Joy in Our Spirit 9/17 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Joy in Our Spirit 9/17 Thursday Thoughts One day I saw that the secret of Christianity, the secret of evangelism, was that we were to have joy in our spirits. You remember Acts 13:52, "And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit." I Peter 1:8 tells us that it is joy unspeakable and full of glory. That didn't mean much to me until the Spirit unveiled it to me. Then I saw the secret of this new thing that was to come with the New Creation. "My joy I give unto you." This is something indescribable that fills our spirits. What does joy grow out of? What is the secret? I Corinthians 1:9, "God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." Fellowship is the secret, it is the thing that gives joy. When the fellowship is broken, the joy dies. -- E. W. Kenyon

Be Ye Holy 9/16 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Be Ye Holy 9/16 Wednesday Wisdom I take the words of the epistle this morning, which says by the Holy Ghost, "Be ye holy." (I Peter 1:16). It is as easy as possible to be holy, but you can never be holy by your own efforts. When you lose your heart and Another takes your heart, and you lose your desires and He takes the desires, then you live in that sunshine of bliss which no mortal can ever touch. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Welcome to the Throne Room 9/15 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Welcome to the Throne Room 8/24 Tuesday Truth That love impels Him to call us to Prayer. That call is the proof of our ability to stand in His presence. It is the proof of His making us reighteous enough to stand in His presence without reproof or condemnation. It means that we are ever welcome to the Throne Room. How few of us have ever realized this. It is sons visiting their Father. It is children coming joyously into the presence of a Loving Parent. -- E.W. Kenyon

We Live by Faith 9/14 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: We Live by Faith 9/14 Monday Meditation The instant that you say that there are no Miracles in this dispensation, you deny that our walk is a walk by Faith, and you declare that our walk is a walk by Reason. I challenge you to find one place where God tells us as believers to walk by Reason. God is a Faith God. We are a Faith family. We are all born by Faith. We live by Faith. By Faith we live, breathe, and have our being in Christ. If there are no Miracles, then there is no reason for Faith. If there are no Miracles, God can't answer prayer, because He can't answer prayer of any character that is not a Miracle. -- E.W. Kenyon.

The Greatest Religious Need 9/11 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Greatest Religious Need 9/11 Friday Faith The greatest religious need of our day would seem to be that of true followers of the meek and lowly Jesus. Religious enthusiasm easily goes to seed. The human spirit so predominates the show-off, religious spirit. But we must stick to our text -- Christ. He alone can save. The attention of the people must be first of all, and always, held to Him. A true Pentecost will produce a mighty conviction for sin, a turning to God. -- Frank Bartleman

Let Him Do With You What Seems Good 9/10 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Let Him Do With You What Seems Good 9/10 Thursday Thoughts Therefore let Him do with you what seemeth Him good, for He has His hand upon you and He will not willingly take it off till He has performed the thing He knows you need. So if He comes with a fan, be ready for the fan. [fanning mill that separates wheat from chaff -- Lep] If He comes with chastisement, be ready for chastisement. If He comes with correction, be ready for correction. Whatever He wills to do, let Him do it and He will bring you to the land of plenty. Oh, it is worth the world to be under the power of the Holy Ghost! -- Smith Wigglesworth
