Emptying and Cleansing the Vessel
Illustration★★★★We need to be empty of self. This involves surrendering your will and plans to God, but you can’t do it yourself. It’s like crucifixion—you cannot crucify yourself. You have to let Jesus put you to death by his word.
Arruda, Gabriel, “How to Prepare Yourself for the Latter Rain” (AudioVerse teaching 29262).
