The New River 8/1 Wednesday Wisdom

He has no less plan for you than to make you a son of God with power according to the resurrection. I tell you that the incarnation of God by the Spirit is to unveil the glory; let in a cloudburst and make inroads into you till there are new rivers. Oh, for your old rivers to be dried up and the new river by the cloudburst of heaven to make a new plan for you for all time for He is able to do these things in the Spirit.

Make the Water Boil 7/31 Tuesday Truth

If you have to be the oracles [spokesmen] of God -- the apostles of Christ; and as those quickened from the dead, enlarged by the Spirit; intensified with the zeal of the Almighty and made a river, you will have to be on fire, for nothing but fire will make the water boil.

The Rivers Flow 7/30 Monday Meditation

Not a model of good sentence structure, but pretty deep for a man who started working when he was 7 and whose wife taught him to read.



You will never get to know God better by testimony -- testimony should always come through the Word. You will not get to know God better by prayer -- prayer has to come out of the Word. The Word is the only thing that reveals God and is going to be helpful in the world through you in that when the breath and the presence of God come -- the executive of God the Father and the Son -- the Holy Ghost speaks expressively [through the Word] according to the mind of the Father and the Son and so when you are filled with the Holy Ghost, then the breath -- the power -- the unction; the fire takes hold of the Word of life which is Christ, and out of you flow the rivers, and God wants to fill us with that divine power, that out of us shall flow rivers.

In or Not? 7/29 Friday Faith

Paul goes so far as to say that some people have very strange ideas of who will be ready for the coming of the Kingdom. All in Christ will be ready, and you have got to decide whether you are in that or not. The Scripture says in the first verse of Romans eighth chapter:


There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

If you are there -- Praise the Lord! That is a good position. I pray the Lord that He will bring us all into that place -- what a wonder it will be.

Big or Little? 7/26 Thursday Thoughts

If you have a great God, you will have a little devil; if you have a big devil, you will have a little God, so may the Lord let us see that we must be so full of the order of the Spirit of life that we are always overcoming him which had the power of death -- even the devil.

Power of God 7/25 Wednesday Wisdom

I hope nobody looks to Wigglesworth as a model of good grammar and sentence structure. Just try to grasp the idea.


We ought to be so full of the manifestation of the power of God that in the Name of Jesus we can absolutely destroy the power of Satan. We are in the world -- not of it. He overcame it and to subdue it unto God we are in the world -- overcomers. We are nothing but in Christ we are more than conquerors through the blood -- more than a match for satanic powers on every line and may the Lord so let us see that we must be loosed from ourselves, for if you examine yourself you will be natural; but if you look at God, you will be supernatural.

Former and Latter Rain 7/24 Tuesday Truth

There is a dry condition existing everywhere today. I find it all over. People are longing for a fulness. There never was such a cry, and beloved, it is because the Scriptures are being fulfilled. The former rain fell in a very blessed way, clothing the apostles with power, and the Acts of the Apostles came forth because they dared to act. We see the deliverance of the captive; the mightiness flowing through like a river till thousands and tens of thousands were saved by the power of the former rain which was by the Spirit; but in these last days God will pour out upon all flesh the Latter Rain, and I believe all flesh will feel the effects of it. It will not be possible for anyone to miss it. they may refuse it; but it will be there for the taking, and I believe God would have us to see that the Later Rain has begun to fall.

A God of Immensity 7/23 Monday Meditation

I tell you when we get to see that God Almighty would always bring in [rein in] the weaknesses with His power; when we see that when He has a plan for us, and when I know that God can take my weakness and make it power; when He can take our weakness and depravity and make us holy, then I know I have a God of immensity.

No Room for Weakness 7/20 Friday Faith

God has for us wonderful things. Many days in the past have been wonderful, but no day is like the present. The Holy Ghost lifting us into His presence, the power flowing, our whole being flaming with the glory of God. Here is God's divine plan for humanity when the Holy Ghost has come. Today we are nearer the goal, the vision is clearer, the Holy Ghost bringing us into the treasure of the Most High. . . There is no room for weakness if we see this mighty incoming life through the Spirit.

What Possibilities There Are 7/19 Thursday Thoughts

Ah, what things God does for us when we only believe. He is so rich to all that call upon Him. What possibilities there are in this meeting if we would only believe in the divine presence, for God is here. The power of the Spirit is here. How many of you dare rise and claim your healing? Who will dare rise and claim your rights of perfect health? All things are possible to him that believeth. Jesus is the living substance of faith. You can be perfectly adjusted by the blood of Jesus. We must believe in the revelation of the Spirit's power and see our blessed position in the risen Christ.

He Is Right Here 7/18 Wednesday Wisdom

"And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. And Jesus went with him..." (Mark 5:23,24). I want you to know that this same Jesus is in the midst of His people today. He is right here with His ministry of power and blessing.

Knock Out Your "I" 7/17 Tuesday Truth

The greatest opportunity God has afforded to man -- submit to Almighty God . . . Your "I" must be knocked out and your personality be fully surrendered to God. God moves me to see that there is no good thing in me. No! You can polish up the old man -- but he is still the old creation and worthless. Rise to the higher order of revelation with God. Jesus is the greatest of all -- fulfilling, revealing, divine activity.

Covered by His Strength 7/16 Monday Meditation

We never know how weak we are until we are covered by His mighty strength -- not to fail -- but to stand for God and having done all to stand, Jesus will carry us through.

The Latter Rain 7/13 Friday Faith

It is a poor people who cannot praise the Lord. Suppression of praise never disturbs the devil. God wants firebrands -- lives aflame by the power of God. God has made me so hungry. I never was so hungry and thirsty after God. We are at a place not it will be, but it must be. If we will pay the price -- God will open the heavens . . . that God may bring us a deluge of the latter rain.

No Dreary Days 7/12 Thursday Thoughts

When we get into the Spirit, time has gone. In the Spirit and the glory a thousand years are as one day. If I live in the Spirit, I have no dreary days. Some days the sun shines more, but it makes no difference.

Union With God 7/10 Wednesday Wisdom

Are you in? Oh, be In! In Christ in God. Ready for action, moved by the breath of the Spirit -- to pray through, to preach through, manifesting the glory of the Lord, having a double portion of the Spirit, bathed in ecstasy, delight, and joy. . .


To have union with God is worth all. To have direct communion with God -- no power interfering. Transmitting power, an ascent and descent of communication, charged by the diving operation of the Spirit . . . Thou only has the Word of eternal life.

A Wonderful God 7/10 Tuesday Truth

Never Mind the Past 7/9 Monday Meditation

I say never mind the past. You may have a thousand things that spoil you -- forget them. Count that God has overcome for you in order that you shall overcome and present you faultless . . . "I have failed a thousand times," you say. Never mind, brother. Is your heart warmed? Do you love to be beaten, or do you love to come into line with Him? . . . You may be sorry for the past, but let God have you for the future. . . You say, "Lord, forgive everything of the past but help me, Lord, today to offer an offering in righteousness before Thee, today I give myself afresh.


-- Smith Wigglesworth

One time I thought I had the Holy Ghost. Now I know the Holy Ghost has got me. There is a difference between our hanging on to God and God lifting us up. There is a difference between my having desire and God's desire filling my soul. There is a difference between natural compassion and the compassion of Jesus that never fails. Human faith fails but the faith of Jesus never fails.

Our Wealth in Christ 7/4 Wednesday Wisdom

And so the Lord has a great plan for us today to see, or rather bring us to, our wealth in Christ; our wealth, how rich, beyond all comparison. Deep calleth unto deep. The Lord hath prepared for us not only a sonship, but an heirship, not only an heirship, but a joint-heirship, not only feeling the breath of God, but the breath of God moving us, not only touching fire, but fire burning everything that cannot stand fire, and so in this holy sea of life, this divine inheritance for us I see the truth so full of joy unspeakable today, and I see it and I read it to you. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Oh, hallelujah! -- Smith Wigglesworth

Greater Than the Adversary 7/3 Tuesday Truth

No man, whoever he is, will ever make progress without [unless] he learns that he is greater than the adversary. If you don't learn, if you don't understand, if you don't come into line today with the thought that you are greater than the adversary, you will find out that you have a struggle in your life. . . I want to be so simple that everyone . . . shall so know that . . . they have the power of God with them to overcome him through the blood of the Lamb.

Overcomers 7/2 Monday Meditation

Returning to Smith Wigglesworth quotes once again. (I'm only up to page 518 out of 856.) To review: Wigglesworth was one of the greatest healing evangelists of all time. He was a plumber whose wife taught him to read, and he never read anything but the Bible. He wouldn't allow anyone to carry a newspaper into his house because of its negativity. Perhaps he was wiser than we are!!!


These are days when Satan is very great, oh yes, he is tremendously busy seeking whom he may devour, but I am finding out this: that God has blessed me and has blessed us that we will be in a place where we are more than overcomers. It is to have a shout at the end of the fight -- to not only overcome, but to be able to stand when we have overcome, not fallen down.
