The Man With Christ in Him 12/10 Tuesday Truth

The man with Christ in him, the Holy Ghost, is greater than any other power in the world.  All other natural and evil powers are less than God, even Satan himself is a lesser power.   Man with God in him is greater than Satan.  This is the reason that God says to the believer, he shall cast out devils.  "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (I John 4:4).

Something Will Happen Then 12/9 Monday Meditation

God's purposes come to pass when your heart and mine gets the real God cry, and the real God prayer comes into our spirits and the real God yearning gets our natures.  Something is going to happen then.

Bring Our Hearts Back 12/6 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.

The Sanest Man 12/5 Thursday Thoughts

The sanest man is the man that believes God and stands on His promises and knows the secret of His power, receives the Holy Ghost and gives Him sway in his life and goes out in the name of the Lord Jesus to command the will of God and bring it to pass in the world.

A Faith Triumphant 12/4 Wednesday Wisdom

Your spirit life is fruitful and built up and enriched by communion with the Father and by reading His Word.  And your spirit becomes strong and vigorous.  There issues from it a faith that is triumphant and creative.  I venture to say this:  The men and women who are weak in faith, that once were mighty in faith, are so because they have stopped feeding on the Word of God and stopped close, intimate fellowship with the Father.

Quotes from John G. Lake 12/3 Tuesday Truth

I have finished the quotes from Advanced Bible Studies by E. W. Kenyon.  I am switching now to quotes from the complete sermons of John G. Lake (1870-1935).  It's been four years since I did a series of Lake's quotes.  My purpose in Lep's Faith Quotes is to quote from Pentecostal pioneers whom the reader will not encounter in modern devotionals.  John G. Lake was one of the best known healing evangelists a century ago, with a ministry in South Africa and America.  He eventually located his ministry in Spokane, Washington.  To learn more, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Lake. 

In those early centuries of Christianity, Christianity did not go into the world apologizing.  It went to slay the powers of darkness and undo the works of the devil, and it lived in holy triumph.

More Than a Conqueror 12/2 Monday Meditation

Just as Jesus dared to say, "I am the vine, and ye are the branches"; or, "I am the light of this world"; you say, "I am what He says I am."  More than even that you can say, "I can do what He says I can do."
Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things in him who strengthenth me."
You see, we are moving out of the realm of weakness into the realm of victory; and you can say, "I am more than a conqueror, for I am complete in Him who is the head of all principalities."
