The Original Standard 2/19 Monday Meditation

And the Church will never be a real Church, in the real power of the living God again, until she comes back again to the original standard, where Jesus was. Jesus said, "Behold, I give you authority." What authority? "Against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease" (Matthew 10:1). Jesus has vested that authority in you. You say, "Well. Lord, we understand the authority that is in your Word, but we haven't the power." But Jesus said, "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you" (Acts 1:8). -- John G. Lake.
