God, Limited 8/7 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God, Limited 8/7 Friday Faith THIS WILL BE MY LAST POST UNTIL WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19. Have you been to Canada? Do you know when I went to Canada for the first time there was one thing that struck me peculiarly? The signs would read, "John Brown, Ltd." ... I was holding meetings in the old St. Andrews Church in Sidney. I asked them one night why they did not put their national symbol on their churches. They wondered what I meant. I said, "Every other business house is 'Ltd.' Why don't you put it over the church?" And old Scotchman said, "We don't have to . Everybody knows it." Limited? Sure it is limited. Limit God, limit ourselves, limit His grace, limit the Word. Sure, our God is a little bit of a God. Most of us could carry Him in our vest pocket and it wouldn't budge the pocket -- our God with the "Ltd." on Him. Brother, sister, that challenge comes to us today to LET GOD LOOSE. -- John G. Lake

He Alone 8/6 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: He Alone 8/6 Thursday Thoughts It is only He, it is He who rolls away the cloud. He alone is the One who lifts the fallen, cheers the faint, brings fresh oil, and changes the countenance. It is the Lord thy God. He has seen thy misery, He has known thy heart brokenness, and He has known how near you seem to be to despair... Oh, beloved, God is in the midst of us to help us into these wonderful divine places of appointment! -- Smith Wigglesworth I will not be posting from Tuesday, August 11, until Wednesday, August 19.

No Thought of Going Back 8/5 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: No Thought of Going Back 8/5 Wednesday Wisdom We commenced meeting in Oakland, California, October 28, 1889. The wet weather had set in. We pitched our tents during a rain, such as was never known in Oakland before. People looked on in wonder and amazement. From a human standpoint, everything looked dark and discouraging. Surely God's ways are not our ways. It takes a great deal of confidence, faith, and courage in God to move forward at His command not knowing one step of the way. Here we were in a strange land, with our money about gone and no means to go back East. We confessed we were pilgrims in a strange country but knew we were seeking a city out of sight. We had no thought of going back until a great work had been done for the Master. We had no fear of suffering for lack of means; we knew our God would supply all our needs (Rom. 8:28). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

This World Is Not My Home 8/4 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: This World Is Not My Home 8/4 Tuesday Truth People wonder at me traveling from one place to another, suffering all kinds of hardships, deprived of many comforts of life, exposed to wet and cold, heat and storms. I make this sacrifice for the Lord. Christ is all in all to me. This world is not my home. It has no attraction for me. I am laying up treasures in heaven. I have a mansion there that is built of pure gold, and it can never be destroyed or taken from me. Praise God for the privilege of leaving all to follow Jesus. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

The More Praying There Is ... 8/3 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The More Praying There Is ... 8/3 Monday Meditation “The more praying there is in the world, the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil everywhere…God shapes the world by prayer…The prayers of God’s saints are the capital stock in heaven by which Christ carries on His great work upon earth…Earth is changed, revolutionized; angels move on with more powerful, more rapid wing, and God’s policy is shaped as the prayers are more numerous, more efficient…When God’s house on earth is a house of prayer, then God’s house in heaven is busy and all-potent in its plans and movements; then His earthly armies are clothed with the triumphs and spoils of victory and His enemies defeated on every hand…God conditions the very life and prosperity of His cause on prayer.” -- E. M. Bounds (This was submitted by our longest-time follower, who has followed this blog since 2005).
