D. L. Moody<\/b><\/p>\n
Moody was to have a campaign in England. An elderly pastor protested, \u201cWhy do we need this \u2018Mr. Moody\u2019? He\u2019s uneducated, inexperienced, etc. Who does he think he is anyway? Does he think he has a monopoly on the Holy Spirit?\u201d <\/p>\n
A younger, wiser pastor rose and responded, \u201cNo, but the Holy Spirit has a monopoly on Mr. Moody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles Finney<\/b><\/p>\n
Finney wrote how God gave him mighty infillings of the Holy Spirit: <\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026that went through me, as it seemed, body and soul. I immediately found myself endued with such power from on high that a few words dropped here and there to individuals were the means of their immediate conversion. My words seemed to fasten like barbed arrows in the souls of men. They cut like a sword. They broke the heart like a hammer. Multitudes can attest to this.\u2026Sometimes I would find myself in a great measure empty of this power. I would go and visit, and find that I made no saving impression. I would exhort and pray with the same results. I would then set apart a day for private fasting and prayer\u2026after humbling myself and crying out for help, the power would return upon me with all its freshness. This has been the experience of my life.\u201d <\/p>\n

No Room for the Spirit<\/b><\/p>\n
D. L. Moody said, \u201cI believe firmly that the moment our hearts are emptied of pride and selfishness and ambition and everything that is contrary to God\u2019s law, the Holy Spirit will fill every corner of our hearts. But if we are full of pride and conceit and ambition and the world, there is no room for the Spirit of God. We must be emptied before we can be filled.\u201d<\/p>\n
