The Same Power 4/29 Friday Faith

You see, Christ's will and our wills come together with the same desire to glorify the Father. The Spirit of Christ prompts us to ask for great things so that the Lord will have a chance to let down His "right hand of power" (Matth. 26:64) and let the people see the visible signs of the "Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion" (Isa. 8:18). Every one of us ought to be anointed with the same power and gifts that God has given to the church, so that the world may believe that the Father has sent Christ into the world and that the Father has loved us as He has loved Christ (John 17:23). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Greater Faith 4/28 Thursday Thoughts

The Lord shows us that we must have the righteousness of Christ, meet every other condition, and ask the Lord for what we want, in faith, without wavering. If we waver or doubt, we should not expect anything for God will not hear us. [See James 1:5-7]. God will answer the prayer of faith, even if He has to bring all heaven down, in order to prompt us to greater faith to ask the Lord for greater things. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Send for the Elders 4/27 Wednesday Wisdom

He delivered this doctrine of divine healing of the body to be taught and practiced in every church, so that each member would know his privilege and duty to God. If he were sick, instead of sending only for a doctor, perhaps a non-Christian doctor, he should send at once for the elders and let God glorify Himself by manifesting the healing power in raising him up. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

The Spirit Gives Life 4/26 Tuesday Truth

With man's wisdom, you can only learn historical knowledge and the dead letter that kills (2 Cor. 3:6) and condemns. However, the Spirit gives life (v. 6) and power. He takes into our hearts and minds thoughts from our loving Father who says He will reveal His secrets to His sons. Jesus and the Father will come in and abide with us; they will manifest themselves to us. --Maria Woodworth-Etter

Sent Into the World 4/25 Monday Meditation

As God sent Jesus into the world to deliver His messages, so Jesus sends us into the world as His ministers to preach the Gospel faithfully. Woe to us if we do not preach the whole truth or are ashamed or offended at any of His mighty works. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

When Jesus Comes 4/22 Friday Faith

When Jesus comes, will He be ashamed of us? The wicked will be completely ignored and banished from the Lord and from His glorious presence forever, because they were ashamed of Christ or of His words or of His supernatural and divine power or of the works of the Spirit, which are foolishness to the world and to the natural man. Will you miss all this for a high position or a high salary or a social position or to please the people? Oh, what will you do on that Day? -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

God Is Calling 4/20 Thursday Thoughts

God is calling as never before, in thunder tones, to those who pretend to preach His Word: "Blow the trumpet in Zion" and "Sound an alarm in the Holy Mountain" (Joel 2:1). Let all the people tremble. What is the signal to make the people tremble? The Day of the Lord is at hand. It is even at your doors. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

When Jesus Comes in Glory

Jesus said what He will do when He comes in all His glory. Yes, He is coming soon. This is the time of the end; we see the signs everywhere. In this "wicked and adulterous generation" (Matt. 16:4), in these last days, the churches have gone after the wisdom and power of men, instead of the wisdom and power of God. "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away" (2 Tim. 3:5). -- Maria Woodworth - Etter

Power in the Name 4/19 Tuesday Truth

The raging storm on the Sea of Galilee was hushed at His word, and the raging sea became as a sea of glass. The words of God spoken by the Holy Spirit have the same effect today. There is so much power in the name of Jesus today as in New Testament times. Through the Holy Spirit, His words come like coals of fire, burning through the minds and hearts of men. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Made Like His Glorious Body 4/18 Monday Meditation

We now bear the image of Adam, the first man, but our fleshly bodies will be changed and made "like unto his glorious body" (Phil.3:21). Our mortal bodies will be changed into immortal bodies (I Cor. 15:53-54). In the same body He had before His crucifixion, Jesus ate fish with His disciples after He rose from the dead; it will be the same for us, for "we shall be like him" (I John 3:2). Our bodies will be resurrected or translated and glorified. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

If He Had Stopped Short at Calvary 4/15 Friday Faith

If He had stopped short at Calvary or at going down into the cold grave, His work would have been a failure. Many people only see a dead Savior. They only have a dead religion of form and works. They have no life or power. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter Have a blessed Resurrection Day, brothers and sisters!

The Word Demonstrated 4/14 Thursday Thoughts

The Word was demonstrated by signs and wonders following (Mark 16:17-18), and so God's Word must be demonstrated today. All through the Word, from Genesis to Revelation, whenever God gave a message to one or two -- the message looked very foolish from a human standpoint; it took wonderful faith to go out and carry the measage, but they knew God -- whenever they went out and carried a message in God's way, something happened. The Lord God came in a visible way with signs from heaven that all the people could see. God demonstrated that message. So these visible signs of the Spirit are the Word demonstrated. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Keep the Devils Out 4/13 Wednesday Wisdom

The man had had these devils all his life. But Jesus said, "You come out of him, and don't you ever go in anymore." He will cast the devils out of you, but you have to keep them out yourself. If you get your house full of the glory of God and give the Lord the key, you will not be bothered anymore. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Going Out or Sitting Down? 4/12 Tuesday Truth

The healing power of Jesus went in, and their bodies were healed. Then they went out to bring in others. Is that what you are doing? Or are you sitting down and waiting for the power to come back? -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Jesus Went Out to Preach 4/11 Monday Meditation

Jesus went out to preach, and He did not have a lot of music to accompany Him. There were no pianos, but the power of God was there. It is not so much music, singing, long prayers, or preaching that is effective, but the Spirit of the living God. When Jesus opened His mouth, He spoke as no man had ever spoken (John 7:46), because there was something behind it. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

God Can Keep You 4/8 Friday Faith

Oh, you nervous people, you who are going to have an operation, God can keep you from all these things. "I am...the God of all flesh (Jere.12:27). Is there anything too hard for Jesus? No. He can move the mountain of tumor in a minute. He can remove he cancer and soothe your nerves. You who are afraid that the exciement will make you nervous: get a shock from the battery of heaven, and you will sleep like a baby. He is the very same Jesus, the wonder-working Jesus, "the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb. 13:8). Glory! I am a witness. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

By His Stripes 4/7 Thursday Thoughts

They heard about the Great Physician, about His mighty love and power. No case was too hard for Him. No one was too poor or too rich, if they came in God's way. He healed everyone, and He not only healed but He also saved them, for He gave them the double cure. He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses, and by His sripes we are healed today (Isa. 53:5). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

How Will They Get Faith? 4/6 Wednesday Wisdom

"Faith cometh by hearing"-- hearing the Word of God (Rom. 10:17). How can they hear the Word of God without a preacher, and how can he preach the Word of God unless God has sent him (vv. 14-15)? How are people to get faith for healing today when you preach against it? How will they get faith tabout the coming of the Son of God when you don't talk about it? Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. No man can get down into the mysteries of God withoug the enlightening power of the Holy Spirit. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

You Cannot Be Hidden 4/5 Tuesday Truth

Jesus Christ could not be hidden, and if you are filed with God as you ought to be, you cannot be hidden either. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter
