"Here is Catherine Booth speaking of the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit, and endued with power for service:'What unkind things have been said of the Salvation Army because people at our meetings have fallen on their faces under the convicting power of the Spirit.
But you see this is apostolic. I maintain that the only indispensable qualification for witnessing for Christ is to be endued with the power of the Holy Ghost.
Paul expressly declares that these things were not the power even where they existed, but that it was the Holy Ghost.

Therefore give me man, woman, or child with the Holy Ghost, full of love a zeal for God, and I say it would be a great strength and joy to that convert to testify to the Church and to the world.
When shall Peters and Marys be so filled with the Spirit that they cannot help telling what God has done for them, like the woman of Samaria who, when she had found Him of whom Moses and Prophets had written went and fetched her fellow-townsmen and women to hear Him.
The Master Himself adopted these very measures.
Someone said, 'Why are you sending people to preach who cannot read or write?'
For a moment I was staggered, but I asked Him, 'How many of the Apostles do you suppose could read and write when they were first sent out?'
And then it was the questioner's turn to be staggered. It was not the power of eloquence, but being able to cast out devils, that was the test.
Give me somebody able to cast out devils, and I don't care whether they can read or write.
Hence Jesus Christ chose the weak things of the earth to confound the mighty."

Let’s pray: Father, may we be open more to the moving of Your Holy Spirit. Open our hearts and eyes to what it is You want to do among, and in us. It is true that You know just what needs to be accomplished, and our desire is to be used by you. We pray for Your will to be done. In Jesus' Name, amen.
Today’s Bible
verse: Jer. 6:16 "Thus saith the LORD, 'Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.' "
Today’s quote:
Another good quote: J. Hudson Taylor "The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity. If we want to see mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure, and disappointment, let us answer God's standing challenge, 'Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and might things which thou knowest not!' "

Our thought today: Think about our standing in Christ Jesus. Thank God, we're justified! We need to be grace conscious.
