Many of those who are professedly followers of the Lord at the present time do not submit themselves to the guidance of his Spirit, but try to harness up the Holy Spirit, and drive it in their way. All such must abandon their self-sufficiency, and yield themselves unreservedly to the Lord, that he may work out his good pleasure in and through them.

Mange dem, som bekender sig til at være Jesu efterfølgere, underordner sig ikke under hans Ånds ledelse, men prøver på at tvinge Ånden til at virke efter deres vilje. De må opgive deres selvsikkerhed og overgive sig helt til Herren, så han kan udføre sin gode vilje gennem dem.
