Unction comes to the preacher not in the study but in the closet. It is heaven’s distillation in answer to prayer. It is the sweetest exhalation of the Holy Spirit. It impregnates, suffuses, softens, percolates, cuts, and soothes. It carries the Word like dynamite, like salt, like sugar; makes the Word a soother, an arranger, a revealer, a searcher; makes the hearer a culprit or a saint, makes him weep like a child and live like a giant; opens his heart…as gently, yet as strongly as the spring opens the leaves.

Is it too much to expect our God to do ‘exceedingly abundantly above?’ Can we put a strain on Omnipotence; can we exhaust infinite Love?

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.

My dear brethren, do not try to make [the gospel] tasteful to carnal minds. Hide not the offense of the cross, lest you make it of none effect. The angles and corners of the gospel are its strength: to pare them off is to deprive it of power. Toning down is not the increase of strength, but the death of it … Learn, then, that if you take Christ out of Christianity, Christianity is dead.

It is not great talents nor great learning nor great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God – men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it. These can mold a generation for God.

There is power through prayer. For many Christians, prayer is nothing special, just something we’re supposed to do – go to church, tithe, read the Bible, pray. But prayer should be so much more than an item on our “to do” lists.

A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God’s Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin.

Satan dreads nothing but prayer … He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

If you are strangers to prayer you are strangers to power.
