A Warning

I have seen some who have been terribly switched. They believe in Gifts, in prophecy, and they use these Gifts apart from the power of the Holy Ghost.

Not In the Presence of Unbelievers

That is what troubles us, somebody being drunk in a place of worship where a lot of people come in that know nothing about the word.

God save us from becoming stationary!

God would have us to understand concerning spiritual Gifts, and to covet earnestly the best gifts, and also to enter into the more excellent way of the fruit of the Spirit.

Deceiving Spirits of Cults

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

1 Cor. 12:3 KJV

Made to Stand

Oh, this life in the Holy Ghost! This life of deep, inward revelation, of transformation from one state to another, of growing in grace, and in the knowledge, and in the power of the Spirit, the life and the mind of Christ being renewed in you, and of constant revelations of the might of His power.

God’s Testimonies

“This is that.” And God wants you to have that: Nothing less than that.
He wants you to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit according to this original pattern.

In Acts 10 we have another witness

Peter is in the house of Cornelius.

Some people put the touch of the Lord in the place of faith.

Anyone Who Has Faith

So he went to the meeting. When he came back he said,

When they brought me home helpless, we prayed all night.

Fetch ‘is Clothes

They would not listen to the request, for they were expecting the boy to die.

I anointed him in the Name of the Lord, and asked the Lord to raise him up.

Apparently, there was no change

God often hides what He does.

We dare not be independent.

He brings us to another place, where we submit ourselves to one another.

One Crumb Drives Out Demon

Jesus was stirred as He saw the faith of this woman, and He told her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

Looking Unto Jesus

See this poor, helpless man at the pool, “Wilt thou be made whole?”
But there is a difficulty in the way. The man has one eye on the pool, and one on Jesus.

I was in Long Beach about six weeks later, and the sick were coming for prayer. Among those filling up the aisle was the Doctor. I said, “What is the trouble?”
He said, “Diabetes, but it will be alright tonight. I know it will be all right.”

There is no such thing as the Lord not meeting your need. There’s no “ifs” or “may’s”; His promises are for all “shalls”.

All things are possible to him that believeth

Oh, the Name of Jesus!

Faith is just the open door through which the Lord comes

Do not say, “I was healed by faith.”

Faith does not save: God saves through that open door.
