A dear young Russian came to England. He did not know the language, but learned it quickly and was very much used and blessed of God; and as the wonderful manifestations of the power of God were seen, they pressed upon him to know the secret of his power, but he felt it was so sacred between him and God he should not tell it, but they pressed him so much he finally said to them: “First God called me, and His presence was so precious, that I said to God at every call I would obey Him, and I yielded, and yielded, and yielded, until I realized that I was simply clothed with another power altogether, and I realized that God took me, tongue, thoughts and everything, and I was not myself but it was Christ working through me.”
How many of you today have known
that God has called you over and over, and has put His hand upon you, but you
have not yielded? How many of you have had the breathing of His power
within you, calling you to prayer, and you have to confess you have
failed?
If God can have His way today,
the ministry of somebody will begin; it always begins as soon as you yield.
