Press On 4/1 Tuesday Truth

Not a weapon that is formed against you can proper.  Know the wisdom and purpose of the great hand that is upon you.  Glorify God in distresses and persecutions, for the Spirit of God is there made manifest.  Be chastened!  Be perfected!  Press on to heights, lengths, depths, breadths.  Faith is the victory.  The hope is within you, the joy set before you.

Every Trial Is a LIft 3/30 Monday Meditation

Every trial is a lift -- every burden a place of exchanging strength.  God will work.  "Who can lay anything to the charge of God's elect?"  People do it, but it makes no difference.  God is for us.  "...Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for those that love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9).  But unto us it hath been revealed by the Spirit.

Eat All the Time 3/28 Friday Faith

When I was baptized in the Holy Ghost, God showed me when Adam and Eve transgressed and were turned out of the garden -- at the gate was put a flaming sword -- a sword of death if they entered in -- but the baptism of the Holy Ghost put the tree of life right in me and a flaming sword outside to keep the devil from me -- that I might eat all the time of the eternal bread.

Far More Exceeding Glory 3/27 Thursday Thoughts

Shall we allow our hearts to fail us in the day of adversity?  No!  That which God has already strengthened and perfected!! -- weakness made strong! -- corruption changed to purity!  Knowing that in the tribulation and the fire God has purified us, what shall we say to these things?  These light afflictions are working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

God has been... 3/26 Wednesday Wisdom

The Spirit of the Lord is showing me God must get a people who can see that from before the foundation of the world He has had them in His mind.  God has been delivering us through all difficulty.  Where sin abounded He has brought in His grace, where disease came in to steal our life, God raised up a standard and we are here having come through tribulation.  God has been purifying us, strengthening us, equipping us with divine audacity by the power of almightiness -- till we can say, "What shall we say then to these things?"

To Do and To Teach 3/25 Tuesday Truth

At Alexandria I got on the ship.  I wanted to preach, but I could not.  I had not the language, and no interpreter.  I read Acts 1:1, "...Jesus began both to do and to teach."  To do and then to teach.  I wanted to do, but how?  I was ready, but I had no opportunity.  Men cannot make the opportunity... It is God who makes the opportunity, and just where I stood a man fell on the deck.  His wife cried out, "My husband is dead."  One ran for the doctor, but before he arrived I began to do.  I said, "In the name of Jesus," and the man revived.  There was much excitement and pointing at me -- all wanted to know what had happened.  I could not speak to them, but I found five people who could interpret me.  And all on the ship heard the old story of Jesus and His love. Don't forget, we have to begin to do, then to teach.

Feel the Fire 3/24 Monday Meditation

Another time in Jerusalem at the place of wailing, the Spirit of the Lord moved me.  I saw young men, many of them in the prime of manhood, beating their breasts, weeping bitterly, saying, "Lord, how long, Lord, how long?"  I preached unto them Jesus.  On the next day ten came to see me, and with them a rabbi.  They said, "Where did the fire come from?  When you preached we felt the fire.  We have no fire in our synagogues." Oh, brother, the baptism of the Holy Ghost is a fire of baptism.  "...he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire."  Matthew 3:11
So I began to talk with them about God's promises of a Messiah, and how He was crucified at Calvary.  God wants us so filled with the Holy Ghost that people feel the power -- feel the fire.

Turned Into Another Man 3/17 Monday Meditation

I remember twenty-two years ago when I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:4.  I sent home a wire (the post office was opposite my house), that I had received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and was speaking in other tongues. The news ran like fire -- everybody seemed to know.  When I arrived home my wife said to me, "So you have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and are speaking in tongues?"  She said, "I want you to know I am baptized as much as you."  Right in my house the war began.  She said, "For twenty years I have been the preacher."  (I could not preach; I have tried many a time.)  Preachers are God-made men...   My wife said, "Next Sunday you go on the platform yourself -- and I'll see if there is anything in it."  I had been under great pressure what I was to speak about, and as I went on to the platform Jesus said the me, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon [thee]..."  (Luke 4:18).I don't know what I said -- but my wife -- she got up -- she sat down -- she got up -- she sat down -- she said, "That is not my husband." 
 
No man can be filled with the Holy Ghost and be the same man.  He is turned into another man.

THIS WILL BE MY LAST POST FOR A WEEK, AS I WILL BE ON VACATION.

When the Holy Ghost Comes In 3/14 Friday Faith

When the Holy Ghost comes in, Jesus is Lord -- then His Word floods our souls, and the tide flows out to the needy, the vision increases.  Hungrier than ever --- nothing satisfies me but God.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

When we receive ... 3/13 Thursday Thoughts

When we receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost, we receive a new ministry with divine power and glory.  The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.  The Holy Ghost reveals the Christ Who reigns in every believer when Jesus is coronated, and Jesus is coronated when you receive the Holy Ghost.  Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?

With You and In You 3/12 Wednesday Wisdom

A brother came to see me to ask about the Holy Ghost.  He was so anxious that his ministry should be a success.  I pointed out to him the words of Jesus to His disciples, "The Holy Ghost is with you and shall be in you."  I said to him, "You see the sun this morning -- how it pours into the room from the outside?  But if the light was inside, how the light would shine forth outside illuminating the dark places."

Our Whole Being 3/11 Tuesday Truth

Our whole being so full of the life of our Lord, that the Holy Ghost can speak and act through us.  Living always in Him.  Oh, the charm of His divine plan.  Living out on God for His omnipotent place for future ministry.  Crying out for the inspiration of the God of power.  Acting in the Holy Ghost.  Breathing out life divine.  The glory, miracles, wonders, working out the plan of the most High God.  Eaten up -- knowing nothing among men, save Jesus and Him crucified.  Unto Thee, O God, be the glory and the honor and the power!

Salt 3/10 Monday Meditation

"Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt..." (Colossians 4:6).  Salt has three properties:  1. It smarts;  2. It is healing; and 3. It has preservation.  So your words by the Spirit, filled with grace, yet, cut to the heart, and brings preservation.  We must be very careful to be salty.  His Word shall not return void, it shall accomplish and it shall prosper-- but our mouths must be clean and our desire wholly for God.

Faith! Faith! 3/6 Friday Faith

This is the third consecutive Friday that I have used a faith theme for "Friday Faith".

Faith!  Faith!  Making us know God is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.  God!  Who quickeneth that which was dead, and calleth the things that are not as though they were.  There is no want to those who trust God.  He quickeneth the dead.  The more Abraham was pressed, the more he rejoiced.  Being not weak in faith.  He considered not his own body.  He staggered not through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God, that what He had promised He was able to perform.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

We must go ... 3/6 Thursday Thoughts

[Jesus] was God's pattern, a firstfruit clothed with power.  We must go in His name, that when you lay hands on the sick, Satan has no power, and when you command in Jesus' name he has to go...  Let us take God's Word and stand upon it, as our strength to resist the devil till he is forced to flee.  Amen, amen.
-- Smith Wigglesworth 

If you know ... 3/5 Wednesday Wisdom

If you know the baptism of the Holy Ghost is in the Scriptures, never rest until God gives it to you.  If you know it is Scriptural to be healed of every weakness -- to be holy, pure, to overcome amid all conditions -- never rest until you are an overcomer.  If you have seen the face of God and had vision and revelation, never rest until you attain it.

Deliverance Testimony 3/4 Tuesday Truth

Eight years ago after a distressing voyage, going straight from the ship to the meeting, as I entered the building, a man fell down across the doorway in a fit.  The Spirit of the Lord was upon me, and I commanded the devil to leave.  In my visit this year, I ventured to ask, "Does anyone remember the incident?"  I spoke in English.  The man did not know a word of English, he stood up, I told him to come to the platform.  He said he knew the binding power of the name of Jesus, and he had not had a fit since the stranger came.  I had to know Acts 2:15, and then I began to do.  Oh, my
God, keep me there.

Divine Power Floods Us 3/3 Monday Meditation

At twenty-one years of age God flooded my life with His power, and there has not been a day since without happenings wonderful.  God by His divine power flooding human vessels.  God manifest in flesh, in our flesh, Christ being made manifest by the power of God.  God has chosen us in a new way.  He has made us kings and priests Himself, and the day is not far distant when we shall be with Him forever.
