Holy Spirit: Wisdom of Man or God

"To understand God's Word, we must empty ourselves utterly of our own wisdom and rest in utter dependence upon the Spirit of God to interpret it to us."

"When we have entirely put away our own wisdom, then and only then we get the wisdom of God."

"The emptying must precede filling, the self poured out that God may be poured in."

--- R. A. Torrey, in "The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit"
