Holy Spirit = Power and Purity

"Many want the Spirit's power but not the Spirit’s purity. The Holy Spirit does not rent out His attributes. His power is never separated from His glorious Self." ~ James A. Stewart

Wow...that quote nails it!!! Just like the disciples who wanted to be the greatest in the kingdom and have positions of high honor...and then they all ran away when they saw the cost...crucifiction of self. Dying to self, allowing the Holy Spirit to purify us, is the only way the Power of Jesus is at work in our lives. Very good quote to think on!

Dying to self is something it seems we have to do daily sometimes more frequently...
