The Church & The Spirit

"The affection was quickly propagated throughout the room; many of the young people and children... appeared to be overcome with the sense of the greatness and glory of divine things, and with admiration, love, joy and praise, and compassion to others that looked upon themselves as in a state of nature [unsaved]; and many others at the same time were overcome with distress about their sinful and miserable state and condition; so that the whole room was full of nothing but outcries, faintings, and the like (emphasis mine)."

-Jonathan Edwards, Quoted in: Surprised By The Power Of The Spirit, Pg. 89
