He has the name which is above every name, with all the authority of God in it. That name has been given to the Church , to us common folks, to use. In that name we are masters of demons and their works. -- E. W. Kenyon https://lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com/2026/08/name-above-every-name-819-wednesday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Larry A.

Have you been to Canada? Do you know when I went to Canada for the first time there was one thing that struck me peculiarly? The signs would read, "John Brown, Ltd." ... I was holding meetings in the old St. Andrews Church in Sidney. I asked them one night why they did not put their national symbol on their churches. They wondered what I meant. I said, "Every other business house is 'Ltd.' Why don't you put it over the church?" And old Scotchman said, "We don't have to . Everybody knows it." Limited? Sure it is limited. Limit God, limit ourselves, limit His grace, limit the Word. Sure, our God is a little bit of a God. Most of us could carry Him in our vest pocket and it wouldn't budge the pocket -- our God with the "Ltd." on Him. Brother, sister, that challenge comes to us today to LET GOD LOOSE. -- John G.

He alone is the One who lifts the fallen, cheers the faint, brings fresh oil, and changes the countenance. It is the Lord thy God. He has seen thy misery, He has known thy heart brokenness, and He has known how near you seem to be to despair...

The wet weather had set in. We pitched our tents during a rain, such as was never known in Oakland before. People looked on in wonder and amazement. From a human standpoint, everything looked dark and discouraging. Surely God's ways are not our ways. It takes a great deal of confidence, faith, and courage in God to move forward at His command not knowing one step of the way. Here we were in a strange land, with our money about gone and no means to go back East. We confessed we were pilgrims in a strange country but knew we were seeking a city out of sight. We had no thought of going back until a great work had been done for the Master. We had no fear of suffering for lack of means; we knew our God would supply all our needs (Rom. 8:28). -- Maria Woodworth-Etterhttps://lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com/2026/08/no-thought-of-going-back-85-wednesday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Larry A.

I make this sacrifice for the Lord. Christ is all in all to me. This world is not my home. It has no attraction for me. I am laying up treasures in heaven. I have a mansion there that is built of pure gold, and it can never be destroyed or taken from me.

To them faith was an every-day-fact. If your life is in the divine order, you will not only have living, active faith but you will always be building up someone else in faith. --Smith Wigglesworthhttps://lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com/2026/07/active-faith-731-friday-faith.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Larry A.

Faith has power to make you what God wants you to be, only you must be ready to step into the plan and believe His Word. --Smith Wigglesworthhttps://lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com/2026/07/god-has-so-changed-you-730-thursday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Larry A.

In a world full of uncertainties and unpredictability you have to trust God. The world has become more of a polyglot, more confused.

The Father wants you to have the abundance of His Nature. He wants your whole spirit and soul swallowed up in His Life (II Corinthians 5:4). He wants you so dominated by His Nature that Satan can gain no advantage over you. -- E. W.

So here is its annual appearance: 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! For the same unction, the same zeal, the same Holy Ghost power is at our command as was at the command of Stephen and the apostles. We have the same God that Abraham had, that Elijah had, and we need not come behind in any gift or grace. -- Smith Wigglesworthhttps://lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com/2026/07/my-all-time-favorite-quote-723-thursday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Larry A.

Are we waiting? Will we be ready to escape all the awful things that are coming on the earth? To many who are looking, it will be a day of darkness, and there will be no light in it for them. He will come as suddenly as a flash of lightning, and we will be taken as quickly. He will come with all the brightness of heaven. The saints will see all His glory and will hear all the bells of heaven ringing. Amid the singing of the great angelic choir, they will be caught away, swallowed up in all this brightness and glory. But the poor lost world will sleep on, not knowing what has happened. -- Maria Woodworth-Etterhttps://lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com/2026/07/are-we-watching-722-wednesday-wisdom.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Larry A.

Can you not see these things? People are preaching the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, but they are leaving out the blood of Christ entirely. -- Maria Woodworth-Etterhttps://lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com/2026/07/brotherhood-of-man-721-tuesday-truth.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Larry A.

He is taking men and women whom He can trust with His power to show forth His goods to the world. A traveling salesman shows his goods and secures orders. If he did not show his goods, he would not get the orders. People want to see the goods before they purchase them. So God calls us to show the samples. We are not only to tell what God can do, but to put Him to the test and show what He can do. --Maria Woodworth-Etterhttps://lepsfaithquotes.blogspot.com/2026/07/show-what-god-can-do-720-monday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Larry A.

If all you ever had was forgiveness of sins, Satan could claim you for his own. He could say, "You are mine." But now he has been defeated. He looks upon you as a New Creation, a branch of the Vine, Jesus, Who conquered him. The only thing he can do now is to hinder that branch from bearing fruit. -- E. W.

How? By feeling on the Word of God. The Word is God's wisdom, God's ability, God's very Life. As I feed on it, it cultivates, strengthens, and builds up my spirit. It builds faith into me. It builds God's ability into me. It builds into me every attractive thing that you saw in Jesus's life. -- E.W.

Oh, "the gift of God is eternal life" (Rom. 6:23). When you receive this gift, then you are God's man. You are no longer a stranger or foreigner, but have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Through Him, you will have access to the Father by one Spirit. You are a citizen with the saints and of the household of God; you are a living stone (I Peter 2:5) in the building that is being fitly framed together, a holy temple in the Lord.

Only one thing will do: my doing the Word, practicing it, living it in my daily life, trusting in it, acting on it. -- E.W.
