1) The Emptying Phase (Emptying of self)
2) The Filling Phase (Filling with the Spirit & will of God)
"In order to confess Christ we must have Him to confess. No one can truly confess Christ unless the mind and spirit of Christ are in him. If a form of godliness, or an acknowledgement of the truth, were always a confession of Christ, we might say; Broad is the way that leadeth unto life, and many there be that find it. We must understand what it is to confess Christ yet in our works deny Him. The fruits of the Spirit manifested in the life of Christ, our lives will be humble, our conversation heavenly, our conduct blameless." Testimonies for the Church vol. 1, p.303 E.G.W.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: 1 Corinthians 15:10
