A Sea of Pure Divine Love 5/20 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Sea of Pure Divine Love 5/20 Wednesday Wisdom Divine love was wonderfully manifest in the meetings [Azusa Street Revival]. The people would not even allow an unkind word said against their opposers or the churches. The message was the love of God. It was a sort of "first love" (Revelation 2:4) of the early church returned. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, as we received it in the beginning, did not allow us to think, speak, or hear evil of any man. The Spirit was very sensitive, tender as a dove... We knew the moment we had grieved the Spirit by an unkind thought or word. We seemed to live in a sea of pure divine love. -- Frank Bartleman

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Battle With Our Senses 5/15 Friday Faith So Paul continues, in Galatians 5:19, "Now the works of the senses are manifest" ...

My mind must be so renewed by knowing the Word and acting on the Word that I can easily conquer my senses. --E.W. Kenyon

Will You Turn Away? 5/12 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Will You Turn Away? 5/12 Tuesday Truth God knows when people grumble. Many thousands of those people who were saved and had had all those blessings turned away and never followed the Son of God anymore. Jesus looked at the few who were left, and His heart must have been broken for those who were so blind. He asked His disciples, "Will you also go away?" He is saying the same thing to us. So many Christians have backslidden and are going off into delusions. It is the sifting time as never before. God is looking at us, especially those who are baptized in the Spirit. He asks, "Will you also forsake Me? Will you also turn back, or will you go forward all the way?" Peter's answer was, "To whom shall we go?" (John 6:68). We cannot find a better way... "Thou hast the words of eternal life" (v. 68). We don't guess -- 'we believe and are sure that thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God' (v. 69)." -- Maria Woodworth-Etter
