4/1 Friday faith

Are you dry? There is no dry place in God, but all the good things come out of hard times. The harder the place you are in, the more blessedness can come out of it as we yield to His plan. Oh, if I had only known God's plan in its fulness I might never have had a tear in my life. God is so abundant, so full of love and mercy; there is no lack to them that trust in Him. -- Smith Wigglesworth

3/31 Thursday thoughts

And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. (Mark 2:12) If anything stirs me in my life it is such words as these, "We never saw it on this fashion." Something ought to happen all the time so that people will say, "We never saw it like that." If there is anything that God is dissatisfied with, it is stationary conditions. So many people stop on the threshold, when God, in His great plan, is inviting them into His treasury. Oh, this treasury of the Most High, the unsearchable riches of Christ, this divine position which God wants to move us into so that we are altogether a new creation. -- Smith Wigglesworth

3/30 Wednesday wisdom

We see Him as the incarnation, as the Holy One of God, as the Son of God, as the only Begotten of the Father full of grace and truth. We see Him as the burden bearer, as our sanctifier, as our cleanser, as our baptizer. Know no man after the flesh but see Him! And as we behold Him in all His glory we shall rise, we cannot help but rise in the power of God. --Smith Wigglesworth

3/29 Tuesday truth

Set thy house in order. See to it that thou dost not allow anything that could be there that He could see that He could be displeased with. Thy house is thy body, thy body is the temple of the Spirit. --tongues and interpretation following the Smith Wigglesworth sermon passage that was quoted yesterday (about throwing things out the window if Jesus came to your house)

3/28 Monday meditation

We are back from our trip to Arizona. To see our picture albums, go to http://www.lepardphotos.blogspot.com/. You say, "There are so many things in my house that would have to be thrown out the window if Jesus came to my home." Would to God we could understand it for He is in the house all the time. All the things ought to go out the window that couldn't stand His eyes on them. Every impression of our heart that brought trouble when He looked at us ought to go forever. -- Smith Wigglesworth

3/21 Monday meditation

One thing God wants to fix in our hearts is to be like Him. Be like Him in character. Don't be troubled so much about your faces but be more concerned about your hearts. All the powder won't change the heart. All the adorning of silks and satins won't make purity. Beloved, if I was going down a road and I saw a fox tail sticking out of a hole I shouldn't ask anybody what there was inside. And if there is anything hanging outside, you know what there is inside. Righteousness in the inward parts. Pure through and through.

I will be on vacation through Friday, March 24. This will be the last Faith Quote for the week.

3/18 Friday faith

We must know that the baptism of the Spirit immerses us into an intensity of zeal, into a likeness to Jesus, to make us into pure, running metal so hot for God that it travels like oil from vessel to vessel.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

I WILL PROBABLY POST MONDAY'S MEDITATION ON SUNDAY. I WILL BE ON VACATION THE REST OF THE WEEK.

3/17 Thursday thoughts

The people who are spiritual can only be fed on spiritual material. So if you are expecting your messages to catch fire you will have to have them on fire. . . You will have to bring the message red-hot, burning, living. The message must be direct from heaven. It must be as truly, "Thus saith the Lord," as the Scriptures which are, "Thus saith the Lord," because you will only speak as the Spirit gives utterance, and you will always be given fresh revelation. You will never be stale on any line, whatever you say will be fruitful, elevating the mind, lifting the people, and all the people will want more.

To come into this we must see that we not only need the baptism of the Spirit but we need to come to a place where there is only the baptism of the Spirit left.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/16 Wednesday wisdom

(continued from Monday and Tuesday)

We have no confidence in the flesh. Our confidence can only be stayed and relied in the One who never fails, in the One who knows the end from the beginning, in the One who is able to come in at the midnight hour as easy as in the noonday, and make the night and the day alike to the man who rests completely in the will of God, knowing that "all thing work together for good to them that love Him," and trust in Him. And such trust have we in Him.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/15 Tuesday truth

(continued from Monday)

In Thy name we go. In Thee we trust. And God brings us off in victory. when we have no confidence in ourselves to trust in ourselves but when our whole trust rests upon the authority of the mighty God, He has promised to be with us at all times, and to make the path straight, and to make all the mountains a way. Then we understand how it is that David could say, "Thy gentleness hath made me great." (to be continued)

--Smith Wigglesworth

314 Monday meditation

We want to get to a place where we are beyond trusting in ourselves. Beloved, there is so much failure in self-assurances. It is not bad to have good things on the lines of satisfaction, but we must never have anything on the human that we rest upon. There is only one sure place to rest upon, and our trust is in God.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/11 Friday faith

If you have the Spirit's power upon you, go into that room or somewhere else and never cease till God finishes the work. Outside the ... church where there isn't a revival spirit, and where people are not born again, you will find the church becomes dead, dry, and barren, and helpless. They enter into entertainments and all kinds of teas. They live on a natural association and lose their grand, glorious hope.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/10 Thursday thoughts

But oh, the baptism in the Holy Ghost! The baptism of fire! The baptism of power! The baptism of oneness! The baptism of association! The baptism of communion! The baptism of the Spirit of life which takes the man, shakes him through, builds him up, and make him know he is a new creature in the Spirit, worshipping God in the Spirit.

If my preaching and the preaching of those who come on this platform emphasizes the facts of being baptized with the Holy Ghost, and you have only touches of it, if you stop at that, you will be almost as though you were missing the calling.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/9 Wednesday wisdom

I know that salvation, while it is a perfect work, is an insulation which may have any amount of volts behind it. In the time when they laid bare wires, when they were getting electric power from Niagara, they tell me there was a city whose lights suddenly went out. Following the wire they came to a place where a cat had gotten on the wires, and the lights were stopped. I find that the dynamo of heaven can be stopped with a less thing than a cat. An impure thought across the mind stops the circulation. An act stops the growth of the believer.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/8 Tuesday truth

When the Spirit comes in the body, how many are there in the body? You have Jesus already. When you are baptized you have the Holy Ghost. And now God is in you all. Hallelujah! Talk about Samson carrying the gates, if you know your position you will take both the city and the gates. Go in and possess every part of the land, for surely there is a land of gladness, a land of pleasure, a land of peace.

-- Smith Wiggleworth

3/7 Monday meditation

The Church will rise to the highest position when there is no schism in the Body of the lines of unbelief. When we all, with one heart, and one faith, believe the Word as it is spoken, the signs, and wonders, and divers miracles will be manifested everywhere. One accord. "One Lord, one faith, one baptism." Hallelujah!

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/4 Friday faith

Without (Unless) the . . . church is having an increase on the lines of salvation, without (unless) it is having continuous baptisms in the Holy Ghost, and a continuous pressure into the Kingdom, that church will become dry, lukewarm, helpless, and you will wonder what church it is.

But every night if somebody rises up in testimony saying they received the Holy Ghost, and others say, "Oh, last night I was saved," that church is ripening. She will not flounder. She is ripening for greater things, for God will take that church.

Beloved, you are responsible for this, the platform (i.e., the pastor) is not responsible.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/3 Thursday thoughts

He is a big Jesus! If I could measure Him I would be very small. But I cannot measure Him, and I know He is very large. I am glad I cannot measure Jesus but I am glad I can touch Him all the same.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

3/2 Wednesday wisdom

If you want to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the grace of God, get hungry enough to be fed, be thirsty enough to cry, be broken enough you cannot have anything in the world without (unless) He comes Himself. . .

Let Him wipe away all tears. Let Him comfort thy heart. Let Him strengthen thy weakness. Let him cause thee to come into the place of profit. Let Him help thee into the place God has chosen for thee.

-- Smith Wigglesworth
