3/1 Tuesday truth

We must have this inward burning desire for more of God. We must not be at any stationary point. We must always have the highest power telescopes looking and hasting unto that which God has called us to that He may perfect that forever.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/28 Monday meditation

If you preach faith you must live it, and a man is not supposed to preach without (unless) he preach a living faith. And we must so impress it upon the people that they will always know God has taken us on for a special plan and that we are not ordinary men. After we are called of God and chosen for Him, we are not again to have ordinary men's plans. We ought to have ideals of God only.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/25 Friday faith

"Yea, it is the Lord Himself. He comes forth clothed upon to clothe thee in thy weakness, to strengthen thee in thy helplessness, to uphold thee in the limitation of thy knowledge, to unfold the mysteries of the Kingdom in the dire straits where two ways meet, and you know not where to go. He says, 'This is the way.' When thou are in such a straitened place that no hand but God is able to lead thee out, then He comes to thee and says, 'Be strong and fear not, for I am with thee.'"

2/24 Thursday thoughts

It is only the broken, contrite heart which has received the mark of God. It is only those in that secluded place where He speaks to thee alone, and encourages thee when thou are down and out, and when no hand is stretched out to thee, He stretches out His hand with mercy and brings thee into a place of compassion. . . God has brought you into longsuffering, with tenderness, with love.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/23 Wednesday wisdom

Oh, beloved, God is a real essence of joy to us in a time when it seems barrenness, when it seems nothing can help us but the light from heaven far above the brightness of the sun. Then that touches you, then that changes you, and you realize nothing is worthwhile but that.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/22 Tuesday truth

A man said to me last night, "Don't you think I am baptized with the Holy Ghost?" I said, "I don't know anything about you." "I am willing," he said, "for anything." Then I knew he was not baptized. I never saw a man willing for everything and anything that got anything. The man that gets anything is the man who goes after ONE THING. "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after..." (Psalm 27:4). Whatever you want, make it one thing and get it. . .

So I ask you this morning one thing, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Matthew 7:7,8).

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/21 Monday meditation

Oh brothers, oh sisters, don't tell me that we have got the fulness. Oh the fulness of the Spirit, an immeasurable measure! Oh, don't tell me there are any limitations of it. It comes in floods we cannot contain. I drink and drink and drink again, and still we yet are dry.

Oh saints of God, the more of this joy they get, the more they require, the more they desire. It is God in you that longs for all the fulness of God to come into you, praise His name. But we must be partakers of it.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/18 Friday faith

Smith Wigglesworth tells of an aunt who was on her deathbed. He was summoned to say farewell before she died.

As my hand touched her hand, the divine virtue of heaven flowed through the death form conditions, and brought her back into perfect life, perfect as ever she was, instantaneously brought back from death into life, joy, and peace. Oh brothers, there is a virtue, there is a truth, God must manifest His power till everything we touch moves at the powers of God. . .

Oh, if there is anything in the Scriptures that is moving me to understand, it is that there is a transmitting condition, there is a power that goes through the human body to another body. I see that it is in perfect conjunction with the Scriptures that we lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/17 Thursday thoughts

He wants us to go higher and higher. . .
But God has a way, it is called the way of holiness, and He can bring us into that place. He has a divine longing to bring us into that place where we hear the voice of God, we see the form of God, we understand the way of God, and we walk in communion with God. These are the places where divine virtue flows.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/16 Wednesday wisdom

For who hath known the mind of Christ, or who is able to make intercession but the mind of the Spirit of the living God. He maketh intercession. Where is He? He is in us.

Oh, this baptism of the Holy Ghost is an inward presence of the personality of God, which lifts, prays, takes hold, lives in, with a tranquility of peace and power that rests and says, "It is all right."

God answers prayer because the Holy Ghost prays, and your advocate is Jesus, and the Father the Judge of all. There He is. Is it possible for any prayer to be missed on those lines?

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/15 Tuesday truth

(continuing the thought from Monday)

We shall become flat, and anemic, and helpless without this Word, dormant and so helpless to take hold. You are not any good for anything apart from the Word. The Word is everything. The Word has to become everything. When the heavens and the earth are melted away then we shall be as bright, and brighter than the day, and going on to be consistent because of the Word of God . . .

The Word is divinely appointed for us. Think about it. . . Take it in. Think it out. Work it out. It is divine. See it, truth.

--Smith Wigglesworth

2/14 Monday meditation

God has never given me a taste or a relish for any book but the Bible. . . Oh, how much better to get the Book of books which contains nothing but God. If a book is commended because it has something about God in it, how much more shall the Word of God be the food of the soul, the strengthening of the believer, and the building up of the human order of character with God, so that all the time he is being changed by the Spirit of the Lord from one state of glory into another.
This is the ideal principle of God.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/11 Friday faith

To think that God can make a mistake is the biggest blunder that a man makes in his life. God makes no mistakes. But when we are in the will of God the plan works out admirably because it is divine, thought out by the almightiness of God.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/10 Thursday thoughts

Beloved, do not be satisfied with anything less than the knowledge of a real change in your nature, a knowledge of the indwelling presence and power of the Holy Ghost. Do not be satisfied with a life that is not wholly swallowed up in God.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/9 Wednesday wisdom

And if any man ever spoke truth He spoke the truth when He said, "It is finished."

Thank God it is finished. And I know, because it is finished, everything is mine. Thank God, everything is mine, things in heaven, things in earth, things under the earth. He is all power over all. He is in all. He is through all. Thank God He is for all.

And I say to you without contradiction, that Jesus has so much more for you than you have any conception.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/8 Tuesday truth

The most trying time is the most helpful time. Most preachers say something about Daniel, and about the Hebrew children, and especially about Moses when he was in a tried corner. Beloved, if you read the Scriptures you will never find anything about the easy time. All the glories come out of hard times.

And if you are really reconstructed it will be in a hard time, it won't be in a singing meeting, but at a time when you think all things are dried up, when you think there is no hope for you, and you have passed everything, then that is the time that God makes the man, when tried by fire, then God purges you, takes the dross away, and brings forth the pure gold. Only melted gold is minted.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/7 Monday meditation

"Declared to be the Son of God with power."

Sons must have power. We must have power with God, power with man. We must be above all the world. We must have power over Satan, power over the evils.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

2/4 Friday faith

God has no room for an ordinary man. God wants to take the ordinary man and put him through the sieve and bring him out into a place of extraordinary faith. The cry of our souls can be satisfied only with God. The great plan of God is to satisfy you, and then give you the vision of something higher.

If ever you stop at any point, pick up at the place where you failed, and begin again under the refining light, and power and zeal of heaven . . .

Remember, beloved, it is not what you are but what God wants you to be.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/3 Thursday thoughts

The Bible is the Word of God: supernatural in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in valor, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in totality. Read it through, write it down, pray it in, work it out, and then pass it on. Truly it is the Word of God. It brings into man the personality of God; it changes the man until he becomes the epistle of God. It transforms his mind, changes his character, takes him on from grace to grace, and gives him an inheritance in the Spirit. God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through, and sups with him.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

2/2 Wednesday wisdom

If I limit the Lord, He cannot work within me, but if I open myself to God then He will surely fill me and flow through me.

We must have this "Like Precious Faith" in order to have our prayers answered. If we ask anything according to God's will, we are told that He hears us, and if we know that He hears us, then we know we have the petitions that we desire. Oh, brothers, sisters, we must go into the presence of God and get from Him the answers to our prayers. Hear what Mark 11:24 says,

... What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

-- Smith Wigglesworth
