From My Files – Smith Wigglesworth – Part 2
Did you enjoy From My Files – Smith Wigglesworth – Part 1? As I mentioned in that post, there are just too many powerful quotations about the Holy Spirit to squeeze into one blog post. So, as promised, here are a few more powerful quotations from the teachings/preachings of this mighty man of faith. THE QUOTES ADDED TO MY FILES: It is impossible to overestimate the importance of being filled with the Spirit. Wherever the Holy Ghost has right of way, the gifts of the Spirit will be in manifestation; and where these gifts are never in manifestation, I question whether He is present. It is a...
From My Files – Smith Wigglesworth – Part 1
It happened again. When I began to pull Smith Wigglesworth quotations from my files, I could immediately see that there are just too many powerful, preachable, liveable truths about the Holy Spirit to place into one single blog post. Thankfully, the solution became quite simple. What could be one extra-long, wordy post is now two much shorter posts. Read, meditate, and then add these spiritual nuggets to your personal list of resources. THE BACKGROUND: I will admit up front that many of this blog's readership has never heard of Smith Wigglesworth (1859 – 1947). Originally a plumber by...
The Gift of the Holy Spirit
If you're looking for something to read that is lengthy, you will want to skip this post. This is definitely a few-words-are-needed teaching. Consider Jesus' words about the gift of the Holy Spirit. "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children; how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" Luke 11:13 Here are six insights that Jesus packed into His thirty words. God is the ULTIMATE gift giver. (God knows how to give gifts.) God LOVES to give His gift. (He is in the "how much more" business.) God's gift is BEYOND good. (The...
The Holy Spirit & Your Child(ren)
Got three minutes? Ready to get excited? Let me remind you of what God has to say about the Holy Spirit's relationship with your child(ren). "For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring." Isaiah 44:3 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions." Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of...
Three Important Questions
Two nights ago, I sensed the Holy Spirit challenge me with three brief and yet powerful questions concerning being a part of a mighty move of God. If not you, then who? If not here, then where? If not now, then when? How often do we relegate moves of God to another person or another place or another time? Is this true? It is only when we arrive at the same answers that the Holy Spirit has for these questions will we witness and be a part of an unprecedented move of God in both us personally and in our ministry.
