If you have attended a Holy Spirit Rally or an Ignite & Unite Conference, I know that there is a good possibility that you may have heard one or more of the following quotations about the Person and work of the Holy Spirit. (On a totally different thought, if you haven’t been in one of these meetings, what is your excuse? Get to one!!!) Are these quotations original to me? Nope. (But I wish that they were.)
The reason for this blog post is really two-fold. First, the truths found in these ten quotations are too powerful to just go in one ear and out of the other ear. They need to be meditated upon over and over again until they become a part of you. And second, I know that you will want to know their origin so that you can pass the information on to others.

- “He’s more real to me than you are.” ~ Kathryn Kuhlman shared in Benny Hinn’s “Welcome Holy Spirit”
- “The real reason the gifts of the Spirit are missing from the church is because we have been satisfied without them.” ~ Gordon Lindsay “Commissione with Power”
- “If you want to know how the Spirit acts now, just read how He did act when He had full possession of the Church. The Book of Acts is a blueprint by which the Holy Spirit wishes to work throughout His dispensation.” ~ F.F. Bosworth “Christ the Healer”
- “A signless gospel is a spineless gospel, and spineless men preach a signless gospel.” ~ D.W. Kerr “Waters in the Desert”
- “I have found in my own life that the more that I pray and worship God in tongues, the more manifestation of other gifts of the Spirit I have. The less I talk in tongues, the less manifestations I have. Speaking with tongues is the door into the rest of the spiritual gifts.” ~ Kenneth E. Hagin “Why Tongues”
- “I’m believing that I’m going to see a Pentecost that will out-Pentecost Pentecost.” ~ Leonard Ravenhill shared in Mack Tomlinson’s “In Light of Eternity, The Life of Leonard Ravenhill”
- “In the early church, signs and wonders and miracles followed. They cast out demons, blindness and paralysis. That’s normal Christianity! We’re so sub-normal, if we ever became normal, they (the world) will think we’re abnormal.” ~ Leonard Ravenhill found on the internet
- “It is impossible to overestimate the importance of being filled with the Spirit.” ~ Smith Wigglesworth “Ever Increasing Faith”
- “If the supernatural was in evidence during the dispensation of the Father, and again in the dispensation of the Son, what reason is there to suppose that miracles were to cease during the dispensation of the Holy Ghost?” ~ George Jeffreys “The Phenomena of Pentecost”
- “We must not forget that the speaking with other tongues is not only an initial evidence of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling, it is a continual experience for the rest of his life to assist in the worship of God. It is a flowing stream that should never dry up, and that will enrich the life spiritually.” ~ Howard Carter “Questions and Answers on Spiritual Gifts”
