We must not limit the Holy One. And we must clearly see that God brought us forth to make us supernatural, that we might be changed all the time on the line of the supernatural, that we may every day live so in the Spirit, that all of the revelations of God are just like a canvas thrown before our eyes, on which we see clearly step by step all the divine will of God.

Feathers 5/29 Thursday Thoughts
You must seek to have the mind of God on all things. If you don't, you will stop His working. I had to learn that as I was on the water en route to Australia. We stopped at a place called Aden, where they were selling all kinds of ware. Among other things were some... ostrich feathers in great quantities. There was a gentleman in "first class" who wanted feathers... He did not want so many. He said to me, "Will you join me?" I knew I did not want feathers... However, he pleaded with me to join him. I perceived it was the Spirit as clearly as anything and I said, "Yes, I will." ... Then I found the man had no money on him. He had plenty in his cabin. I perceived it was the Spirit again, so it fell to my lot to pay for the feathers... The man came and brought the money. I said, "God wants me to talk to you. Now sit down." So he sat down and in ten minutes' time the whole of his life was unhinged, unraveled, broken up, so broken that like a big baby he wept and cried for salvation. It was "feathers" that did it. But you know we shall never know the mind of God till we learn to know the voice of God.

I Am Made Twice 5/28 Wednesday Wisdom
We are both of the incorruptible Word of God which liveth and abideth forever, which made the world and brought into existence things that were not there, and there was nothing made but what He made, and so I realize I am made twice. I was made first by the creation of God. The next time I was begotten in a moment of time, eternally begotten, and if you believe in your heart you can begin to say, and whatsoever you say will come to pass if you believe in your heart.

Entertainment 5/26 Monday Meditation
When the ship began to move I said to the people, "I am going to preach on this ship on Sunday, will you come and hear me preach?" They said no. Later they came around again and said, "We are going to have an entertainment, and we would like you to be in it... "Yes," I told them, "I have got a clear witness that I have to be in the entertainment." They said, "Now we want to know what position you would like to have on the programme." ... I asked, "What do you finish up with?" "A dance." "Well, put me down just before the dance."...
When they had all done their pieces, my turn came and I went up to the piano with my "Redemption Songs," and the lady, who was rather less than half dressed, when she saw the music said, "I cannot play this kind of music." I said, "Be at peace, young lady, I have music and words inside." So I sang...
God took it up, and from the least to the greatest they were weeping. They never had a dance, but they had a prayer meeting, and SIX YOUNG MEN WERE SAVED by the power of God in my cabin.

This Wonderful Word 5/23 Friday Faith
God spoke the Word and made the world, and I want to impress upon you this wonderful Word which made the world. I am saved by the incorruptible Word, the Word that made the world, and so my position by faith is to lay hold of the things which cannot be seen, and believe the things which cannot be understood. FAITH LIVES IN A COMMANDING POSITION where you know God will work the miracle, if you dare to stand upon the Word.

Faith Is the Substance 5/22 Thursday Thoughts
Faith is the substance and it is a reality, and God wants to bring us to the fact of it. He wants us to know that we have something greater than we can see or handle, because everything you can see and handle is going to pass away. The heavens are going to be wrapped up and the earth melt with fervent heat, but the Word of the Lord shall abide for ever.

Dare the Impossible 5/21 Wednesday Wisdom
If you do not venture, you remain ordinary as long as you live. If you dare the impossible then God will abundantly do far above all you can ask or think.

Step Into Liberty 5/20 Tuesday Truth
Evil spirits have no more control, if I believe that God is, and I do, I do. I know I am free from all the powers of darkness, free from all the powers of evil, and it is a wonderful thing to be free, and because you are free you step into the liberty of freed men and claim the possessions of God.

A Wonderful Jesus We Have 5/19 Monday Meditation
Oh this wonderful fascinating Jesus, eating into our hearts, burning in our bosom. What a wonderful Jesus we have. Something about Him kindles fire in the darkest place. Something about our Lord makes all darkness light. God's Son is for all our human nature, and when we have Him we have more than we can speak about and think about. God's Son can set the world ablaze and bring heaven right into the place where we live.

The Man of Faith 5/15 Thursday Thoughts
The elders always had a good report because of faith, and if devastating winds blow, it does not matter. The men of faith are not moved by anything they see or hear. The man of faith does not live in time. He has begun in eternity. He does not count on the things that are; HE RELIES ON THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT.

Enlargement of Capacity 5/14 Wednesday Wisdom
Salvation is the beginning; sanctification is a continuation; the baptism in the Holy Ghost is the enlargement of capacity for the risen Christ. God comes along and inspires your thoughts and says, "Now go forward, My child; it will be all right. Do not give in."

A Million Times Greater 5/13 Tuesday Truth
God gives us this remarkable substance that is called faith. It consists of the Word of God, of the personality of God, of the nature of God, and the acts of God, and those four things are all in faith. Faith is a deep reality caused by God's personality waking up our humanity to leap into eternal things and be lost forever in something a million times greater than yourself. To be possessed by and be the possessor of something a million times greater than you!

Faith Is an Act 5/12 Monday Meditation
Now God does not want anybody in the world, under any circumstances, to be in a place where they live on eyesight and on feelings. Faith never feels and faith never looks. Faith is an act, and faith without an act is not faith, but doubt and disgrace. Every one of you has more faith than you are using.

Going On, Non-Stop 5/9 Friday Faith
The Christian life is a going on, non-stop, until you reach the top. If you ever stop between Calvary and the glory, it is you who blocked the way. There is no stop between Calvary and the glory except by human failure, but if you allow God to have His way, He will surely transform us, for His plan is to change us from what we are to what He intends us to be, and never to lose the ideal of His great plan for us.

God is... 5/8 Thursday Thoughts
God... is not ordinary, but extraordinary, not measured, but immeasurable, abounding in everything. There is nothing small about God, and when we understand God we will find out that there ought not to be anything small about us. We must have AN ENLARGEMENT OF OUR CONCEPTION OF GOD, then we will know that we have come to a place where all things are possible, for God is an omnipotent God for impossible positions.

Nervous Trouble 5/7 Wednesday Wisdom
So many people have nervous trouble. I'll tell you how to get rid of your nervous trouble. I have something in my bag, one dose of which will cure you. "...I am the Lord that healeth thee" (Exodus 15:26). How this wonderful Word of God changes the situation. "...perfect love casteth out fear..." (I John 4:18). "There is no fear in love..." (v. 18). I have tested that so often, casting out the whole condition of fear and the whole situation has been changed. We have a big God, only He has to be absolutely and only trusted. The people who really do believe God are strong, and "he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger."

Have Faith 5/6 Tuesday Truth
"Have faith." It isn't saying you have faith. It is he that believeth in his heart. It is a grasping of the eternal God. Faith is God in the human vessel. "...this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" (I John 5:4). He that believeth overcomes the world. "...faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). He that believeth in his heart! Can you imagine anything easier than that? He that believeth in his heart! What is the process? Death! No one can live who believes in his heart. He dies to everything worldly. He that loves the world is not of God. You can measure the whole thing up, and examine yourself to see if you have faith. Faith is a life. Faith enables you to lay hold of that which is and get it out of the way for God to bring in something that is not.

She Lived 5/5 Monday Meditation
Here is an act of believing in the heart. I was called to Halifax, England, to pray for a lady missionary... I could see there was an absence of faith, and I could see there was death. Death is a terrible thing, and God wants to keep us alive. I know that it is appointed unto man once to die, but I believe in a rapturous death. I said to the woman, "How are you?" She said, "I have faith," in a very weak tone of voice. "Faith? Why are you dying?"...
I said to her, "In the name of Jesus, now believe and you'll live." She said, "I believe," and God sent life from her head to her feet. They dressed her and she lived.

Hating Sin 5/2 Friday Faith
No man is any good for God and never make progress in God who does not hate sin. You are never safe. But there is a place in God where you can love righteousness and where you can hate iniquity till the Word of God is a light in your bosom, quickening every fiber of your body, thrilling your whole nature.
