To Be Free 12/31 Friday Faith

May God bless you with a wonderful new year! And if you don't have a daily Bible reading or devotional habit, search for one that fits you that you can commit to daily. I suggest Our Daily Bread at https://5dailydevotional.com/category/our-daily-bread-devotional/, todayintheword.org, or americanbible.org. Evil spirits have no more control, if I believe that God is, and I do, I do. I know I am free from all the powers of darkness, from all the powers of evil, and it is a wonderful thing to be free, and because you are free you step into the liberty of freed men and claim the possessions of God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Hardest Way 12/30 Thursday Thoughts

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. -- Smith Wigglesworth

What a Wonderful Jesus 12/23 Thursday Thoughts

What a wonderful Jesus we have. Something about Him kindles fire in the darkest place. Something about our Lord makes all darkness light. God's Son is for all our human nature, and when we have Him we have more than we can speak about and think about. God's Son can set the world ablaze and bring heaven right into the place where we live. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Storehouse of God 12/22 Wednesday Wisdom

I will not be posting between Thursday, December 23, and Wed. or Thurs., Dec. 28 or 29. Have a wonderful Jesus-filled holiday! 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). -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Plan of God 12/21 Tuesday Truth

I will not be posting between Thursday, December 23, and Wed. or Thurs., Dec. 28 or 29. Have a wonderful Jesus-filled holiday! 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 is doing what He can with what He has, but we are so unwilling to move in the plan of God that He has to grind us many times to get us where He can use us. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Mind of the Spirit 12/20 Monday Meditation

Smith Wigglesworth and the others whom I have quoted were all traveling healing evangelists. They did not pastor churches. Therefore, there are no Christmas sermons from which to quote. 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. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Swiss Mountain Streams 12/17 Friday Faith

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 mountain right through 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. We must always clearly see that the baptism with the Spirit must make us ministering spirits. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Quenching the Power of God 12/15 Thursday Thoughts

Any assembly [church congregation] that puts its hand on the working of the Spirit will surely dry up. The assembly must be as free in the Spirit as possible, and you must allow a certain amount of extravagance when people are getting through to God. Unless we are very wise, we can easily interfere and quench the power of God which is upon us. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Burning Hearts 12/15 Wednesday Wisdom

If the saints only knew how precious they are in the sight of God they would scarcely be able to sleep for thinking of His watchful, loving care. Oh, He is a precious Jesus! He is a lovely Savior! He is divine in all His attitude toward us, and makes our hearts to burn. There is nothing like it. "Oh," they said on the road to Emmaus, "did not our hearts burn within us, as He walked with us and talked with us?" (Luke 24:32). Oh beloved, it must be so today. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Every Day Some Miracle 12/14 Tuesday Truth

Live every day in the Acts of the Apostles and you will see every day some miracle wrought by the power of the living God. It comes right to the threshold and God brings everything along to you. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Dare the Impossible 12/13 Monday Meditation

If you do not venture, you remain ordinary as long as you live. If you dare the impossible then God will abundantly do far more than you can ask or think. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Things That Are Not 12/10 Friday Faith

The elders always had a good report because of faith, and if devastating winds blow, it does not matter. The men of faith are not moved by anything they see or hear. The man of faith does not live in time. He has begun in eternity. He does not count on the thing that are; HE RELIES ON THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Prayer Prevents Growing Cold 12/8 Wednesday Wisdom

I will not be posting Thursday Thoughts this week. Prayer is a personal, intimate interaction with God. Through His Holy Ruach (Spirit), prayer gives God the opportunity to speak into our lives and supernaturally encourage and strengthen us. As Yeshua Himself indicates in this verse, prayer acts as a protection against the possibility that we become cold to Him and fall away. Prayer strengthens our ability to be faithful to God. Truly, regular prayer and the reading of God’s Word are the pillars of a successful life-long relationship with God. -- Joel Chernoff, Messianic composer / singer, secretary of Messianic Jewish Alliance of America

A Million Times Greater Than You 12/7 Tuesday Truth

God gives us this remarkable substance that is called faith. It consists of the Word of God, of the personality of God, of the nature of God, and the acts of God, and those four things are all in faith. Faith is a deep reality caused by God's personality waking up our humanity to leap into eternal things and be lost forever in something a million times greater than yourself. To be possessed by and be the possessor of something a miliion times greater than you! -- Smith Wigglesworth

Faith Never Feels or Looks 12/6 Monday Meditation

Now God does not want anybody in the world, under any circumstances, to be in a place where they live on eyesight and on feelings. Faith never feels and faith never looks. Faith is an act, and faith without an act is not faith, but doubt and disgrace. Every one of you has more faith than you are using. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Nothing Small About God 12/3 Friday Faith

God has drawn us together and He has something to give us. He is not ordinary, but extraordinary; not measured, but immeasurable, abounding in everything. There is nothing small about our God, and when we understand God we will find out that there ought not to be anything small about us. -- Smith Wigglesworth

There Is No Stop 12/2 Thursday Thoughts

The Christian life is a going on, a non-stop, until you reach the top. If you ever stop between Calvary and the glory, it is you who blocked the way. There is no stop between Calvary and the glory except by human failure, but if you allow God to have His way, He will surely transform us, for His plan is to change us from what we are to what He intends us to be, and never to lose the ideal of His great plan for us. -- Smith Wigglesworth
