In the nineteenth century, a group of pastors were organizing a citywide evangelistic campaign. As they discussed who they should invite to preach, the name of the noted evangelist D. L. Moody was brought up. Reluctant to have Moody preach, one minister protested, “Why Moody? Does he have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit?”
The question was then followed by a long silence. Finally, another pastor spoke up, saying, “Moody, Moody, Moody…does Moody have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit?”
One of the others answered, “No, but it seems that the Holy Spirit has a monopoly on Moody.”
