Norman Grubb emphasizes the importance of recognizing the indwelling
Spirit of God within us, likening it to a permanent well of water and
nourishment that sustains our souls. He highlights the need to
spiritually feed on Jesus, the Bread of Life, through faith and
recognition, ensuring a continuous freshness and vitality in our
spiritual lives. Grubb rejects the notion of feeling spiritually dry or
hungry when God resides within us, except in cases of unconfessed sin
that need to be addressed.

I never let the devil tell me I am dry. How can I be dry in soul when I
keep a permanent well of water inside--the Spirit springing up unto
everlasting life? I never let the devil tell me I'm hungry and need
spiritual nourishment. I have permanent loaves and permanent water
inside me --the Bread of Life and the Water of Life. Jesus! And all that
I have to do is to eat and drink spiritually. You eat and drink
spiritually by recognition. That's all. The recognition of faith is the
eating and drinking spiritually. I just recognize Jesus and there I am,
of course, fresh in a second! I will talk about that a little later on,
but I never allow these things. It is an insult to God when He is living
in me that I could moan and groan that I am cold, dry . . . .

Not for a second, unless there is sin! If there is sin we'll have to
deal with that.
