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 The Christ Life:
". . . If we have this indwelling Christ, He will be our wisdom. He will in some way touch our very thoughts. He will give us new conceptions of truth.
"You will have His intuitions about the things you ought or ought not to do, yet all in perfect harmony with your nature, so blended with the faculties He has given you, that the thoughts and impulses will seem to be your own.
"He will be the strength of God in you. Paul says, 'I labor according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.' So it will not be your doing, but Christ enabling you, Christ giving you His power to work for others, and for the effectual building up of His kingdom.
"So that, while you are a weak woman, or an imperfectly educated man, you will be filled with the consciousness, 'I am speaking in the strength of God,' and you will know that the Word of God shall not return to Him void."
