Not a model of good sentence structure, but pretty deep for a man who started working when he was 7 and whose wife taught him to read.
You will never get to know God better by testimony -- testimony should always come through the Word. You will not get to know God better by prayer -- prayer has to come out of the Word. The Word is the only thing that reveals God and is going to be helpful in the world through you in that when the breath and the presence of God come -- the executive of God the Father and the Son -- the Holy Ghost speaks expressively [through the Word] according to the mind of the Father and the Son and so when you are filled with the Holy Ghost, then the breath -- the power -- the unction; the fire takes hold of the Word of life which is Christ, and out of you flow the rivers, and God wants to fill us with that divine power, that out of us shall flow rivers.

In or Not? 7/29 Friday Faith
Paul goes so far as to say that some people have very strange ideas of who will be ready for the coming of the Kingdom. All in Christ will be ready, and you have got to decide whether you are in that or not. The Scripture says in the first verse of Romans eighth chapter:
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
If you are there -- Praise the Lord! That is a good position. I pray the Lord that He will bring us all into that place -- what a wonder it will be.

Big or Little? 7/26 Thursday Thoughts
If you have a great God, you will have a little devil; if you have a big devil, you will have a little God, so may the Lord let us see that we must be so full of the order of the Spirit of life that we are always overcoming him which had the power of death -- even the devil.

Power of God 7/25 Wednesday Wisdom
I hope nobody looks to Wigglesworth as a model of good grammar and sentence structure. Just try to grasp the idea.
We ought to be so full of the manifestation of the power of God that in the Name of Jesus we can absolutely destroy the power of Satan. We are in the world -- not of it. He overcame it and to subdue it unto God we are in the world -- overcomers. We are nothing but in Christ we are more than conquerors through the blood -- more than a match for satanic powers on every line and may the Lord so let us see that we must be loosed from ourselves, for if you examine yourself you will be natural; but if you look at God, you will be supernatural.

Former and Latter Rain 7/24 Tuesday Truth
There is a dry condition existing everywhere today. I find it all over. People are longing for a fulness. There never was such a cry, and beloved, it is because the Scriptures are being fulfilled. The former rain fell in a very blessed way, clothing the apostles with power, and the Acts of the Apostles came forth because they dared to act. We see the deliverance of the captive; the mightiness flowing through like a river till thousands and tens of thousands were saved by the power of the former rain which was by the Spirit; but in these last days God will pour out upon all flesh the Latter Rain, and I believe all flesh will feel the effects of it. It will not be possible for anyone to miss it. they may refuse it; but it will be there for the taking, and I believe God would have us to see that the Later Rain has begun to fall.

A God of Immensity 7/23 Monday Meditation
I tell you when we get to see that God Almighty would always bring in [rein in] the weaknesses with His power; when we see that when He has a plan for us, and 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.

No Room for Weakness 7/20 Friday Faith
God has for us wonderful things. Many days in the past have been wonderful, but no day is like the present. The Holy Ghost lifting us into His presence, the power flowing, our whole being flaming with the glory of God. Here is God's divine plan for humanity when the Holy Ghost has come. Today we are nearer the goal, the vision is clearer, the Holy Ghost bringing us into the treasure of the Most High. . . There is no room for weakness if we see this mighty incoming life through the Spirit.
