Light of Life 3/2 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Light of Life 3/2 Monday Meditation I have found that Light of Life. I am no longer walking in the darkness of sense knowledge [Kenyon's term for believing only what you can see]. I am no longer crippled by my inferiority complex or my sense of unworthiness. I know that I am a son beloved; that I have my place in the Father's presence. --E.W. Kenyon

We Have Tried 2/27 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: We Have Tried 2/27 Friday Faith We have tried to conquer the adversary with our own strength. We have tried to overcome temptation with our own wills. That is unnecessary, for His will has become ours; His sufficiency is ours; His ability is ours. -- E.W. Kenyon.

His Tender Compassiion 2.25 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: His Tender Compassion 2/25 Wednesday Wisdom Many things may happen in our lives to show us how depraved we are by nature, but when the veil is lifted we see how merciful and tender God is. His tender compassion is over us all the time. -- Smith Wigglesworth

A Recreated Spirit 2/24 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Recreated Spirit 2/24 Tuesday Truth Then the old bondage of fear and want and disease is gone. You have another spirit now, a recreated spirit. God is no longer God to you: He is your Father, and as a Father, He is your Lover and Caretaker. You aren't afraid of anything now. You are absolutely fearless, and now you "put up a solid front" before all your enemies. You lift your banner; you shout His praises; you stand complete in Him over every circumstance and every attack of the enemy. -- E.W. Kenyon.

We Talk Things Over With Him 2/23 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: We Talk Things Over With Him 2/23 Monday Meditation And if we are in His will, then we are certain that our prayers are answered. We don't try to force Him to answer them. We don't tease Him like some children do their parents until they wear their parents out. No. We come as intelligent men and women, grown up in Christ, and take our place, bearing His burdens, fellowshipping His purposes in saving the world. We come into the throne room, that room of love gifts, into the very presence of the Father, and we talk things over with Him. --E.W. Kenyon

Inside of Me 2/20 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Inside of Me 2/20 Friday Faith Israel could conquer all the armies that came against them, for God was with them. How much more can God do through us when we are conscious of His indwelling Presence. When things press hard, we whisper softly, "He is inside of me, and the God inside of me is mightier than all the forces that can come against me." So we rest quietly. -- E.W. Kenyon.

God Has a Plan 2/19 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Has a Real Plan 2/19 Thursday Thoughts This Jesus is just the same today, and He says to you, "I will, be thou clean." He has an overflowing cup for thee, and fulness of life. He will meet you in your absolute helplessness. All thing are possible if you will only believe. God has a real plan. It is so simple. Just come to Jesus. You will find Him just the same as He was in days of old. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Was Jesus Willing? 2/18 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Was Jesus Willing? 2/18 Wednesday Wisdom The man cried, "Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean" (Matthew 8:2). Was Jesus willing? You will never find Jesus missing an opportunity of doing good. You will find that He is always more willing to work than we are to give Him an opportunity to work. The trouble is, we do not come to Him, we do not ask Him for what He is more than willing to give. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Be a Heavenly People 2/17 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Be a Heavenly People 2/17 Tuesday Truth If you are living an earthly life, all taken up with sensual things, and expect things from heaven, they will never come. God wants us to be a heavenly people, seated with Him in the heavenlies, and laying hold of all the things in heaven that are at our disposal. -- Smith Wigglesworth

I Am Your Father 2/16 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: I Am Your Father 2/16 Monday Meditation Now notice this sentence. "I am with thee." He is in the home with you; He is in the shop with you; He is in the school with you. "Fear thou not for I am God Almighty, Creator of the Universe. I am your Father; I am watching over you. Be not dismayed, for I am thy God." I know of no other statement in Scripture that thrills me like that. "I am thy God -- thy Father-God, the strength of your life, your wisdom, your ability. I am your 'bread provider.' I am your caretaker. I am all you need." -- E.W. Kenyon.

Bring Our Hearts Back 2/13 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Bring Our Hearts Back 2/13 Friday Faith At the end of the first 300 years of the Christian era, there were millions of Christians. Christianity was an aggressive power. Christianity went into the heart of heathendom to undo their superstitions, to break down their psychological forces, to leave the consciousness of Jesus Christ in the heart, to heal the sick, to raise the dead. Oh, God in heaven, bring our hearts back to it. Christianity was a conquering force. -- John G. Lake

A Fleck of Dirt 2/12 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Fleck of Dirt 2/12 Thursday Thoughts [I posted this two years ago. I usually wait longer before reposting, but this caught my eye today.] One day my Reo car stopped right in traffic. A young lady sat with Mrs. Lake and she said, "Let me try it." She worked the accelerator and it wouldn't work. She said, "Wait a moment." I jumped out of the car and I raised the hood. She said, "I can tell you where it is." She just opened up the distributor, and she said, "One of those points has got a fleck of dirt on it." She brushed it off with her handkerchief and put it on again. The car started right off. That point of the distributor had some little dust, something under it, some little corroding some way that just broke the current and it was a delicate little thing, it didn't take much. It doesn't take much to break the connection of your spirit and His. God is a Spirit. You are a spirit. And something breaks the connection and the power no longer flows through. --John G. Lake

A Partaker of God's Very Nature 2/11 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Partaker of God's Very Nature 2/11 Wednesday Wisdom 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 member 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

A Quenchless Thirst 2/10 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Quenchless Thirst 2/10 Tuesday Truth God, just come and make me so that there is not a possibility for me to ever be satisfied but to have a quenchless thirst for the living God! And then I shall not be overtaken. Then I shall be ready. Then I shall have eyes which beam, filled with the extremity of delight looking at the Master. -- Smith Wigglesworth

What Do You Have? 2/9 Monday Metitation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: What Do You Have? 2/9 Monday Meditation What do you have? A well of water? That is good as far as it goes. But Christ wants to see a plentiful supply of the river of the Holy Ghost flowing through you. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Not Acting, But Being 2/6 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Not Acting, But Being 2/6 Friday Faith 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 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Stand Still 2/5 Thursday Thoughts 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

God Is My Own Father 2/4 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Is My Own Father 2/4 Wednesday Wisdom 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

God Can Transform You 2/3 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Can Transform You 2/3 Tuesday Truth (Post #3700 !!!) God is able to so transform you and change you, that all the old order has to go before God's new order. Do you think that God will make you to be a failure? God never made man to be a failure. He made man to be a son, to walk the earth in the power of the Spirit, master over the flesh and the devil, until nothing arises within him except that which will magnify and glorify the Lord. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Keep These Things in Memory 2/2 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Keep These Things in Memory 2/2 Monday Meditation Do you keep in memory how God has been gracious in the past? God has done wonderful things for all of us. If we keep these things in memory we shall become strong in faith. We should be able to defy Satan in everything. Remember all the way the Lord has led. -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Word Prevails 1/30 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Word Prevails 1/30 Friday Faith The Word at last prevails. We are what He says we are. We can do what He says we can do. He is what He says He is, and no Word from Him is void of ability to make good in us. -- E.W. Kenyon.

People Who Are Really Glad 1/29 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: People Who Are Really Glad 1/29 Thursday Thoughts 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 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Let God Loose! 1/28 Wednesday Wisdom This is one of my all-time favorite quotes. I usually repeat it annually. I used it for a message in church once. 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 it." ...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

My Life of Prayer 1/27 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: My Life of Prayer 1/27 Tuesday Truth I remember that years ago I was praying for money to meet our rent bill. I had prayed. Then I went out on the street and I began to wonder how I could get it. Before I realized it I had destroyed my prayer. I had nullified the Word. I came to myself, asked for forgiveness, and then began to thank Him for it. I held myself steady and kept my heart singing songs of victory. That was the beginning of my life of prayer. - E. W. Kenyon.

God's Word Is Everlasting 1/26 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God's Word Is Everlasting 1/26 Monday Meditation God's Word is from everlasting to everlasting. His Word cannot fail. God's Word is true and when we rest in the fact of its truth, what mighty results we can get. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Fellowship Restored 1/23 Friday Faith

He is always Righteous. He can always plead our case. The instant we ask the Father's forgiveness, Jesus takes up our case before the Father and our fellowship is restored. There is no need of walking in broken fellowship a minute after you have committed sin. The Devil is the author of that sin. Then to walk on in broken fellowship, grieving over your blunder, is only adding joy and glory to the Devil. The instant you have done wrong and your fellowship is impaired, ask the Father's forgiveness and go on in fellowship with him. 1 John 1:9, 2:1-1 --E.W. Kenyon

Prayer Alone Gives Success 1/22 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Prayer Alone Gives Success 1/22 Thursday Thoughts Preaching and personal work are God-honored and blessed vocations or ministries, but prayer is the foundation of it all. A man might preach with the eloquence of a Beecher and be the most skilled of diplomats as a soul winner, but he will fall short of his ministry in both fields if he isn't backed up by the prayer life. The failure of all Christian enterprises is a prayer failure. Prayer alone gives success. -- E. W. Kenyon.

Needy Places 1/21 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Needy Places 1/21 Wednesday Wisdom You say, "I am in a needy place." It is in needy places that God delights to work. For three days the people that were with Christ were without food, and He asked Philip, "From whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?" That was a hard place for Philip, but not for Jesus, for He knew perfectly what He would do. The hard place is where He delights to show forth His miraculous power. And how fully was the need provided for. Bread enough and to spare! -- Smith Wigglesworth

The Purpose of Salvation (pt. 2) 1/20 Tuesday Truth

SALVATION has so many TREASURES and FACETS to it for you to DISCOVER and APPROPRIATE into your life: HEALING, DELIVERANCE, THE MIND OF CHRIST, DEEP SPIRITUAL CONNECTION, LEARNING TO HEAR MY VOICE, PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FATHER, REVELATION OF MYSTERIES FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT, and CALLING FORTH THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY ARE. (Just to mention a few!) Don’t PUT OFF seeking spirituality as something for Heaven. When you have entered into My Blood sacrifice for your sins and you have made Me your Lord and Life-source, you have stepped into ETERNAL LIFE. It begins NOW and your UNION with Me will continue GROWING through all of eternity. Don’t think of SALVATION as something you need when you DIE because SALVATION’S PURPOSE is to bring you FULLY TO LIFE here on earth as well as in Heaven.” --Diana Larkin (emphasis hers)

The Purpose of Salvation 1/19 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Purpose of Salvation 1/19 Monday Meditation Today's and tomorrow's quotes were suggested to me by Bob, the longest-time reader (20 years) of Lep's Faith Quotes. So many in My Church have been taught that the PURPOSE OF SALVATION is to make sure that you go to Heaven when you die. SALVATION does guarantee that you will be with Me FOREVER, whether your mortal body is ALIVE or has DIED, but that making sure you are with Me when your body dies should NOT BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF SALVATION. The PURPOSE OF SALVATION was to RESTORE YOU TO LIFE—FULLNESS OF LIFE, ABUNDANT LIVING, and THE RESTORATION OF ALL THAT WAS LOST when sin entered the world. SALVATION is SO MUCH MORE than a TICKET to HEAVEN—it is the ASSURANCE of LIFE LIVED IN UNION WITH ME—whether on earth or in Heaven. --Diana Larkin (emphasis hers)

Power of God 1/16 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Power of God 1/16 Friday Faith The Church in general is very clear in her faith on the subject of salvation through the sacrifice of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Christian world in general, regardless of their personal state of salvation, have a general faith and belief of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. But they are ever in doubt and very inexperienced in the power of God. -- John G. Lake.

The Power of God 1/15 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Power of God 1/15 Thursday Thoughts The power of God is beyond all our conception. The trouble is that we do not have the power of God in a full manifestation because of our finite thoughts, but as we go on and let God have His way, there is no limit to what our limitless God will do in response to a limitless faith. But you will never get anywhere except [unless] you are in constant pursuit of all the power of God. -- Smith Wigglesworth

When We Possess Nothing 1/14 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: When We Possess Nothing 1/14 Wednesday Wisdom 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 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Having Your "I" Knocked Out 1/13 Tuesday Truth 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

Defeated With Your Own Words 1/12 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTE: Defeated With Your Own Words 1/12 Monday Meditation You said that you could not, and the moment that you said it you were whipped. You said you did not have faith, and doubt arose like a giant and bound you. You are imprisoned with your own words. You talked failure and failure held you in bondage. Prov. 6:2: "Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth. Thou art taken (captive) with the words of thy mouth." Few of us realize that our words dominate us. A young man said, "I was never whipped until I confessed I was whipped." Another said, "The moment I began to make a bold, confident confession, a new courage that I had never known took possession of me." E.W. Kenyon

You Can't Be Conquered 1/9 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: You Can't Be Conquered 1/9 Friday Faith 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 1/9 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Pure Right Through 1/8 Thursday Thoughts 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

The Church Has Been Negligent 1/5 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Church Has Been Negligent 1/5 Tuesday Truth This marks my twentieth year of posting Lep's Faith Quotes. I currently post them in six locations on the web and in an email group. I take my quotes from volumes of the complete sermons and writings of four "Pentecostal pioneers" of the early 20th Century who are seldom quoted nowadays. I read the books long ago and marked hundreds of quotes in each book which can stand alone without the context of the sermons. The Church is the ministering presence of the Son of God in the world. The Church is the generating agency of the power of God in the world. The Church has been negligent in one great trust. She has not prayed the power of God out of heaven. -- John G. Lake

Parallel With the World 1/5 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Parallel With the World 1/5 Monday Meditation I do not know what your state of grace is -- whether you are saved or not; but it is an awful thing for me to see people, who profess to be Christian, lifeless and powerless, and in a place where their lives are so parallel with the world's that it is difficult to discriminate which place they are in, whether in the flesh or in the Spirit. Many people live in the place which is described to us by Paul in Romans 7:25: ...with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin. -- Smith Wigglesworth
