Speaker B describes swinging between feeling intensely close to Christ and feeling completely distant. His mother once told him that spiritual dryness might be when Christ is closest, requiring faith alone. He emphasizes that faith can change the world and your life.
Wow, this is something to hear. Watch this.
There are times that I feel Christ so very close that I feel like standing up and dancing a jig. There are times that I feel like shouting hallelujah. And then there are other times when Christ— I can't even touch Christ. I don't even feel him at all. And my mother is here tonight, and I remember when I was in school, I wrote to her one day many years ago. She's forgotten. And I said, Mother, you know, for the last few weeks I haven't been able to get anywhere in my prayers, and I don't feel Christ. And she said, Son, you have Accepted Christ as your Savior, and whether you have feeling or not, the moments that you don't feel anything are the moments when he may be the closest, because that's the moment that you must walk by sheer faith, and God may be testing you. How wonderful to have a faith to believe, a faith that could change the world, and certainly a faith that could change your world.
