Secret Power: or the Secret of Success in Christian Life and Work

A Life of Power

Have you ever met someone who stands out from the crowd?

They're strong, confident, and full of peace. Even thought they face the same stresses and difficulties as others, they have a joy that others don't have. They've found peace in a chaotic, violent, and stressed world. No matter what the opposition, they seem to pull through with power. What's their secret?

D. L. Moody will show you how to find the power of the Holy Spirit. God wants you to

* Receive spiritual guidance * Obtain freedom from discouragement

* Live in the perfect peace of Christ

* Have perpetual joy

* Win others to Christ

When you have the Holy Spirit to guide you, you can live a truly effective life that will touch and inspire those around you. Some skeptics assert that there is no other vital energy in the world but physical force, while contrary to their assertions, thousands and tens of thousands who can not possibly be deceived have been quickened into spiritual life by a power neither physical or mental. Men who were dead in sins--drunkards who lost their will, blasphemers who lost their purity, libertines sunk in beastliness, infidels who published their shame to the world, have in numberless instances become the subjects of the Spirit's power, and are now walking in the true nobility of Christian manhood, separated by an infinite distance from their former life.

Let others reject, if they will, at their own peril, this imperishable truth. I believe, and am growing more into this belief, that divine, miraculous creative power resides in the Holy Ghost. Above and beyond all natural law, yet in harmony with it, creation, providence, the Divine government, and the upbuilding of the Church of God are presided over by the Spirit of God. His ministration is the ministration of life more glorious than the ministration of law, (2 Cor. iii, 6-10). And like the Eternal Son, the Eternal Spirit having life in Himself, is working out all things after the counsel of His own will, and for the everlasting glory of the Triune Godhead. The Holy Spirit has all the qualities belonging to a person; the power to understand, to will, to do, to call, to feel, to love. This can not be said of a mere influence. He possesses attributes and qualities which can only be ascribed to a person, as acts and deeds are performed by Him which can not be performed by a machine, an influence, or a result.
