Quotes by Smith Wigglesworth About the Word of God and Faith

“I can’t understand God by feelings. I can’t understand the Lord Jesus Christ by feelings. I can only understand God the Father and Jesus Christ by what the Word says about them. God is everything the Word says He is. We need to get acquainted with Him through the Word.”

“It is a blessed thing to learn that God’s word can never fail. Never harken to human plans. God can work mightily when you persist in believing Him in spite of discouragements from the human standpoint…I am not moved by what I see. I am moved only by what I believe. No man considers how he feels if he believes. The man who believes God has it."

Faith in Action is Faith That Overcomes!

"When you praise God is the midst of adverse circumstances – that is faith in action."

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Psalm 33:1 - Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.

Psalm 9:1 - I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.

Psalm 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

God is Faithful to Perform His Word

God is faithful. You can count on Him. Just as He sends the rain and it blesses the vegetation of the earth, so He sends forth His Word to water our lives to bless us and give increase for His glory. His Word is true. He never fails...and He will never fail you.

^{Isaiah 55:10-11}

¹⁰ As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

¹¹ so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Jeremiah 1:12

The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled."

The Lord Sends Forth a Torrent of Blessings From His Throne Like Niagara Falls!

Yesterday I posted an article titled "How Faithful Is God?" in which I stated that God is opening up the gates to revive and renew, to transform the dryness of our lives, etc. Later in the morning I went to church and God gave me a vision along with a word. The vision was of Niagara Falls and the accompanying word was that His blessings, love, grace and mercies flow from His throne as a mighty torrent like Niagara Falls.

Psalm 42:7 says it best:
Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.

The Lord calls to us from His throne. The depths of His heart reaches out to the depths of our hearts. His presence and blessings roar like a mighty waterfall, even bigger than Niagara Falls, to overtake our lives. All the waves of His grace and love are like mighty torrents/waves and breakers intended to sweep over us.

His waterfalls are unstoppable, unimaginable in force and fury, great and awesomely powerful. They come forth from His throne.Wave after wave of His grace, mercy, love, provision, healing, and every blessing to absolutely soak our lives to the core.

How do we experience God's waves and breakers? By standing in the path of the waterfall that comes forth from God's throne and by posturing ourselves in His presence with humble hearts and simply receiving from Him. (Below is a video of Niagara Falls. Watch it while you meditate upon Psalm 42:7) Enter into His presence with thanksgiving and praise so we see Him open He gates and let the torrents flow. As we meditate upon the truth of Psalm 42:7, we will realize the very depths of the God's heart beckoning to the depths of our hearts, calling us into the path of His waves and breakers. God's grace is there for us to be completely soaked by the His Spirit, washing and renewing, strengthening, imparting grace and everything we need - giving strength and life.

As this happens please share your testimony with me. I want to know how God's waves and breakers are transforming you. Isn't God wonderful and beyond compare?

How Faithful Is God?

Sometimes, in our heart of hearts we question if God is really faithful. We might even think that He is faithful to others but we aren't sure if He is faithful toward us. Sometimes, we question if He really really cares. But, this is what His Word says in Daniel 9:3-4:

"And I (Daniel) set my face to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes; And I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, Who keeps covenant, mercy, and loving-kindness with those who love Him and keep His commandments."

Yes! He is ALWAYS faithful! He is your covenant keeping God! He is the one true God whose mercy and loving-kindness has sustained you and will continue to strengthen you in the days, months and years ahead. Reach out to Him and let the Holy Spirit wash you with His pure and refreshing Word. The Lord will renew you, He will strengthen you and bless you. Come boldly into His presence praising His Holy name. As you do, He will open the gates and transform the dryness of your life into a well-watered and fertile plain. He will revive, strengthen you. Your life will be like a meadow after a fresh soaking Summer rain.

Isaiah 58:11 says:

"The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail."

Rejoice and be glad!

The Lord Watches Over Us

God is faithful to watch over us. He is faithful to perform His Word in our lives. When we need help, He is always there because He loves and cares for us. We can have peace and rest knowing that He is always faithful...

Psalm 121

¹ I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
³ He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
⁵ The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
⁷ The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
⁸ the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
