4. EGW: ONE THING CERTAIN “There is one thing certain: the outpouring of the Holy Spirit will not come without earnest, heart-felt intercession. We should pray as earnestly for the descent of the Holy Spirit as the disciples prayers on the day of Penteconst,” Rev. & Herald, Aug. 25, 1896.
5. ELLEN G. WHITE SAID: “This is the begining of right foundation of the Christian Character; for out of the heart are the issues of life. We do WHAT we do from what is in the heart. If a man sees to it that his heart is right with God, one should see much larger results from what we do. The more important responsibile we take our salvation, the greater the necessity that we have clean hearts. The needed grace is provided, and the power to do so is available—the Holy Spirit.” Review & Herald, Aug. 25 1896.
6. FOUR WAYS TO HAV A CLEAN HOME FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT FIRST: “Seek Him earnestly and perseveringly in prayer in the morning and there will be growth. Dissension will cease, bel;ievers, families would be of one heart and one mind; and purity and love would prevail in the churc and homes.”
7. SECOND: “Contemplate the character of Christ first thing in the morning before leaving your home. Read any of the following passages: Psalm 22; Isaiah 53;1-12; Mark 15; Matthew 27; Luke 23; John 19, and there more you do this on daily basis, there more we become conformed to His image.”
8. THIRD: “Repentance and confession, as well as forgiveness bring the gift of God through Christ. Once convinced of our sins by the Holy Spirit through our conscience, we should feel our need of pardon. Only contrite hearts are forgivevn. There is no forgiveness for a penitent sinner who insists on doing what God hates. God will hear our prayers of faith, but there must be sincerity of prayer that can be proven only by our efforts to bring ourselves into harmony with the great moral standard which will test every man’s heart—holiness. No forgiveness, no Holy Spirit.”
9. FOURTH: “We need to open our hearts and do deep heart searching, to the influence of the Holy Spirit, and to expereinece its transforming power. The reasons why many of us have not received more power to help us overcome SIN is because our channels of communication between Heaven and our own souls is clogged by worldliness, love of display, and desire for supremacy. Psalm 66:18. One iota of self, hatred, and jealousy in our heart will block your request.”
10. CAUTION BY E. G. WHITE “Many who are without spiritual life have their names on the church records, but they are NOT written in the Lamb’s book of life. They may be joined to the church, but they are not united to the Lord. They may be DELIGENT in the performance of a certain set of duties in the church and may be regarded as living men; but are many among of those who have a name that they live and are DEAD.” SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 4, p. 1165-1166.
11. QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: What is controlling your life now? Is it money, a man or woman, worldliness? Who is in you? Is it Satan or the Holy Spirit? Who is in charge of you? To which power do you belong?
