But Jesus was sent to bear the infirmities and the afflictions of the people and to destroy the works of the devil. He said that the thief (which is the devil) cometh to steal and to kill and to destroy, "...I am come that they might have life, and... have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). I maintain that God wishes all His people to have the life more abundant. We have the remedy for all sickness in the Word of God! Jesus paid the full price and the full redemption for every need, and where sin abounds, grace can come in and much more abound, and dispel all the sickness.

No Room to Boast 9/10 Monday Meditation
There is no room for anyone to boast, and the man who goes about saying, "Look at me for I am somebody," is of no value whatever. God is done with that man altogether. He will have a people to glorify Him... He has to grind us many times to get us where He can use us.

The Power of the Holy Ghost 9/6 Thursday Thoughts
In Acts 1:8 we read: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..."
Oh, the power of the Holy Ghost! The power that quickens, that reveals, and prevails! I love to think that Jesus wanted all His people to have power, that He wanted all men to be overcomers. Nothing but this power will do it. Power over sin, power over sickness, power over the devil, power over all the powers of the devil!

No Idea of What God Has For Us! 9/5 Wednesday Wisdom
(continuing from Tuesday)
In a place in England I was dealing on the lines of faith and what would take place if we believed God. Many things happened... It appeared one man who worked in the colliery [coal mines] had heard me. He was in trouble with a stiff knee. He said to his wife, "I cannot help but think every day that that message of Wigglesworth's was to stir us to do something. I cannot get away from it. All the men in the pit know how I walk with a stiff knee, and you know how you have wrapped it around with yards of flannel. Well, I am going to act. You have to be the congregation." He got his wife in front of him. "I am going to act and do just as Wigglesworth did." He got hold of his leg unmercifully, saying, "Come out, you devils, come out! In the name of Jesus. Now, Jesus, help me. Come out, you devils, come out." Then he said, "Wife, they are gone! Wife, they are gone. This is too good. I am going to act now." So he went to his place of worship and all the collier boys were there. It was a prayer meeting. As he told them this story these men became delighted. They said, "Jack, come over here and help me." And Jack went. As soon as he was through in one home he was invited to another, loosing these people of the pains they had gotten in the colliery.
Ah, brothers and sisters, we have no idea what God has for us if we will only begin!

When Will You Begin? 9/4 Tuesday Truth
God wants manifestation and He wants His glory to be seen. He wants us all to be filled with that line of thought that He can look upon us and delight in us subduing the world unto Him. And so you are going to miss a great deal if you don't begin to act. But once you begin to act in the order of God, you will find that God establishes your faith and from that day starts you on the line of the promises. When will you begin? (to be continued)

Divine Flow of Eternal Power 9/3 Monday Meditation
I am very interested in scenery. When I was in Switzerland I wouldn't be satisfied till I went to the top of the mountain, though I like the valleys also. On the summit of the mountain the sun beats on the snow and sends the water trickling down the mountains right through to the meadows. Go there and see if you can stop it. Just so in the spiritual. God begins with the divine flow of His eternal power which is the Holy Ghost, and you cannot stop it.
