acts-1:8

I thought I would go through a course of study and prepare for the work, thinking the Lord would make my husband and people willing in some way to let me go out and work. But I could not get my mind fixed on my study. Everything seemed empty and vacant, and I was restless and uneasy. The dear Savior... Read More

IT was in the years 1917 and 1918 that the yearnings for revival expressed in these messages were born of God. Nothing of a spectacular nature took place for the work was of a wholly local character, nor did it seem to reach full fruition at the time. It was, however, a wonderful personal preparatio...

The Holy Spirit is able to make the Word as successful now as in the days of the apostles. He can bring in souls by hundreds and thousands as well as by ones and twos. The reason why we are no more prosperous is that we have not the Holy Spirit with us in might and power as in early times. "If we ha... Read More

Because the Holy Spirit is mentioned third in the Godhead, He is treated as a "third" person by Christians. We do not realize that He is God — equal with the Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus. He is not a mere force or power, but a Person. God the Father is in Heaven. God the Son is seated at the Fa... Read More

"Unless" and "until" are the two keywords of the Kingdom of God. "Unless" you are born of the Spirit, you cannot enter the Kingdom. "Until" you are baptized with the Spirit, you cannot expand the Kingdom. All believers in Christ are theologians. But all theologians are not necessarily believers. The... Read More

In order to begin properly I think we need to do some defining--what it really means to be a Christian. WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN? Everybody & his brother has an idea about that, & there are all kinds of good truths that are shared about being Christian. One of the unique ways, I believe, to find a defini... Read More

CHAPTER 4 SALVATION THAT SAVES Strait is the Gate and Difficult is the Way The pathway that we must travel begins with a narrow gate (Christ) and continues as a narrow road that leads to eternal live. In Matthew 7:13, 14 we read… Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way th... Read More

In Acts 1.8 we read: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” Oh, the power of the Holy Ghost! the power that quickens, that reveals, and prevails! I love to think that Jesus wanted all His people to have power, that He wanted all men to be overcomers. Nothing but th... Read More

Read Ephesians 3 carefully. This is a lovely chapter on Paul’s mission to the Gentiles. God has grafted us (Gentiles) in. In other ages it was not made known that the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, whereof he was made a minister by the effectual working of His power. This power in Paul wrought a v... Read More

It's Our Solemn Obligation! Before our Lord departed to be with the Father, He made a promise to His disciples that they should receive a gift of power: "Ye shall receive power, the Holy Ghost coming upon you" (Acts 1:8). The purpose of that spiritual endowment was to enable those who knew Him to be... Read More
