The heart of the human problem, is the problem of the human heart.

This last month I have felt the burden of a city. Its great sorrow has pressed in on my soul. Its vice and sin have bowed me upon my knees in tears.

I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The world must be left outside until God alone fills the vision...God has promised to answer prayer. It is not that He is unwilling, for the fact is, He is more willing to give than we are to receive. But the trouble is, we are not ready...

Oh, to realize that souls, precious, never dying souls, are perishing all around us, going out into the blackness of darkness and despair, eternally lost, and yet to feel no anguish, shed no tears, know no travail! How little we know of the compassion of Jesus!

Let me say that it is not a question of us getting more of the Holy Spirit, but rather of the Holy Spirit getting more of us.

We all want to do the will of God, and we know that there is nothing nearer to His heart than the evangelization of the world.

I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
