“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only-Begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Would that everyone whose name is written in the church books could from the heart utter these words. The church members need to know from experience what the Holy Spirit will do for them. It will bless the receiver, and make him a blessing. It is sad that every soul is not praying for the vital breath of the Spirit, for we are ready to die if it breathe not on us. {TM 63.3}

»I begyndelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, ordet var Gud. Dette var i begyndelsen hos Gud. Alt er blevet til ved det, og uden det blev intet til af det, som er. I det var liv, og livet var menneskernes lys. Og lyset skinner i mørket, og mørket fik ikke bugt med det.« »Og Ordet blev kød og tog bolig iblandt os, og vi så hans herlighed, som den enbårne Søn har den fra Faderen, fuld af nåde og sandhed.« Ville da enhver hvis (64) navn var skrevet i menighedsbøgerne kunne udtale disse ord fra hjertet. Menighedsmedlemmerne mangler at vide, af erfaring hvad, Helligånden vil gøre for dem. Den vil velsigne modtageren, og gøre en velsignelse for ham. Det er trist at alle sjæle ikke beder for Åndens livsvigtige pusterum, for vi vil simpelt hen dø hvis den ikke puster på os.
