THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
Jesse M. Hendley
Matthew 6:6
Our Lord said, "When thou prayest, enter into thy
closet and shut thy door and pray to thy Father
which seeth in secret; and thy Father which seeth in
secret shall reward thee."
Why is it so few people pray? Why is it so few people
attain to a real prayer life? Why is it that people
can talk on the telephone an hour and cannot talk to
God fifteen minutes in prayer? Why is it people can
read the newspapers, books, novels and everything else
under the sun but cannot study the Bible for thirty
minutes? Why is it that people can talk about
politics, war, current events and everything else for
hours at a time but cannot speak to somebody else
about Jesus? Why is it there is so little power in the
Christian life?
The reason is that the majority of people are either
unsaved and do not possess the Spirit of God; or, if
they are saved and have the Spirit, they do not give
Him His way in their lives.
I want to speak to you now on "The Power of the
Spirit-filled Life." Lack of power is why people do
not continue to live the victorious life. Nobody but a
Spirit-filled person will maintain a prayer life. Only
a Spirit-filled person will maintain consistent Bible
reading day-in, day-out, year-in, and year-out. A
Spirit-filled person will be a witness for the Lord
Jesus Christ. Jesus said in Acts 1:8, "Ye shall
receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you, and ye shall be witnesses unto Me. "Why is it
so few Christians witness for the Lord?
This Message May Be For You
I hope you will listen to me very carefully. I hope
this will be helpful to you. This may be the message
for you. It is to my own heart, because more than any
thing else in this world, I want to live the Spirit-
filled life of power. I believe that you do, if you
are really born-again.
