Having completed the Smith Wigglesworth quotes, today we begin quotes by A.B. Simpson, the founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. "Lep's Faith Quotes" features quotes from "Pentecostal Pioneers" which one would not encounter in their usual daily devotional readings. In the early days of The C&MA [Alliance], Simpson was closely allied with the Pentecostals, he traded pulpits with them, and he is considered a forefather of the Word of Faith movement. In his later years, Simpson disassociated himself with the Pentecostals and the direction of the C&MA changed.
Christ promised the signs, and they followed as long as Christians continued to believe and expect them. It is important to observe Young's translation of verse 17 [Mark 16:17]: "Signs shall follow them that believe these things." The signs shall correspond to the extent of their faith.
By such mighty "signs and wonders" the church was established in Jerusalem, Samaria and unto the uttermost parts of the earth. The unbelief of the world needs these signs today as much as in the apostolic times.
