Power from on High

From Chapter 8, "Preacher Save Thyself": I AM not going to preach to preachers, but to suggest certain conditions upon which the salvation promised in this text may be secured by them. 1st. See that you are constrained by love to preach the gospel, as Christ was to provide a gospel. 2nd. See that you have the special enduement of power from on high, by the baptism of the Holy Ghost. 3rd. See that you have a heart, and not merely a head call to undertake the preaching of the gospel. By this I mean, be heartily and most intensely inclined to seek the salvation of souls as the great work of life, and do not undertake what you have no heart to. 4th. Constantly maintain a close walk with God. 5th. Make the Bible your book of books. Study it much, upon your knees, waiting for divine light.
