Man's chief merit consists in resisting the impulses of his nature.

Let us give ourselves indiscriminately to everything our passions suggest, and we will always be happy…Conscience is not the voice of Nature but only the voice of prejudice.

Being filled with the Spirit is simply this - having my whole nature yielded to His power. When the whole soul is yielded to the Holy Spirit, God Himself will fill it.

For you are to observe, that Body begins not from itself, nor is any Thing of itself, but is all that it is, whether pure or impure, has all that it has, whether of Light or Darkness, and works all that it works, whether of Good or Evil, merely from Spirit.

We can not effectively serve God without the Holy Spirit.

When God works in us, the will, being changed and sweetly breathed upon by the Spirit of God, desires and acts, not from compulsion, but responsively.

We're not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.

The soul that journey's to God, but doesn't shake off it's cares and quiet it's appetities, is like someone who drags a cart of dirt uphill.

The Church is where it is today because it has decided that the advertising agents know better than the Holy Spirit of God.

The great distinction of a true Christian is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. How careful should he be, lest anything in his thoughts or feelings would be offensive to the Divine Guest.

Unless the Spirit of God is with us, we cannot expect that our prayers will be answered.

Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.
