He Himself is the Power!

Hudson Taylor: We are a supernatural people, born again by a supernatural birth, kept by a supernatural power, sustained by a supernatural food, taught by a supernatural Teacher from a supernatural book. We are led by a supernatural Captain in right paths to assured victories. The risen Saviour, ere He ascended on high, said to His disciples, "Ye shall receive power when the Holy Ghost is come upon you."Not many days after this, in answer to united and continued prayer, the Holy Ghost did come upon them, and they were all filled. Praise God, He remains with us still. The power given is not a gift from the Holy Ghost. He Himself is the power.

The Sin of Disobedience

Millions are perishing to-day without the knowledge of Christ, and will go on perishing, simply because the Church is not doing the work for which she was redeemed and endowed with God's Spirit...When we realize there is so much work that has not been done for no reason than that the Church was not what she ought to be...Our hearts will spontaneously cry out in humiliation and shame, and make confession of our sin. The sin of blood-guiltiness; the sin of disobedience; the sin of unbelief; the sin of selfishness and worldliness, grieving the Holy Spirit and quenching Christ's love in our hearts, for His love and His kingdom these sins will become a burden greater then we can bear, until we have laid them at our Lord's feet and had them removed by Him. ~Andrew Murray from "The Key to the Missionary Problem"
