The Acts of the Apostles
that leads to entire dependence upon God, and unreserved consecration
to His work—will avail to bring to men the Holy Spirit’s aid in the
battle against sin.
Every worker who follows the example of Christ will be prepared
to receive and use the power that God has promised to His church for
the ripening of earth’s harvest. Morning by morning, as the heralds of
the gospel kneel before the Lord and renew their vows of consecration
to Him, He will grant them the presence of His Spirit, with its reviving,
sanctifying power. As they go forth to the day’s duties, they have the
assurance that the unseen agency of the Holy Spirit enables them to be
“laborers together with God.”
