Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

Unction is a thing which you cannot manufacture, and its counterfeits are worse than worthless.

Scripture · Guidance & Wisdom

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Scripture · Guidance & Wisdom

Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

When the Spirit of God is on us the world looks very empty; the world has a very small hold upon us.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

This divine unction is the feature which separates and distinguishes true gospel preaching from all other methods of presenting the truth, and which creates a wide spiritual chasm between the preacher who has it and the one who has it not. It backs and impregnates revealed truth with all the energy of God. Unction is simply putting God in his own word and on his own preachers.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

God does not, by the instant gift of his Spirit, make us always feel right, desire good, love purity, aspire after him and his will.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

A man working without this unction, a man working without this anointing, a man working without the Holy Ghost upon him, is losing his time after all.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

Give yourself to the Lord definitely and fully, according to your present light, asking the Holy Spirit to show you all that is contrary to God.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

If you have much of the Spirit of God, it is not unlikely you will be thought deranged, by many. We judge men to be deranged when they act differently from what we think to be prudent and according to common sense.

Scripture · Guidance & Wisdom

Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

Truth unquickened by God’s Spirit deadens as much as, or more than, error.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

Without busying ourselves in curious, needless inquiries, touching those extraordinary gifts of the Spirit, let us take a nearer view of these his ordinary fruits, which we are assured will remain throughout all ages.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

A man may read the figure on the dial, but he cannot tell how the day goes, unless the sun shines upon the dial: we may read the Bible over, but we can not learn the purpose, till the Spirit of God shines into our hearts.

Scripture · Guidance & Wisdom

For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

As the branch thirsts for continued sap, so the believer thirsts for more of the Spirit.

Scripture · Guidance & Wisdom

When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

This unction is the art of preaching. The preacher who never had this unction never had the art of preaching. The preacher who has lost this unction has lost the art of preaching. This unction vitalizes God’s revealed truth, makes it living and life-giving.

Scripture · Guidance & Wisdom

Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh. His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

A man cannot live one hour a godly life unless by the power of the Holy Ghost.
