Lots of good things can be accomplished, and have been accomplished, without the Spirit of God. But the things that are eternal, the things that dramatically turn the world upside-down in an instant, the things that convict us of Truth – only by the power of the Holy Spirit do we see the supernatural in-breaking of God's reality into everyday life. And we increase God's Spirit in our lives not by secret charismatic formulas, but by humbly travailing with God in a yearning lifestyle of prayer.
