God Doesn't Make Failures 6/30 Friday Faith

Next week's Lep's Faith Quotes will be hit-and-miss due to work, holiday, and having company.

Do you think that God would make you to be a failure?  God has never made man to be a failure.  He made man to be a "son"; to walk about  the earth in power; and so when I look at you I know that there is a capability that can be put into you... Yes, there is a capacity of the power of Christ to dwell in you, to bring every evil thing under you till you can put your feet upon it, and be master over the flesh and the devil' till within you there is nothing rises except that which will magnify and glorify the Lord.

No Such Thing as Defeat 6/28 Thursday Thoughts

 I tell you this morning that God is able to so transform and change and bring you into order by the Spirit that you can become a new creation after God's order.  There is no such thing as defeat for the believer.  Without the cross, without Christ's righteousness, without the new birth, without the indwelling Christ, without this divine incoming of God, I see myself a failure.  But God, the Holy Ghost, can come in and take our place till we are renew in righteousness -- made the children of God.

In the Flesh or In the Spirit 6/28 Wednesday Wisdom

I do not know what your state of grace is -- whether you are saved or not; but it is an awful thing for me to see people, who profess to be Christian, lifeless and powerless, and in a place where their lives are so parallel with the world's that it is difficult to discriminate which place they are in, whether in the flesh or in the Spirit.  Many people live in that place which is described to us by Paul in Romans 7:25:  "...with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."  That is the place where sin is in the ascendancy, but when the power of God comes to you, it is to separate you from yourself.

After Jesus Prayed All Night 6/27 Tuesday Truth

It was quite natural for Jesus after He had served a whole day amongst the multitudes to want to go to His Father and pray all night.  Why?  He wanted a source of strength and power, and an association with His Father which would bring everything else to a place of submission; and when Jesus came from the mountain after communion with His Father, and after being clothed with His Holy presence and Spirit, when He met the demon power it had to go out.  When He met sickness, it had to leave.  He came from the mountain with power to meet the needs of the people, whatever they were.

Immersed in the Life of God 6/26 Monday Meditation

It is not sufficient to have just a "touch," or to be filled with a "desire."  There is only one thing that will meet the needs of the people, and that is for you to be immersed in the life of God -- God taking you, and making you so filled with His Spirit, till you live right in God; so that whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, it may be all for the glory of God, and in that place you will find that all your strength and all your mind and all your soul are filled with a zeal, not only for worship, but for proclamation; proclamation accompanied by all the power of God, which must move satanic power, [and] disturb the world.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Why the World Does Not See Jesus 6/23 Friday Faith

The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is because Christian people are not filled with Jesus.  They are satisfied with weekly meetings, and occasionally reading the Bible, and sometimes praying.  Beloved, if God lays hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything and a beginning of God, so that your whole body becomes seasoned with a divine likeness of God.  He has begun not only to use you, but He has taken you in hand, so that you might be a vessel unto honor.

-Smith Wigglesworth

Cleansed From All Filthiness 6/22 Thursday Thoughts

Can we have a hatred for sin and a love for righteousness?  Yes, God will create within thee a pure heart.  He will take away the stony heart out of the flesh.  He will sprinkle thee with clean water and thou shalt be cleansed from all thy filthiness.  When will He do it?  When you seek Him for such inward purity.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Your One Desire 6/21 Wednesday Wisdom

Seek the Lord and He will sanctify every thought, every act, till your whole being is ablaze with holy purity and your one desire will be for Him who has created you in holiness.  Oh, this holiness!  Can we be made pure?  We can.  Every inbred sin must go.  God can cleanse away every evil thought.

--Smith Wigglesworth

How Satan Gets an Open Door 6/20 Tuesday Truth

Before Satan can bring his evil spirits, there has to be an open door...  How does Satan get an opening?  When the saint ceases to seek after holiness, purity, righteousness, truth; when he ceases to pray, stops reading the Word and gives way to carnal appetites.  Then it is that Satan comes.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Changed Into His Likeness 6/19 Monday Meditation

As we think about that which is pure, we become pure.  As we think about that which is holy, we become holy.  And as we think about our Lord Jesus Christ, we become like Him.  We are changed into the likeness of the object on which our gaze is fixed.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Perfect Deliverance 6/16 Friday Faith

There is a life of perfect deliverance, and this is where God wants you to be.  If I find my peace is disturbed on any line, I know it is the enemy who is trying to work.  How do I know this?  Because the Lord has promised to keep your mind in perfect peace when it is stayed on Him (Isaiah 26:3).

--Smith Wigglesworth

Our Only Safety 6/15 Thursday Thoughts

You ask, "Is there any place for the enemy in one that has been baptized in the Holy Ghost?"  Our only safety is in going on with God and in being constantly filled with the Holy Ghost.

--Smith Wigglesworth

No Ordinary Men (Let God Have His Way) 6/14 Wed. Wisdom

God has no room for ordinary men.  A man can be swept by the power of God in his first stage of revelation of Christ, and from that moment has to be an extraordinary man, but to be filled with the Holy Ghost he has to become a free, free body for God to dwell in, and no man can have Trinity abiding in him and be as he was before, so I appeal to you tonight, you people who have been filled with the Holy Ghost, I appeal to you whatever is the cost, let God have His way.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Real Saving and Healing Power 6/13 Tuesday Truth

Our God is real in saving and healing power today. Our Jesus is just the same, yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).  He saves and heals today just as of old, and He wants to be your Savior and your Healer.

--Smith Wigglesworth

The Devil's Mighty Victory 6/12 Monday Meditation

The devil knows that if he can capture your thought life, he has won a mighty victory over you.  His great business is injecting thought, but if you are pure and holy you will instantly shrink from them.  God wants us to let the mind that was in Christ Jesus, that pure, holy, humble mind of Christ, be in us.



--Smith Wigglesworth

Not Only For a Few 6/9 Friday Faith

And before He went to the glory, He told His disciples that they should receive the power of the Holy Ghost upon them, too.  Thus, through them, His gracious community would continue.  This power of the Holy Ghost was not only for a few apostles, but even for them that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God should call (Acts 2:39), even for us away down in the twentieth century.  Some ask, "But was not this power just for the privileged few in the first century?"  No.  Read the Master's great commission as recorded by Mark, and you will see it is for them who believe. 


--Smith Wigglesworth

Be Humble, Usable Vessels 6/8 Thursday Thoughts

We have been seeing wonderful miracles these last days and they are only a little of what we are going to see.  I believe that we are right on the threshold of wonderful things, but I want to emphasize that all these things will be through the power of the Holy Ghost.  You must not think that these gifts will fall upon you like ripe cherries.  There is a sense in which you have to pay the price for everything you get.  We must be covetous for God's best gifts, and say Amen to any preparation the Lord takes us through, in order that we may be humble, usable vessels through whom He Himself can operate by means of the Spirit's power.

--Smith Wigglesworth 

Dealing With the Devil 6/7 Wednesday Wisdom

Take your position in the first epistle of John and declare, "...greater is he that is in [me], than he that is in the world" (I John 4:4).  Then recognize that it is not yourself that has to deal with the power of the devil, but the Greater One that is in you.  Oh, what it means to be filled with Him.  You can do nothing of yourself, but He that is in you will win the victory.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Move On With the Lord 6/6 Tuesday Truth

If we do not move on with the Lord these days, and do not walk in the light of revealed truth, we shall become as the savorless salt, as a withered branch.  This one thing we must do, forgetting those things that are behind, the past failures and the past blessings, we must reach forth for those things which are before, and press toward the mark for the prize of our high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13,14).

--Smith Wigglesworth

Have an Overflowing Cup 6/5 Monday Meditation

  A good follow-up to Pentecost:


God's command is for us to be filled with the Spirit.  We are no good if we only have a full cup.  We need to have an overflowing cup all the time.  It is a tragedy not to live in the fullness of overflowing.  See that you never live below the overflowing tide.



--Smith Wigglesworth

Pentecost 6/2 Friday Faith

This coming Sunday, June 4, is Pentecost, celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit to indwell all believers.  Here is an appropriate quote from Smith Wigglesworth:


Yes, there is a power, a blessing, an assurance, a rest in the presence of the Holy Ghost.  You can feel His presence and know that He is with you.  You need not spend an hour without this inner knowledge of His holy presence.  With His power upon you there can be no failure. You are above par all the time.
