The Branch and the Vine 6/20 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Branch and the Vine 6/20 Friday Faith If we could remember that we are living in the actual presence of God, our Father, and of Jesus all the time, we would see things differently. Jesus says in John 15:5, "I am the Vine and ye are the branches." Well, a branch is a part of the Vine and is in the presence of the Vine all the time. --E. W. Kenyon I will not be posting next Wednesday through Friday.

Belief vs. Faith 6/19 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Belief vs. Faith 6/19 Thursday Thoughts Many people today have an intellectual faith, a historical faith; they believe. Well, "the devils also believe, and tremble" (James 2:19). Belief is one thing; faith is another. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter I will not be posting next Wednesday through Friday.

We Tie God's Hands 6/18 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: We Tie God's Hands 6/18 Wednesday Wisdom "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8)! God never changes. We have changed. We are not waiting for God. God is waiting for us. The Holy Spirit is given; we are still in the dispensation opened on the Day of Pentecost. But God can only work when we are willing, yielded, and obedient. We tie God's hands. -- Frank Bartleman

Side Issues 6/17 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Side Issues 6/17 Tuesday Truth Don't talk about side issues; don't get a bone of contention and talk about it. When people know Him, they will know what to do, what to wear, how to get married, and how to live when they are married. Preach Jesus. Glory to God! People will not change their ideas to please you. God Almighty has to show them. These things break up meetings [congregations], and the people lose their power. Lift up Jesus. It is not by might or by power; it is Almighty God doing the work (Zech. 4:6). We must show forth what He is doing. Let us stand by Him during this short time when the command goes forth to blow the trumpet. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Live Holiness 6/16 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Let Us Live Holiness 6/16 Monday Meditation Let us live holiness, and revival will come down. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Living Stones 6/13 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Living Stones 6/13 Friday Faith As living stones, we are being built up into a spiritual house (1 Peter 2:5). Oh, glory to God! We are God's temple, in which He lives and moves. He molds us as clay in order to show His glorious presence, and so the world can see that the treasure is in our earthen vessels and that it is all of God (2 Cor. 4:7). --Maria Woodworth-Etter

Be As One Family 6/12 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Be As One Family 6/12 Thursday Thoughts We should be as one family, which we are, at home in God's house anywhere. We belong to the whole body of Christ, both in heaven and on earth. God's church is one. It is a terrible thing to go about dismembering the body of Christ. How foolish and wicked the petty differences between Christians will appear in the light of eternity. -- Frank Bartleman

Christ the Foundation 6/11 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Christ the Foundation 6/11 Wednesday Wisdom God's people can never get together on human creeds and disciplines. They are too narrow and changeable. We have a foundation that is broad enough to hold all. Christ Himself is this foundation. In Christ, all God's people are one, irrespective of race, color, social standing, or creed. -- Frank Bartleman

He Is Always There 6/10 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: He Is Always There 6/10 Tuesday Truth Oh, to be found in the place where He is -- always there, never out of order, ripe. How did He get there? He was there all the time. We need to have our eyes open. Always there, to bring us to the place where we are confident; the Lord is with us. There is such a place; Abraham touched it. Jesus lived in it. Paul desired to have it. Have you got it? -- Smith Wigglesworth

Pilgrims and Strangers 6/9 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Pilgrims and Strangers 6/9 Monday Meditation Oh, praise the Lord. He is calling out a people for a special purpose in these last days. He calls them the wise ones, a chosen generation, a nation called out from among the nations, a royal kingly nation or nation of kings, a holy priesthood, a special people, who confess that they are not of this world, for our citizenship and kingdom are not of this world. We confess that we are pilgrims and strangers in this world (Heb. 11:13). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Watch and Pray 6/6 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Watch and Pray 6/6 Friday Faith Watch and pray. Be in an attitude of prayer or praise all the time so that you may be counted worthy to escape these awful calamties and stand before the Son of God (Luke 21:36). Don't you see that we have no time for foolish talking about what this one or that one said? I am here to tell what Jesus Christ said. I don't steal words from my neighbor. It is what Jesus said that is important. We are to pay attention to "Thus saith the Lord." -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Act on the Word 6/5 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Act on the Word 6/5 Thursday Thoughts Every time you act on the Word, something enters into your spirit that increases your assurance. Every time that you fail to act on the Word, you lose. -- E. W. Kenyon

God Has Forgiven and Forgotten 6/4 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Has Forgiven and Forgotten 6/4 Wednesday Wisdom It is not what we are that counts, but what we can be as He disciplines and chastens us and transforms us by His all-skilled hands... There is none like Him. He knows. He forgives. We cannot forgive ourselves; we oftentimes would give the world to forget, but we cannot. The devil won't let us forget. But God has forgiven and forgotten. Do you believe self, or the devil, or God? Which are you going to believe? Believe God. I know the past is under the blood and that God has forgiven and forgotten, for when He forgives He forgets. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! --Smith Wigglesworth

He'll Never Forget to Keep Me 6/3 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: He'll Never Forget to Keep Me 6/3 Tuesday Truth Who are of the tribe of Abraham? All who believe in Jesus Christ are the seed of faith, Abraham's seed. If we dare come believing, God will heal, God will restore, will lift the burden and wake us up to real overcoming faith. Look up! Take courage! Jesus has shaken the foundations of death and darkness. He fighteth for you and there is none like Him. He is the great I Am. His name is above every name. As we believe we are lifted into a place of rest, a place of conformity to Him. He says to us as He did to Abraham, "...I will bless thee... and thou shalt be a blessing" (Genesis 12:2). He says to us as He did to His people of old, "With lovingkindness have I drawn thee." Hallelujah! "He'll never forget t keep me, He'll never forget to keep me; my Father has many dear children, but He'll never forget to keep me." Believe it. He will never forget. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Your Real Combat 5/30 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Your Real Combat 5/30 Friday Faith I will not be posting on Monday, June 2. Now you bring the Living Word of God to combat the reasonings of the Senses. You are not swayed by the things you see -- an empty purse, a weak body, or a lack of work. You must never think of your combat as against the things that you can see or hear or feel. Your combat is with the prince of the power of the air that rules people's feelings and fills them with fear. --E. W. Kenyon

Helmet and Sword 5/29 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Helmet and Sword 5/29 Thursday Thoughts Ephesians 6:17 tells us how we overthrow reasoning of the disputer and we pull down all the lofty bulwarks. "And take the helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God." We show the world that we are absolutely masters in Christ. We have never as a church realized the authority and might of the Word. -- E. W. Kenyon I will not be posting on Monday.

Make Your Life a Success 5/28 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Make Your Life a Success 5/28 Wednesday Wisdom You are God's fellow workers. He has called you to labor with Him; so whatever your work is, as long as you are in His will, He is a partner with you. You can't be a failure, for His wisdom is your wisdom; His ability in every department of life is your ability. All you need to do is to study the Word and get the knowledge that is imparted to you there. Then He will give you the ability to use that knowledge to make your life a success. --E. W. Kenyon

Because He Said It 5/27 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Because He Said It 5/27 Tuesday Truth "Greater works than these shall ye do." You say, "How?" Only believe. What is it to believe? It is to have such confidence in what the Lord said that we take Him at His Word because He said it. Glory to God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

God Never Fails 5/26 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Never Fails 5/26 Monday Meditation God says, "Not one word shall fail, of all that I have promised." Sometime we fail, but God never does. Hallelujah. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Things We See 5/23 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Things We See 5/23 Friday Faith 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

Greater Than Any Force 5/22 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Greater Than Any Force 5/22 Thursday Thoughts I John 4:4, "Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." The One who raised Jesus from the dead is in you -- the New Creation. You have the life and nature of God, and the One that is in you is greater than any force or power outside of you. -- E. W. Kenyon

A Constant Offering 5/21 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Constant Offering 5/21 Wednesday Wisdom Nothing less will please the Lord, only a constant, full burnt offering for God, where He is in absolute and utter authority over my whole being, until I am living, thinking, acting in the power of the Holy Ghost. Praise the Lord! -- Smith Wigglesworth

Too Big to Tell 5/20 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Too Big to Tell 5/20 Tuesday Truth There is no power that can convert a man except the power of the blood of Jesus. Brother, the carnal life is not subject to the will of God, neither indeed can be. Carnality is selfishness and uncleanness. It cannot be subject to God; it interferes with you; it binds and keeps you in bondage; but, beloved, God destroys carnality by a new life, which is so much better, and fills you with joy unspeakable and full of glory. The half can never be told. Everything that God does is too big to tell. His grace, His love, His mercy, His salvation, are all too big to understand. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Holy Ghost Has Got Me 5/19 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Holy Ghost Has Got Me 5/19 Monday Meditation It was a tremendous thought for me to know that I had received the Holy Ghost, but I am coming to a great wonderment of splendor to know that the Holy Ghost has at last got me! -- Smith Wigglesworth

A Glorious Church 5/16 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Glorious Church 5/16 Friday Faith 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

The Battle With the Senses 5/15 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Battle With Our Senses 5/15 Thursday Thoughts So Paul continues, in Galatians 5:19, "Now the works of the senses [sinful nature] are manifest" ... The battle that we fight in our daily walk is with our senses. I want that thing that I see. I may want to drink it. I may want to eat it. I may want to feel it. My spirit must govern my senses. My mind must be so renewed by knowing the Word and acting on the Word that I can easily conquer my senses. --E.W. Kenyon

More Than a Conqueror 5/14 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: More Than a Conqueror 5/14 Wednesday Wisdom Now you can say with Paul, "I can do all things in Christ Who enables me." There is no power of Satan that can defeat you, for the Father has made you more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ. --E. W. Kenyon

Choosing Second Best 5/13 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Choosing Second Best 5/13 Tuesday Truth Human organization and human programs leave very little room for the free Spirit of God... It is very easy to choose second best. The prayer life is needed much more than buildings or organizations. These are often a substitute for the other. Souls are born into the kingdom only through prayer. -- Frank Bartelman

Faith for Better Things 5/12 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Faith For Better Things 5/12 Monday Meditation When we began to pray in the spring of 1905, no one seemed to have much faith for anything out of the ordinary. Pessimism in regard to the then-present conditions seemed to be felt generally among the saints. But this attitude had changed. God Himself had given us faith for better things. There had been nothing in sight to stimulate us to this. It came from nothing. And can He not do the same today? --Frank Bartleman (historian of the Azusa Street Revival)

Belief vs. Faith 5.9 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Belief vs. Faith 5/9 Friday Faith Many people today have an intellectual faith, a historical faith; they believe. Well, "the devils also believe, and tremble" (James 2:19). Belief is one thing; faith is another. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

A Burden of Prayer 5/8 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Burden of Prayer 5/8 Thursday Thoughts I found most Christians did not want to take on a burden of prayer... Most believers find it easier to criticize than to pray. -- Frank Bartelman

God Can Take Our Weakness 5/6 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Can Take Our Weakness 5/6 Wednesday Wisdom When I know that God can take my weakness and make it power; when He can take our weakness and depravity and make us holy, then I know I have a God of immensity. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Forgiveness and Remissiion 5/6 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Forgiveness and Remission 5/6 Tuesday Truth It is very important that we understand the difference between forgiveness and the remission of sins. A man receives remission of sins when he is born again. He may receive forgiveness of sins after he is Born Again as often as he sins. You remember I John 1:19, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." --E. W. Kenyon

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Does Not Have Many Churches 5/5 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Does Not Have Many Churches 5/5 Monday Meditation God does not have many churches, all of different names. There is no division in a true Pentecost or in true worship. "God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body... and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:13). -- Frank Bartelman (the historian of the Azusa Street Revival, 1906)

Delivered from Satan's Authority 5/2 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Delivered From Satan's Authority 5/2 Friday Faith Note carefully that we have been delivered out of the authority of Satan. He has no dominion over us... You are Redeemed. Satan has no more right to reign over you than the Pharaoh of Egypt had to reign over delivered Israel in Palestine. We have been delivered out of Satan's authority, and we have been translated over into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Our all is now in Christ, the Son of His love, in Whom we have our Redemption. It is ours just as the money you have in your pocketbook that you earned honestly is yours. Now this Redemption from Satan is a present-tense fact, for you have this Redemption now. --E.W. Kenyon

When Jesus Arose 5/1 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: When Jesus Arose 5/1 Thursday Thoughts When Jesus arose from the dead, He arose, not only because He had put sin away, but also because He had, as a substitute, conquered Satan. It was as though we, individually, had been the conquerors, just as though we had been there in that dark region and conquered Satan, stripped him of his authority and risen from the dead. Then Christ rose from the dead and Redemption became a settled fact, a closed issue. -- E.W. Kenyon

The Victory of the Resurrection 4/29 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Victory of the Resurrection 4/30 Wednesday Wisdom On this side of the cross is the victory of His resurrection, the marvel of all victories, the victory over death by which He took death captive. A living man, Himself, He came forth the Conqueror of death itself, having put all things under His feet. What an ascent into triumph! What a change in His consciousness! What a distinction between the Redeemer and the redeemed! No longer subject to death, but triumphing over it. No longer subject to humiliation, but now becoming the exalted One, bless God. -- John G. Lake

The Other Side of the Cross 4/29 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Other Side of the Cross 4/29 Tuesday Truth On this side of the cross we see all the marvel of opposites to what we see in the Christ on the other side of the cross. On the other side of the cross we see a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, bearing our sicknesses, carrying our sorrows. He had nowhere to lay his head. Poverty was one of His characteristics. Nobody ever stops to think, or rarely so, that He bore His poverty, and what for? "That through His poverty we might be made rich." (2 Cor. 8:9) He bore our sorrows, what for? That we through His sorrows might be made glad. (See Isa. 35:10, Psalm 30:11) He bore our suffering, for what? That we through His stripes might be healed (Isa. 53:5). He gave His life a sacrifice for sins, for what? That we should know no sin. (Heb. 10:12-18) Then having completed the redemption, or purchasing the redemption, the redemption becomes manifest this side of Calvary. -- John G. Lake

Let the Fire Fall 4/28 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Let the Fire Fall 4/28 Monday Meditation It is up to the Church of Jesus Christ and the ministry of the Son of God to demonstrate that there is a power in the blood of Jesus Christ to save men and heal men unto the uttermost -- not half-healed or half the people healed, but I pray and believe that God's time has come for God's challenge to mankind and that challenge of the Christian Church to the world is to come on, and if it is God, let the fire fall. -- John G. Lake

Sent Into the World 4/25 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Sent Into the World 4/25 Friday Faith 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

The Ultimate of the Gospel 4/24 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Ultimate of the Gospel 4/24 Thursday Thoughts This startles some people. But the ultimate of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the ultimate of the redemption of the Son of God, is to reproduce and make every man who is bound by sin and held by sensousness and enslaved by the flesh, like Himself in deed and in truth -- sons of God. -- John G. Lake.

What Things God Does 4/23 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: What Things God Does 4/23 Wednesday Wisdom Ah, what things God does for us when we only believe. He is so rich to all that call upon Him. What possibilities there are. . . if we would only believe in the divine presence, for God is here. The power of the Spirit is here... All things are possible to him that believeth... -- Smith Wigglesworth

Our Actual Father 4/22 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Our Actual Father 4/22 Tuesday Truth And not only are we sons, but we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. God is our actual Father. John 16:27, "For the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved me." If we are His children and if He is our Father, then he is responsible for us. If we take our place as sons, He is bound to take His place as a Father. --E. W. Kenyon

He Will Carry Us Through 4/21 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: He Will Carry Us Through 4/21 Monday Meditation We never know how weak we are until we are covered by His mighty strength -- not to fail -- but to stand for God and having done all to stand, Jesus will carry us through. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Good Friday Quote 4/18 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Good Friday Quote 4/18 Friday Faith The cross was two pieces of dead wood; and a helpless, unresisting Man was nailed to it; yet it was mightier than the world, and triumphed, and will ever triumph over it. -- Augustus William Hare

Plenty of Time 4/17 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Plenty of Time 4/17 Thursday Thoughts A woman said to me, "I haven't time to study the Word. I have so many things to do in my home." A year or two afterward she was taken very, very ill. Doctors said that an operation was the only hope, but that she had just very little chance -- one in one thousand. I said, "You have plenty of time now for studying the Bible." And she remembered. -- E.W. Kenyon.

What We Are in Christ 4/16 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: What We Are in Christ 4/16 Wednesday Wisdom The Scripture describes the Adversary, tells us much about him. But it tells us more of what we are in Christ; and as we come to know our place in Christ, our rights and privileges, we become very conscious of any division in our walk. We know the moment we step out of love, we step into No-Man's-Land where the Adversary gains ascendancy. --E. W. Kenyon

He Is With You 4/15 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: He Is With You 4/15 Tuesday Truth Matthew 28:20, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." He is with you in the living Word. He is with you in the presence of the mighty Spirit that lives in us. He hasn't left us alone, and He will not leave us alone. His ability is our ability; His strength is our strength. --E.W. Kenyon

A Christ-Man 4/14 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Christ-Man 4/14 Monday Meditation When one gives himself to the Lord and becomes a child of God -- a Christian -- he is a Christ-man. All that he does and all that he says from that time on should be the will and the words and the doings of Jesus, just as absolutely, just as entirely as He spoke and did the will of the Father. -- John G. Lake

Jesus Went Out to Preach 4/11 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Jesus Went Out to Preach 4/11 Friday Faith 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

Let God Have Your Future 4/10 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Let God Have Your Future 4/10 Thursday Thoughts "I have failed a thousand times," you say. Never mind, brother. . . Do you love to be beaten, or do you love to come into line with Him? . . . What is the desire of your heart? You may be sorry for the past, but let God have you for the future. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Power of the Name 4/9 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Power of the Name 4/9 Wednesday Wisdom Peter and John instantly grasped the significance of His Name. Passing into the temple they met a beggar-cripple... Peter commanded: "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." (Acts 3:6) ... He leaped to his feet, whole. A multitude rushed up. They demanded, "In what name, by what name, by what power have ye done this?" Peter and John replied, "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye slew, whom God raised up." Matchless name! The secret of power was in it. When they used the name, power struck. The dynamite of heaven exploded. --John G. Lake

The Church Has Been Robbed 4/8 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Church Has Been Robbed 4/8 Tuesday Truth We contend, by the Word of God, that the world and the Church have been robbed of the presence, power, and blessing of Jesus Christ -- a present Healer -- because the Church has falsely taught that the days of miracles are past. The days of miracles never passed, only in the soul that lost its faith in God. Where faith is, there ever will be the evidence of God's mighty power to save and heal. -- John G. Lake

By His Stripes 4/7 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: By His Stripes 4/7 Monday Meditation 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

The Word 4/4 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Word 4/4 Friday Faith The Word takes the place of the unseen Christ. Meditation in the Word is a visit with Him. The Word becomes a part of one by meditation. The Word living in us gets into our blood. --E.W. Kenyon

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: When Scripture Is Useless 4/3 Thursday Thoughts Mark 16:18, "They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." This means nothing until we act on it. "In My Name they shall cast out demons." The scripture means nothing until we act on it. John 15:16, "The whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name He will do it." This scripture is useless, dead, until we act on it. It is acting on the Word that builds faith in the believer. You may have all the promises; you may have the mighty Spirit dwelling in you; but if you do not act on the Word, God is impotent in you. Acting on the Word makes Jesus vitally real to the believer. (II Corinthians 5:7) --E.W. Kenyon

Intimacy With the Father 4/2 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Intimacy With the Father 4/2 Wednesday Wisdom What would it mean to have the Father and Jesus both living in your home? It would insure the rent, the taxes, and all the bills, because the Father would pay His way and enable you to meet every obligation. How intimate He wishes to become with us. (Matthew 6:31-33) --E. W. Kenyon

Able to Stand 4/1 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Able to Stand 4/1 Tuesday Truth These are days when Satan is very great, oh yes, he is tremendously busy seeking whom he may devour, but I am finding out this: that God has blessed me and has blessed us that we will be in a place where we are more than overcomers. It is to have a shout at the end off the fight -- to not only overcome, but to be able to stand when we have overcome, not fallen down. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Time Alone With God 3/31 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Time Alone With God 3/31 Monday Meditation If the Son of God found it necessary to pray all night alone with God, don't you think we ought to spend some time alone with God? -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

The Word Is Always Now 3/28 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Word Is Always Now 3/28 Friday Faith Here are some facts about the Word. The Word is always Now. It has been, it is, and it will be, the voice of God. It is never old. It is always fresh and new. To the heart that is in fellowship with the Father, the Word is a present-tense, living voice from heaven. The Word is like its Author: Eternal, Unchanging, Living. --E. W. Kenyon

I Am a Coinqueror 3/27 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: I Am a Conqueror 3/27 Thursday Thoughts When one becomes God-inside minded, when he takes for granted that "greater is He that is in him than he that is in the world," he goes out and faces life's problems with the sense of a conqueror. This is almost an unknown practice in the church for men and women to say in every crisis of their life, "I am a conqueror; I am more than a victor, because the Creator dwells in me. He can put me over. He can make me a success. I can't fail." --E.W. Kenyon

A Good-Sized God 3/26 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Good-Sized God 3/26 Wednesday Wisdom If any saint would dare to say, "I am done with disease and sickness; I will never be sick again," 90 percent of you would say, "Keep your eye on that person. He will be sick in a week. The devil sure will get them." You believe the devil is bigger than God. Your God is about one-and-a-half inches high, and the devil is one-and-a-half feet high. What you need to do is to change gods and change gods quick. There have been only a few folks that had a good-sized God. -- John G. Lake

Who's Bigger? Devil or God? 3/25 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Who's Bigger? Devil or God? 3/25 Tuesday Truth Another man said, "Brother, I believe in the dual nature. I believe that when I would do good, evil is always present with me, and I thank God that evil is always there." You live it and believe it, and God cannot do anything with you. You magnify failure and you deify failure until to the majority of you the devil is bigger than God. And you are more afraid of the devil than you are of God. You have more reverence for the devil than you have for God. -- John G. Lake

The Triple Curse 3/24 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Triple Curse 3/24 Monday Meditation Sin, sickness, and death are doomed -- doomed to death by the decree of Christ Jesus. Sin, sickness, and death are the devil's triumvirate -- the triple curse. Heaven is the absence of this triple curse -- heaven is sinlessness, sicklessness, and deathlessness. This is the ultimate of Christ's redemption. -- John G. Lake

Rise Up 3/21 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Rise Up 3/21 Friday Faith We are living in the last days, and there has got to be a higher standard for the [church]. Christ is coming, and we cannot continue in the old rut. God is sifting us today, and we have to rise above errors; we have to rise up and go forward. By the grace of God, we wil. Praise His name! -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Decline in the Church 3/20 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Decline in the Church 3/20 Thursday Thoughts Every decline that has followed the history of the Christian Church has first had its inception when men began to lay down on the subject of the Holy Ghost. If you want to spell death to an organization that is now alive spiritually, all you have to do is to get them to lay down on the subject of the necessity of the Holy Ghost and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. There will soon be nothing left but a corpse. That is the history of Christianity. -- John G. Lake

Joy in the Morning 3/19 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Joy in the Morning 3/19 Wednesday Wisdom Ah yes, the bitterness may come at night, but joy will come in the morning, Hallelujah! So many believers never look up. Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "...Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me" (John 11:41). He cried with a loud voice, "...Lazarus, come forth" (v. 43). Beloved, God wants us to have some resurrection touch about us. We may enter into things that will bring us sorrow and trouble, but through them God will bring us to a deeper knowledge of Himself. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Dare to Do Exploits 3/18 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Dare To Do Exploits 3/18 Tuesday Truth Lep's Faith Quotes ministry is in its 20th year. I started with emailing a quote to a friend every weekday, which we then discussed by email. After he and I spoke at a men's retreat in 2007, a few other men joined the email discussion group. I currently post in an email group, on a blog site, two places on Facebook, two groups in Gab.com, and on Lordsbook.com. - - - - - - - - - You have seen what you are in Christ, now take your place as a prayer warrior. Make hell fear you. Make heaven glad. Fill hearts of men with joy witnessing your winning prayer life. Healing the sick is His will. Saving the lost is His will. Breaking Satan's dominion over men is His will. Praying for ministers and missionaries is His will... Now swing free in your prayer life. Be big! Honor the Word. Dare to do exploits for Him. -- E. W. Kenyon

A Sound Mind 3/17 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Sound Mind 3/17 Monday Meditation "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7) The Spirit of Power is the Holy Ghost, bless God. And not only of power, but of love and of a sound mind -- not craziness and insanity, but a sound mind by which you can look in the face of the devil and laugh. -- John G. Lake

Only Believe! 3/12 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Only Believe! 3/12 Wednesday Wisdom (I will not be posting Thursday or Friday of this week.) Only believe! Only believe! All things are possible, only believe. There is something very remarkable about that chorus. God wants to impress it so deeply on our hearts tonight that we may in our corners, rooms, private places, get so engrossed in the fact with this divine truth that if we will only believe He can get in us and out of us for others what otherwise would never be possible. Oh, for this to lay hold of us tonight that God comes to us afresh and says, "Only believe." -- Smith Wigglesworth

When God Talks to You 3/11 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: When God Talks to You 3/11 Tuesday Truth (I will not be posting Thursday or Friday this week.) When God talks to you, the message agrees with the written Word. The Holy Spirit never says anything that doesn't correspond with the Word. A message that comes from heaven must correspond with the Word; if it is otherwise, do not accept it. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

We Are In the ABC Class 3/10 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: We Are in the ABC Class 3/10 Monday Meditation Supposing two men came to the altar. One is sick and lame; the other is a sinner. Suppose they knelt at the altar together. The sinners says, "I want to find the Lord." Everyone in the house will immediately lend the love of their heart and the faith of their soul to help him touch God. But the lame fellow says, "I have a lame leg." Or "My spine is injured. I want healing." Instead of everybody lending their love and faith in the same way to that man, everybody puts up a question mark. That comes because of the fact that we are instructed on the Word of God concerning the salvation of the soul, but our education concerning sickness and His desire and willingness to heal has been neglected. We have gone to the eighth grade or the tenth grade or the University on the subject of salvation, but on the subject of healing we are in the ABC class. -- John G. Lake I will not be posting for Thursday and Friday this week.

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
