No Such Thing As Defeat 12/31 Thursday Thoughts

Have a blessed new year, friends. This will be the last post of the year. There is no such thing as defeat for the believer. Without the cross, without Christ's righteousness, without the new birth, without the indwelling Christ, without this divine incoming of God, I see myself a failure. But God, the Holy Ghost, can come in and take our place till we are renewed in righteousness -- made the children of God. Nay, verily, the sons of God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

One of My Favorite Quotes 12/30 Wednesday Wisdom

The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is because Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with weekly meetings and occasionally reading the Bible, and sometimes praying. Beloved, it God has hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything and a beginning of God, so that your whole body becomes seasoned with a divine likeness of God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

How Satan Gets An Opening 12/28 Monday Meditation

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. Remember that Lep's Faith Quotes will not be on a regular schedule this week. Before Satan can bring his evil spirits, there has to be an open door... How does Satan get an opening? When the saint ceases to seek after holiness, purity, righteousness, truth; when he ceases to pray, stops reading the Word and gives way to carnal appetites. Then it is that Satan comes. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Such a Perfect Savior 12/24 Thursday Thoughts

This will be my last quote before Christmas. The schedule for quotes next week will be irregular. I wish you a blessed celebration of the Incarnation! He was so lovely, such a perfect Savior -- Oh, that I could shout "Jesus" tonight in such a way that the world would hear. There is salvation, life, power and deliverance through that name... -- Smith Wigglesworth

Where Our Gaze Is Fixed 12/23 Wednesday Wisdom

As we think about that which is pure, we become pure. As we think about that which is holy, we become holy. And as we think about our Lord Jesus Christ, we become like Him. We are changed into the likeness of the object on which our gaze is fixed. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Perfect Peace 12/22 Tuesday Truth

There is a life of perfect deliverance, and this is where God wants you to be. If I find my peace is disturbed on any line, I know it is the enemy who is trying to work. How do I know this?

Call Upon His Name Right Now 12/21 Monday Meditation

God is compassionate and says, "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found..." (Isaiah 55:6).

Seek Him now, call on His name right now, and there is forgiveness, healing, redemption, deliverance, and everything you need for you right here and now, and that which will satisfy you throughout eternity. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Your Thought Life 12/18 Friday Faith

The devil knows that if he can capture your thought life, he has won a mighty victory over you. His great business is injecting thoughts, but if you are pure and holy you will instantly shrink from them. God wants us to let the mind that in Christ Jesus, that pure, holy, humble mind of Christ, be in us. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Power for Us 12/17 Thursday Thoughts

And before He went to the glory, He told His disciples that they should receive the power of the Holy Ghost upon them, too. Thus, through them, His gracious ministry would continue. This power of the Holy Ghost was not only for a few apostles, but even for them that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God should call (Acts 2:39), even for us away down in the twentieth century. Some ask, "But was not this power just for the privileged few in the first century?" No. Read the Master's great commission as recorded by Mark [16] and you will see it is for them who believe. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Take Your Position 12/16 Wednesday Wisdom

Take your position in the first epistle of John and declare, "...greater is he that is in [me], than he that is in the world" (I John 4:4). Then recognize that it is not yourself that has to deal with the power of the devil but the Greater One that is in you. Oh, what it means to be filled with Him. You can do nothing of yourself, but He that is in you will win the victory. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Right Time 12/15 Tuesday Truth

If you seek nothing but the will of God, He will always put you in the right place at the right time. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Above Par All the Time 12/14 Monday Meditation

Yes, there is a power, a blessing, an assurance, a rest in the presence of the Holy Ghost. You can feel His presence and know that He is with you. You need not spend an hour without this inner knowledge of His holy presence. With His power upon you there can be no failure. You are above par all the time. --Smith Wigglesworth

Ever Hungry 12/11 Friday Faith

Knowledge of God Laid Up for Us 12/10 Thursday Thoughts

God has never put anything over on a pole where you could not reach it.  He has brought His plan down to man, and if we are prepared this morning, oh, what there is for us!  I feel sometimes we have just as much as we can digest, yet there are such divine nuggets of precious truth held before our hearts, it makes you understand that there are yet heights, and depths, and lengths, and breadths of the knowledge of God laid up for us.  We might truly say,

"My heavenly bank, my heavenly bank,  / The house of God's treasure and store.  / I have plenty in here; I'm a real millionaire."

-- Smith Wigglesworth

Shall Be Filled 12/7 Monday Meditation

 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled" (Matthew 5:6).  Note that word, "shall be filled."  If you ever see a "shall" in the Bible, make it yours.  Meet the conditions and God will fulfill His Word to you.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

Let Him Reign Supreme 12/4 Friday Faith

I can remember the time when I used to go white with rage, and shake all over with temper.  I could hardly hold myself together.  I waited on God for ten days.  In those ten day I was being emptied out and the life of the Lord Jesus was being wrought into me.  My wife testified of the transformation that took place in my life. "I never saw such a change.  I have never been able to cook anything since that time that has not pleased him.  Nothing is too hot or too cold, everything is just right."  God must come and reign supreme in your life.  Will you let Him do it?  He can do it, and He will if you will let Him.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

Laugh When Things Get Worse 12/3 Thursday Thoughts

If you are sure of your ground, if you are counting on the presence of the living Christ within, you can laugh when you see things getting worse.  God would have you settled and grounded in Christ, and you become steadfast and unmoveable in Him.

-- Smith Wigglesworth

Every Trial 12/2 Tuesday Truths

Every trial is to bring you to a greater position in God.  The trial that tries your faith will take you on to the place where you will know that the faith of God will be forthcoming in the next.  No man is able to win any victory save through the power of the risen Christ within him.  You will never be able to say, "I did this or that."  You will desire to give God the glory for everything.
