Power in Dependence 2/1 Tuesday Truth

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... -- Smith Wigglesworth

Dependence Upon the Holy Spirit 1/31 Monday Meditation

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

The Children's Bread 1/28 Friday Faith

Jesus said to the woman, "Can we take of the children's bread and give it to the dogs." Children of God have bread, it is the life of Jesus. Jesus has all the bread you want, for spirit, soul, and body. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Anything That Takes Me . . . 1/27 Thursday Thoughts

Anything that takes me from a position where I am in an attitude of worship, of peace, of joy, of a consciousness of the presence of God, of an inward moving of the powers of God that makes me able to lift myself up and live in the world as though I was not of it (because I am not of it); anything that dethrones me from that attitude is evil, is Satan. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Sons of God With Power 1/26 Wednesday Wisdom

Therefore, beloved, if you will hear the truth of the Gospel, you will see that God has made provision for you to be strong, to be on fire, to be as though you were quickened from the dead, as those who have seen the King, as those who have a resurrection touch. We know we are the sons of God with power as we believe His Word and stand in the truth of His Word. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Yield and Submit 1/25 Tuesday Truth

Only one thing is going to accomplish the purpose of God -- that is, to be filled with the Spirit we must yield and submit, until our bodies are saturated with God, that at any moment God's will can be revealed. We want a great hunger and thirst for God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Perfect Peace 1/24 Monday Meditation

He will keep you in perfect peace as you stay your mind upon Him and trust in Him. He will bring you to a rest of faith, to a place of blessed assurance that all that happens is working for your eternal good. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Needy Places 1/21 Friday Faith

You say, "I am in a needy place." It is in needy places that God delights to work. For three days the people that were with Christ were without food, and He asked Philip, "From whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?" That was a hard place for Philip, but not for Jesus, for He knew perfectly what He would do. The hard place is where He delights to show forth His miraculous power. And how fully was the need provided for. Bread enough and to spare! -- Smith Wigglesworth

There When You Need Him 1/20 Thursday Thoughts

The resurrected Christ appeared to Peter and a few more of them early one morning on the shore of the lake. He prepared a meal for the tired, tried disciples. This is just like Him. Count on His presence. Count on His power. Count on His provision. He is always there just when you need Him. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Be Shining Lights 1/19 Wednesday Wisdom

The need in the world today is that we should be burning and shining lights to reflect the glory of Christ. We cannot do it with a cold indifferent experience, and we never shall. His servants are to be flames of fire. Christ came that we might have life, and life more abundantly. And we are to give that life to others, to be ministers of the life and power and healing virtue of Jesus Christ wherever we go. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Realize Your Spiritual Authority 1/18 Tuesday Truth

I was traveling from Egypt to Italy. God was wonderfully on that ship with me, and every hour I was conscious of His blessed presence. A man on the ship suddenly collapsed and his wife was terribly alarmed, and everybody else seemed to be. Some said that he was about to expire. But I saw it was just a glorious opportunity for the power of God to be manifested. . . So right there on board that ship, in the name of Jesus I rebuked the devil, and to the astonishment of the man's wife and the man himself, he was able to stand. He said, "What is this? It is going all over me. I have never felt anything like this before." From the top of his head to the soles of his feet the power of God shook him. God has given us authority over all the power of the devil. Oh, that we may live in the place where we realize this always! -- Smith Wigglesworth

When the Holy Ghost Comes 1/17 Monday Meditation

I realize that when the Holy Ghost comes, He comes to enable us to show forth Jesus Christ in all His glory, to make Him known as the One who heals today as in the days of old. The baptism in the Spirit is to enable us to preach as they did at the beginning, through the power of the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven and with the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit. Oh, if we would only let the Lord work in us, melting us until a new order arises, moved with His compassion. -- Smith Wigglesworth

No Limit to Power and Blessing 1/14 Friday Faith

There is more for us all yet, praise the Lord. This is only the beginning. So far we have only touched on the fringe of things. There is so much more for us if we will but yield to God. . . I am a father and I want to give my boys the very best. We human fathers are but finite, but our heavenly Father is infinite. There is no limit to the power and blessing He has laid up for them that love Him. Be filled with the Spirit. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Having Your "I" Knocked Out 1/13 Thursday Thoughts

Someone has said that you are no good until you have your "I" knocked out. Christ must reign within, and the life in the Holy Ghost means at all times the subjection of your own will to make way for the working out of the good and acceptable and perfect will of God within. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Have the Mind of Christ 1/12 Wednesday Wisdom

The Lord wants all saved people to receive power from on High -- power to witness, power to act, power to live, and power to show forth the divine manifestation of God within. The power of God will take you out of your own plans and put you into the plan of God. You will be unmantled [dismantled] and divested of that which is purely of yourself and put into a divine order. The Lord will change you and put His mind where yours was, and thus enable you to have the mind of Christ. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Spirit of Compassion 1/12 Tuesday Truth

How we have sinned against God! How we lack this spirit of compassion. Do we weep as we look forth upon the unsaved? ... Jesus was moved with compassion. Are you? -- Smith Wigglesworth

What Is Repentance? 1/10 Monday Meditation

Where is the fault for the state of things we see today? The lack of a deep spirit of repentance. Weeping is not repentance, sorrow is not repentance. Repentance is a turning away and doing the work of righteousness and holiness. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Strength of Song 1/7 Friday Faith

The strength of a life is the strength of its song. When the pressure is heavy that is the time to sing... It takes a man to sing in the dark when the storm and battle are raging, and it is such singing that makes the man. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Praise is God's Sunshine 1/6 Thursday Thoughts

Praise is God's sunlight in the heart. It destroys sin germs. It ripens the fruits of the Spirit. It is the oil of gladness that lubricates life's activities. There can be no holy life without it. It keeps the heart pure and the eye clear. Praise is essential to the knowledge of God and His will. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Pure Gold 1/5 Wednesday Wisdom

And if you are really reconstructed it will be in a hard time -- it won't be in a singing meeting, but at a time when you think all things are dried up, when you think there is no hope for you, and you have passed everything, then that is the time that God makes the man, when tried by fire that God purges you, takes the dross away and brings forth the pure gold. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Hard Times 1/4 Tuesday Truth

Beloved, if you read the Scriptures you will never find anything about the easy times. All the glories came out of hard times. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Begotten Sons 1/3 Monday Meditation

This begins my 17th year of daily (M-F) posts. It started with a small group of friends whom I invited to receive emails. That email group continues with many changes over the years. I also post my quotes on a blogsite, on my Facebook page, and in four Facebook groups. 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. The first formation was a long period of nine months. The second formation is a moment, is an act, is a faith, for "He that believeth hath [eternal life]." And as you receive Him, you are begotten, not made. -- Smith Wigglesworth
