Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me, the
works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these
shall he do because I go unto my Father.

(John 14:12)
No other power on earth can quicken a dead soul except the same
power that raised the body of Jesus Christ out of Joseph’s
sepulcher. And if we want that power to quicken our friends who are
dead in sin, we must look to God and not to man to do it. If we
only look to ministers, if we only look to Christ’s disciples to do
this work, we shall be disappointed. But if we look to the Spirit
of God and expect that power to come from Him and Him alone, then
we shall honor the Spirit, and the Spirit will do His work.

May God show us this truth. Have we been toiling all night? Let us
throw our net on the right side; let us ask God to forgive our sins
and anoint us with power from on high. But remember, He is not
going to give this power to an impatient man; He is not going to
give it to a selfish man. He will never give it to an ambitious man
whose aim is selfish, until he is first emptied of himself –
emptied of pride and all worldly thoughts. Let it be God’s glory
and not our own that we seek, and when we get to that point, the
Lord will bless us for good. Then the measure of our blessing will
be full. Do you know what heaven’s measure is?
