"The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has
more faith in the world and the flesh than in the Holy Ghost, and
things will get no better till we get back to His realized presence
and power."
- Samuel Chadwick
"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
"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
"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
"Perhaps their speech does convey truth, but without the
quickening of the Holy Spirit even truth is of small advantage."
- Watchman Nee
"God commands us to be filled with the Spirit, and if we are not
filled, it is because we are living beneath our privileges."
- Dwight L. Moody
"God nowhere asks anyone to have a large church. He only
calls us to do his work, proclaiming his Word to people he loves
under anointing power of the Holy Spirit to produce results that
only he can bring about."
- Jim Cymbala
"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
"Read whatever chapter of scripture you will, and be ever so
delighted with it - yet it will leave you as poor, as empty and
unchanged as it found you unless it has turned you wholly and
solely to the Spirit of God, and brought you into full union with
and dependence upon him."
- William Law
