On all who shall minister to them with willing hearts, the blessing of the Lord will rest.” – {Counsels on Stewardship, p. 164.1} https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p22.958&index=0 “Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Saviour mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, “Follow Me.” There is need of coming close to the people by personal effort. If less time were given to sermonizing, and more time were spent in personal ministry, greater results would be seen. The poor are to be relieved, the sick cared for, the sorrowing and the bereaved comforted, the ignorant instructed, the inexperienced counseled. We are to weep with those that weep, and rejoice with those that rejoice. Accompanied by the power of persuasion, the power of prayer, the power of the love of God, this work will not, cannot, be without fruit." – {Ministry of Healing, p. 143} https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p135.657&index=0 Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQIURzeOqLE
