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

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.
