A Spiritual Tragedy 6/1 Thursday Thoughts

It is a serious thing to have the baptism [of the Holy Spirit] and yet be stationary; to live two days in succession on the same spiritual plane is a tragedy.  We must be willing to deny ourselves everything to receive the revelation of God's truth and to receive the fullness of the Spirit.  Only that will satisfy God, and nothing less must satisfy us.

Everything Except the Match 5/31 Wednesday Wisdom

For some years I was associated with the Plymouth Brethren.  They are very strong on the Word, and are sound on water baptism, and they do not neglect the breaking of bread service, but have it every Lord's day morning as they had it in the early church.  These people seem to have everything except the match.  They have the wood, but they need the fire and they would be all ablaze.  Because they lack the fire of the Holy Spirit, there is no life in their meetings. 


One young man who attended their meetings received the baptism with the speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gave utterance.  The brethren were very upset about this and came to the father and said to him, "You must take your son aside and tell him to cease."  They did not want any disturbance.  The father told the son and said, "My boy, I have been attending this church for twenty years and have never seen anything of this kind.  We are established in the truth and do not want anything new.  We won't have it."  The son replied, "If that is God's plam I will obey, but somehow or other I don't think it is."


As they were going home the horse stood still; the wheels were in deep ruts.  The father pulled at the reins but the horse did not move  He asked, "What do you think is up?'' The son answered, "It has got established."  God save us from becoming stationary.

Importance of Being Filled 5/30 Tuesday Truth

It is impossible to overestimate the importance of being filled with the Spirit.  It is impossible for us to meet the conditions of the day, to walk in the light as He is in the light, to subdue kingdoms and work righteousness and bind the power of Satan unless we are filled with the Holy Ghost.

A Great Weakness in the Church 5/19 Friday Faith

There is a great weakness in the church of Christ because of an awful ignorance concerning the Spirit of God and the gifts He has come to bring.  God would have us powerful on all lines because of the revelation of the knowledge of His will concerning the power and manifestation of His Spirit.  He would have us ever hungry to receive more and more of His Spirit...  A man who is not hungry to receive more of God is out of order in any convention.

Glory 5/18 Thursday Thoughts

 ...Glory has to be expressed.  So God, by filling us with the Holy Ghost, has brought into us this glory, that out of us may come forth the glory.

Are You Hungry? 5/17 Wednesday Wisdom

God is making people hungry and thirsty after His best.  And everywhere He is filling the hungry and giving them that which the disciples received at the very beginning.  Are you hungry?  If you are, God promises that you shall be filled.   --Smith Wigglesworth


[Yesterday's devotional, from a previous paragraph in this sermon, said, "If ever you see a "shall" in the Bible, make it yours."]


I will be on vacation next week and will not be posting Monday through Memorial Day.

"Shall" 5/16 Tuesday Truth

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled" (Matthew 5:6).  Note that word, "shall be filled.:"  If you ever see a "shall" in the Bible, make it yours.  Meet the conditions and God will fulfill His Word to you.
