A Life of Power 11/1 All Saints' Day Thursday Thoughts

Oh, for a life of absolute dependence!  It is through a life of dependence there is a life of power.  If you are not there, get alone with God.  If need be, spend a whole night alone with God, and let Him change and transform you.  Never let Him go until He blesses you, until He makes you an Israel, a prince with God.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Absolutely Dependent Upon Him 10/31 Wednesday Wisdom

Oh, the blessedness of being brought into a life of dependence upon the power of the Holy Spirit.  Henceforth we know that we are nothing without Him; we are absolutely dependent upon Him.  I am absolutely nothing without the power and unction of the Holy Ghost.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Get Alone With God 10/30 Tuesday Truth

Oh, how we need to get alone with God, to be broken, to be changed, to be transformed!  And when we do meet with Him, He interposes, and all care and strife are at an end.  Get alone with God and receive the revelation of His infinite grace, and of His wonderful purposes and plans for your life.

--Smith Wigglesworth

His Tender Compassion 10/29 Monday Meditation

Many things may happen in our lives to show us how depraved we are by nature, but when the veil is lifted we see how merciful and tender God is.  His tender compassion is over us all the time.

--Smith Wigglesworth

"I Can Never Be Perfect" 10/26 Friday Faith

Someone says, "I can never be perfect!  It is beyond my furtherest thought."  Just so!  It is!  But as we press on, the Holy Ghost enlightens and we enter in, as Paul says according to the revelation of the Spirit.  I am perfected as I launch out into God by faith, His blood covering my sin, His righteousness covering my unrighteousness, His perfection covering my imperfection.  I am holy and perfect in Him.

Our Full Cupboard 10/25 Thursday Thoughts

Our full cupboard is often our greatest hindrance.  It is when we are empty and undone and come to God in our nothingness and helplessness, He picks us up.

--Smith Wigglesworth

With Him in His Great Plan 10/24 Wednesday Wisdom

God can never do all He wants to do, all that He came to do through the Word, until He gets us to the place where He can trust us, and we are in abiding fellowship with Him in His great plan for the world's redemption.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Out of Ourselves Into Himself 10/23 Tuesday Truth

God has come to lead us out of ourselves into Himself, and to take us from the ordinary into the extraordinary, from the human into the divine, and make us after the image of His Son.  Oh, what a Savior!  What an ideal Savior!

--Smith Wigglesworth

Sit in Heavenly Places 10/22 Monday Meditation

The Word of God comes in to separate us from everything that is not of God.  It destroys.  It also gives life.  He must bring to death all that is carnal in us.  It was after the death of Christ that God raised Him up on high, and as we are dead with Him we are raised up and made to sit in heavenly places in the new life that the Spirit gives.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Finisher and Perfecter of Our Faith 10/19 Friday Faith

He spoke the Word and the stars came into being, can He not speak the Word that will produce a mighty faith in us?  Ah, this One who is the author and finisher of our faith comes and dwells within us, quickens us by His Spirit, and molds us by His will.  He comes to live His life of faith within us and to be to us all that we need.  And He who has begun a good work within us will complete it and perfect it; for He not only is the author but the finisher and perfecter of our faith.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Wonderful Days 10/18 Thursday Thoughts

These are wonderful days -- these days of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  You ask me, "When would you have liked to come to earth?"  My answer is, "Just now.  It suits me beautifully to know that I can be filled with the Holy Spirit, that I can be a temple in which He dwells, and that through this temple there shall be a manifestation of the power of God that will bring glory to His name."

--Smith Wigglesworth

Be a Heavenly People 10/17 Wednesday Wisdom

If you are living an earthly life, all taken up with sensual things, and expect things from heaven, they will never come.  God wants us to be a heavenly people, seated with Him in the heavenlies, and laying hold of all the things in heaven that are at our disposal.

--Smith Wigglesworth

All That You Came For 10/16 Tuesday Truth

Believe that when you come into the presence of God you can have all you came for.  You can take it away; and you can use it, for all the power of God is at your disposal in response to your faith.  The price for all was paid by the blood of Jesus Christ at Calvary.

--Smith Wigglesworth

We Receive Because We Believe 10/15 Monday Meditation

Beloved, we may do much praying and groaning, but we do not receive from God because of that; we receive because we believe.  And yet sometimes it takes God a long time to bring us through the groaning and crying before we can believe.

--Smith Wigglesworth

By Faith 10/11 Thursday Thoughts

I will not be posting a Friday Faith, as I will be on a short vacation.

We read in the Word that by faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain; by faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; by faith Noah prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed (Hebrews 11).  There is only one way to all the treasures of God, and that is the way of faith.  All things are possible, the fulfilling of all promises, to him that believeth.  And it is all by grace.
"...by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. "  Ephesians 2:8

--Smith Wigglesworth

Constant Fellowship 10/10 Wednesday Wisdom

Through a constant fellowship with the Father, through bold faith in the Son, through a mighty unction of the blessed Holy Spirit, there will come a right of way for God to be enthroned in your hearts, purifying us so thoroughly that there is no room for anything but the divine presence within.  And through the manifestation of this presence, the works of Christ and greater works shall be accomplished for the glory of our triune God. 

--Smith Wigglesworth

The Same Anointng 10/9 Tuesday Truth

John further says, "...the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you..." (1 John 2:27).  We have an anointing, the same anointing which Jesus Christ Himself received.  For "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good..." (Acts 10:38).  The same anointing is for us.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Weak and Helpless 10/8 Monday Meditation

How could these weak and helpless fishermen, poor and needy, ignorant and unlearned, do the works of Christ and greater works than He had done?  They were incapable.  None of us is able.  But our emptiness has to be clothed with divine fulness, and our helplessness has to be filled with the power of His helpfulness.  Paul knew this when he gloried in all that brought him down in weakness, for flowing into his weakness came a mighty deluge of divine power.

--Smith Wigglesworth

The Place of Believing 10/5 Friday Faith

God wants to bring us to the place of believing, where, despite all contradictions around, we are strong in faith, giving God glory.  As we fully believe God, He will be glorified, and we will prove a blessing to the whole world as was our father Abraham.

--Smith Wigglesworth

A Plentiful Supply 10/4 Thursday Thoughts

What do you have?  A well of water?  That is good as far as it goes.  But Christ wants to see a plentiful supply of the river of the Holy Ghost flowing through you.

--Smith Wigglesworth

He Knows Your Greatest Need 10/3 Wednesday Wisdom

The Master can give you that which will satisfy.  He has in Himself just what you need at this hour.  He knows your greatest need.  You need the blessed Holy Ghost, not merely to satisfy your thirst, but to satisfy the needs of thirsty ones everywhere; for as the blessed Holy Spirit flows through you like rivers of living water, these floods will break what needs to be broken, they will bring to death that which should be brought to death, but they will bring life and fruitage where there is none.

--Smith Wigglesworth

Our God Is an Active God 10/2 Tuesday Truth

Our God is an active God.  His thunder is just as loud today as it was in the first century.  His lightning is just as vivid as it was in the days of the early church.  The sound of the mighty rushing wind is just the same today as it was on the day of the Pentecost.  Pray for the violent blasts of wind from heaven, expect them, and you will get them.  And do not be afraid of them.
