Greater Works: Experiencing God's Power: Energized by the Spirit

Greater Works: Experiencing God's Power

By Smith Wigglesworth

Energized by the Spirit


There is a necessity for every one of us to be filled with God. 

It is not sufficient to have just a touch or to be filled with just a desire. 


Only one thing will meet the needs of the people, and that is for you to be immersed in the life of God. 


This means that God takes you and fills you with His Spirit until you live right in God. 

He does this so that “whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, [it may be] all to the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31). 


In that place you will find that all your strength and all your mind and all your soul are filled with a zeal, not only for worship, but also for proclamation. 

This proclamation is accompanied by all the power of God, which must move satanic power and disturb the world.


The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus. 

They are satisfied with attending meetings weekly, reading the Bible occasionally, and praying sometimes. 


Beloved, if God lays hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything and a beginning of God. 

Your whole body will become seasoned with a divine likeness. 


Not only will He have begun to use you, but He will have taken you in hand, so that you might be “a vessel for honor” (2 Tim. 2:21). 


Our lives are not to be for ourselves, for if we live for ourselves we will die (Rom. 8:13); but if “by the Spirit [we] put to death the deeds of the body, [we] will live” (v. 13). 


He who lives in the Spirit is subject to the powers of God, but he who lives for himself will die. The man who lives in the Spirit lives a life of freedom and joy and blessing and service—a life that brings blessing to others. 


God would have us see that we must live in the Spirit.

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who came to our s

Absolute Surrender: Peter's Repentance

Absolute Surrender By Andrew Murray Peter's Repentance You may be a very earnest, godly, devoted believer, in whom the power of the flesh is yet very strong. That is a very solemn truth.  Peter, before he denied Christ, had cast out devils and had healed the sick; and yet the flesh had power, and the flesh had room in him.  Oh, beloved, we have to realize that it is just because there is so much of that self-life in us that the power of God cannot work in us as mightily as God is willing that it should work.  Do you realize that the great God is longing to double His blessing, to give tenfold blessing through us?  But there is something hindering Him, and that something is a proof of nothing but the self-life.  We talk about the pride of Peter, and the impetuosity of Peter, and the self-confidence of Peter. It all rooted in that one word, self.  Christ had said, “Deny self,” and Peter had never understood, and never obeyed; and every failing came out of that. What a solemn thought,

A word of Knowledge: Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove

Image
A word of Knowledge Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove Luke 3:22 KJV And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Many people, if not everyone, have misunderstood this verse. They pictured the Holy Spirit coming in the shape of a dove coming down upon Jesus. No, this is not what God is telling us at all.  What purpose does it serve to tell us the Holy Spirit looks like a dove where He obviously does not look like that?  God is not the author of foolishness and  confusion.  We are made in God's image, therefore, God the Holy Spirit's bodily shape is one that resembles that of a man, just as God the Son and God the Father. Now, let us read the verse again slowly: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a BODILY SHAPE like a dove upon him" ...in what bodily shape? It is of course in the shape of a man! And the Holy Ghost DESCENDED in a bodily shape LIKE A
