Jou 6/23 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Joy 6/23 Tuesday Truth Joy is something that only believers have. The world may have happiness. They find that in their surroundings, their environment. But joy is a fruit of faith. It is a fruit that comes from the recreated spirit . . . The believer should never allow anything to rob him of his joy. -- E.W. Kenyon.

When We Stop Going Forward 6/22 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: When We Stop Going Forward 6/22 Monday Meditation Beloved, whenever we stop going forward, we go to milling around. When an individual stops going forward for God, he begins to go in a circle, just as a man when lost in a forest ceases to go straight forward but wanders in a circle. So it was with the early church. When they ceased to go forward, they started wandering in a circle and became lost in the Dark Ages. The Devil... removed the cross, offering them titles, positions, honor, salaries, profits of every kind -- and they fell for it. They no longer needed to look for God for their protection and support... And so it is with our great church bodies of today. History repeats itself in every movement through human weakness and failure. -- Frank Bartleman (historian of the Azusa Revival)

Like a Sponge 6/19 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Like a Sponge 6/19 Friday Faith ...Believe it, accept it, and get more of Jesus. If we take in and take in and do not give out, we are like a sponge that needs to be squeezed. Let us get so full that it will run right out through us, and not absorb and absorb, and never give out. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

We Tie God's Hands 6/18 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: We Tie God's Hands 6/18 Thursday Thoughts "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

Forgive and Forget 6/17 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Forgive and Forget 6/17 Wednesday Wisdom I look up to the Father and say, "Father, forgive me for doing that thing." And the moment I do, He forgives me. It is wiped out as though it had never been. That instant that I confess it and tell the Father of it, Jesus says, "Lay that to My account." Notice that the Father has no memory of our past mistakes and failures. You must forget them too. -- E. W. Kenyon.

Lift Up Jesus 6/16 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Lift Up Jesus 6/16 Tuesday Truth There never was such a responsibility on the people of God as there is today. There never was such a time for Jesus Christ to be lifted up as He is today. Gods of science and nature and other gods are on the earth today. At a gathering of 23 ministers in Boston, only three accepted the divinity of Christ. We have to drop all side issues and hobbies, everything else but Jesus; we must lift up Jesus. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter (1844-1924)

Something Wonderful 6/25 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Something Wonderful 6/15 Monday Meditation All heaven is waiting is hear the shout, "Go forth and meet her." Something wonderful is going to take place soon. The Mighty God, who inhabits eternity, and all the heavenly hosts have been waiting thousands of years for this great event: for the mystical body to come together -- Christ our living Head, and the bride, the living body -- for the Marriage of the Son of God, the Great Jehovah. "For the marriage of the Lamb is come" (Rev. 19:7). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Be As One Family 6/12 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Be As One Family 6/12 Friday Faith This is another favorite quote that I repeat annually. 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, historian of the Azusa Street Revival

Love Walking 6/11 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Love Walking 6/11 Thursday Thoughts As we see Jesus walk in His earth walk, we see love walking. Love healed the sick. Love fed the hungry. It was love at work; it was God in Christ unveiling Himself. Love is the dominant law of God. Romans 13:10, "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; love therefore is the fulfillment of the law." --E. W. Kenyon

The Chief Danger of Modern Christianity 6/10 Wednesday Wisdom

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Chief Danger to Modern Christianity 6/10 Wednesday Wisdom William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, died in 1912. Consider his prophetic prediction for the twentieth century: “The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.”

Pilgrims and Strangers 6/9 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Pilgrims and Strangers 6/9 Tuesday Truth I may not be able to post every day this week. 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

The Father's Heart 6/8 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Father's Heart 6/8 Monday Meditation I may not be able to post daily this week. The Jews called Him God, and Jesus called Him Father. The Church today calls Him God. How few ever intelligently call Him Father. How lonesome He must be. He is a Father God with a Father heart, and His people call Him God -- just "Mr. God," like they should speak of a neighbor. Let us learn the secret of His Father heart. -- E.W. Kenyon.

God Sends His Power 6/5 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Sends His Powe r 6/5 Friday Faith As we lift up Jesus, God sends His power through us, as He did in apostolic days. Let us rise and shine and give God the glory. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

God Has Forgiven and Forgotten 6/4 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: God Has Forgiven and Forgotten 6/4 Thursday Thoughts 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 Wednesday Wisdom

He'll Never Forget to Keep Me 6/3 Wednesday Wisdom 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 to 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

The Church's Mistaken Idea 6/2 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: The Church's Mistaken Idea 6/2 Tuesday Truth The church, since her fall in the early centuries, has had an altogether mistaken idea of her calling and salvation. All believers are called to a 100 percent consecration. God doesn't have two standards of consecration -- one for the foreign missionary, and another for the Christian at home. We cannot find it in the Bible. One is called to consecrate his all as well as the other, as God's stewards in their own places and callings. It takes three to make a missionary. One goes, one prays, and one gives. -- Frank Bartleman
