HOWELLS, INTERCESSOR </b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>-

<span style="text-decoration: none;">From the time of special
dedication on March 29, 1936, when so many of the College, both staff
and students, laid their lives on the altar as intercessors, the
summation came in the New Year of 1937. It was the “Pentecost” of
the College, from which they emerged not a loosely-linked company of
consecrated individuals, but a body in the full sense of the term, a
living integrated organism, instinct with one life and one purpose.
Dr. Kingsley C. Priddy, M.B., B.S., D.T.M. & H., a member of the
staff and now Headmaster of the School, gives the following account
of those days:</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">“In the Christmas vacation of
1936 much time was given to prayer. As we approached the New Year of
1937 there was an increasing consciousness of God's presence. The
first outward sign that He was working in a new way was when one of
the staff broke down in prayer, confessing her sense of need and
crying to the Holy Spirit to meet her. Then we heard how the Holy
Ghost had so manifested Himself in the glory of His Divine Person to
some of the girl students, that they wept before Him for hours -
broken at the corruption of their own hearts revealed in the light of
His holiness.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">“An awful sense of God's
nearness began to steal over the whole College. There was a solemn
expectancy. We were reminded of the 120 in the Upper Room before the
day of Pentecost. Like them, we only wanted to spend our time 'in
prayer and supplication' - conscious that God's hand was upon us -
conscious that He was about to do something. God was there; yet we
felt we were still waiting for Him to come. And in the day that
followed, He came.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="text-decoration: none;">“<b>He
did not come like a rushing mighty wind. But gradually the Person of
the Holy Ghost filled all our thoughts, His Presence filled all the
place, and His light seemed to penetrate all the hidden recesses of
our hearts. He was speaking through the Director in every meeting,
but it was in the quiet of our own rooms that He revealed Himself to
many of us. We felt the Holy Spirit had been a real Person to us
before; as far as we knew we had received Him; and some of us had
known much of His operations in and through our lives. But now the
revelation of His Person was so tremendous that all our previous
experiences seemed as nothing. There was no visible apparition, but
He made Himself so real to our spiritual eyes that it was a 'face to
face' experience. And when we saw Him, we knew we had never really
seen Him before. We said like Job, 'I have heard of Thee by the
hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee'; and like him we
cried, 'Wherefore I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes.'</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="text-decoration: none;">“<b>In
the light of His purity, it was not so much sin we saw as </b></span><b><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">self</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">.
We saw pride and self-motives underlying everything we had ever done.
Lust and self-pity were discovered in places where we had never
suspected them. And we had to confess we knew nothing of the Holy
Ghost as an indwelling Person. That our bodies were meant to be the
temples of the Holy Ghost we knew, but when He pressed the question,
'Who is living in </span></span><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">your</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
body?' we could not say that HE was. We would have done so once, but
now we had seen Him. In His nature He was just like Jesus - He would
never live for self, but always for others. We were people who had
left all to follow the Savior, and had forsaken all we had of this
world's goods to enter a life of faith, and as far as we knew we had
surrendered our lives entirely to the One who died for us. But He
showed us, 'There is all the difference in the world between </span></span><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">your</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
surrendered life in my hands, and I living </span></span><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">My</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
life in your body.' We read the Acts afresh, and found we were
reading, not the acts of the apostles, but the acts of the Holy
Ghost. The bodies of Peter and the others had become His temples. The
Holy Ghost as a divine Person lived in the bodies of the apostles,
even as the Savior had lived His earthly life in the body that was
born in Bethlehem. And all the Holy Spirit asked of us was our wills
and our bodies. 'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice . . .' Romans
12:1. It seemed as though we had never seen that Scripture before. He
made it clear that He was not asking for service, but for a
sacrifice. 'Our God is a consuming fire', and if God the Holy Ghost
took possession of these bodies, then His life was going to consume
all that there was of ours. We had often sung 'I want to be like
Jesus', but when we had the offer from a Person who is just like the
Savior to come and live that life daily and hourly in us, we found
how unreal we had been. How much there was in us that still wanted to
live our own lives - that shrank from this 'sentence of death'! We
now began to see the meaning of the Savior's words in Luke 9:24, 'For
whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will lose his
life for My sake, the same shall save it.'</span></span></b></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">“<span style="font-style: normal;">Why
had He manifested Himself to us in this way? He made that quite
clear. It was because there was a work to be done in the world today
that only He could do (John 16:8). No wonder the Master told His
disciples not to move from Jerusalem until they had received 'the
promise of the Father'. But when He had come, they would be His
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto
the uttermost part of the earth.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">“<span style="font-style: normal;">Many
of us on the previous March 29 had put our all on the altar for the
sake of giving the Gospel to every creature. We had become willing to
be any cog in the machinery that God needed to put that through in
our generation. But now the Holy Ghost said, as Jehovah had said to
Moses, 'I am come down to do it.' And we knew that He was as almighty
as He was holy.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="text-decoration: none;">“<b><span style="font-style: normal;">As
these days of visitation went on, we were just prostrate at His feet.
We had thought that there was some virtue in our surrender, that we,
with thousands of others, would be the people to evangelize the world
in this generation. But now HE had come, and we were out of it -
except in so far as our bodies would become the temples in which He
would dwell and through which He would work. He said, I have not come
to give you joy, or peace, or victory. I have not come to give you
any blessing at all. You will find all that you need in Jesus. But I
have come to put </span></b></span><b><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">you</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
to the cross, so that I may live in your body for the sake of a lost
world' (Col.3:3; 2 Cor. 4:10; Gal. 2:20).</span></span></b></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="text-decoration: none;">“<b><span style="font-style: normal;">He
warned us that the trials before this task was through would be so
great, and the attacks of Satan so fierce, that 'flesh and blood'
would never be able to hold out. He showed us that on the eve of the
Crucifixion, when the real clash came with the powers of darkness, it
was only the Savior who stood. We saw every one of the disciples fail
in that hour - in spite of all their surrenders, their vows and their
devotion to the Master. And looking into the future years - the
darkness of the last days of this age, the final contest between
heaven and hell for the kingdoms of this world - we could see only
One Person who was 'sufficient for these things', and He was the
glorious Third Person of the Godhead in those whom He was able to
indwell.</span></b></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">“<span style="font-style: normal;">One
by one He met us. One by one we broke in tears and contrition before
Him. From one after another rose the cry as it did from Isaiah, when
he too 'saw the Lord', 'Woe is me for I am undone . . . unclean . .
.' One by one our wills were broken; we yielded on His own
unconditional terms. To one by one there came the glorious
realization - He had entered; and the wonder of our privilege just
overwhelmed us.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="text-decoration: none;">“<b><span style="font-style: normal;">The
personal experience was great - we were new people. His word became
new. So often we had had to water down the Word to the level of our
experience. But now the Person in us would insist on bringing our
experience up to the level of His Word. We understood that
crucifixion was a slow death, and that He would have much to deal
with in us before He would really be free to do His work through us.
- But one thing we knew - He had come and He could never fail.</span></b></span></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">“<span style="font-style: normal;">But
far greater than anything His visitation could mean to us personally,
was what it was going to mean to the work. We saw Him as the One to
whom 'the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the
small dust of the balance.' On our faces before Him we could say from
awed hearts, 'Holy Ghost, You have come to rock the world.' There was
no excitement or enthusiasm of the flesh in those days. When His
power had come upon us after March 29 we had been carried away, and
were singing and shouting our praises. But in these days we were so
awed by the holy majesty of His Person that we hardly dared raise our
voices in the meetings. Even the grounds outside seemed filled with
His presence. Walking around together we would suddenly be conscious
that we were speaking in whispers. The late hours came, but no one
thought of bed - but God was there. It seemed to be a foretaste of
the Holy City - 'There shall be no night there.' 2:00 and 3:00 a.m.
often seemed just like midday as we communed together, prayed with
some who were 'coming through', or waited before God in the quietness
of our hearts.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">“<span style="font-style: normal;">His
visitation lasted for some three weeks in this special sense,
although, praise God, He came to 'abide', and has continued with us
ever since. But no one has a monopoly of the Holy Ghost. He is God,
and whatever our experience of Him, He is far greater that all we can
know of Him. Whatever we know of His gifts, His manifestations and
His anointings, He is greater than all those. In whatever way He has
manifested Himself to us, we also recognize His mighty working in and
through others. Increasingly we look to the Holy Ghost Himself,
poured out on all flesh, as Joel prophesied, as the only One by whom
the Vision He has shown us can be fulfilled, through His prepared
channels in all parts of the world.”</span></span></p>

this falling of the fire upon the sacrifice, the Spirit had sealed to
Himself a company of intercessors for every creature. Tutors and
school teachers, doctors and nurses, domestic and office workers,
gardeners and mechanics, the duties were varied, but the commission
one. Many of the students themselves remained on as part of this
praying and working company. There are times in God's dealings with
His servants when He sets apart for Himself, not just individuals,
but companies, baptized, as it were by one Spirit into one body for
one God-appointed purpose, and this was now one of them.”</span></b></span></p>
