Chapter 30


Christ Empowers Us
Through His Holy Spirit



      When the people of God yield themselves to be controlled entirely by the Holy Spirit, in them will appear that Christlikeness which is in accordance with the richness and grandeur of the truth. 3ST 40

      Those who are open to the influence of the Spirit of God will receive strength to withstand the evils of this degenerate age. 2ST 175

      All the powers and the passions of the converted man are brought under the control of Christ. His spirit is a renewing power, transforming to the divine image all who will receive it. 2ST 130

      Through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature. Christ has given His Spirit as a divine power to overcome all hereditary and cultivated tendencies to evil, and to impress His own character upon the church. 5RH 42

      The Holy Spirit, Christ’s representative, arms the weakest with might to press forward to victory. 6RH 23

      Not by eloquence or logic men’s hearts are reached, but by the sweet influences of the Holy Spirit, which operate quietly yet surely in transforming and developing character. It is the still, small voice of the Spirit of God that has power to change the heart. 6RH 371

      It is the Holy Spirit that convinces of sin, and expels it from the soul by the consent of the human agent. 3RH 41

      The Holy Spirit will take the things of God and show them unto you, conveying them as a living power into the obedient heart. COL 149

      . . . (Christ) makes it plain to (His followers) that they shall have the help of the Holy Spirit in the battle. 2ST 457

169
      The Holy Spirit never leaves unassisted a soul who is looking to Jesus. It takes of the things of Christ, and shows them to the seeker. And if the eye is kept fixed upon Jesus, the work of the Spirit ceases not until the soul is conformed to His image. Through the gracious influence of the Spirit the sinner is changed in spirit and purpose, till he becomes one with Christ. 4ST 64

      The Holy Spirit will supply with grace those who feel their inefficiency. Those who trust in the Lord will be surrounded with a wall of light and holiness. 4ST 157

      The omnipotent power of the Holy Spirit is the defense of every contrite soul. No one who in penitence and faith has claimed His protection will Christ permit to pass under the enemy’s power. MH 94

      Through the influence of the Spirit of God, the believer is transformed in character; his taste is refined, his judgment is sanctified, and he becomes complete in Christ. YI 203

      The stronger the conflict, however, the more strength will the Holy Spirit impart to us. We are not left to struggle alone against the mighty opposing forces of evil. 5RH 345

      Jesus gives the Holy Spirit in large measure for great emergencies, to help our infirmities, to give us strong consolation, to illuminate our minds, and purify and ennoble our hearts. 3RH 162

      Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, satanic agencies will be overcome. 3RH 499

      God does not ask us to do in our own strength the work before us. He has provided divine assistance for all the emergencies to which our human resources are unequal. He gives the Holy Spirit to help in every strait, to strengthen our hope and assurance, to illuminate our minds and purify our hearts. 8T 19

      When he asks for the aid of the Holy Spirit, he will not seek in vain. YI 253

      The Spirit of Christ, flowing into the hearts of all who are indeed united with Him, makes them partakers of the divine nature. They become pure, even as He is pure. 1RH 285

      He can and will, if we submit to Him, fill the chambers of the mind and recesses of the soul with His Spirit. Then our will is in perfect harmony with the divine will. Our spirit may be so identified with His Spirit that in thought and aim we shall be one with Him. YI 420

170
      . . . through the agency of the Holy Spirit, the character is transformed, and the mind and will of the human agent are brought into perfect conformity to the divine will, and this is conformity to the divine standard of righteousness. YI 322

      The Holy Spirit works with those who will be worked, molds those who will be molded, fashions those who will be fashioned. MH 503

      The Holy Spirit is with them, quickening their minds, showing that Bible truth has life-giving power, power to convict hearts and transform lives. 4ST 396

      If we submit to the working of the Holy Spirit, God will make us partakers of the divine nature. Only by walking according to the commandments of God can we be clean. 4ST 84

      Molded and fashioned by the Holy Spirit, they gain depth and breadth and stability of Christian character. 4ST 249

      . . . those who receive the Spirit of God, though they were dead in trespasses and sins, will experience the active working of that power which raised Jesus Christ from the dead. 3ST 162

      Christ not only offers pardon to the believing, repenting soul, but He promises him the constant aid of the Holy Spirit. 3ST 54

      Those who on earth have formed characters that through the grace of Christ bear the heavenly mold, will be ripened through the gracious influence of the Holy Spirit for the eternal reward. 3ST 54

      The Holy Spirit recreates, refines, and sanctifies the human agents, that they may become members of the royal family, children of the Heavenly King. 3ST 32

      The Holy Spirit will bring the God-entrusted capabilities into Christ’s service, and will mold and fashion the human agent according to the divine pattern, in proportion as the human agent shall earnestly desire the transformation. YI 178

      If Christ dwells in the heart, the precious fruits of His Spirit will as a natural result be manifested in the life. 1RH 281

      The name and presence of the Holy Spirit are almost ignored, yet the divine influence is essential in the work of perfecting the Christian character. 3ST 56

      The Spirit of God works in the believer’s soul, enabling him to advance from one line of obedience to another, reaching on from

171
strength to greater strength, from grace to grace in Christ Jesus. 2RH 607

      The present message - justification by faith - is a message from God; it bears the divine credentials, for its fruit is unto holiness. 2RH 329

      As soon as the penitent one looks to the Saviour for help to turn from sin, the Holy Spirit begins His tranforming work upon the heart. 4RH 551

      The weakest and feeblest, if they exercise faith in God, and improve their entrusted powers, will be elevated, refined and perfected in character under the Holy Spirit’s working. 6RH 517

      The Holy Spirit, working upon human hearts and characters, will expel all tendency to covetousness, to deceptive dealing. 3RH 49

      Through the agency of the Holy Spirit, the soul is enlightened, and the character is renewed, sanctified, and uplifted. 3RH 117

      It is the Spirit of God that works to mold and fashion the human agent through acts oft repeated, to the model of Christ’s character. 3RH 297

      When the understanding is worked upon by the Holy Spirit, then all the affections act harmoniously in compliance with the divine will. 6T 481

      Whenever one renounces sin, which is the transgression of the law, his life will be brought into conformity to the law, into perfect obedience. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. 6T 92

      At every step they may renounce evil habits and associations, believing that the Lord, by the power of His Spirit, will give them strength to overcome. YI 610

      Through the agency of the Holy Spirit, the soul is enlightened, and the character is renewed, sanctified, and uplifted. 1SM 134

      . . . He has promised to give us His Holy Spirit, that we may be assimilated to His nature, changed into His image. 2ST 460

      Christ supplies the lifeblood of the heart, and the Holy Spirit gives nerve power. Begotten again unto a lively hope, imbued with the quickening power of a new nature, the soul is enabled to rise higher and still higher. 4ST 150

172
      The only security against falling into sin is to keep ourselves constantly under the molding influence of the Holy Spirit. . . . 4ST 131

      The Holy Spirit works in the children of obedience. He who is a partaker of the divine nature will think the thoughts of God. His perceptions will be sanctified by the grace of Christ. 4ST 366

      He receives the truth into the heart, and it accomplishes its transforming work upon the character. He is not able to change his own heart, but the Holy Spirit, through his obedience to the truth, sanctifies the soul. 2RH 578

      The work of overcoming is in our hands, but we are not to overcome in our own name or strength; for of ourselves we cannot keep the commandments of God. The Spirit of God must help our infirmities. 2RH 581

      Day by day, hour by hour, we must weave heavenly principles into our life, praying God that He will bestow His Holy Spirit upon us; for it is the Holy Spirit alone that can purify the affections, and uproot the tares that naturally grow in the heart. 2RH 587

      He who looks to Christ in simple, childlike faith, is made a partaker of the divine nature through the agency of the Holy Spirit. 2RH 617

      All the righteous demands of God will be met through sanctification of the Holy Spirit. 1SM 166
