Where people are in sickness you find frequently that they are dense about Scripture. They usually know three scriptures though. They know about Paul's thorn in the flesh, and that Paul told Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach's sake, and that Paul left someone sick somewhere; they forget his name, and don't remember the name of the place, and don't know where the chapter is. Most people think they have a thorn in the flesh. The chief thing in dealing with a person who is sick is to locate their exact position [level of faith]. As you are ministering under the Spirit's power, the Lord will let you see just that which will be the most helpful and the most faith-inspiring to them.

More Than Ordinary 10/31 Monday meditation
Remember, today is not Halloween. It's the eve of All Saints (All Hallows) Day. Nov. 1, All Saints Day, is the day when we remember all who were martyred for their faith. Nov. 2 is All Souls Day, when we remember all who died ordinary deaths as believers.
Beloved, God wants us to be something more than ordinary people. Remember this, whosoever you are, if you are ordinary you have not touched the ideal principles of God. The only thing that God has for man is to be extraordinary. God has no room for an ordinary man. There are millions of ordinary people in the world. . . But when God lays hold of a man He makes him extraordinary in personality, power, unction, thought and activity.

If this quote sounds familiar, I posted a similar quote from a different sermon at one time. It deserves reinforcement.

Can He Do It For Me? 10/28 Friday faith
But you ask, "Can He do it for me?" "Yes, if you believe it." Brother, faith is the victory. . . Thirty years ago this body you see was sick and helpless and dying. God, in an instant, healed me. I am now sixty-five years within a day or two and so free and healthy; oh, it is wonderful! There are people in this place who ought to be healed in a moment. People who ought to receive the Holy Ghost in a moment. The power of possibility is in the reach of every man. The Holy Ghost is full of the rising tide. Every one of us can be filled to overflowing. God is here with His divine purpose to change our weakness into mighty strength and faith. The Word of God! Oh, brother, sister, have you got it? It is marrow to your bones. It is unction. It is resurrection from every weakness, it is life from the dead.

Mightier 10/27 Thursday thoughts
Any person that has come to the place of this word, "...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world," which is a divine proposition, is mightier than all the pwoers of darkness, is mightier than the power of disease, mightier than his own self. There is something reigning supremely great in him more than in the world when he is in that place. But beloved, we must come to the place of a knowledge. It is not sufficient for you to quote the Word of God. You never come to a place of righteousness, of truth, until you are in possession of these things which I am giving you by the Word.

Bigger Than We Know 10/26 Wed. wisdom
The Holy Ghost would have us clearly understand that we are a million times bigger than we know. Every Christian in this place has no conception of what you are. . . I want to . . . tell you if you only knew what you had, your body would scarcely be able to contain you.

Unveiling of Jesus 10/25 Tuesday truth
The Holy Ghost wants everybody to see the unveiling of Jesus. The unveiling of Jesus is to take away yourself and to place Himself in us; to take away all your human weakness and put within you that wonderful Word of eternal power, of eternal life, which makes you believe that all things are possible.

Inward Power 10/24 Monday meditation
No person who has Jesus as the inward power of his body needs to be trembling when Satan comes around. All he has to do is to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
