The Lord requires the human agent not to move by impulse in speaking, but to move calmly, speak slowly, and let the Holy Spirit give efficiency to the truth. Never think that in working yourselves up to a passion of delivery, speaking by impulse, and suffering your feelings to raise your voice to an unnaturally high key, that you are giving evidence of the great power of God upon you.... {Ev 668.1}

Herren forlanger at menneskeagenten ikke handler ud fra impulser når han taler, men handler stille og taler langsomt, og lad Helligånden give sin virkning på sandheden. Tro aldrig at du ved arbejde dig selv op til en forløsende passion, tale ud fra impulser og lade dine følelser løfte din røst til et unaturligt toneleje, at du beviser Guds store kraft over dig. . . . .
