"NONE OF SELF."

Then you will find all through the Scriptures, when men were filled
with the Holy Spirit, they preached Christ and not themselves. They
preached Christ and Him crucified. It says in the first chapter of
Luke, 67th verse, speaking of Zacharias, the father of John the
Baptist:

"And his father, Zacharias, was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
prophesied, saying: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath
visited and redeemed His people, and hath raised up an horn of
salvation for us in the house of His servant David. As He spake by the
mouth of His Holy prophets, which have been since the world began."

See, he is talking about the Word. If a man is filled with the Spirit,
he will magnify the Word; he will preach the Word, and not himself; he
will give this lost world the Word of the living God. "And thou,
child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go
before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways. To give knowledge of
salvation unto His people by the remission of their sins, through the
tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath
visited us. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. And the
child grew and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the
day of his showing unto Israel." And so we find again that when
Elizabeth and Mary met, they talked of the Scriptures, and they were
both filled with the Holy Ghost, and at once began to talk of their
Lord.

We also find that Simeon, as he came into the temple and found the
young child Jesus there, at once began to quote the Scriptures, for
the Spirit was upon him. And when Peter stood up on the day of
Pentecost, and preached that wonderful sermon, it is said he was
filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to preach the Word to the
multitude, and it was the Word that cut them. It was the sword of the
Lord and Peter, the same as it was the sword of the Lord and Gideon.
And we find it says of Stephen, "They were not able to resist the
spirit and wisdom by which he spake." Why? Because he gave them the
Word of God. And we are told that the Holy Ghost came on Stephen, and
none could resist his word. And we read, too, that Paul was full of
the Holy Spirit, and that he preached Christ and Him crucified, and
that many people were added to the Church. Barnabas was full of faith
and the
