Power
is lost through self-indulgence. The one who would have God’s power must lead a
life of self-denial...I do not believe that any man can lead a luxurious life,
over-indulge his natural appetites, indulge extensively in dainties, and enjoy
the fullness of God’s power. The gratification of the flesh and the fullness of
the Spirit do not go hand in hand. (Dr. R.A. Torrey)
