Be Vigilant! 11/27 Wednesday Wisdom

This will be the last devotional for the week. Have a happy, safe, and blessed Thanksgiving and Hanukkah (8 days, starting Wed. night).







A man chosen to "serve tables", (Stephen) having such a revelation of the mind of Christ and of the depth and height of God, that there was no "stop" in his experience, but a going forward with leaps and bounds. Beloved, there is a race to be run, there is a crown to be won; we cannot stand still! I say unto you, be vigilant! Be vigilant! "Let no man take thy crown!"

From Glory to Glory 11/26 Tuesday Truth

Being filled with the Holy Spirit, we go on "from glory to glory." Let us not forget that possessing the baptism in the Holy Spirit means there must be an "ever-increasing" holiness. How the Church needs divine unction -- God's presence and power so manifest that the world will know it. The people know when the tide is flowing; they also know when it is ebbing.

Power of God Unwelcome 11/25 Monday Meditation

Any amount of people may be found in the "synagogue," who are very proper in a world sense -- always correctly dressed, the "elite" of the land, welcoming everything into the church but the power of God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Filled With Power 11/22 Friday Faith

"Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?" "Are you filled with divine power?"

This is the heritage of the Church, to be so endued with power that God can lay His hand upon any member at any time to do His perfect will. There is no "stop" in the Spirit-filled life."

God Wants Nothing Less 11/21 Thursday Thoughts

During the time of the inauguration of the Church the disciples were hard pressed on all lines; the things of natural order could not be attended to, and many were complaining concerning the neglect of their widows. The disciples therefore decided upon a plan, which was to choose seven men to do the work -- men who were "full of the Holy Ghost." What a divine thought! No matter what kind of work was to be done, however menial it may have been, the person chosen must be filled with the Holy Ghost. The plan of the Church was that everything, even of natural order, must be sanctified unto God, for the Church has to be a "Holy Ghost" Church. Beloved, God has never ordained anything less!

God's Grandest Plan 1120 Wednesday Wisdom

He has a plan for every individual life, and if we have any other plan in view, we miss the grandest plan of all! Nothing of the past is equal to the present, and nothing of the present can equal the things of tomorrow, for "tomorrow" should be so filled with holy expectations that we will be "living flames" for Him. God never intended His people to be ordinary, or common-place; His intentions were that they should be on fire for Him, conscious of His divine power, realizing the glory of the cross that foreshadows the crown.

The People in Whom God Delights 11/19 Tuesday Truth

The people in whom God delights are the ones who rest upon His Word without wavering. God has nothing for the man who wavers, for "let him that wavereth expect nothing from God."

-- Smith Wigglesworth

Need of Holiness 11/18 Monday Meditation

You have need to have holiness, the righteousness and Spirit of the Master, so that in every walk of life everything that is not like our Lord Jesus will have to depart, and that is what is needed today. I ask you in the Holy Ghost to seek the place where He is in power.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

The Word "Believe" 11/15 Friday Faith

If I read into my text this afternoon this, "He that believeth shall speak in tongues, he that believeth shall cast out devils, he that believeth shall lay hands on the sick," if I read this into my text, on the surface of it, it seems exactly easy, but you must understand this, there are volumes to be applied to the word _believe_. To believe is to believe in the need of the majesty of the glory of the power, which is all power, which brings all other powers into subjection.




And what is belief? ... To believe is to have the knowledge of Him in whom you believe, it is not to believe in the word _Jesus_, but to believe in the nature, to believe in the vision, for all power is given unto Him, and greater is He that is within thee in the revelation of faith than he that is in the world.

Too Much of God? 11/14 Thursday Thoughts

Did it ever strike you we cannot be too full for a vision, we cannot have too much of God? The more of God, then the visions begin. When God has you in His own plan, what a change, how things operate. You wonder, you see things in a new light. And how God is being glorified as you yield from day to day, and the Spirit seems to lay hold of you and bring you on. Yes, it is pressing on, and then He gives you touches of His wonderful power, manifestations of the glory of these things and indications of great things to follow, and these days which we are living in now speak of better days. How wonderful!

Moving Mountains 11/13 Wednesday Wisdom

Beloved, do not stumble if you cannot move mountains; oh no, there may be some molehills need moving first.



-- Smith Wigglesworth

Just Keeping Pace 11/12/13 Tuesday Truth

It is a disgrace to God for a person just to keep pace. We must press on; if you are making no headway, you must be a backslider, because you have had such opportunities.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

Hot and Hotter 11/11 Monday Meditation

God has no need of a man who is hot today and cold tomorrow; He needs men who are hot today and hotter tomorrow and still hotter the next day -- that is the man who is going to touch the glory.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

Confidence in things seen? 11/8 Friday Faith

Here they lay, a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, around that pool, waiting for the moving of the water. Did Jesus heal everybody? He left many around that pool unhealed. There were doubtless many who had their eyes on the pool and who had no eyes for Jesus. There are many today who have their confidence all the time in things seen. If they would only get their eyes on God instead of on natural things, how quickly they would be helped.



--Smith Wigglesworth

Dare to Believe 11/7 Thursday Thoughts

Dare to believe that Jesus was wounded for your transgressions, was bruised for your iniquities, was chastised that you might have peace, and that by His stripes there is healing for you right here and now. . . Cry out to Him even now, "Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief."



-- Smith Wigglesworth

Perfect Atonement 11/6 Wednesday Wisdom

There is healing through the blood of Christ and deliverance for every captive. God never intended His children to live in misery because of some affliction that comes directly from the devil. A perfect atonement was made at Calvary. I believe that Jesus bore my sins, and I am free from them all. I am justified from all things if I dare believe. He Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses; and if I dare believe, I can be healed.



-- Smith Wigglesworth

Is any sick? 11/5 Tuesday Truth

Today there is bread, there is life, there is health for every child of God through His all-powerful Word.



Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. -- James 5:14, 15



We have in this precious Word a real basis for the truth of healing. In this scripture God gives very definite instructions to the sick. If you are sick, your part is to call for the elders of the church; it is their part to anoint and pray for you in faith, and then the whole situation rests with the Lord. When you have been anointed and prayed for, you can rest assured that the Lord will raise you up. It is the Word of God.

The Power of the Word 11/4 Monday Meditation

I believe the Word of God is so powerful that it can transform any and every life. There is power in God's Word to make that which does not appear to appear. There is executive power in the Word that proceeds from His lips. The psalmist tells us, "He sent His word, and healed them..." (Psalm 107:20). And do you think that Word has diminished in its power? I tell you nay, but God's Word can bring things to pass as of old.
