Dr Lloyd-Jones on the "Falling Upon" of the Holy Spirit

"If your doctrine of the Holy Spirit does not include this idea of the Holy Spirit falling upon people, it is seriously, greviously defective. This, it seems to me, has been the trouble especially during this present century ... The whole notion of the Holy Spirit falling upon people has been discountenanced and discouraged and if you read many of the books on the Holy Spirit, you will find it is not even mentioned at all, a fact which is surely one of the prime explanations of the present state of the Christian church".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Joy Unspeakable" - Hodders (1984) - (p116).
