[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 6028296, member: 26800"] Introduction This book brings a simple but solemn message.The one thing needed for the church in its search for spiritual excellence is to be filled with the Spirit of God. In order to secure attention to this message and attract the hearts of my readers to its blessing, I have laid particular emphasis on certain main points: 1. The will of God for every one of His children is that they live entirely and unceasingly under the control of the Holy Spirit. 2. Without being filled with the Spirit, it is impossible for an individual Christian or a church to ever live or work as God desires. 3. In the life and experience of Christians, this blessing is little used and little searched for. 4. God waits to give us this blessing, and in our faith we may expect it with the greatest confidence. 5. The self-life and the world hinder and usurp the place that Christ ought to occupy. 6. We cannot be filled with the Spirit until we are prepared to yield ourselves to be led by the Lord Jesus—to forsake and sacrifice everything for this “pearl of great price” (Matt. 13:46).
