Secret Power: The Secret of Success in Christian Life and Work

Although I know what the secret power is reading this book has stirred my heart and soul to stay determined.

Moody does a wonderful job of communicating to believers the power and f the Holy Spirit. I have been truly blessed and convicted by reading this book.

You can't receive the Holy Spirit if you are grieving it all the time. It's absolute to know what grieves the Holy Spirit.

If you are serious about your walk with the God in obedience, then this points the way.

Very simple to understand each points. Very encouraging in my personal walk with God and service for God. We have to be filled with the Spirit to live with power.

My first Moody read--love this brother's insight. Very timely material for our day, in my opinion. Just finished the first read through. Time to go at it again and mine a little deeper for gems.

Satisfied

First off I have to say – I loved this book!! This old 1880 classic by D.L.Moody is filled with wake up calls to the modern era and church as to why the power and anointing is often lacking while providing ingredients for spiritual success. Because God is not a respecter of persons it appears key issues are addressed to help remedy those that have fallen asleep spiritually. DL Moody believes we would have been spared many dark hours if we had only been willing to let the Spirit of God be our counselor and guide. Here he describes the object of this book: "… To help others to know the source of true power that both their zeal and their knowledge may be of increased service in the masters work. "Even deeply seasoned Christians will gain value in this book as the Holy Spirit's partnership and ways of being grieved are uncovered. No man can be a coworker with God, he states, without the Spirit of God imparting love. Lost hope too is a reflection that man has gotten out of communion with God.So what are the ingredients for God's service?"When a man gets so full that he can't hold anymore than he is just ready for God's service. He is not going to give this power to an inpatient man; He is not going to give it to a selfish man; He will never give it to an ambitious man who's aim is selfish, till first emptied of self; emptied of pride and of all worldly thoughts. Let it be God's glory and not our own that we seek, and when we get to that point, how speedily the Lord will bless us for good. "Regarding minister effectiveness he emphasizes some stumbling blocks and results of wrong striving.– Failure to wait on God for His power– Working without spirit unction– Physical and emotional collapse because of the toil of working without power– Vast knowledge yet void of love for othersFor all of us,he warns that he has never known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided. Further, without feeding on the word of God the soul become starved, sinks into weakness, and is easily stumbled or offended.This resource can unlock the difference between advancing in spiritual power or going nowhere fast. It is not lengthily but unwraps truths some have long discarded or failed to implement. I was challenged in my thinking and actions and feel this will help others as well. A definite five star rating.

Excellent!

A powerful insight from God. I highly recommend this book to all believers. Keep the fire burning. God bless you
