The Place Was Shaken 10/1 Monday Meditation

And the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and all were filled afresh with the Holy Ghost.  Pentecost repeated!  Manifestations again!  All filled -- mouths and all! "And they spake the Word of God with" - what?  hesitation, moderation, timidity?  No... "They spake the Word of God with boldness."  And the signs and wonders increased.  They never resented the first manifestations on their body on the day of Pentecost, and they prayed and received the second experience -- building and all.  Even the place was shaken this time.  [Acts 4:29-30]

Not Made to be a Failure 9/28 Friday Faith

Do you think that God will make you to be a failure?  God never made man to be a failure.  He made man to be a son, to walk the earth in the power of the Spirit, master over the flesh and the devil, until nothing arises within him except that which will magnify and glorify the Lord.

God Can Make You an Overcomer 9/27 Thursday Thougths

God can make you an overcomer.  When the Spirit of God comes into your surrendered being He transforms you.  There is a life in the Spirit that makes you free and there is an audacity about it, and there is a personality in it -- it is God in you.

Lifeless and Powerless 9/26 Wednesday Wisdom

It is an awful thing for me to see people who profess to be Christians lifeless and powerless.  The place of holy communion [prayer] is open to us all.  There is a place where we can be daily refreshed and renewed and reempowered.

Satisfied With Going to Church 9/25 Tuesday Truth

The reason the world today is not seeing this is because Christian people are not filled with the Spirit of Christ.  They are satisfied with going to church, 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 to everything in the old life.  All the old things will have passed away, and all things will have become new -- all things are of God.  You will see that as you are wholly yielded to God, your whole being will be transformed by the Spirit's indwelling.  He will take you in hand so that you may become a vessel unto honor.

Immersed in the Life of God 9/24 Monday Meditation

There is a necessity for every one of us to be filled with the Spirit of God.  It is not sufficient just to have a touch or to have usually a little.  There is only one thing that will meet the needs of the people today, and that is to be immersed in the life of God --- God filling you with His Spirit, then you live right in God and God lives in you so whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, it shall be all for the glory of God.

God's Pure Gold 9/21 Friday Faith

And if you are really reconstructed it will be in a hard time -- it won't be in a singing meeting, but at a time when you think all things are dried up, when you think there is no hope for you, and you have passed everything, then that is the time that God makes the man, when tried by fired that God purges you, takes the dross away and brings forth the pure gold.  Only melted gold is minted.  Only moistened clay receives the mold.  Only soft wax receives the seal.  Only broken, contrite hearts receive the mark as the potter turns us on his wheel, shaped and burnt to take and keep the heavenly mold, the stamp of God's pure gold.

Many Wonderful Treasures 9/20 Thursday Thoughts

You know, beloved, that there are many wonderful treasures in the storehouse of God that we have not yet gotten.  But praise God, we have the promise in Corinthians:

...Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.   I Corinthians 2:9

The Hardest Way Is the Best Way 9/19 Wednesday Wisdom

The hardest way is the best way; you never hear anything about the person who is always having an easy time.  The preachers always tell of how Moses crossed the Red Sea when he was at wit's end.  I cannot find the record of anyone in the Scriptures whom God used who was not first tried.

Saved to Save Others 9/18 Tuesday Truth

Don't you know that the only purpose for which God saved you was that you might be a saviour of others?  And for you to think that you have to remain stationary and just get to heaven is a great mistake.  The baptism [of the Holy Spirit] is to make you a witness for Jesus.

--Smith Wigglesworth

No Idea of the Greatness of the Power 9/17 Monday Meditation

We have a wonderful salvation that fits everybody.  I believe that a baptized [in the Holy Spirit] person has no conception of the power God has given him until he uses what he has.  I maintain that Peter and John had no idea of the greatness of the power they had but they began to speculate.  They said, "Well, as far as money goes, we have none of that, but we do have something; we don't exactly know what it is, but we shall try it on you, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, rise up and walk," and it worked.  In order to make yourself realize what you have in your possession you will have to try it, and I can assure you it will work all right.

Life More Abundant 9/11 Tuesday Truth

But Jesus was sent to bear the infirmities and the afflictions of the people and to destroy the works of the devil.  He said that the thief (which is the devil) cometh to steal and to kill and to destroy, "...I am come that they might have life, and... have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).  I maintain that God wishes all His people to have the life more abundant.  We have the remedy for all sickness in the Word of God!  Jesus paid the full price and the full redemption for every need, and where sin abounds, grace can come in and much more abound, and dispel all the sickness.

No Room to Boast 9/10 Monday Meditation

There is no room for anyone to boast, and the man who goes about saying, "Look at me for I am somebody," is of no value whatever.  God is done with that man altogether.  He will have a people to glorify Him...  He has to grind us many times to get us where He can use us.

The Mind of the Spirit 9/7 Friday Faith

I believe we ought to be in the place where we shall always be able to understand the mind of the Spirit amid all the other voices in the world.

The Power of the Holy Ghost 9/6 Thursday Thoughts

In Acts 1:8 we read:  "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..."
Oh, the power of the Holy Ghost!  The power that quickens, that reveals, and prevails!  I love to think that Jesus wanted all His people to have power, that He wanted all men to be overcomers.  Nothing but this power will do it.  Power over sin, power over sickness, power over the devil, power over all the powers of the devil!

No Idea of What God Has For Us! 9/5 Wednesday Wisdom

(continuing from Tuesday)

In a place in England I was dealing on the lines of faith and what would take place if we believed God.  Many things happened... It appeared one man who worked in the colliery [coal mines] had heard me.  He was in trouble with a stiff knee.  He said to his wife, "I cannot help but think every day that that message of Wigglesworth's was to stir us to do something.  I cannot get away from it.  All the men in the pit know how I walk with a stiff knee, and you know how you have wrapped it around with yards of flannel.  Well, I am going to act.  You have to be the congregation."  He got his wife in front of him.  "I am going to act and do just as Wigglesworth did."  He got hold of his leg unmercifully, saying, "Come out, you devils, come out!  In the name of Jesus.  Now, Jesus, help me.  Come out, you devils, come out."  Then he said, "Wife, they are gone!  Wife, they are gone.  This is too good.  I am going to act now."  So he went to his place of worship and all the collier boys were there.  It was a prayer meeting.  As he told them this story these men became delighted.  They said, "Jack, come over here and help me."  And Jack went.  As soon as he was through in one home he was invited to another, loosing these people of the pains they had gotten in the colliery.
Ah, brothers and sisters, we have no idea what God has for us if we will only begin!

When Will You Begin? 9/4 Tuesday Truth

God wants manifestation and He wants His glory to be seen.  He wants us all to be filled with that line of thought that He can look upon us and delight in us subduing the world unto Him.  And so you are going to miss a great deal if you don't begin to act.  But once you begin to act in the order of God, you will find that God establishes your faith and from that day starts you on the line of the promises.  When will you begin?  (to be continued)

Divine Flow of Eternal Power 9/3 Monday Meditation

I am very interested in scenery.  When I was in Switzerland I wouldn't be satisfied till I went to the top of the mountain, though I like the valleys also.  On the summit of the mountain the sun beats on the snow and sends the water trickling down the mountains right through to the meadows.  Go there and see if you can stop it.  Just so in the spiritual.  God begins with the divine flow of His eternal power which is the Holy Ghost, and you cannot stop it.
