Clothed With Light and Power 8/10 Wednesday Wisdom

Jesus said they hated Him without a cause. The real children of God are clothed with light and power, with the Holy Spirit from heaven, sent from the eternal throne of God. The world does not know us, because it did not know Him, so the devil brings all his forces into the battle against Jesus and His saints. But He that is in us is greater than all that are against us, and the Lord will fight our battles, if He has to bring down all the armies of heaven. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

We Had a Pentecost 8/9 Tuesday Truth

Conviction fell on the people, the fear of God made them tremble. The children of the Lord said, "We had a Pentecost." Praise the Lord! As Brother Talmage said, "We ought not to be looking at a dead Pentecost of the past, but we ought to have thousands of Pentecosts all along the way." -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Thousands in the Churches Lost 8/8 Monday Meditation

There are thousands in the churches today who think they are all right, think they have eternal life, but are in a lost condition. May God have mercy on blind leaders and false teachers, and send something to arouse them before they and their followers go down to hell together. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

No Thought of Going Back 8/5 Friday Faith

We commenced meeting in Oakland, California, October 28, 1889. The wet weather had set in. We pitched our tents during a rain, such as was never known in Oakland before. People looked on in wonder and amazement. From a human standpoint, everything looked dark and discouraging. Surely God's ways are not our ways. It takes a great deal of confidence, faith, and courage in God to move forward at His command not knowing one step of the way. Here we were in a starnge land, with our money about gone and no means to go back Keast. We confessed we were pilgrims in a strange country but knew we were seeking a city out of sight. We had no thought of going back until a great work had been done for the Master. We had no fear of suffering for lack of means; we knew our God would supply all our needs (Rom. 8:28). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

This World Is Not My Home 8/4 Thursday Thoughts

People wonder at me traveling from one place to another, suffering all kinds of hardships, deprived of many comforts of life, exposed to wet and cold, heat and storms. I make this sacrifice for the Lord. Christ is all in all to me. This world is not my home. It has no attraction for me. I am laying up treasures in heaven. I have a mansion there that is built of pure gold, and it can never be destroyed or taken from me. Praise God for the privilege of leaving all to follow Jesus. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Never Get Discouraged 8/3 Wednesday Wisdom

The devil is mighty, but God is Almighty. Let no one who reads this ever get discouraged in doing the work of the Lord. There never was a meeting [tent revival] held under more discouraging circumstances. Everything was against us, nothing for us but God. He was more than all that was against us. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Glorious Work for God 8/2 Tuesday Truth

There was never a glorious work done for God but that the devil came around in person or in the form of a Judas and tried to overthrow it. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter
