I have presented the subject in various aspects to prepare the way for the conviction that this blessing is in truth the one thing needed; and to get possession of this one thing, we ought to say good-bye to everything else we hold dear. Owing to the prevailing lack of the presence and operation of the Spirit, it takes a long time before these spiritual truths concerning the need, the fullness, and the reality of the Spirit‘s power can obtain mastery over us.Experiencing the Holy Spirit, Andrew Murray, Whitaker House, 1984 page 8</blockquote>
