Here on the streets of New York City, you can buy a Rolex watch for fifteen
dollars. As every New Yorker knows, these watches aren’t truly Rolexes. They
are simply "knock-offs"—cheap copies of the original.

There seems to be a duplicate for just about everything today. But there is one
thing that cannot be duplicated and that is true spirituality. Nothing that is
truly spiritual can be copied. The Lord recognizes the work of his own
hands—and he won’t accept a man-made duplication of any of his divine
workings. Why? Because it’s impossible for man to duplicate what is truly
spiritual. That is the work of the Holy Spirit alone. He’s constantly at work
doing something new in his people. And there is no possible way for us to
reproduce that work.

In all my years of walking with the Lord, I’ve rarely seen an increase in my
spirituality during good times. Rather, any such increase usually took place as
I endured hard places, agonies, testings—all of which the Holy Ghost allowed.
