Why do so many young Christians fall away?“Many new converts remain weak, many falling into sin and many backslide entirely. Many stand alone, surrounded by temptation. Many have no teaching on the Spirit in them and the power of God to establish them.They do not know the promise of the Scripture: “It is God who gives us, along you, the ability to stand firm in Christ…He has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts…” (2 Cor. 1:21-22). Pray for the power of the Holy Spirit in the Church and that every young Christian may know the fullness of the Spirit.”Andrew MurrayAs an addendum: We teach little today on the fullness of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, and speaking in tongues. Let’s be frank; the world mocks these things, and we Christians have a distaste for being made fun of by the world. I know no greater need in the Church today (next to a baptism of Christ’s love) than the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit. The first work of the Spirit in the world is the conviction of sin. God is Spirit, and we cannot take hold of Him except by the Spirit. There are sufficient ministers and ministries in the Church today, that if they were covered with the power of the Holy Spirit, there would be a mighty move of God such as the world has never seen. When you remove the Holy Spirit from the spiritual life you are left with religion: a bland, pitiful, powerless dummy of the real.
