Why do we not hunger and thirst for the gift of the Spirit, since this is the means by which we are to receive power? Why do we not talk of it, pray for it, preach concerning it? The Lord is more willing to give the Holy Spirit to us than parents are to give good gifts to their children. For the baptism of the Spirit every worker should be pleading with God. Companies should be gathered together to ask for special help, for heavenly wisdom, that they may know how to plan and execute wisely. Especially should men pray that God will baptize His missionaries with the Holy Spirit. {8T 22.1}

Hvorfor hungrer og tørster vi ikke efter Helligåndens gave, når den er det middel, hvorved vi skal modtage kraft? Hvorfor taler vi ikke om den, beder om den og prædiker om den? Herren er mere villig til at give os sin Hellige Ånd, end forældre er til at give deres børn gode gaver. Enhver arbejder bør trygle Gud om Helligåndens dåb. Grupper bør samles for at bede om særlig hjælp og himmelsk visdom, for at de kan vide, hvordan de skal planlægge og handle forstandigt. Man bør især bede om, at Gud vil give sine missionærer Helligåndens dåb.
