If God Lays Hold of You...

The reason the world today is not seeing Jesus is because believers are not filled with the Spirit of Christ. They are satisfied with going to church, occasionally reading the Bible, and sometimes praying. Beloved, if God lays hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end to everything of the old life. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Don't Settle for the Ordinary

God has privileged us in Christ Jesus to live above the ordinary human plane of life. Those who want to be ordinary and live on a lower plane can do so; but as for me, I will not." --Smith Wigglesworth

The Power of God

The Church in general is very clear in her faith on the subject of salvation through the sacrifice of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Christian world in general, regardless of their personal state of salvation, have a general faith and belief of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. But they are ever in doubt and very inexperienced in the power of God. -- John G. Lake

My Grace is Sufficient

Suddenly as a lightning flash, that text came to me: "My grace is sufficient for thee." (2 Cor. 12:9)
. . .
and I said, "I should think it is, Lord, " and burst out laughing. . . . It was as if some little fish, being very thirsty, was troubled about drinking the river dry, and Father Thames [the river]said, "drink away, little fish, my stream is sufficient for thee."

Or it seemed like a little mouse in the granaries of Egypt, after the seven years of plenty, fearing it might die of famine. Joseph might say, "Cheer up, little mouse, my granaries are sufficient for thee." Again I imagined a man away up yonder, in a lofty mountain, saying to himself, "I breathe so many cubic feet of air every year, I fear I shall exhaust the oxygen in the atmosphere." But the earth might say, "Breathe away, O man, and fill the lungs ever, my atmosphere is sufficient for thee." Oh, brethren, be great believers! Little faith will bring heaven to your souls.

-- John G. Lake, quoting Charles Spurgeon
