Our unction, therefore, is the communication of the Holy Spirit, and nothing else.
- John Owen
What is the reason the word works so differently? It is because the Spirit of God carries the word to the conscience of one and not another. One has receive the divine unction and not the other.
- Thomas Watson
When the hammer of logic and the fire of human zeal fail to open the stony heart, unction will succeed.
- Leonard Ravenhill
You can have knowledge, and you can be meticulous in your preparation; but without the unction of the Holy Spirit you will have no power, and your preaching will not be effective.
