This will be the last post until the new year. We will be going away for a few days, and I will be taking a break the other few days, reading and finding new material. I'll return with Smith Wigglesworth in the new year.
Have a blessed Christmas season.
There is no sin in love. The sin is stepping out of love.
Sin is never attractive when we have a deep rich fellowship with the Father. When fellowship is at floodtide, sin has no seductive power over us.
Sin is breaking fellowship with love. . . . Sin is letting the desires of the senses rule, letting the senses gain control. When the senses run riot, God is forgotten.
The New Creation man is to practise love and develop his spirit so that it becomes a master over his senses.

12/16 Thursday thoughts
There are only two great forces in the world today; they are love and selfishness.
Every sin that a believer commits begins in selfishness. Selfishness may lead him into a host of different kinds of sin, but there is only one basic sin, and that is selfishness.
Someone has said that the "I, my, me and mine" are the four highways into the realm of broken fellowship.
Sin then, for the believer, is reverting to the practices of the former life. It is a denial of the dominion of love. It is seeking to find satisfaction in the realm of selfishness.
Selfishness causes all of the misery and heartache in our homes.
The cure for broken fellowship is the study of the Word and the practice of the Word, the living of the Word, and the "doing of the Word." (to be continued)

12/15 Wednesday wisdom
We know that no Word from God can be broken. We know that Jesus is the Word. We know that the Word is backed up by the Throne, the Father and the Master.
We know that the great, mighty Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is dwelling in us, unveiling the Word to our hearts. He is unveiling the reality of the Living Word, the reality of our relationship and His Indwelling . . .
We stand complete in His completeness.
"Of His fulness have we all received and grace upon grace."

12/14 Tuesday truth
I John 2:1 "My little children these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." He is the family Lawyer. He is the Attorney General of the Family of God.
When we break fellowship and ask the Father's forgiveness, our Advocate immediately takes up our case and restores our lost fellowship.
It is vital that we know this.
There is only one basic sin that the believer commits. When that sin is committed, it may throw the door open for a thousand others. That sin is breaking the love law. We are to walk in love.

12/13 Monday meditation
You see, an affirmation is the expression of our faith . . .
Some people are always confessing their faith in diseases, their faith in failure and calamity. You will hear them confessing that their children are disobedient and that their husband or wife is not doing what is right.
They constantly confess failure and doubts. They little realize that that confession robs them of their ability and efficiency.
They little realize that that confession can change the solid, hard road into a boggy, clogged mire, but it is true. This confession of weakness will bind and hold you in captivity.
Talk poverty and you will have plenty of it. Confess your want, your lack of money all of the time, and you will always have a lack.
Your confession is the expression of your faith, and these confessions of lack and of sickness shut the Father God out of your life and let Satan in, giving him the right-of-way.
Confessions of failure give disease and failure dominion over your life. They honor Satan and rob God of His glory.

12/10 Friday faith
The man who believes the Word simply thanks the Father for the Word when he prays. He never tells the Father he believes. He does not need to . . .
We know what we are. "Nay in all these things we are more than victors."
Storms will come, but He is in the boat with us, and you will hear His voice say, "Peace, be still."
When your heart is rooted in the Word, when you have studied it and lived it and it abides in you, you will know what to do when the storm comes. If you have been a spiritual hitch-hiker, depending upon the prayers of someone else, you would be in a desperate position if the storm should break upon you. It is vitally important that you "study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who needs not to be ashamed."

12/9 Thursday thoughts
Many people who have trusted in physical evidences of the Holy Spirit's indwelling never have any confession of His presence, because they do not confess His indwelling, they only confess His incoming.
They talk boldly about their baptism in the Holy Spirit and the evidences they received at that time, but they do not confess that "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world."
There is no continual confession on their lips of His present power and ability in them.
I have found that I must continually confess that He is in me. In every address that I give I confess that God is living in me, and that He is ministering through me.
"For it is God who is at work within you, willing and working his own good pleasure."
