There are any number of people who never read the Word of God who could not be led away by the powers of Satan. The Holy Spirit is not a manifestation of carnality. When our temples are purified and our minds are put in order so that carnalities and fleshly desires and everything contrary to the Spirit have gone, then the Holy Spirit can take full charge.

He was anointed according to James 5:14, but, because he had no immediate manifestation of healing, he wept bitterly. He had read a little tract about healing and had heard about people praying for the sick, and sent for these friends, who, he thought, could pray the prayer of faith.
