Beloved, even with all the faith we have, we are not even so much as touching the hem of God's plan for us. It is like going to the seashore and dipping your toe in the water, with the great vast ocean before you. God wants us to rise on the bosom of the tide, and not keep paddling along the shore. Oh to be connected with that sublime power, that human nature may know God and the glory of the manifestation of Christ!

Active Faith 7/31 Tuesday Truth
The Acts of the Apostles were written because the lives of the apostles bore the fruit of active faith. To them faith was an every-day-fact. If your life is in the divine order, you will not only have living, active faith but you will always be building up someone else in faith.

God Has So Changed You 7/30 Monday Meditation
I would not have you miss the knowledge that you have heard from God, and to realize that God has so changed you that all weakness, fear, inability -- everything that has made you a failure, has passed away. Faith has power to make you what God wants you to be, only you must be ready to step into the plan and believe His Word.

Faith Is the Glorious Knowledge 7/26 Thursday Thoughts
Faith is the glorious knowledge of a personal presence within you, changing you from strength to strength, from glory to glory, until you get to the place where you walk with God, and God thinks and speaks through you by the power of the Holy Ghost. Oh, is is grand, it is glorious!

What Is Faith? 7/25 Wednesday Wisdom
What is faith? It is the very nature of God. Faith is the Word of God. It is the personal inward flow of divine favor, which moves in every fiber of our being until our whole nature is so quickened that we live by faith, we move by faith, and we are going to be caught up to glory by faith, for "Faith is the Victory!"

Do Not Resist Him 7/24 Tuesday Truth
Beloved, if there is anything in your life that in any way resists the power of the Holy Ghost and the entrance of His Word into your heart and life, drop on your knees and CRY ALOUD for mercy! When the Spirit of God is brooding over your heart's door, do not resist Him but open your heart to the touch of God. There is a resting... against sin, and there is a resisting of the Holy Ghost that will drive you into sin.

Do Not Be Ordinary! 7/23 Monday Meditation
Once again I come in my book of complete sermons of Smith Wigglesworth to MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE QUOTE, which I repeat every couple years:
God has privileged us in Christ Jesus to live above the ordinary human plane of life. Those who want to be ordinary, and live on a lower plane, can do so; but as for me, I will not! For the same unction, the same zeal, the same Holy Ghost power is at our command as was at the command of Stephen and the apostles. We have the same God that Abraham had, that Elijah had, and we need not come behind in any gift or grace.

Be On Fire For Him 7/20 Friday Faith
Nothing of the past is equal to the present, and nothing of the present can equal the things of tomorrow, for "tomorrow" should be so filled with holy expectations that we will be "living flames" for Him. God never intended His people to be ordinary, or commonplace; His intentions were that they should be on fire for Him, conscious of His divine power, realizing the glory of the cross that foreshadows the crown.

Press On 7/19 Thursday Thoughts
Not a weapon that is formed against you can prosper... 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. The peace which passeth all understanding.

From Glory to Glory 7/18 Wednesday Wisdom
There is no stop in the Spirit-filled life: we begin at the cross... and, being filled with Holy Spirit, we go on "from glory to glory." Let us not forget that possessing the baptism in the Holy Spirit means there must be an "ever-increasing" holiness. How the church needs divine unction -- God's presence and power so manifest that the world will know it.

Every Trial Is a Lift 7/17 Tuesday Truth
Every trial is a lift -- every burden a place of exchanging strength. God will work. "Who can lay any thing 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" (I Corinthians 2:9).

Weakness Made Strong 7/16 Monday Meditation
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.

When the Holy Ghost Comes In 7/13 Friday Faith
Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? Jesus is king over your desires -- no man can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Ghost. 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.

Light Shine Forth 7/12 Thursday Thoughts
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."

Seasoned With Salt 7/11 Wednesday Wisdom
"Let your speech be always 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.

He Is a Rewarder 7/9 Monday Meditation

Faith Is an Inward Mover 7/4 Wednesday Wisdom
THIS WILL BE THE LAST POST OF THE WEEK DUE TO THE HOLIDAY, HAVING COMPANY, AND A DAY TRIP
What would happen to us and to the need of the world if we would get to the place where we could believe God? May God give the desire. Faith is a tremendous power, an inward mover. We have not seen yet all that God has for us.

God Wants Us to Move Mountains 7/3 Tuesday Truth
God wants us to move mountains, anything that appears to be like a mountain can be moved. The mountains of difficulty, the mountains of perplexity, the mountains of depression or depravity. Things that bound you for years. Sometimes things appear as though they could not be moved, but you believe in your heart, stand on the Word of God, and God's Word will never be defeated.

Divine Power 7/2 Monday Meditation
God wants to purify our minds until we can bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things. God dwells in you, but you cannot have this divine power until you live and walk in the Holy Ghost, until the power of the new life is greater than the old life.
