God Sends His Power 6/1 Wednesday Wisdom

As we lift up Jesus, God sends His power through us, as He did in apostolic days. Let us rise and shine and give God the glory. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Like a Sponge 5/31 Tuesday Truth

...Believe it, accept it, and get more of Jesus. If we take in and take in and do not give out, we are like a sponge that needs to be squeezed. Let us get so full that it will run right out through us, and not absorb and absorb, and never give out. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

God Will Use You 5/30 Monday Meditation

The power of the Holy Spirit struck the sick ones and healed them, and the people marveled. Jesus Himself did many mighty works, and He told the apostles that they would do even greater things if they believed in Him (John 14:12). Men and women, God wants you to get into that place. Don't you see that God works through human instrumentality? God will use us if we are swallowed up in Him. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Blow the Whistle 5/27 Friday Faith

All the devil has to do is blow his whistle, and his army runs to do his work. God has to blow and blow on His whistle before He can get His people to do His work, yet we have the promise, "One man of you shall chase a thousand" (Josh. 23:19). The devil hates holiness and power; he persecutes, and persecution is all that makes men fit for heaven. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Stand on the Rock 5/26 Thursday Thoughts

Is the way too hard? Is the price too great? Make up your mind that you will stand on the rock and that even if the whole world leaves, you won't, because Chrsit will be sufficient. We are going to be tested as never before. It is going to be harder every day, even among the people of God, because so many false teachers are coming in. It is a day of delusions; all kinds of delusions are coming. Keep under the blood, keep holy, keep pure, and God will give us wisdom. Glory to God! -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

New Things 5/25 Wednesday Wisdom

"Behold, I will show you new things from this day. Things you never knew before." So many of us do not want to acknowledge that we don't know it all. We don't know anything as we ought to, and there is so much more for us. Let us leave the shoreline and get where the Spirit lets us down into the deep things of God. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Too Stubborn 5/24 Tuesday Truth

Many people see the light, but they are too stubborn to walk in it. They don't want to follow that path and be laughed at and all that. Dear friends, what do you care? How many of you draw back through fear -- fear of being laughed at, fear that you will lose your position or be "thrown out of the synagogue"? (See John 9:22.) Bless God, they cannot throw you out of heaven. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

The Things We See 5/23 Monday Meditation

Men are trusting in their money and education and the like instead of trusting in the arm of Almighty God. All these things will perish. But look at the Great White Throne (Rev. 20:11); see the River of Life (Rev. 22:1); see the wonderful things God is preparing. The things we see here will perish, but the things we see inthe Sirit up in heaven will last forever. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

I Don't Want to be a Fool 5/20 Friday Faith

You say, "Oh, I don't want to be a fool." But you are one already. I would rather be a fool for God than for the Devil. To everyone who is not saved, He says, "Thou fool" (Luke 12:20). I would rather be one of God's wise little ones, even if all the people in the world called me a fool. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God (1 Cor. 3:19). The wisdom of this world will perish. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Persecutions 5/19 Thursday Thoughts

People don't want to walk in the light; they don't like the way. They say, "We will be despised, and they will call us all kinds of names." If they can call us any worse than they did the Son of God, I'd like to know about it. But if we suffer with Him, we will reign with Him (2 Tim. 2:12). He has promised us everything in this life, "with persecutions" (Mark 10:30). We all want the good things but not the persecutiion. Yet those who desire to live in a godly way will suffer persecution (2 Tim. 3:12). Bless, God, He is around us like a wall of fire. He who is in us and around us is greater than he who is against us (1 John 4:4). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Get Out of the Mud 5/18 Wednesday Wisdom

God gives you the power to dance, power to get out of the mud and run up the mountains. Bless God! Let us get out of the mud. Let us get cleaned up and dressed up for heaven. Join this race. God is filling the people. There are great degrees of glory, but everyone can advance another degree, and another, and another -- and they won't have to pay any money, either -- until they come into the perfect image of Jesus Christ. (See 2 Corinthians 3:18.) -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

We Are Going! 5/17 Tuesday Truth

God will gather us up and take us where the people never get old! There will be no death! No children will be crying for bread! There will be no prairie fires! No wars! Bless God, we are going! Don't you want to join the procession? Don't you want to sell everything and go? Leave the city of destruction and run from the storm; don't linger in the plain. Prepare to meet God. Prepare for the coming of the Lord, because He is coming. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

A Glorious Church 5/16 Monday Meditation

The church will soon leave this world in a cloud of glory. God is calling out a people for a prepared place (John 14:2-3), and He is preparing a people to finish up His work in the church of the living God. She must be a glorious church, pure and white and clothed with the power of Almighty God-- a prepared people, a special nation, a called-out nation from all the nations of the earth, a separate nation, a holy priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), children of the living God, God's sons and daughters. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Be of One Accord 5/13 Friday Faith

If you are seeking the baptism [of the Holy Spirit], get saved first, get filled with joy, get off the judgment seat, and be of one accord, of one mind, praising the Lord, just as the early believers were. (See Acts 1:14; 2:1). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Will You Turn Back? 5/12 Thursday Thoughts

The people in Jesus' day began to murmur and grumble at they do today. God knows when people grumble. Many thousands of those people who were saved and had had all those blessings turned away and never followed the Son of God anymore. Jesus looked at the few who were left, and His heart must have been broken for those who were so blind. He asked His disciples, "Will you also go away?" He is saying the same thing to us. So many Christians have backslidden and are going off into delusions. It is the sifting time as never before. God is looking at us, especially those who are baptized in the Spirit. He asks, "Will you also forsake Me? Will you also turn back, or will you go forward all the way?" Peter's answer was, "To whom shall we go?" (John 6:68). We cannot find a better way... "Thou hast the words of eternal life" (v. 68). We don't guess -- 'we believe and are sure that thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God' (v. 69)." -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

In the Last Days 5/6 Friday Faith

I will not be posting Monday, May 9, through Wednesday, May 11. According to God's Word, the time of trouble, such as men have never seen or known, or ever will see again (Matth. 24:21), has already commenced and will end with the battle of the Great God. We are in the last days of His preparation; Jesus is coming soon for His bride (1 Thess. 4:16-17), and she is getting ready. He is sending His angels, His servants, with the sound of a trumpet, calling the elect together, so that we may all be baptized with one faith, one Spirit, and one mind; so that we may be among the wise, who will "shine as the brightness of the firmament" (Dan. 12:3). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Goodness of God 5/5 Thursday Thoughts

I will not be posting Monday - Wednesday, May 9-11. There is nothing the devil hates with more internal malevolence than divine healing. That is something that is visible, tangible, real, and valuable. When a lame man is enabled to walk, or a poor epileptic is made well, that is something the unsaved world can see and appreciate. It convinces them of the goodness and lovingkindness of God. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Either Forward or Backward 5/4 Wednesday Wisdom

You are either going forward or backward. As long as you walk in the light, you have fellowship with and love for your brothers and sisters in Christ, and you have a present salvation. However, when you refuse to walk in the light, you go backward, and you lose that sweet fellowship with God and with the saints. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

The Conqueror 5/3 Tuesday Truth

Hear the Spirit of the Conqeror, "Come up, my people, come up to the help of the Lord, against the mighty." The Devil is mighty in these last days, but "the battle is the Lord's" (1 Sam. 17:47). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Preaching in the Holy Spirit 5/2 Tuesday Truth

They preached this Gospel under the power of the Holy Spirit, whom they had received on the Day of Pentecost. This is such an essential and all-important factor in preaching that Jesus would not permit them to enter into their great lifework until they had received the divine anointing. Had they not tarried in Jerusalem until this anointing came, the Acts of the Apostles would never have been written, for there would not have been any acts on their part that needed to be recorded, and the revivals mentioned above would never have been reported. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter
