“It is impossible to overestimate the importance of being filled with the Spirit.”

You must be yielded to the Word of God. The Word will work out love in our hearts, and when practical love is in our hearts, there is no room to boast about ourselves. We see ourselves as nothing when we get lost in this divine love.

Whatever God has done for other men, He can do for me.

Great triumphs can only come out of great trials

Read the Word. Consume the Word until it consumes you. Believe the Word. Act on the Word.
