“ There can be no prevailing in prayer without travailing in prayer. ”
It is even possible to be a martyr for the Faith and yet not love Jesus Christ.
~ Oswald J. Smith
Only those who spend much time in HIs presence will ever become like Him.
To be a Christian for ten year and to be no more like Jesus then than at the time of conversion, is a tragedy.
God can accomplish more through one message in the fulness of the Spirit than through hundreds given in the energy of the flesh.
