There must be deep confession of guilt that we have so constantly grieved the Spirit, because we have not lived daily as His ministers; we must have simple childlike surrender to His leading in sure confidence that the Lord will work a change in us; and further, we must have daily fellowship with the Lord Jesus in ceaseless prayer. He will then give to us the Holy Spirit as rivers of living water.
