I Believe the Word of God... 3/1 Thursday Thoughts

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 today as of old.

Billy Graham's Call 2/22 Thursday Thougths

Was God calling him to full-time preaching?...

"I used all kinds of rationalizations to convince God to let me do something else," he wrote.  [But] the inner urge would not subside.  Finally, one night, he got down on his knees at the edge of one of the greens.  He prostrated himself on the dewy turf.  "Oh God," he sobbed.  "If you want me to serve you, I will."

The moonlight , the moss, the breeze, the golf course -- all his surroundings stayed the same.  There  was no voice from above.  But in his spirit, Billy knew he had been called to the ministry. 

And he knew his answer was yes.

When We Have Nothing... 2/21 Wednesday Wisdom

Every Day Higher Ground 2/7 Wednesday Wisdom

You must every day make higher ground.  You must deny yourself to get on with God.  You must refuse everything that is not pure and holy and separate.  God wants you pure in heart.  He wants your intense desire after holiness.

Is Is Only He 2/6 Tuesday Truth

It is only He, it is He who rolls away the cloud.  He alone is the One who lifts the fallen, cheers the faint, brings fresh oil, and changes the countenance.  It is the Lord thy God.  He has seen thy misery, He has known thy heart brokenness, and He has known how near you seem to be in despair...
Oh, beloved, God is in the midst of us to help us into these wonderful divine places of appointment!

"But" (original sermon subtitle: "Be Not Lopsided") 2/5 Monday Meditation

Lots of people have good things -- but.  Lots of people might be very remarkably used -- but.  Lots of people might soar into wonderful places of divine positions with God -- but.  And it is the "but" that spoils it...
So it is the "but" in the way that is spoiling the best...
[T]he "but" is that you have not really got your own human spirit under control by the divine Spirit, the human is mingled and it is spoiling the divine.

Oh, To Believe God! 2/2 Friday Faith

Oh, to believe God!  Oh, to rest upon what He says, for there is not one jot or tittle of the Word which shall fail till all is fulfilled!  Has He not promised and will He not also perform?  Our blessed Lord of life and glory impressed upon us before He left that He would send the Comforter and when He came He should take the words of Jesus  and He would pray through us and whatsoever we would ask, the Lord would hear us.
