Standing Between the Living and the Dead

| February 21, 2010 | no comments

“I began to cry as never before for a greater blessing from God. The hunger increased; I really felt that I did not want to live any longer. I kept on crying all the time that God would fill me with His Spirit.”

— D. L. Moody

Moody’s baptism with the Spirit was so overwhelming, so filling with the glory of heaven, that he felt he would be physically crushed there on the streets of New York. Moody’s cry, “God—stay Your hand!,” is not unusual for those upon whom the power of the Spirit has fallen. Many Old Testament saints as well as Saul of Tarsus in the New Testament literally fell to the ground when the power of God came upon them. Strange as it seems to some, that manifestation of the Spirit still occurs today. On that historic day, Dwight L. Moody left the spot as a new man—a new minister—and a true New Testament evangelist. What God did for him, He will do for us also who, “cry as never before … hunger … do not want to live” without being “filled with the Spirit.” Jesus said, “Ask and you shall receive.” Drop your religious objection and receive everything God has! Believe me, you will like the change.
