Today I would like to lift the lid of my heart to you and talk about a person, about one on whom I am completely dependent on and that person is the Holy Spirit. I know so well what David meant when he cried out from the deepest recesses of his being, \\\"Take not thy Holy Spirit from me! You may take away everything that I have, leaving me with but the clothing on my body and the shoes on my feet, but take not the Holy Spirit from me! So important to me is the mighty Third Person of the Trinity!
You may strip me of everything that I possess, and of a truth, I vow before the visible and the invisible, before every angel in glory, before the Father and the great High Priest at the Father's right hand, and before the Holy Spirit himself: if ever I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the anointing of the Holy Spirit has been lifted off my life, no longer dwelling within me, I will never again stand behind another pulpit. I will never again hold a miracle service. I will never again preach a sermon. Why? Because I know wherein lies the secret of the success of this ministry. I am absolutely and completely dependent on the mighty Third Person of the Trinity. He is one whose power convicts of sin, who heals the sick, and whose leading has become very familiar to me.
As a result of what I have experienced, I believe the time has come when I should share with you what I have learned regarding the Holy Spirit. We are living in the eleventh hour of this age; we are standing on the threshold of the catching up. God is pouring out his Spirit upon all flesh. But because of a lack of proper teaching, there are some who have gotten off the track. How can I express it? There are some who have become too familiar in their regard for the Holy Spirit, lacking in reverence, speaking his name, and using it lightly. Remember, this third person of the Trinity is holy, and when I speak his name, I feel like speaking it very softly, very conscious that he is a member of the Trinity. I can never tell you about my relationship with the Holy Spirit. I can never tell you what I feel regarding this one whom Jesus sent to us. I can never begin to tell you how sacred he is to me. I caution you to remember his great importance and beg you not to treat him lightly
