BRAGADAYJAH 718

Man’s Helplessness without the Holy Spirit.

Is it possible for any man to do good continually without the restraining influence of God’s Holy Spirit in his life?  The answer is clearly, No.  For here we find in the children of Israel a people, chosen and led, protected, preferred and manifested by God, yet every time they are delivered and set straight and left to follow the right way, they fall away; they go astray, to fell into desperate need again, to cry unto the Lord, to be rescued and to fall away and to do evil in the sight of the Lord again. So once again after forty years of rest from their enemies, and after being delivered by Deborah and Barak whom God sent to deliver them, they once again did evil in the sight of the Lord; and again they fell into the hands of the enemy, the Medianites seven years. And so great were the hands of the Medianites against Israel that they made themselves dens and caves and strongholds in the mountains. And when they sew their crops, the Medianites, the Amalekites and others came and encamped against Israel and destroyed their crops until there was nothing left for them to eat.  www.chaberbooks.com
