From the Preface:

‘The message which this little book brings is simple but most solemn. It is to the effect that the one thing needful for the Church, and the thing which, above all others, men ought everywhere to seek for with one accord and with their whole heart, is to be filled with the Spirit of God.’

Andrew Murray exhorts his readers to humbly pursue a greater intimacy with God the Holy Spirit. It is God’s will that all His children should live entirely under the control of the Holy Spirit and that without being filled with the Spirit, it is utterly impossible for any Christian or church to live or work as God desires.

Murray believes we need to see manifest evidence of the Spirit’s presence in our churches and that it comes by faith, surrender to God and by dying to the self-life. This book is one of the most simple but profound works on this vital subject.
