Be of One Accord 5/13 Friday Faith

If you are seeking the baptism [of the Holy Spirit], get saved first, get filled with joy, get off the judgment seat, and be of one accord, of one mind, praising the Lord, just as the early believers were. (See Acts 1:14; 2:1). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Will You Turn Back? 5/12 Thursday Thoughts

The people in Jesus' day began to murmur and grumble at they do today. God knows when people grumble. Many thousands of those people who were saved and had had all those blessings turned away and never followed the Son of God anymore. Jesus looked at the few who were left, and His heart must have been broken for those who were so blind. He asked His disciples, "Will you also go away?" He is saying the same thing to us. So many Christians have backslidden and are going off into delusions. It is the sifting time as never before. God is looking at us, especially those who are baptized in the Spirit. He asks, "Will you also forsake Me? Will you also turn back, or will you go forward all the way?" Peter's answer was, "To whom shall we go?" (John 6:68). We cannot find a better way... "Thou hast the words of eternal life" (v. 68). We don't guess -- 'we believe and are sure that thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God' (v. 69)." -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

In the Last Days 5/6 Friday Faith

I will not be posting Monday, May 9, through Wednesday, May 11. According to God's Word, the time of trouble, such as men have never seen or known, or ever will see again (Matth. 24:21), has already commenced and will end with the battle of the Great God. We are in the last days of His preparation; Jesus is coming soon for His bride (1 Thess. 4:16-17), and she is getting ready. He is sending His angels, His servants, with the sound of a trumpet, calling the elect together, so that we may all be baptized with one faith, one Spirit, and one mind; so that we may be among the wise, who will "shine as the brightness of the firmament" (Dan. 12:3). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Goodness of God 5/5 Thursday Thoughts

I will not be posting Monday - Wednesday, May 9-11. There is nothing the devil hates with more internal malevolence than divine healing. That is something that is visible, tangible, real, and valuable. When a lame man is enabled to walk, or a poor epileptic is made well, that is something the unsaved world can see and appreciate. It convinces them of the goodness and lovingkindness of God. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Either Forward or Backward 5/4 Wednesday Wisdom

You are either going forward or backward. As long as you walk in the light, you have fellowship with and love for your brothers and sisters in Christ, and you have a present salvation. However, when you refuse to walk in the light, you go backward, and you lose that sweet fellowship with God and with the saints. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

The Conqueror 5/3 Tuesday Truth

Hear the Spirit of the Conqeror, "Come up, my people, come up to the help of the Lord, against the mighty." The Devil is mighty in these last days, but "the battle is the Lord's" (1 Sam. 17:47). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Preaching in the Holy Spirit 5/2 Tuesday Truth

They preached this Gospel under the power of the Holy Spirit, whom they had received on the Day of Pentecost. This is such an essential and all-important factor in preaching that Jesus would not permit them to enter into their great lifework until they had received the divine anointing. Had they not tarried in Jerusalem until this anointing came, the Acts of the Apostles would never have been written, for there would not have been any acts on their part that needed to be recorded, and the revivals mentioned above would never have been reported. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter
