A word of Wisdom: On the cost for Pentecost

A word of Wisdom: On the cost for Pentecost (in the words of Smith Wigglesworth) I am satisfied that the purpose of Pentecost is to reestablish God in human flesh.  Do I need to say it again?  The power of the Holy Spirit has to come to be enthroned in the human life so that it does not matter where we find ourselves.  Christ is manifested in  the place where devils are,  the place where religious devils are,  the place where false religion and unbelief are,  the place where formal religion has taken the place of holiness and righteousness.  You need to have holiness—the righteousness and Spirit of the Master—so that in every walk of life, everything that is not like our Lord Jesus will have to depart.  That is what is needed today. I ask you in the Holy Spirit to seek the place where He is in power.  “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” (Acts 19:15).  May God stamp this sobering question upon us, for the Devil is not afraid of us.  May the Holy Spirit make us terrors of e

A word of Wisdom: "Have ye worshipped the Lord Jesus today?"

A word of Wisdom: "Have ye worshipped the Lord Jesus today?" Worship God. Mark 12:30 KJV And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,  and with all thy soul,  and with all thy mind,  and with all thy strength:  this is the first commandment. They worshipped when He was a young child. Matthew 2:11 KJV And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him : and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. They worshipped Him seeking cleansing. Matthew 8:2-3 KJV And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him , saying,  Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.  [3] And Jesus put forth His hand, and touched him, saying,  I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. They worshipped Him seeking healing. Matthew 15:24-25,28 KJV But He answered and said,  I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  [25

A Deluge Of The Spirit

A Deluge Of The Spirit By John G. Lake In 1908, I preached at Pretoria, South Africa, when one night God came over my life in such power, in such streams of liquid glory and power, that it flowed consciously off my hands like streams of electricity.  I would point my finger at a man and that stream would strike him.  When a man interrupted the meeting, I would point my finger at him and say, "Sit down!" He fell as if struck and lay for three hours.  When he became normal they asked him what happened, and he said, "Something struck me that went straight through me. I thought I was shot." At two o'clock in the morning I ministered to sixty-five sick who were present, and the streams of God that were pouring through my hands were so powerful the people would fall as though they were hit.  I was troubled because they fell with such violence.  And the Spirit said,  "You do not need to put your hands on them. Keep your hands a distance away."  And when I hel

Clothed with the Spirit

Clothed with the Spirit By Smith Wigglesworth Interpretation of Tongues God has sent His Word to free us from the “law of sin and death.”  Except we die, we cannot live;  except we cease to be, God cannot be. The Holy Spirit has a royal plan, a heavenly plan. He came to unveil the King, to show the character of God, to unveil the precious blood of Jesus.  Because I have the Holy Spirit within me, I see Jesus clothed for humanity.  He was moved by the Spirit, led by the Spirit.  We read of some who heard the Word of God but did not benefit from it because faith was lacking in them (Heb. 4:2).  We must have a living faith in God’s Word, a faith that is quickened by the Spirit. A man may be saved and still be carnally minded.  When many people hear about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, their carnal minds at once arise against the Holy Spirit.  “The carnal mind…is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be”  (Rom. 8:7).  One time, Jesus’ disciples wanted to call down fire from heaven
