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.

You Have Eternal Life 1/30 Tuesday Truth
No person need be without the knowledge that they are not only saved, but that God can live in these bodies. You are begotten the moment you believe, unto a lively hope. "He that believeth hath eternal life. You have eternal life the moment you believe. The first life is temporal, natural, material, but in the new birth you exist as long as God -- forever -- we are begotten by an incorruptible power, by the Word of God. The new birth is unto righteousness, begotten by God the moment that you believe. God always saves through the heart. He that believeth in the heart and confesseth with his mouth shall be saved.

Only Believe 1/29 Monday Meditation
He speaks the word just in time! Jesus is never behind time. When the tumult is the worst, the pain the most severe, the cancer gripping the body, then the word comes, "Only believe." When everything seems as though it will fail, and is practically hopeless, the Word of God comes to us, "Only believe."

Weak or Strong 1/26 Friday Faith
When you are weak, then you are strong. When you are strong in your own strength, you are weak. You must realize this and live only in the place where the power of God rests upon you, and where the Spirit moves within you. Then God will mightily manifest His power and you will know as Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me."

Into a Life Where God Rules 1/24 Wednesday Wisdom
The Lord wants us to understand that we must come to a place where our natural life ceases, and by the power of God we rise into a life where God rules, where He reigns. Do you long to know Him? Do you long to be found in Him? Thy longing shall be satisfied this day. This is a day of putting on and being clothed upon in God. I ask you to fall in the presence of God, all you that want to know God, yield to His mighty power and obey the Spirit.

A Greater Plan 1/23 Tuesday Truth
My brother, my sister, you have been nearly weighed down with troubles. They have almost crushed you. Sometimes you thought you would never get out of this place of difficulty but you have no idea that behind the whole thing God has been working a plan greater than all.

He Is Always There 1/22 Monday Meditation
There is a place of seclusion, a place of rest and faith in Jesus where there is nothing else like it. Jesus came to them on the water and they were terrified, but He said, "It is I; be not afraid." My brother, He is always there. He is there in the storm as well as in the peace; He is there in the adversity. When shall we know He is there? When we are "found in Him" not having our own work, our own plan, but resting in the omnipotent plan of God.

Things That Need To Be Broken 1/19 Friday Faith
There are a thousand things in the nucleus of a human heart which need softening a thousand times a day. There are things in us that unless God shows us the excellency of the knowledge of Him, will never be broken and brought to ashes. But God will do it. Not merely to be saved, but to be saved a thousand times over! Oh, this transforming, re-regeneration by the power of the Spirit of the living God makes me see there is a place to win Him, that I may stand complete there. As He was, so am I to be. The Scriptures declare it, it shall be.

New All the Time 1/18 Thursday Thoughts
Every day there must be a revival touch in our hearts. Every day must change us after His fashion. We are to be made new all the time. There is no such thing as having all grace and knowledge -- there is a beginning, and God would have us begin in all these beatitudes of power this morning, and never cease, but rise and rise and go on to perfection.

God Makes Weakness Strength 1/17 Wednesday Wisdom
And I say, brother, sister, unless God brings us into a place of brokenness of spirit, unless God remolds us in the great plan of His will for us, the best of us shall utterly fail. But when we are absolutely taken in hand by the Almighty God, God makes even weakness strength. He makes even that barren, helpless, groaning cry come forth, so that men and women are born in the travail. There is a place where the helplessness is touched by the almightiness of God and where you come out shining as gold tried in the fire.

How a Man Falls 1/16 Tuesday Truth
"A man does not fall because he makes a blunder, he falls because he makes a blunder the second time." But God does not want us to fall but to be kept by His grace from falling, and to strive for holiness.

God in Us for the World 1/15 Monday Meditation
God in us for a world, that the world may be blessed. Power to lay hold of omnipotence and impart to others the Word of life. This is to be a new epoch, new vision, new power. Christ in us is a thousand times greater than we know. All things are possible if you dare believe. The treasure is in earthen vessels that Jesus may be glorified.

Thirsty for More of God 1/12 Friday Faith

He Is Willing 1/9 Tuesday Truth

Failing at Prayer 1/8 Monday Meditation
Taking a one-day break from Smith Wigglesworth for this quote from Leonard Ravenhill, quoted in Trail of Fire, by Daniel K. Norris:
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying... Poverty-stricken as the church is today in many things, she is most stricken here, in the place of prayer. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many player and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.

A Man Full of Faith 1/5 Friday Faith
A man full of faith hopes against hope. He shouts while the walls are up and they come down while he shouts! God has this faith for us in Christ. We must be careful that no unbelief is found in us, no wavering.

Forgiven and Forgotten 1/4 Thursday Thoughts
He sees our bitter tears and our weeping night after night. There is none like Him. He knows. He forgives. We cannot forgive ourselves; we oftentimes would give the world to forget, but we cannot. The devil won't let us forget. But God has forgiven and forgotten. Do you believe self, or the devil, or God? Which are you going to believe? Believe God. I know the past is under the blood and that God has forgiven and forgotten, for when He forgives He forgets.

Burning and Shining Lights 1/3 Wednesday Wisdom
God has set us here in the last days, these of apostasy, and would have us be burning and shining lights in the midst of an untoward generation. God is longing for us to come into such a fruitful position as the sons of God, with the marks of heaven upon us, His divinity burning through our humanity, so that He can express Himself through our lips of clay. He can take clay lips, weak humanity, and make of such an oracle [spokesman] for Himself. He can take frail human nature and by His divine power make our bodies meet to be His holy temple, washing our hearts whiter than snow.

Be Like Stephen 1/2 Tuesday Truth
God wants us to be like Stephen, full of faith and full of the Holy Ghost. You can never be the same again after you have received this wonderful baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is important that day by day we should be full of wisdom and faith, and full of the Holy Ghost, acting by the power of the Holy Ghost.
