From Secret Power, by D.L. Moody
The reason why the Church can not overcome the enemy is, because she don’t know how to use the sword of the Spirit.
When a man gets so full that he can’t hold any more, then he is just ready for God’s service.
God can not use many of his servants, because they are full of irritability and impatience.
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.
It is the work of the Spirit to impress the heart and seal the preached word.
No man can be a co-worker with God without love.
When the Spirit of God is on us the world looks very empty; the world has a very small hold upon us.
People see that we are carrying around empty buckets, and they will not come to us until they are filled.
There is no place in the Scriptures where it is recorded that God ever used even a discouraged man.
It takes the grace of God to love the man that lies about me, the man that slanders me, the man that is trying to tear down my character.
If our work is mere profession on our part, the quicker we renounce it the better.
