Leap Into Eternity 8/1 Monday Meditation

If the pale messenger of death should come for you today, would you take a leap into eternity, and hear the Judge say: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire ... [where] there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matt. 25:41, 51) or would you go shouting home to glory? God help you to make heaven your home. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Takes Away Fear 7/29 Friday Faith

Oh, praise the Lord for His tender care over us and for His wonderful salvation that fills our souls with glory; that takes away the fear of persecution, the fear of man, and the fear of devils; and makes us rejoice in the midst of trials, remembering that "all things work together for good to them that love God" (Rom. 8:28), etc.; that takes away the fear of death, and as we look at the grave we hear a shout from Calvary saying, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25). Death is the gate to glory. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Victory Every Time 7/28 Thursday Thoughts

If the Holy Spirit is dwelling in our hearts and shining out through our lives and actions; if we, by faith, take God at His Word, we will find at all times and places that His grace is sufficient, and He will give us victory every time. We must claim the victory by faith, before the walls fall (Josh. 6:20). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

God Has Promised 7/27 Wednesday Wisdom

Let me say for the encouragement of those who are starting in the work of the Lord, God has promised to be with us always, even to the end. We are nothing but the clay God speaks through. It is "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts" (Zech. 4:6). -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

The Wonderful Love of God 7/26 Tuesday Truth

Oh, the wonderful love of God! The half has never been told. It never can be told. It will take all eternity to tell of the redeeming love in the wonderful plan of redemption to a dying world. Dear readers, will you not give up all and follow Jesus, and meet me in that beautiful land where sorrow will never come? -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Never Be Discouraged 7/25 Monday Meditation

Today I switch to Maria Woodworth-Etter's autobiography, Signs and Wonders. Praise God, the work is going on, and the wilderness of sin has been made to blossom as the rose! Where there was cursing and blaspheming, there is singing and praising God. Let us never be discouraged, but lean hard on God, and He will give us victory every time, if we only trust Him and give Him the glory. Praise God for victory through faith in His promise and through the efficiency of the blood of the Lamb! -- Maria Woodworth-Etter

Are We Watching? 7/22 Friday Faith

This is the last of the quotes from Maria Woodworth-Etter's collected works. However, on Monday I will start quoting from her autobiography, Signs and Wonders. It is harder to find good stand-alone quotes in an autobiography. Oh beloved, are we watching? Are we waiting? Will we be ready to escape all the awful things that are coming on the earth? To many who are looking, it will be a day of darkness, and there will be no light in it for them. He will come as suddenly as a flash of lightning, and we will be taken as quickly. He will come with all the brightness of heaven. The saints will see all His glory and will hear all the bells of heaven ringing. Amid the singing of the great angelic choir, they will be caught away, swallowed up in all this brightness and glory. But the poor lost world will sleep on, not knowing what has happened. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter
