Spirit came upon Gideon, no man could stand before him; and when it came upon Joshua, he moved around the city of Jericho and the whole city fell into his hands; but when the Spirit came upon the Son of Man, He gave His life; He healed the broken-hearted.
– Dwight L. Moody –
Take the very hardest thing in your life — the place of difficulty, outward or inward, and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there He can bring your soul into blossom.
– Lilias Trotter –
Confusion and impotence are the inevitable results when the wisdom and resources of the world are substituted for the presence and power of the Spirit.
– Samuel Chadwick –
I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking God to do His work though me.
– Hudson Taylor –
You might as well expect to raise the dead by whispering in their ears, as hope to save souls by preaching to them, if it were not for the agency of the Spirit.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Some preachers ought to put more fire into their sermons or more
sermons into the fire.
– Vance Havner –
A man set on fire is an apostle of his age …Tell me, is your ministry a burning and shining light, or a smoking wick, slowly dying out to ashes? … We need the dynamic of a flaming ministry that will set the Church on fire.
– Samuel M. Zwemer –
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.
– David Griffin –
