The Holy Spirit and Hypnotism

A CORRESPONDENT speaks of the control of the Holy Spirit as hypnotism. It is the very opposite. Hypnotism is a subverter of the will, a will weakener. Once yield to its power, and it is almost impossible to resist it thereafter. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of liberty. It will not use man unless he is willing to be used, and he is as free to refuse the second time as the first time. Of old it was said of one controlled by a hypnotic influence, “This is the great power of God.” But there is a radical difference between the two, and God has revealed it in His Word.
