Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own. COL 69.1 Nothing but the baptism of the Holy Spirit can bring up the church to its right position, and prepare the people of God for the fast approaching conflict. 2MR, p. 30
AN ILLUSTRATION:TWO PIECES OF CLOTH Picture two pieces of cloth that are placed side by side parallel to each other. One cloth is white, which represents the Christian covered with the “white” righteousness of Christ though not 100 percent reflecting His character yet. The other cloth is saturated with liquid blue dye, which represents Christ. The blue dye symbolizes His character, likes, dislikes, virtues, etc. As the blue cloth comes into contact with the white cloth, the blue dye liquid begins seeping into and through the white cloth. As long as they stay in close contact, the white cloth will continue to become more and more blue. In time only blue is seen. The blue dye has completely saturated the white cloth. In illustration: White cloth did not work at becoming blue. It simply stayed in intimate contact with the blue cloth.

What we need is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Without this, we are no more fitted to go forth to the world than were the disciples after the crucifixion of their Lord. Charles G. Finney: Living in our finest hour, p. 78 Christians are as guilty for not being filled with the Spirit as sinners are for not repenting. They are even more so, as they have more light, they are so much the more guilty. E.G.W: RH, FEB 18, 1890
In some sense and to some extent the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer, but there is another gift which may be called the gift of the Holy Spirit for service. This Gift of the Holy Spirit, it strikes me, is entirely distinct and separate from conversion and assurance. DWIGHT L. MOODY

There needs to be a waking up among God's people, that His work may be carried forward with power. We need the baptism of the Holy Spirit. EV, p. 66 I entreat of the church members in every city that they lay hold upon the Lord with determined effort for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 7 MR, p. 108 The religion of Christ means more than the forgiveness of sin; it means taking away our sins, and filling the vacuum with the graces of the Holy Spirit. …It means a heart emptied of self, and blessed with the abiding presence of Christ. When Christ reigns in the soul, there is purity, freedom from sin. The glory, the fullness, the completeness of the gospel plan is fulfilled in the life. The acceptance of the Saviour brings a glow of perfect peace, perfect love, perfect assurance. COL, p. 420 E.G.W: B.H.S
For the baptism of the Spirit every worker should be pleading with God. Companies should be gathered together to ask for special help, for heavenly wisdom, that they may know how to plan and execute wisely. 8T, p. 22 We are to seek most earnestly to be of one mind, of one purpose. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, and nothing less can bring us to this place. RH, JUNE 10, 1902 When you have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, then you will understand more of the joys of salvation than you have known all your life hitherto. "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses to Me . . . unto the uttermost parts of the earth."--Letter 33, 1890, pp. 9, 10. E.G.W: B.H.S
