Working Without the Holy Spirit

It has been repeated in some circles that a Korean pastor once visited the United States and remarked at the end of his stay, "It's amazing what you people can do without the Holy Spirit."

I like to think that I can do a lot as well...but without the Holy Spirit it's all in vain.

How can I be open to the Spirit's movement in my life?  How can I receive and be blessed by its power?  How can I move from relying upon myself?

I don't want to work without the Holy Spirit.

Come, Holy Spirit.

I need you.
