MAY 27th

I have come to the place where I realize that I know almost nothing about experimental religion. 

I have the "form of Godliness," but not the "power." It is in my head but not in my heart. My religion is theoretical, rather than experimental. 

Mrs. John Fletcher, Wm. Bramwell, and John Smith had something to which I am a total stranger, 

As a result of much reading I am convinced that the Early Methodists were nearest to the apostolic experience of any body of people I know. 

Would to God they had never lost their power! 

Oh, what God has in store for His saints. 

Experience it I must, cost what it will. May the Holy Spirit be my teacher as I read, pray and meditate. 

Oh, for the faith to believe!--the faith of those wonderful men and women of a century or two ago.

- Oswald J.  Smith, The Revival We Need

A word of Knowledge; The FULL Gospel according to Jesus

A word of Knowledge; The FULL Gospel according to Jesus Matthew 24:14 KJV And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. What is "this gospel of the kingdom" according to the context of the text and not according to men's own theology and commonly accepted traditions of interpretations? GenAI: "This gospel of the kingdom" in Matthew 24:14 refers to the *good news* of God's reign through Jesus Christ.  In the context of the text, it emphasizes the arrival of God's kingdom as a present reality and future hope.  Jesus had been preaching about the kingdom of heaven, calling people to repentance and faith, proclaiming that He Himself is the King who will reign forever (Matthew 4:17; 13:43; 26:29) The message includes both the spiritual transformation available through faith in Christ and the ultimate establishment of God's rule on earth.  It is distinct from human traditions o...

A word of Knowledge: Faith.

A word of Knowledge: Faith. Hebrews 11:1,6 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  [6] But without faith it is impossible to please Him:  for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Faith is an absolute trust, in the person of God the Father Faith is an absolute trust, in the person of God the Son, Jesus. Faith is an absolute trust, in the person of God the Holy Spirit. Faith is an uttermost believe, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength, in Jesus Christ. Faith is an uttermost believe, in every word in the Word of God. Faith is an uttermost believe, in the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Faith is not hope, it is a certainty that shall come to pass. Faith is not in the future, it is already received right now. Faith is not an intellectual knowledge only, it is obeying in deed. Hebrews 11:1,6 KJV Now faith is the sub...
