Such was the wonderful effect which followed their united fervent praises. God himself came down, and filled every chamber of the house with his presence. Now, my dear friends, we are not now to expect that God will answer our prayers, or follow our praises, with a pillar of cloud or a pillar of fire. If ye will but unite in unanimous and heartfelt praises, then am I persuaded that God will give his Holy Spirit to fill this house-to fill every heart in the spiritual temple. Do not rest in mere forgiveness-cry for the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
Forgiveness is but a means to an end.
You are justified in order that you may be sanctified. But here is the remedy. He that created man in his own image at first, must create you over again. You need an almighty indwelling Comforter. You feel that it does not sink into your heart-it does not remain with you through the week.
