Bear in mind that we must not expect consciousness of power. It is on this point that so many stumble. They want to feel power, and failing to do so they conclude that they are in the wrong condition of soul for its exercise. No mistake could be greater. On the other hand, the Lord has to break down His servants... in order to reduce them to the sense of their own utter impotence, that they may learn the lesson that His strength is made perfect in weakness.
