The Holy Ghost Fills Men With Jesus

The greatest sin in the American nation and the church is that we have grieved the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person and He possesses all the attributes of personhood as the Father and the Son. He loves, He calls, He has compassion, and He can be wounded by rejection. Every great revival was propelled by a fresh understanding of the role of the Spirit in the church. He alone can exalt Jesus Christ in your life and in Christ’s church. Sinners know they are sinners when the Holy Ghost is convicting the congregation. All our human programs are nothing but noise until the Spirit is at work in our midst. The Book of Acts is not a relic of the past, but the manifesto of the New Testament church. If we ignore it, we will continue to move toward the emerging church of failure and compromise. The name on the church sign is irrelevant, if the Holy Ghost is not in charge of the church. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14). That’s an awesome statement that applies to our personal life as well as our church life. Again, Paul said, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” (Romans 8:11). The church world needs a Holy Ghost revival. That’s what happened in D.L. Moody’s day. It happened in the early days of Billy Graham. A sovereign revival occurred at Yale University during the first decade of 1900 A.D. I have a book that was written by the very men and women of God that led that revival. It was a sovereign move of the Holy Ghost. That alone will save America from a revolution.
