A Wigglesworth Story 11/10 Thurs. thoughts

A woman came to me in the city of Liverpool and said, "I would like you to help me. I wish you would join me in prayer. My husband is a drunkard and every night comes into the home under the influence of drink. Won't you join me in prayer for him?" I said to the woman, "Have you a handkerchief?" She took out a handkerchief and I prayed over it and told het to lay it on the pillow of the drunken man. He came home that night and laid his head on the pillow in which this handkerchief was tucked. He laid his head on more than the pillow that night. He laid his head on the promise of God. In Mark 11:24, we read: . . . What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.




The next morning the man got up and called at the first saloon that he had to pass on his way to work and ordered some beer. He tasted it and said to the bartender, "You have put some poison in this beer." He could not drink it, and went on to the next saloon and ordered some more beer. (This occurs a total of five times before and after work.) . . . He went to his home and told his wife what had happened and said, "It seems as though all the fellows have agreed to poison me." His wife said to him, "Can't you see the hand of the Lord in this, that He is making you dislike the stuff that has been your ruin?" This word brought conviction to the man's heart and he came to the meeting and got saved. The Lord has still power to set the captives free.

Being Born of God 11/9 Wed. wisdom

"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." What is the outcome of being born of God? God's life, God's truth, God's walk, God's communion, fellowship, oneness, like-mindedness. All that pertaineth to holiness, righteousness and truth comes forth out of this new birth unto righteousness. And in it, through it, and by it we have a perfect regenerated position just as we have come into light through this.

So Built Up 11/8 Tuesday truth

God wants us all to be so built up in truth, righteousness, and the life of God that every person we come in contact with may know of a truth that we are of God.  And we who are of God can assure our hearts before Him, and we can have perfect confidence.

Wanting God! 11/7 Monday meditation

Wanting God! Wanting fellowship in the Spirit! Wanting the walk with Him! Wanting communion with Him! Everything else is no good. You want the association with God, and God says, "I will come and walk with you. I will sup with you and you with Me, and I will live in you." A joyful hallelujah! Attaining to a spiritual majority, a fulness of Christ, a place where God becomes the perfect Father and the Holy Ghost has a rightful place now as never before.

Bride and Bridegroom 11/4 Friday faith

"As He is, so are we in this world."  What a word!  Who dare believe it?  God only can take up on to such heights and depths and lengths and breadths in the Spirit.  Brother, sister, are you prepared to go all the way?  Are you willing for heights and depths and lengths and breadths?  Are you willing for your heart to have only one attraction?  Are you willing to have only one lover?  Are you willing for Him to become the very perfect Bridegroom?  For I understand the more bride-like we are, the more we love to hear the Bridegroom's voice, and the less bride-like we are, the less we long to His Word.  If you cannot rest without it, if it becomes your meat day and night, if you eat and drink of it, His life will be in you and when He appears you will go.  Help us, Jesus!

The Future 11/3 Thursday thoughts

The future is what you are today.   The future is not what you are going to be tomorrow.  This is the day when God makes the future possible.  When God can get something through you today, tomorrow is filled with further illumination of God's possibility for you.

A Quenchless Thirst 11/2 Wed. wisdom

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.
