It took nine months to bring us forth into the world after we were conceived, but it only takes one moment to beget us as sons.

Daily (M-F) quotes from Pentecostal pioneers whom the modern Christian is unlikely to come across in contemporary devotional reading.

If you ever stop at any point, pick up at the place where you failed, and begin again under the refining light, and power and zeal of heaven and all things will be brought to you, for He will... meet you.
Remember, beloved, it is not what you are but what God wants you to be... Every new revelation brings a new dedication.
Let us seek Him.

God has no room for an ordinary man. God wants to take the ordinary man and put him through the sieve and bring him out into a place of extraordinary faith... The great plan of God is to satisfy you, and then give you the vision of something higher.

This is my 2400th post on lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com, although I have been posting since 2005, long before I started using Blogspot. I currently post in five locations.
God will do great things for us if we are prepared to receive them from Him. We are dull of comprehension because we let the cares of this world blind our eyes, but if we keep open to God, He has a greater plan for us in the future than we have seen or ever have dreamed about in the past.

Every trial is to prepare your for a greater position for God. Your tried faith will make you know that you will have the faith of God to go through the next trial. Who is going to live dormant, weak, trifling, slow, indolent, prayerless, Bible-less lives when you know you must go through these things? And if you are to be made perfect in weakness, you must be tried as by fire in order to know that no man is able to win a victory, only by the power of God in him.

I believe there are people here who will be put in the place where they will have to stand upon God's Word. You will be sifted as wheat. You will be tried as though some strange thing happened unto you. You will be put in most difficult places where all hell seems round about you, but God will sustain and empower you, and bring you into an unlimited place of faith.

Oh, what a Savior; what a place we are in, by grace, that He may come in to commune with us. He is willing to say to every heart, "Peace, be still," and to every weak body, "Be strong."
Are you going halfway; or are you going right to the end? Be not today deceived by Satan, but believe God.

May God save me from ever wanting anything less than a flood. I will not stoop for small things when I have such a big God. Through the blood of Christ's atonement we may have riches and riches. We need the warming atmosphere of the Spirit's power to bring us closer and closer until nothing but God can satisfy, and then we may have some idea of what God has left after we have taken all we can. It is only like a sparrow taking a drink of the ocean and then looking around and saying, "What a vast ocean! What a lot more I could have taken if I had only had room."
-- Smith Wigglesworth
Do not listen to what Satan says to you, for the devil is a liar from the beginning. If people would only listen to the truth of God they would find out they were over the devil, over all satanic forces, they would realize that every evil spirit was subject to them; they would find out that they were always in the place of triumph, and they would "reign in life" by King Jesus.

God wants you today to be like a watered garden, filled with the fragrance of His own heavenly joy, till you know at last that you have touched immensity. The Son of God came for no other purpose than to lift and lift, and mold and fashion and remold, until we are just after His mind.
-- Smith Wigglesworth
Some people only come with a very small thought concerning God's fulness, and a lot of people are satisfied with a thimbleful, and you can just imagine God saying, "Oh, if they only knew how much they could take away!" Other people come with a larger vessel, and they go away satisfied, but you can feel how much God is longing for us to have such a desire for more, such a longing as only God Himself can satisfy.

Enter into the promises of God. It is your inheritance. You will do more in one year if you are really filled with the Holy Ghost than you could do in fifty years apart from him. I pray that you may be so filled with Him that it will not be possible for your to move without a revival of some kind resulting.

"My heavenly Bank, my Heavenly Bank,
The House of God's treasure and store;
I have plenty up there -- I'm a real millionaire,
And I will go poor no more."

Beloved, we should recognize that our prayers are in vain unless we really expect what we ask to be granted to us.

The devil brings back to people's minds those things which they did so long ago, and there they are, thinking about them day and night! There are two things certain, and a third thing which is more valuable than either of the two. One is that you never forget them, and the third is that God has forgotten them. The question is whether we are going to believe God, or the devil, or ourselves. God says they are passed, cleansed, gone!

God wants to make us on fire in the Spirit, speaking burning words. He wants to make all that a man has so prophetic in all its bearings that he will always speak as an oracle of God. There ought to be something within him that shines through him with a vital power that makes men know he has seen God, and they feel God has come into their midst.
-- Smith Wigglesworth
God has not given us a pattern which it would be impossible to copy. Beloved, He hated sin... If I have hatred for sin, I have something which is worth millions of pounds. Oh, the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Beloved, I feel somehow that this is the hope of the church for the future -- being purified, made like unto Jesus, pure in heart, pure in thought.
