Why Should People Die? 12/27 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Why Should People Die? 12/27 Friday Faith Sometimes someone asks, "Why should people ever die if Christ will always heal?" Because faith can only go as far as God's promise, and God has nowhere promised that we shall never die during this dispensation. It is not immortal life that God promises in connection with the healing of the mortal body. The promise is fullness of life and health and strength up to the measure of our natural life and until our life work is done. True, it is the life of the resurrection that we have; but it is not the whole of it - only the firstfruits. --A. B. Simpson

A Favorite Classic Quote 12/26 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Favorite Classic Quote 12/26 Thursday Thoughts I repeat this quote at least yearly. The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is because Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with weekly meetings and occasionally reading the Bible, and sometimes praying. Beloved, it God has hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything and a beginning of God, so that your whole body becomes seasoned with a divine likeness of God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

God Wants Us to Move Mountains 12/24 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Wants Us to Move Mountains 12/24 Tuesday Truth I will not be posting for Christmas Day. Have a blessed Christmas, Faith Quotes family. God wants us to move mountains, anything that appears to be like a mountain can be moved. The mountains of difficulty, the mountains of perplexity, the mountains of depression or depravity. Things that bound you for years. Sometimes things appear as though they could not be moved, but you believe in your heart, stand on the Word of God, and God's Word will never be defeated. --Smith Wigglesworth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Where Our Gaze Is Fixed 12/23 Monday Meditation As we think about that which is pure, we become pure. As we think about that which is holy, we become holy.

I Am With You 12/19 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: I Am With You 12/19 Thursday Thoughts Christ did not say, "I will be with you alway." That would have suggested a break. He said, "I am" -- an unchanging now, a presence never withdrawn, a love, a nearness, a power to heal and save as constant and as free as ever, even unto the end of the world. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8) -A. B. Simpson

Your Thought Life 12/18 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Your Thought Life 12/18 Wednesday Wisdom The devil knows that if he can capture your thought life, he has won a mighty victory over you.

God wants us to let the mind that in Christ Jesus, that pure, holy, humble mind of Christ, be in us. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Swiss Mountain Streams 12/17 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Swiss Mountain Streams 12/17 Tuesday Truth 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

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Take Your Position 12/16 Monday Meditation Take your position in the first epistle of John and declare, "...greater is he that is in [me], than he that is in the world" (I John 4:4).

The Things That Are Not 12/11 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Things That Are Not 12/11 Wednesday Wisdom 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 things that are; HE RELIES ON THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Knowledge of God Laid Up for Us 12/10 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Knowledge of God Laid Up for Us 12/10 Tuesday Truth God has never put anything over on a pole where you could not reach it. He has brought His plan down to man, and if we are prepared this morning, oh, what there is for us! I feel sometimes we have just as much as we can digest, yet there are such divine nuggets of precious truth held before our hearts, it makes you understand that there are yet heights, and depths, and lengths, and breadths of the knowledge of God laid up for us. We might truly say, "My heavenly bank, my heavenly bank, / The house of God's treasure and store. / I have plenty in here; I'm a real millionaire." -- Smith Wigglesworth

Praise Is God's Sunlight 12/6 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Praise Is God's Sunlight 12/6 Friday Faith Praise is God's sunlight in the heart. It destroys sin germs. It ripens the fruits of the Spirit.

Praise is essential to the knowledge of God and his will. --Smith Wigglesworth

When Satan Can Get to Your Body 12/5 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES When Satan Can Get to Your Body 12/5 Thursday Thoughts When Satan can get to your body he will, if possible, make the pain, or the weakness, so distracting that it will affect your mind, and always bring your mind down to where the pain is. When that takes place, you haven't the same freedom in the Spirit to lift up your heart and shout, and praise the Lord, because the distraction of the pain brings the elementary power which ought to be full of praise to God, down into the body... Beloved, I mean precisely this: 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 power 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

A Faith Triumphant 12/4 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Faith Triumphant 12/4 Wednesday Wisdom Your spirit life is fruitful and built up and enriched by communion with the Father and by reading His Word. And your spirit becomes strong and vigorous. There issues from it a faith that is triumphant and creative. I venture to say this: The men and women who are weak in faith, that once were mighty in faith, are so because they have stopped feeding on the Word of God and stopped close, intimate fellowship with the Father. -- John G. Lake

Disease and Sickness 12/3 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Disease and Sickness 12/3 Tuesday Truth I have looked through my Bible, and I cannot find where God brings disease and sickness. I know there is glory, and I know it is the power of God that brings the glory; but it isn't God at all, but the devil that brings sickness and disease. --Smith Wigglesworth

Shout or Doubt? 12/2 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Shout or Doubt? 12/1 Tuesday Truth I come across some who would be giants in the power of God but they have no shout of faith. I find everywhere people who go down [fail] even when they are praying simply because they are just breathing sentences without uttering speech, and you cannot get victory that way. You must learn to take the victory and shout in the face of the devil, "It is done!" There is no man who can doubt if he learns to shout. -- Smith Wigglesworth
