9. Linking One’s Self With Holy Spirit Means Success—The success of the ministry of Elijah was not due to any inherited qualities he possessed, but to the submission of himself to the Holy Spirit, which was given to him as it will be given to all who exercise living faith in God. In his imperfection man has the privilege of linking himself up with God through Jesus Christ (Manuscript 148, 1899).{2BC 1037.1}

(1037) 9. Kædes ens selv op med Helligånden betyder succes.--Succesen med Elias gerning skyldtes ikke de nedarvede egenskaber han besad, men at han underkastede sig selv under Helligånden, som var givet ham, ligesom den vil gives til alle som udøver levende tro på Gud. I hans ufuldkommenhed har mennesket taget privilegiet at kæde sig selv sammen med Gud gennem Jesus Kristus. (MS 148, 1899).
