Power of Spiritual Life
Luke 10:17-20
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through your name.…


Brainerd, in his narrative of his work among the American Indians, confesses his great embarrassment. "When I have instructed them respecting the miracles wrought by Christ, they have quickly referred to the wonders of that kind performed by their diviner;... a fatal obstruction to some of them in the way of receiving the gospel." Yet, though Brainerd could do none of these mighty works, he was the means of the conversion of that very diviner by the influence of his own life and the spiritual truths which he taught.

(J. M. Buckley.)
