What God Used to Do 313 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: What God Used to Do 3/13 Friday Faith When people hear about what God used to do, one of the things they say is: "Oh, that was a very long while ago." ... Has God changed? Is he not an immutable God, the same yesterday, today and forever? Does not that furnish an argument to prove that what God has done at one time he can do at another? Nay, I think I may push it a little further and say what he has done once is a prophecy of what he intends to do again... Whatever God has done... is to be looked upon as a precedent... [Let us] with earnestness seek that God would restore to us the faith of the men of old, that we may richly enjoy his grace as in the days of old. -- Charles Spurgeon

Prayer Preparation 3/12 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Prayer Preparation 3/12 Thursday Thoughts A prayer life doesn't mean hours spent in actual prayer, but hours of study and meditation in the Word until the life becomes literally absorbed in the Word and the Word becomes a very part of us. One could spend hours in prayer fruitlessly if the heart is not prepared beforehand. The preparation of the heart comes from meditation in the Word, meditation on what we are in Christ, what He is to us, and what the Holy Spirit can mean to a life that becomes God-inside minded. --E.W. Kenyon

Filled With Glory 3/11 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Filled With Glory 3/11 Wednesday Wisdom Oh, this blessed Son of God wants to fill us with such glory till our whole body is aflame with the power of the Holy Ghost. I see there is a "much more." Glory to God! My daughter asked some African boys to tell us the difference between being saved and being filled with the Holy Ghost. "Ah," they said, "when we were saved it was very good, but when we received the Holy Ghost is was 'more so.'" Many of you have never received the "more so." -- Smith Wigglesworth

We Are in the ABC Class 3/10 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: We Are in the ABC Class 3/10 Tuesday Truth Supposing two men came to the altar. One is sick and lame; the other is a sinner. Suppose they knelt at the altar together. The sinners says, "I want to find the Lord." Everyone in the house will immediately lend the love of their heart and the faith of their soul to help him touch God. But the lame fellow says, "I have a lame leg." Or "My spine is injured. I want healing." Instead of everybody lending their love and faith in the same way to that man, everybody puts up a question mark. That comes because of the fact that we are instructed on the Word of God concerning the salvation of the soul, but our education concerning sickness and His desire and willingness to heal has been neglected. We have gone to the eighth grade or the tenth grade or the University on the subject of salvation, but on the subject of healing we are in the ABC class. -- John G. Lake

Belief vs. Faith 3/9 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Belief vs. Faith 3/9 Monday Meditation Many people today have an intellectual faith, a historical faith; they believe. Well, "the devils also believe, and tremble" (James 2:19). Belief is one thing; faith is another. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Prayer Is a Love Affair 3/6 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Prayer Is a Love Affair 3/6 Friday Faith The highest order of prayer is a love affair: two lover meet, sharing with each other. Not slaves and the master; neither servants or an overlord; but a Father and His children... This is not talking at Him. Much praying is merely talking at the Father. This is a meeting together. Jesus said, "There am I in the midst of them." It is a business meeting. It is a meeting in loving council. You speak telling your needs, then wait listening for Him to bring to you the Word of assurance. --E.W. Kenyon

My Life of Prayer 3/5 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: My Life of Prayer 3/5 Thursday Thoughts I remember that years ago I was praying for money to meet our rent bill. I had prayed. Then I went out on the street and I began to wonder how I could get it. Before I realized it I had destroyed my prayer. I had nullified the Word. I came to myself, asked for forgiveness, and then began to thank Him for it. I held myself steady and kept my heart singing songs of victory. That was the beginning of my life of prayer. - E. W. Kenyon.
