God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The hallmark of the preaching which the Spirit effects is 'boldness'... As in the Old Testament, when the Spirit fills the servant of God He 'clothes himself' with that person, and aspects of the Spirit's authority are illustrated in the courageous declaration of the Word of God. This boldness appears to involve exactly what it denotes: there is freedom of speech. We catch occasional glimpses of this in the Acts of the Apostles. What was said of the early New England preacher Thomas Hooker becomes a visible reality: when he preached, those who heard him felt that he could pick up a king and put him in his pocket!

What are the Substitutes for true Repentance? 1. You may reform in the actions without repenting in the heart (Ps. 51:16-17; Joel 2:13). 2. You may experience the emotion of repentance without the effect of it. 3. You may confess the words of a true repenter and never repent (Mt. 21:28-32; 1 Jn. 2:4, 4:20). 4. You may repent for the fear of reprisal alone and not for the hatred of sin. 5. You may talk against sin in public like a true repenter but never repent in private (Mt. 23:1-3). 6. You may repent primarily for temporal gains rather than the glory of God. 7. You may repent of lesser sins for the purpose of avoiding the greater sins (Lk. 11:42). 8. You may repent so generally that you never repent of any specific sin at all. 9. You may repent for the love of friends and religious leaders and not repent for the love of God (Isa. 1: 10-17). 10. You may confess the finished action of sin and not repent from the continuing habit of sin. 11. You may attempt repentance of your sin while consciously leaving open the door of its opportunity. 12. You may make an effort to repent of some sins without repenting of all the sin you know.
