The Less Holy Spirit We Have... 2/28 Friday Faith

Breaking with my usual quotes for a day...

The less Holy Spirit we have, the more cake and coffee we need to keep the church going.

Healing of Spirit, Soul, or Body 2/27 Thursday Thoughts

Healing in any department of the nature whether spirit, soul, or body is but a means to an end.  The object of healing is health, abiding health of body, soul, and spirit.  The healing of the spirit unites the spirit of man to God forever.  The healing of the soul corrects psychic disorder and brings the soul processes into harmony with the mind of God.  And healing of the body completes the union of man with God when the Holy Spirit possesses all.

What Prayer Is 2/25 Tuesday Truth

Do you know what prayer is?  It is not begging God for this and that.  The first thing that we have to do is to get you beggars to quit begging until a little faith moves in your soul.  Prayer is God's divine generator.  The spirit of man is God's divine dynamo.  When you go to pray, your spirit gets into motion.  Not ten thousand revolutions per minute, but possibly one hundred thousand.  The voltage of heaven comes to your heart and it flows from your hands, it burns into the souls of men, and God Almighty's Spirit is applied through you to their need.

The Church Has Been Negligent 2/24 Monday Meditation

The Church is the ministering presence of the Son of God in the world.  The Church is the generating agency of the power of God in the world.  The Church has been negligent in one great trust.  She has not prayed the power of God out of heaven.

A Higher Place in God 2/21 Friday Faith

Beloved, God is calling men and women to a holier consecration, to a higher place in God, and I am one of God's candidates for that holy place in God.  I want to get to the throne of God.  Oh yes, God baptized me in the Holy Ghost with a wondrous baptism, according to the understanding I possessed ten or fifteen years ago.  But I am a candidate today for a new baptism in the Holy Ghost that comes out of the heart of the glorified Christ in the lightnings of God, everlasting overcoming on the throne with Jesus.

A Greater Body 2/20 Thursday Thoughts

Jesus was the first body.  He was the human body through which God revealed Himself to the world.  After He passed on to glory, He undertook to bring into being again a new body -- not a lesser body nor a weaker body, but a body greater than the body of Jesus, a person greater than the power of Jesus.  That is is the meaning of the words of Jesus:  "Greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father:" (John 14:12)
