One of the greatest problems in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ today is that God's people do not have a greater revelation of the reality of the Person of the Holy Spirit.
Because of this, much of the ministry that is being done is in the flesh; much of the worship that is being done is in the flesh; and much of the preaching that is being done is in the flesh.
To worship without the Holy Spirit is a waste of time; to pray without Him is a waste of time; and to reach the Bible without Him is a waste of time. In fact, to do anything before God without the Person of the Holy Spirit is nothing more than dead works!

“We as the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must come to the place where we have a greater dependency upon the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. We must begin to do what the Holy Ghost wants to do, not what we want to do.”
“The glory of God will not fall only on 120 people, as it did in the Upper Room; it will fall upon millions and millions of people! God will breathe upon the blood-bought Church-the called-out ones and they will rise up and go forth like a mighty army.”
