Ephesians 5:18

“The very fact that we believe one thing and some of us another does not do away with the fact that GOD says -” Be filled with the Spirit". I believe that is the greatest need of the church of Jesus Christ today. Everywhere I go, I find God's people lack something: God's people are hungry for something. Many of us say that our Christian experience is not all that we expected. We have often recurring defeat in our lives, and as a result across the country from coast to coast there are hundreds of Christian people hungry for something we do not have. I am persuaded that our desperate need tonight is not a new organization, a new movement - or even a new method. We have enough of these. I believe the greatest need tonight is that men and women who profess the Name of Jesus Christ be filled with the Spirit! We are trying to do the work of God without supernatural power. It cannot be done! When God told us to go and preach the Gospel to “every creature: and to evangelize the world, He provided supernatural power for us. That power is given to us by the Holy Spirit. It is more powerful than atomic power.” **Billy Graham (Greater L.A. Crusade, 1949) **
