The Purpose of Salvation 1/19 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Purpose of Salvation 1/19 Monday Meditation Today's and tomorrow's quotes were suggested to me by Bob, the longest-time reader (20 years) of Lep's Faith Quotes. So many in My Church have been taught that the PURPOSE OF SALVATION is to make sure that you go to Heaven when you die. SALVATION does guarantee that you will be with Me FOREVER, whether your mortal body is ALIVE or has DIED, but that making sure you are with Me when your body dies should NOT BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF SALVATION. The PURPOSE OF SALVATION was to RESTORE YOU TO LIFE—FULLNESS OF LIFE, ABUNDANT LIVING, and THE RESTORATION OF ALL THAT WAS LOST when sin entered the world. SALVATION is SO MUCH MORE than a TICKET to HEAVEN—it is the ASSURANCE of LIFE LIVED IN UNION WITH ME—whether on earth or in Heaven. --Diana Larkin (emphasis hers)

Power of God 1/16 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Power of God 1/16 Friday Faith The Church in general is very clear in her faith on the subject of salvation through the sacrifice of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Power of God 1/15 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Power of God 1/15 Thursday Thoughts The power of God is beyond all our conception. The trouble is that we do not have the power of God in a full manifestation because of our finite thoughts, but as we go on and let God have His way, there is no limit to what our limitless God will do in response to a limitless faith. But you will never get anywhere except [unless] you are in constant pursuit of all the power of God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

When We Possess Nothing 1/14 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: When We Possess Nothing 1/14 Wednesday Wisdom One of our workers said to me at Christmas time, "Wigglesworth, I never was so near the end of my purse in my life." I replied, "Thank God, you are just at the opening of God's treasures." It is when we are at the end of our own that we can enter into the riches of God's resources. It is when we possess nothing that we can possess all things. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Having Your "I" Knocked Out 1/13 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Having Your "I" Knocked Out 1/13 Tuesday Truth Someone has said that you are no good until you have your "I" knocked out.

Defeated With Your Own Words 1/12 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTE: Defeated With Your Own Words 1/12 Monday Meditation You said that you could not, and the moment that you said it you were whipped. You said you did not have faith, and doubt arose like a giant and bound you. You are imprisoned with your own words. You talked failure and failure held you in bondage. Prov. 6:2: "Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth. Thou art taken (captive) with the words of thy mouth." Few of us realize that our words dominate us. A young man said, "I was never whipped until I confessed I was whipped." Another said, "The moment I began to make a bold, confident confession, a new courage that I had never known took possession of me." E.W. Kenyon

You Can't Be Conquered 1/9 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: You Can't Be Conquered 1/9 Friday Faith You can't be conquered. Your spirit is whispering, "Nay, in all these things I am more than a conqueror." Every disease is of the Adversary. All kinds of sin are of the Adversary. All opposition to the glad tidings is of the Adversary. God and I are victors. Greater is He that is in me than this opposition or this disease. There is no need that is greater than my Lord. There is no lack that He cannot meet. This indomitable will that God has wrought in you cannot be overwhelmed, or conquered. You remember what you are -- you are a New Creation. You are a branch of the vine. You are an heir of God. --E.W. Kenyon
