Secret of Abundant Life 1/30 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Secret of the Abundant Life 1/30 Thursday Thoughts That is the secret of the abundant life of which Jesus spoke. Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). The reason we have the more abundant life is because that, receiving God into our being, all the springs of our being are quickened by His living presence. Consequently, if we are living today and we receive God, we live life in a fuller measure. We live life with a greater energy, because we become the recipients of the energy of the living God in addition to our normal energy, through the reception of His being, His nature, His life into ours. -- John G. Lake

Let God Loose! 1/28 Tuesday Truth

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Let God Loose! 1/28 Tuesday Truth This is one of my all-time favorite quotes. I have repeated it several times over the 19 years that I have been posting Lep's Faith Quotes. Have you been in Canada? Do you know when I was in Canada, there was one thing that struck me peculiarly. The signs would read, "John Brown, Limited." Everywhere I see that sign. I was holding meetings in the old St. Andrew's Church in Sydney. I asked them one night why they did not put their national symbol on their churches. They wondered what I meant. I said, "every other business house is LTD; why don't you put it over the church?" An old Scotchman said, "We don't have to. Everybody knows [the church is limited]. ...Everybody knows the church is limited... Limited? Sure it is limited. [We] Limit God, limit ourselves, limit His grace, limit the Word. Sure, our God is a little bit of a god. Most of us could carry Him in our vest pocket, and it wouldn't bulge the pocket. Our God with the "LTD" on Him. Brother, sister, that challenge comes to us today to LET GOD LOOSE. -- John G. Lake

Hidden in God 1/27 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Hidden in God 1/27 Monday Meditation Oh, what privileges are ours when we are born of God. How marvelously He keeps us so that the wicked one touches us not. I see a place in God where Satan dare not come. Hidden in God. And He invites us all to come and share this wonderful hidden place where our lives are hid with Christ in God, where we dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. God has this place for you in this blessed realm of grace. -- Smith Wigglesworth

A Neutralizing Force 1/24 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: A Neutralizing Force 1/24 Friday Faith Every man and woman in connection with our church who is not spending time in prayer will be a neutralizing force in the church. They may be in the choir; they may be in the Sunday School; they may have charge of the finances; they may act as deacons or elders; but whatever their place, they carry a certain coldness, they are an inert body. They have a tendency to lower the spiritual temperature of everyone in close contact with them. So it is vitally important that the largest possible number of the membership should be led into the Prayer Program of the church. This isn't any place for theory. This is the place for positive facts. A church can't be built up spiritually without prayer. Numbers can be drawn through personal work or by eloquence, but to build up a real spiritual body, is only possible through prayer. --E.W. Kenyon

Optimist or Groaner? 1/23 Thursday Thoughts

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: Optimist or Groaner? 1/23 Thursday Thoughts I have always wondered how a Christian could be anything less that an optimist. It is a sad thing when you hear Christians with a groan in them. When I meet the groaner I say in my heart, "God, move the man on into the place where he comprehends what Christianity is." The Christian with a groan in him never moved the world except to groans. -- John G. Lake
