| "I don't often spend more than half an hour in prayer at one time, but I never go more than half an hour without praying." "We may be nothing, but in God, we can be mighty." "I would rather die trusting God than live in unbelief." "The power of God will take you out of your own plans and put you into the plan of God." "Desire toward God and you will have desires from God and He will meet you on the line of those desires when you reach out in simple faith." "Believe that when you come into the presence of God you can have all you came for. You can take it away, and you can use it, for all the power of God is at your disposal in response to your faith." "The devil knows if he can capture your thought life he has won a mighty victory over you." "I can get more out of God by believing Him for one minute than by shouting at Him all night." "I believe that God wants to put His hand upon us so that we may reach ideal definitions of humility, of human helplessness, of human insufficiency, until we will rest no more upon human plans, but have God�s thoughts, God�s voice, and the Holy Spirit to speak to us." "Believe that when you come into the presence of God, you can have all you came for. You can take it away, and you can use it, for all power of God is at your disposal in response to your faith." "I'm not moved by what I see. I'm moved only by what I believe!" "In me is working a power stronger than every other power. The life that is in me is a thousand times bigger than I am outside." "I believe that there is only one way to all the treasure of God, and that is the way of Faith. By faith and faith alone do we enter into a knowledge of the attributes, become partakers of the beatitudes, and participate in the glories of our ascended Lord." "But the Master does not want us to reason things out - for carnal reasoning will always land us in a bog of unbelief.. just obey." "I find nothing in the Bible but holiness, and nothing in the world but worldliness. Therefore, if I live in the world, I will become worldly; on the other hand, if I live in the Bible, I will become holy." "If you wake up today and are the same as you were yesterday, you are a backslider." "As this precious faith becomes a part of you, you will dare to do anything. And remember, God wants daring people - people who will dare all, people who will be strong in Him and dare to do exploits." "How shall we reach this plane of faith? Let go of your own thoughts and take the thoughts of God, the Word of God. If you build yourself on imaginations you will go wrong. You have the Word of God, and it is enough. And truly the Word of God changes a person until he becomes an epistle of God. It transforms his mind, changes his character, moves him on from grace to grace, makes him an inheritor of the very nature of God. God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through, and sups with him who opens his being to the Word of God and receives the Spirit who inspired it." |

| "When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath." (John 5:6-9) There they are round the pool; and this man had been there a long time. His infirmity was of thirty-eight years standing. Now and again an opportunity would come, as the angel stirred the waters, but his heart would be made sick as he saw another step in and be healed before him. But one day Jesus was passing that way, and seeing him lying there in that sad condition, enquired, "Wilt thou be made whole?" Jesus said it, and His word is from everlasting to everlasting. This is His word to you, poor, tried and tested one today. You may say, like this poor impotent man, "I have missed every opportunity up till now." Never mind about that. Wilt thou be made whole? The Word can drive every disease away from your body. It is your portion in Christ, Him who is our bread, our life, our health, our all in all. And though you may be deep in sin, you can come to Him in repentance, and He will forgive and cleanse and heal you. His words are spirit and life to those who will receive them. There is a promise in Joel 3:21, "I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed." This is as much as to say He will provide new life within. The life of Jesus Christ, God's Son, can so purify men's hearts and minds that they become entirely transformed, spirit, soul and body. Excerpt from Every Increasing Faith by Smith Wigglesworth |
