A. B. Simpson was an author, hymn writer, conference speaker, evangelist to the urban masses of New York City, and a missionary statesman. He founded The Christian and Missionary Alliance and Nyack College.
The following is from his book Wholly Sanctified:
"The sanctified spirit is a spirit filled with the presence and the Spirit of the Lord. What it gives to Him is only a possibility. It is His presence that makes it a reality.
"Even when dedicated it is but a vessel, empty and meet for the Master's use. It is He who fills it and pours it out for the supply of the needs of others or to satisfy the desire of His own heart.
"Even the consecration which we make to God, the very act of dedication itself, has to be made perfect by His grace. We cannot even yield ourselves to Him in a manner that is without imperfection, but we can choose to be His, and then He will come into our dedicated will and make the living sacrifice worthy of His holy altar."
