Holy Spirit Power

"I say, there is nothing like the power of the Holy Spirit. Only let that come, and, indeed, everything can be accomplished."

—Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Gifts of the Spirit

“There are no reasons why the gifts of the Spirit should be operative in one dispensation and not in another. They did not cease at the close of the Apostolic Age. They have been manifest in all ages of the Church”

Samuel Chadwick

The Way to Pentecost, pp. 146,147

Paul and Barnabus in Cyprus

"Paul and Barnabas didn't appear to have a five-year or even a one-year
plan. They got on the boat, and the wind of the Spirit, a supernatural and a
physical wind, blew them to Cyprus. Because Paul and Barnabas obeyed the
Spirit of God, the Church today is profiting 20 centuries later from those
churches that were launched."

Evidence, Initial and Substantial

“It does us little good to simply focus on initial evidence without focusing on substantial evidence.”

George O. Wood

(Message at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, September 14, 2007)

"Walk in the power of His Spirit."

"How can we minister in spiritual things if we are unspiritual? ... I’m talking about walking in the Spirit, living in the Spirit, and ministering through the enablement of the Spirit. We must have a keen sense of what God is doing. He will give you an awareness of opportunities you’ve never had before—daily, so that you can be the salt and you can be the light that He’s called all of us to be."

"I urge you to walk with the Lord. Walk in the power of His Spirit. Live with the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit so you will be effective. I promise you, on the authority of God’s Word, your ministry will flourish. God will bless."

God Is Bigger

“Some people spend too much time trying to understand the process, but God is bigger than our thought processes. We need to come away from trying to understand the ways of God and know He is able to accomplish what is needed. The power of the Holy Spirit is greater than all our problems.”

Charles T. Crabtree

The Spirit Shows You Christ

"The Spirit of God will take of the things of Christ and show them to you in order that you may have a longing for Christ in His fullness, and when there is that longing, God will not fail to fill you."

Smith Wigglesworth

("Present-Time Blessing for Present-Time Saints," Pentecostal Evangel, April 14, 1923)

It makes one humble

"Simply because I have been baptized in the Holy Spirit doesn’t make me better than somebody else. It’s not a license for one to become proud. It has the reverse effect. It makes one humble."

Tears and the Move of the Spirit

“Repentant tears are the waters upon which the Spirit of God moves.”

Brownlow North

Not all quotes for the Spirit-filled life seem positive. But this one is. The tears of the soul propel revival.

The ultimate purpose [of] the fullness of the Spirit

"The ultimate purpose for seeking the fullness of the Spirit is to be a witness for Christ in every part of life, to be so identified with the living Lord that He can be seen in us by everyone with whom we come in contact."

Charles T. Crabtree

("Too Good to Pass Up: The baptism in the Holy Spirit," Today's Pentecostal Evangel, May 28, 2006)

The Spirit-filled believer

"The Spirit-filled believer depends on the Holy Spirit to do what only the Holy Spirit can do."
