GREAT QUOTES on THE HOLY SPIRIT
Posted by: prophetic <prophetic@...>
"I remind you that there are churches so completely out of the
hands of God that if the Holy Spirit withdrew from them, they
wouldn't find it out for many months"
-A.W. Tozer
"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."
-D. L. Moody
"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."
-David Wilkerson
"My friends, I do not believe it is preaching Christ and him crucified,
to give people a batch of philosophy every Sunday morning and
evening, and neglect the truths of this Holy Book... nor does that
man preach Christ and him crucified, who leaves out the Holy
Spirit's work, who never says a word about the Holy Ghost, so
that indeed the hearers might say, "We do not so much as know
whether there be a Holy Ghost."
-Charles Spurgeon
"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."
-Henry Blackaby
