The Church Has Been Negligent 1/5 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Church Has Been Negligent 1/5 Tuesday Truth This marks my twentieth year of posting Lep's Faith Quotes. I currently post them in six locations on the web and in an email group. I take my quotes from volumes of the complete sermons and writings of four "Pentecostal pioneers" of the early 20th Century who are seldom quoted nowadays. I read the books long ago and marked hundreds of quotes in each book which can stand alone without the context of the sermons. The Church is the ministering presence of the Son of God in the world. The Church is the generating agency of the power of God in the world. The Church has been negligent in one great trust. She has not prayed the power of God out of heaven. -- John G. Lake

Parallel With the World 1/5 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Parallel With the World 1/5 Monday Meditation I do not know what your state of grace is -- whether you are saved or not; but it is an awful thing for me to see people, who profess to be Christian, lifeless and powerless, and in a place where their lives are so parallel with the world's that it is difficult to discriminate which place they are in, whether in the flesh or in the Spirit. Many people live in the place which is described to us by Paul in Romans 7:25: ...with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Bring Our Hearts Back 1/2 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Bring Our Hearts Back 1/2 Friday Faith At the end of the first 300 years of the Christian era, there were millions of Christians. Christianity was an aggressive power. Christianity went into the heart of heathendom to undo their superstitions, to break down their psychological forces, to leave the consciousness of Jesus Christ in the heart, to heal the sick, to raise the dead. Oh, God in heaven, bring our hearts back to it. Christianity was a conquering force. -- John G. Lake

Successful Prayer Life 12/31 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Successful Prayer Life 12/31 Wednesday Wisdom I apologize for the lack of a Tuesday post due to a computer problem. My next post will be this Friday. The successful prayer life is one of self-denial. It is a recognition of His Lordship, a giving up of much that is not wrong in itself but that hinders and takes our time. -- E.W. Kenyon.

How Satan Gets An Opening 12/29 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: How Satan Gets An Opening 12/29 Monday Meditation Before Satan can bring his evil spirits, there has to be an open door... How does Satan get an opening? When the saint ceases to seek after holiness, purity, righteousness, truth; when he ceases to pray, stops reading the Word and gives way to carnal appetites. Then it is that Satan comes. -- Smith Wigglesworth

A Big Jesus 12/24 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Big Jesus 12/24 Wednesday Wisdom This will be my last post until Monday, Dec. 29. Wishing you a blessed Christmas. He is a big Jesus! If I could measure Him I would be very small. But I cannot measure Him, and I know He is very large. I am glad I cannot measure Jesus but I am glad I can touch Him all the same. --Smith Wigglesworth

What a Wonderful Jesus 12/23 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: What a Wonderful Jesus 12/23 Tuesday Truth Tomorrow's quote will be the last of the week. Have a blessed Christmas! What a wonderful Jesus we have. Something about Him kindles fire in the darkest place. Something about our Lord makes all darkness light. God's Son is for all our human nature, and when we have Him we have more than we can speak about and think about. God's Son can set the world ablaze and bring heaven right into the place where we live. -- Smith Wigglesworth
