Great faith is the product of great fights. Great testimonies are the outcome of great
tests. Great triumphs can only come out of great trials.

The Bible is the Word of God: supernatural in origin, eternal in duration,
inexpressible in valor, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority,
universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in totality. Read it through, write
it down, pray it in, work it out, and then pass it on. Truly it is the Word of God. It
brings into man the personality of God; it changes the man until he becomes the
epistle of God. It transforms his mind, changes his character, takes him on from grace
to grace, and gives him an inheritance in the Spirit. God comes in, dwells in, walks in,
talks through, and sups with him.

One half of the trouble in the assemblies is the peoples murmuring over the
conditions they are in. The Bible teaches us not to murmur. If you reach that standard,
you will never murmur anymore. You will be above murmuring. You will be in the
place where God is absolutely the exchanger of thought, the exchanger of actions, and
the exchanger of your inward purity. He will be purifying you all the time and lifting
you higher, and you will know you are not of this world (John 15:19).

God wants to purify our minds until we can bear all things, believe all things, hope
all things, and endure all things. God dwells in you, but you cannot have this divine
power until you live and walk in the Holy Ghost, until the power of the new life is
greater than the old life.

I will tell you, for I never saw a man get anything from God who prayed on the earth.
If you get anything from God, you will have to pray into heaven; for it is all there. If
you are living in the earth realm and expect things from heaven, they will never come.
And as I saw, in the presence of God, the limitations of my faith,

Six people went into the house of a sick man to pray for him. He was an
Episcopalian vicar, and lay in his bed utterly helpless, without even strength to help
himself. He had read a little tract about healing and had heard about people praying
for the sick, and sent for these friends, who, he thought, could pray the prayer of faith.
He was anointed according to James 5:14, but, because he had no immediate
manifestation of healing, he wept bitterly. The six people walked out of the room,
somewhat crestfallen to see the man lying there in an unchanged condition. When
they were outside, one of the six said, There is one thing we might have done. I wish
you would all go back with me and try it. They went back and all got together in a
group. This brother said, Let us whisper the name of Jesus. At first when they
whispered this worthy name nothing seemed to happen. But as they continued to
whisper, Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! the power began to fall. As they saw that God was
beginning to work, their faith and joy increased; and they whispered the name louder
and louder. As they did so the man arose from his bed and dressed himself. The secret
was just thus, those six people had gotten their eyes off the sick man, and they were
just taken up with the Lord Jesus Himself, and their faith grasped the power that there
is in His name. O, if people would only appreciate the power that there is in this name,
there is no telling what would happen.

There are people who begin waiting on God, and they do not know what they are
waiting forthey have no idea. I believe that God is making the thing so that you
cannot get out of it. You may refuse it, and you may come within its reach and come
outside the boundaries of it, but it is for you. It is a personal baptismit is not a
church baptism. It is for the body of believers who are to be clothed with the power
and unction, or anointing, of the Spirit by this glorious waiting. What do I mean by
saying it is not a church baptism? Why, I mean that people get their minds on a
building when I say church. You see, it is the believers who compose the body
believers in the Lord Jesus Christwhatever sect or creed or denomination they are. I
also tell you that Paul went so far as to say that some people have very strange ideas

of who will be ready for the coming of the kingdom. All in Christ will be ready, and
you have to decide whether you are in Christ or not. The Scripture says, in the first
verse of Romans 8, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in
Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. If
you are therepraise the Lord! That is a good position. I ask the Lord that He will

I know it was personally right, it was divinely right, for those apostles to hear what
Jesus said and to tarry for the Holy Spirit; however, it is not right now to tarry for the
Holy Spirit. Then why do we not all receive the Holy Spirit, you ask? Because our
bodies are not ready for it; our temples are not cleansed. When our temples are
purified and our minds are put in order so that carnalities and fleshly desires and
everything contrary to the Spirit have gone, then the Holy Spirit can take full charge.
The Holy Spirit is not a manifestation of carnality. There are any number of people
who never read the Word of God who could not be led away by the powers of Satan.
But the power of the Holy Spirit is most lovely, divine in all its construction. It is a
great refiner. It is full of life, but it is always divinenever natural. If you deal in the
flesh after you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, you cease to go on. Beloved, I want to
speak about something greater; something to lift your minds, elevate your thoughts,
and bring you into divine ways; something that elevates you out of yourself and into
God, out of the world and into a place where you know you have rest for your feet,
where you cease from your own works (Heb. 4:10), and where God works in you
mightily to will and to do for His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13). When I think about a
rivera pure, holy, divine riverI say, What can stand against its inrush?
Wherever it isin a railway coach, in the street, or in a meetingits power and flow
will always be felt; it will always do its work. Jesus spoke about the Holy Spirit that
was to be given. I want you to think about how God gave it, how its coming was
manifested, and its reception and its outflow after it had come.

Masters idea was of a river flowing through everyone who comes to Him. Whatever
you think about it, Jesus wants your salvation to be like a river, and I am sure that
Jesus is the ideal for us all. The lack today is the lack of understanding of that blessed
fullness of Christ. He came to do nothing less than to embody us with the same
manifestation that He had: the manifestation of doing. Turning for a moment to
Jesus attitude in the Holy Spirit, I would like you to see a plan there. In Acts 1, we
find that Jesus began both to do and teach (v. 1); the believer should always be so
full of the Holy Spirit that he begins to do, and then he can teach. He must be
ready for the man in the street. He must be instantly ready, flowing like a river. He
must have three things: ministration, operation, and manifestation, and these three
things must always be forthcoming. We ought to be so full of the manifestation of the
power of God that, in the name of Jesus, we can absolutely destroy the power of
Satan. We are in the worldnot of it (John 17:11, 14). Jesus overcame the world
(John 16:33), and we are in the world to subdue it unto Godas overcomers. We are
nothing in ourselves, but in Christ we are more than conquerors (Rom. 8:37)
through the blood of Jesusmore than a match for satanic powers in every way.
Therefore, may the Lord let us see that we must be loosed from ourselves. For if you
examine yourself, you will be natural, but if you look at God, you will be
supernatural. If you have a great God, you will have a little Devil; and if you have a
big Devil, you will have a little god. May the Lord let us see that we must be so full of
the order of the Spirit of life that we are always overcoming him who had the power
of death, that is, the devil (Heb.
