Some people get a wrong notion of the baptism (of the Holy Spirit). The baptism is nothing less than the third person of the blessed Trinity coming down from the glory, the executive Spirit of the triune God indwelling your body, revealing the truth to you, and causing you sometimes to say "Ah!" till your bowels yearn with compassion, as Jesus yearned, to travail as He travailed, to mourn as He mourned, to groan as He groaned. It cannot be otherwise with you. You cannot get this thing along a merely passive line. It does not come that way. But, glory be to God, it does come. O that God might bring from our hearts the cry for such A DELUGE OF THE SPIRIT that we could not get away till we were ready for Him to fulfill His purpose in us and for us.
