LORD, Fill Us With YOUR HOLY SPIRIT To The Brim. AMEN.

Alas, what an amount of powerless machinery 
we have in the so-called religious world!
Archibald Brown, "What Our Churches Need!")

Alas, what an amount of powerless 
machinery we have in the so-called 
religious world!

Powerless, because it has no unction of the SPIRIT. 
Powerless, because it is the work of man--
not the working of GOD through the man. 
Powerless, because it is dry and artificial.
Powerless, because it is done by men 
who have never 

"tarried until they were endued with 
power from on high." (Luke 24:49b)

Instrumentality is almost worshiped--
while the HOLY SPIRIT is well-near ignored!

O, I wish that it were more realized by 
us all, that apart from the blessed SPIRIT, 
our acquirements and preparations are 
nothing, and can do nothing!  

GOD'S church is hindered, not helped, 
by any instrumentality that lacks 
the HOLY  SPIRIT.
