A. W. Tozer, We Need Him More and More But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and
bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14, 26 I
have reason to suspect that many people are trying to give leadership in
Christian churches today without ever having yielded to the wise and
effective leading of the Holy Spirit. He truly is the spirit of wisdom,
understanding, and counsel.

He alone can bring the gracious presence of the living God into our
lives and ministries. You may think it out of place for me to say so,
but in our churches today we are leaning too heavily upon human talents
and educated abilities. We forget that the illumination of the Holy
Spirit of God is a necessity, not only in our ministerial preparation,
but in the administrative and leadership functions of our churches.

We need an endowment of the Spirit of God. We sorely need more of His
wisdom, His counsel, His power, His knowledge. We need to reverence and
fear the Almighty God.

If we knew the full provision and the spiritual anointing that Jesus
promised through the Holy Spirit, we would be far less dependent on so
many other things. I have said it before and I say it now. We need the
Holy Spirit more and more, and we need human helps less and less.

Jesus is victor. Lord, we're drowning in human helps, modern methods,
business principles, and growth strategies. But in all too many cases I
fear that we are indeed lacking the endowment of the Spirit of God.

Send us to our knees, Lord, that we might be reminded that we need Him
more and more. Amen.
