"He giveth power to the faint," says the Second Isaiah, "and to them that hath no might he increaseth strength ...

they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."[16] "I live--yet not I," "I can do all things," says St.
Paul, seeking to express his dependence on this Divine strength invading and controlling him: and assures his neophytes that they too have received "the Spirit of power." "My life," says St.Augustine, "shall be a real life, being wholly full of Thee."[17] "Having found God," says a modern Indian saint, "the current of my life flowed on swiftly, I gained fresh strength."[18] All other men and women of the Spirit speak in the same sense, when they try to describe the source of their activity and endurance.
So, the rich experiences of the religious consciousness seem to be resumed in these three outstanding types of spiritual awareness.

The cosmic, ontological, or transcendent; finding God as the infinite Reality outside and beyond us.

The personal, finding Him as the living and responsive object of our love, in immediate touch with us.

The dynamic, finding Him as the power that dwells within or energizes us.
These are not exclusive but complementary apprehensions, giving objectives to intellect feeling and will.
