Reformation Day & All Saints' Day 11/1 Friday Faith

HAPPY REFORMATION DAY!!!

In America people will be celebrating Halloween. But this is a bigger day for Christians. This is the day that Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the Chapel Doors of Wittenburg, Germany. The Reformation began today. What a day to celebrate. The devil lost his hold on Christianity and a new freedom started that we still enjoy to this day. Thanks, God, for Luther's courage.

All Saints' Day, feast of the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and day on which churches glorify God for all God's saints, known and unknown. It is celebrated on Nov. 1 in the West, since Pope Gregory IV ordered its church-wide observance in 837. Its origin lies earlier in the common commemorations of martyrs who died in groups or whose names were unknown, which were held on various days in different parts of the Church; over time these celebrations came to include not only the martyrs but all saints. During the Reformation the Protestant churches understood "saints" in its New Testament usage as including all believers and reinterpreted the feast of All Saints as a celebration of the unity of the entire Church. In medieval England the festival was known as All Hallows, hence the name Halloween [=All Hallows' eve] for the preceding evening. (www.answers.com)

Unbelief? 10/28 Monday Meditation

Higher Ground 10/22 Tuesday Truth

You must every day make higher ground. You must deny yourself to get on with God. You must refuse everything that is not pure and holy and separate. God wants you pure in heart. He wants your intense desire after holiness.



-- Smith Wigglesworth

When We Have Nothing 10/21 Monday Meditation

When we have nothing, we possess all things. It is absolutely at the end of us that God begins. When you come to a place where He alone girds you with strength, then all the promises are yours.

Benediction 10/18 Friday Faith

This is the final paragraph of an article by Smith Wigglesworth entitled "God's Treasure House," published in The Bridal Call Foursquare, August 1927. It's a good thought to take us into the weekend.



May the divine likeness of Him who is the express image of the Father dwell in you richly, abounding through all, supplying every need, bringing you into a place where you know the hand of God is leading you from treasure to treasure, from grace to grace, from victory to victory, from glory unto glory, by the Spirit of the Lord.

Baptized in the Holy Spirit 10/17 Thursday Thoughts

Baptizing in water is an emblem of death, and the moment a person is immersed in the water, he is lifted out. But no so with the baptism with the Holy Spirit. To be baptized in the Holy Ghost is every day to be deeper in, never lifted out, never coming out; in captivity, ready for gifts.

Are You Ready? 10/16 Wednesday Wisdom

It is only He, it is He who rolls away the clouds. 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!



Are you ready? You say, "What for?" To let all differences cease and to have the same evidence they had in the Upper Room.



Are you ready? "What for?" To so be in the place for God's Son to be pleased that He gives you all the desire of your heart.



Are you ready? "What for?" That God can fill you with new life, stimulate you with new fire. He can inflame you with great desire. We are in the midst of blessing; I want you to be blessed.



-- Smith Wigglesworth

"But" 10/15 Tuesday Truth

Lots of people have good things -- but. Lots of people might be very remarkably used -- but. Lots of people might soar into wonderful places of divine positions with God -- but. And it is the "but" that spoils it... So it is the "but" in the way that is spoiling the best... The "but" is that you have not really got your own human spirit under control by the divine Spirit, the human is mingled and it is spoiling the divine.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

You Can Be Changed 10/13 Monday Meditation

It is a great purpose that God has for us that we can be changed, and you are in a great place when you are willing to have this change take place. You are in a greater place when you are willing to drop everything that has brought you to where you thought you could not be changed, and when you have dropped all things that have hindered you, you have leaped forth and been tremendously changed.







If you have held anything on a human plane, no matter how it has come, if it is not according to the biblical standard of the Word of God let it be weeded out. If you do not get it weeded out, there is a time coming that wood, hay, and stubble will be burned and the gold, the silver, and the precious stones will stand the fire.







-- Smith Wigglesworth

In a Great Place 10/11 Friday Faith

The Lord wants you to be in a great place, the Holy Ghost having such control of your inner eyes to reveal the fulness of the Lord of life, till Jesus is magnified tremendously by the revelation of the Holy Ghost, till He becomes Lord over all things, over your affections, your will, your purposes, your plans, and your wishes forever. Let Him be Lord.



-- Smith Wigglesworth

Are You Ready? 10/10 Thursday Thoughts

Oh, to believe God! Oh, to rest upon what He says, for there is not one jot or tittle of the Word which shall fail till all is fulfilled! Has He not promised and will He not also perform? Our blessed Lord of life and glory impressed upon us before He left that He would send the Comforter and when He came He should take the words of Jesus and He would pray through us and whatsoever we would ask, the Lord would hear us.


So I want you to get in a definite place, daring to ask God for something that shall be the means of stimulating your life forever.

Are you ready? You say, "What for?" To have some of the promises fulfilled.

Divine Life Flow 10/8 Wed. Wisdom

Back from vacation in the Florida panhandle.



God has for us today a stimulation of divine acquaintance, a life divine to flow through our being that shall be sufficient for us in all times of need. When God is for you, who can be against you? What a blessed assurance this is to the hungry heart. How it thrills one to the very depths of their soul.



-- Smith Wigglesworth

You Will Be Changed 10/2 Wednesday Wisdom

Yes, beloved, this is the day of the visitation of the Lord again... Look at Him tonight, you needy ones. As you gaze upon Him you will be changed, a strength will come to you, you will exchange strength. He is the God of Jacob, the God of the helpless and undone... Jacob cried, "Don't go till you have blessed me." God will bless you there. A place of helplessness and brokenness, there God will meet you. Have you been there?
