The Highest Order of Prayer 3/7 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Highest Order of Prayer 3/7 Friday Faith The highest order of prayer is a dialogue: you and He conversing about His work. You are there to talk things over with Him. You are a son taking a son's place. You are intent upon doing His will, carrying out His will. You and He are working together. You see, He has made you not only a New Creation and a Son but He has made you a partner in this work. You are the fruit-bearing part of the company. You are the hands and feet and the voice of the company. -- E.W. Kenyon

The Greatest Manifestation 3/6 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Greatest Manifestation 3/6 Thursday Thoughts John G. Lake had a great international healing ministry, yet he had this to say: The greatest manifestation of the Holy Ghost-baptized life ever given to the world was not in the preaching of the apostles; it was not in the wonderful manifestation of God that took place at their hands. It was in the unselfishness manifested by the Church. Think of it! Three thousand Holy Ghost-baptized Christians in Jerusalem from the Day of Pentecost onward, who love their neighbors' children as much as their own, who were so anxious for fear their brethren did not have enough to eat that they sold their estates and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet. They said, "Distribute it, carry the glow and the fire and the wonder of this divine salvation to the whole world" (See Acts 2:44-25). That showed what God has wrought in their hearts. Oh, I wish we could arrive at that place, where this church was baptized to that degree of unselfishness. -- John G. Lake

Life Abundantly 3/5 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Life Abundantly 3/5 Wednesday Wisdom Samson has his name recorded in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews as being a man of faith. He was a man who was chosen of God from his mother's womb, but he only had the power of God coming upon him on certain occasions; whereas now we who have received the fulness of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, may have the unction which abides forever. The Lord has promised that we shall have life and have it abundantly. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Hold On! 3/4 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Hold On! 3/4 Tuesday Truth Sometimes were are tempted to think that He has left us. Oh, no. He has promised never to leave us, He will not fail. Jacob held on until the blessing came. We can do the same. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Only Believe! 3/3 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Only Believe! 3/3 Monday Meditation Only believe! Only believe! God will not fail you, beloved. It is impossible for God to fail. Believe God, rest in Him. God's rest is an undisturbed place, a place where heaven bends to meet you. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Watch Your Words! 2/28 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Watch Your Words! 2/28 Friday Faith But when you have a negative testimony and you talk about your lack and your weakness, the adversary takes advantage of your confession and brings you down to the level of it. -- E.W. Kenyon.

He Himself Is Yours 2/27 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: He Himself Is Yours 2/27 Thursday Thoughts Now just take this thing home to your heart and read Ephesians 1:3, "Who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ." You are blessed with everything that you need. His very fullness is yours. His ability is yours. His love is yours. Yes, he Himself is yours! -- E.W. Kenyon

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: If Jesus Healed ... 2/26 Wednesday Wisdom If Jesus healed those people who came to Him in such multitudes, in order to fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah that He had borne their sicknesses, then He will heal me because He has also borne my sicknesses, for He is no respecter of persons. I have to believe the record and to say in faith, "Since Jesus bore my sicknesses on the Cross of Calvary, therefore I need not bear them, and I am healed.": You will find that all of God's gifts are given to faith, and only to faith, and it is only as you realize that they are already yours through Jesus Christ that you can have them at all. -- Carrie Judd Montgomery, early Christian and Missionary Alliance and Assemblies of God missionary

Resist 2/25 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Resist 2/25 Tuesday Truth Resist the devil with his doubts and discouraging suggestions. Don't parley with him. Resist him when you hear his first word, and the Spirit of the Lord shall raise up a standard against him. I believe this is often why we lose the victory. After taking our stand of faith and receiving the promise in Christ's name, we dare to listen to Satan's insinuations. Resist, resist him, and he shall flee. -- Carrie Judd Montgomery

Where There Isn't a Revival Spirit 2/24 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Why There Isn't a Revival Spirit 2/24 Monday Meditation If you have the Spirit's power upon you, go into that room or somewhere else and never cease till God finishes the work. Outside the church where there isn't a revival spirit, and where people are not born again, you will find the church becomes dead, dry, and barren, and helpless. They enter into entertainments and all kinds of teas. They live on a natural association and lose their grand, glorious hope. --Smith Wigglesworth

If We Walk in Love 2/21 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES 2/21 Friday Faith If we walk in love, we never pray out of His will, and if we understand Heb. 4:16, "Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." This love life permits us to walk into the very presence of the Father. You may go into the throne room and stand in His presence and make your petitions known in that name, and as sure as you do, that petition is heard. -- E.W. Kenyon

The Lord Is Good 2/20 Thursday Thoughts

Circumstances may not be encouraging at the moment, and all may seem dark around us, but the fact still remains "that the Lord is good," and that "His mercy is everlasting." As we continue to wait upon Him with thanksgiving and supplication, He will reveal His enduring goodness and mercy in our lives. No matter how you feel, remember that a fitting approach to [Him] is praise. -- Carrie Judd Montgomery

Let Jesus Christ Be Big in You 2/19 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Let Jesus Christ Be Big in You 2/19 Wednesday Wisdom Let Jesus Christ be big in you. Count on Him rather than weakness. Count on Him rather than circumstances. Count on Him rather than the arm of flesh. Rest in Him. Take your place in Him. Give Him his place in your life. Do it now, and say to your heart, "I am more than conqueror: I am more than a victor; I am identified with the very Son of God; He is identified with me." Now live and let Him live in you. -- E.W. Kenyon

Be Nor Afraid 2/18 Tuesday Truth

Now you are thinking of some great trouble in your life, and you are saying, 'Oh, Lord, I have no might.' Yes God knows that. 'Neither know we what to do.' Yes, God knows your helplessness, but will you not ... get your eyes off from circumstances, and get them upon God? Can you say, 'Our eyes are upon Thee?' Not upon circumstances, or this great company, but upon Thee. Then comes the answer from the Lord, 'Be not afraid: the battle is not yours, but God's.' -- Carrie Judd Montgomery

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Jesus at the Throne of God 2/17 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Jesus at the Throne of God 2/17 Monday Meditation Did you ever stop to think of Jesus at the throne of God? I like to think of the twentieth century Christ -- not the Jesus that lived in the world two thousand years ago, not the humiliated Jesus, not Jesus dying on the cross for my sin, but the glorified, exalted Son of God at the throne of God who stands declaring, "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Rev. 1:18) Blessed be God. And that is the Christ that breathes His power into your soul and mine, and that is the consciousness that is breathed from heaven in the Holy Ghost when it comes to your heart. Amen. -- John G. Lake

God Is My Own Father 2/14 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Is My Own Father 2/4 Monday Meditation I have the Name of Jesus. God is my own Father. What more could I ask? But that is not all. I am His own child. I do not have to try to be His child. I am. I am born of His Spirit. I am a partaker of His nature, Eternal Life. --E.W. Kenyon

He Gives His Beloved Sleep 2/13 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: He Gives His Beloved Sleep 2/13 Thursday Thoughts "Yesterday, Brother Fogwill quoted that wonderful scripture that, "He giveth his beloved sleep. (Psalm 127:2). And last night after retiring it was impossible for me to sleep. I said, "Dear Lord, I am Your beloved, and I want to sleep," and I slept like a child all night. If you have any trouble with sleeplessness, and you are the beloved of God, just make God come through with His promise." -- John G. Lake [I have shared this Scripture with many who have sleep problems. --Lep]

Nine Times Out of Ten 2/12 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: 9 Times Out of 10 2/12 Wednesday Wisdom Nine times out of ten, falling away from God begins in the neglect of private prayer. -- Charles Spurgeon

A Partaker of God's Very Nature 2/11 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Partaker of God's Very Nature 2/11 Tuesday Truth If we say over and over again to our hearts: "I am a partaker of God's very nature. I have in me His faith nature. This makes me a child of faith. I have been begotten of the Living Word through the Holy Spirit. The real me was recreated in Christ. I have the very nature of the Father and the Father is love, so I have in me the love nature of the Father," if we meditate on this, we will no longer be "double-minded men." Repeat it over and over again. Hold it as a constant affirmation before your mind that you are what He says you are; that you are a partaker of His very nature as He has declared. And you remember that "greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." That Greater One is the Holy Spirit. --E.W. Kenyon

Strong in Faith 2/10 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Strong in Faith 2/10 Monday Meditation God wants to bring us to the place of believing, where, despite all contradictions around, we are strong in faith, giving God glory. As we fully believe God, He will be glorified, and we will prove a blessing to the whole world as was our father Abraham. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Man the Crowning Creation 2/7 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Man the Crowning Creation 2/7 Friday Faith I once listened to an eminent divine preaching from the text, "What is man?" and when he got through I had a feeling that man was a kind of whipped cur with his tail between his legs, sneaking out to throw himself into the lake saying, "Here goes nothing." I said, "He has never caught the fire of the thing Jesus is endeavoring to teach through the apostle -- that man was the crowning creation of God. That God endowed him with a nature and qualities that by the grace of God can express more of God than any other of God's creations." -- John G. Lake

Not Acting, But Being 2/6 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Not Acting, But Being 2/6 Thursday Thoughts Men are afraid to say yes to God. When a young man, I sat in a little meeting one night when the Spirit was talking to my heart. I said, "If I am going to be a Christian, I cannot do this, and I cannot do that." Oh, mighty God, it almost makes my soul vomit in these days to think of the average conception a man has of Christianity. About ninety percent of so-called Christianity is all spelled with four letters, d-o-n'-t. Don't do this and don't do that... Why bless God, religion is all contained in two letters, b-e. Not performing acts, but being the thing that God purposed. -- John G. Lake

Stand Still 2/5 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Stand Still 2/5 Wednesday Wisdom No person who has Jesus as the inward power of his body needs to be trembling when Satan comes around. All he has to do is to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Respectability and Decorum 2/4 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Respectability and Decorum 2/4 Tuesday Truth The motto of the cold, indifferent, worldly church is, "Respectability and decorum," respectability inspired by one who is far from respectable -- Satan. . . A generation that prides itself upon its respectability and decorum despises the manifestations of the Spirit of God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Where Men Lack 2/3 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Where Men Lack 2/3 Monday Meditation They [the gospels] will never fail to accomplish the work of God if people will but read and believe them. That is where men lack. All lack of faith is due to not feeding on God's Word. You need it every day. How can you enter into a life of faith? Feed on the living Christ of whom this Word is full. As you get taken up with the glorious fact and the wondrous presence of the living Christ, the faith of God will spring up within you. "...Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). -- Smith Wigglesworth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Dependence Upon the Holy Spirit 1/31 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Dependence Upon the Holy Spirit 1/31 Friday Faith 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

Secret of Abundant Life 1/30 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Secret of the Abundant Life 1/30 Thursday Thoughts That is the secret of the abundant life of which Jesus spoke. Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). The reason we have the more abundant life is because that, receiving God into our being, all the springs of our being are quickened by His living presence. Consequently, if we are living today and we receive God, we live life in a fuller measure. We live life with a greater energy, because we become the recipients of the energy of the living God in addition to our normal energy, through the reception of His being, His nature, His life into ours. -- John G. Lake

Peoople Who Are Really Glad 1/29 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: People Who Are Really Glad 1/29 Wednesday Wisdom The children of God are the only people who are really glad. We are glad inside and we are glad outside. Our gladness flows from the inside. God has filled us with joy unspeakable and full of glory... This joy in the Holy Ghost is beyond anything else. And this joy of the Lord is our strength. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Let God Loose! 1/28 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Let God Loose! 1/28 Tuesday Truth This is one of my all-time favorite quotes. I have repeated it several times over the 19 years that I have been posting Lep's Faith Quotes. Have you been in Canada? Do you know when I was in Canada, there was one thing that struck me peculiarly. The signs would read, "John Brown, Limited." Everywhere I see that sign. I was holding meetings in the old St. Andrew's Church in Sydney. I asked them one night why they did not put their national symbol on their churches. They wondered what I meant. I said, "every other business house is LTD; why don't you put it over the church?" An old Scotchman said, "We don't have to. Everybody knows [the church is limited]. ...Everybody knows the church is limited... Limited? Sure it is limited. [We] Limit God, limit ourselves, limit His grace, limit the Word. Sure, our God is a little bit of a god. Most of us could carry Him in our vest pocket, and it wouldn't bulge the pocket. Our God with the "LTD" on Him. Brother, sister, that challenge comes to us today to LET GOD LOOSE. -- John G. Lake

Hidden in God 1/27 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Hidden in God 1/27 Monday Meditation Oh, what privileges are ours when we are born of God. How marvelously He keeps us so that the wicked one touches us not. I see a place in God where Satan dare not come. Hidden in God. And He invites us all to come and share this wonderful hidden place where our lives are hid with Christ in God, where we dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. God has this place for you in this blessed realm of grace. -- Smith Wigglesworth

A Neutralizing Force 1/24 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Neutralizing Force 1/24 Friday Faith Every man and woman in connection with our church who is not spending time in prayer will be a neutralizing force in the church. They may be in the choir; they may be in the Sunday School; they may have charge of the finances; they may act as deacons or elders; but whatever their place, they carry a certain coldness, they are an inert body. They have a tendency to lower the spiritual temperature of everyone in close contact with them. So it is vitally important that the largest possible number of the membership should be led into the Prayer Program of the church. This isn't any place for theory. This is the place for positive facts. A church can't be built up spiritually without prayer. Numbers can be drawn through personal work or by eloquence, but to build up a real spiritual body, is only possible through prayer. --E.W. Kenyon

Optimist or Groaner? 1/23 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Optimist or Groaner? 1/23 Thursday Thoughts I have always wondered how a Christian could be anything less that an optimist. It is a sad thing when you hear Christians with a groan in them. When I meet the groaner I say in my heart, "God, move the man on into the place where he comprehends what Christianity is." The Christian with a groan in him never moved the world except to groans. -- John G. Lake

The Devil Is an Angel of Light 1/22 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Devil Is an Angel of Light 1/22 Wednesday Wisdom Don't you believe the devil is a big ugly monster; he comes as an angel of light, and he comes at a time when you have done well, and tells you about it. He comes to make you feel you are somebody. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Feed on the Word 1/16 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Feed on the Word 1/16 Thursday Thoughts This will be my last post until about a week from today. The Father's Word in Jesus' lips accomplished things. It hushed the sea. It quieted the wind. It raised the dead. It fed the multitudes. His Living Word in lips of faith will do the same today. When you know that the Word is God speaking, you will speak the Word with authority. You remember that faith in God is faith in His Word. You want to build your Faith? Feed on the Word; act upon it. You remember Matt. 4:4: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." You can't build faith and feed on any other kind of food. --E.W. Kenyon

What I Am in Christ 1/15 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: What I Am in Christ 1/15 Wednesday Wisdom Tomorrow will be my last post for about a week. I want you to say in the morning, "That mighty One is in me. He can put me over today. I can face any emergency. I can do all things in Him because He is my strength." I can hear Him whisper, Isaiah 41:10: "Fear thou not for I am with thee. ("I am in thee.") Be not dismayed for I am thy (Father) God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will uphold thee; yea, I am today all that you need: your helper, your wisdom your strength, your ability." You see, it is not what I should be. It is not what I can be. It is what I am in Christ. --E. W. Kenyon

When We Possess Nothing 1/14 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: When We Possess Nothing 1/14 Tuesday Truth "Thursday Thoughts" will be my last post for a week. One of our workers said to me at Christmas time, "Wigglesworth, I never was so near the end of my purse in my life." I replied, "Thank God, you are just at the opening of God's treasures." It is when we are at the end of our own that we can enter into the riches of God's resources. It is when we possess nothing that we can possess all things. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Having Your "I" Knocked Out 1/13 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Having Your "I" Knocked Out 1/13 Monday Meditation 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

Believing Prayer 1/10 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Believing Prayer 1/10 Friday Faith Believing prayer is not much noise. Believing prayer may not be any noise at all. Believing prayer is a committing, an intelligent committing of yourself to God, and your mind is stayed in God and your heart is stayed in God and you are walking in God. You are ready to die rather than go to anyone but God. This is the real believing prayer. That is the continuous prayer. That is prevailing prayer. Blessed be God! -- John G. Lake

You Can't Be Conquered 1/9 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: You Can't Be Conquered 1/9 Thursday Thoughts You can't be conquered. Your spirit is whispering, "Nay, in all these things I am more than a conqueror." Every disease is of the Adversary. All kinds of sin are of the Adversary. All opposition to the glad tidings is of the Adversary. God and I are victors. Greater is He that is in me than this opposition or this disease. There is no need that is greater than my Lord. There is no lack that He cannot meet. This indomitable will that God has wrought in you cannot be overwhelmed, or conquered. You remember what you are -- you are a New Creation. You are a branch of the vine. You are an heir of God. --E.W. Kenyon

Pure Right Through 1/8 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Pure Right Through 1/8 Wednesday Wisdom The power of God can remodel you. He can make you hate sin and love righteousness. He can take away bitterness and hatred and covetousness and malice, and can so consecrate you by His power, through His blood, that you are made pure -- every bit holy. Pure in mind, heart and actions -- pure right through. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Live in the Bible 1/7 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Live in the Bible 1/7 Tuesday Truth I do not find anything in the Bible but holiness, and nothing in the world but worldliness. Therefore, if I live in the world I shall become worldly; but, on the other hand, if I live in the Bible, I shall become holy. That is the truth, and the truth will set you free. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Praise Is God's Sunlight 1/6 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Praise Is God's Sunlight 1/6 Monday Meditation 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 I am now posting in eight locations daily. I have recently added Lordsbook.com. It's a Christian social media site that works exactly like Facebook, but all posts are Christian teachings, quotes, and memes, if you might be interested in joining.

The Touch of Jesus 1/3 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Touch of Jesus 1/3 Friday Faith The touch of Jesus meant much to a leper. It was long since a hand of love had touched the man. Jesus' touch was not cold or mechanical. He was "moved with compassion." His heart of love and His very life were in it. Yes, Christ helps us not because His promise compels Him, but because His love overflows toward us. -- A.B. Simpson

This Is Faith 1/2 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: This Is Faith 1/2 Thursday Thoughts Had the man said, "Lord, help my unbelief" without first saying "Lord, I believe," it would have been vain. Had he said, "Lord, I believe" and stopped there, it would have been equally vain, for it would only have been his own willpower. He put forth his will, and then he depended on Christ for the strength. This is faith. --A.B. Simpson
