Summary

The message emphasizes that true Christian life requires more than just going through the motions of routine religious observance; it demands a deep passion for God. The speaker uses the life of Charles G. Trumbull to illustrate that the only life that truly wins is the life of Jesus Christ dwelling within the believer. This requires a complete surrender, where the fire of God burns up the entire life, not just providing occasional help or victory in specific sins.

Ordinary people used by GodBelievers do not need to go to far-off countries to be used by God; ordinary lives can experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

The early life and witness of Charles TrumbullCharles Trumbull was known for standing for the truth and steadfastness, and later became the editor of the Christian magazine The Sunday School Times.

The common pattern of failure and needLike many believers, Trumbull's deeper spiritual breakthrough began with experiencing personal failure, recognizing his deep need, and realizing Christ must live within.

Trumbull's three great areas of needTrumbull honestly acknowledged three major lacks in his Christian life: spiritual ups and downs, defeat by besetting sins, and a lack of dynamic spiritual power to influence others.

Growing spiritual hunger and a new messageTrumbull's hunger deepened when he heard messages on spiritual perfection in Christ and realized his own conservative religious position lacked true spiritual power.Ephesians 4:12–13

The turning point at the conferenceAt a missionary conference, Trumbull heard about the continuous flow of living water and sought God earnestly in his room for the secret of a victorious life.John 7:37–39

Christ in you as a literal factTrumbull realized that New Testament phrases about Christ living in the believer are literal, blessed facts rather than mere figures of speech.

No longer asking for help from a distanceInstead of asking Jesus for help from a distance, Trumbull experienced Christ working directly within, through, and out of his life.

Two simple conditions for the flow of lifeThe flow of Christ's life depends on absolute, unconditional surrender to the Savior and a quiet act of faith without demanding immediate feelings or evidence.

Miraculous transformation in three areasTrumbull's fellowship with God, victory over besetting sins, and fruitful service to others were radically and miraculously transformed.

Impact on friends and being an instrument of GodTrumbull's revolutionized life deeply impacted close friends, illustrating how God uses a fully surrendered believer as a finger to write His love on others.
