Five Conditions of Prevailing Prayer – George Müeller

Five Conditions of Prevailing Prayer – George Müeller

From Answers to Prayer by George Mueller (George Müller) – 1805-1898 1. Entire dependence upon the merits and mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ, as the only ground of any claim for blessing. (See John 14:13, 14, 15, 16, etc.) 2. Separation from all known sin. If we regard iniquity in our hearts, the Lord will not hear us, for it would be sanctioning sin. (Psalm 66:18) 3. Faith in God’s word of…

Dare to Believe by Smith Wigglesworth

Dare to Believe by Smith Wigglesworth

Genesis 17:5 Here are Sarah – her body is almost dead – and Abraham – his body is almost dead. “Now,” says Abraham, “God has made me a father of many nations, and there is no hope of a son according to the natural law, no hope whatever.” Here God says, “I have made you a father of many nations,” and yet Abraham has no son. But Abraham refused to look at his own body or Sarah’s: he believed that…

The Real Christian by John G. Lake

The Real Christian by John G. Lake

At Church of the Truth, Spokane, Washington, October 11, 1914 When I first commenced to preach the Gospel, at least after I got to the point where I gave up everything else and gave my life exclusively to the Gospel, a number of my friends from the city of Chicago were in the habit of coming out to hear me preach, brokers from the Board of Trade and other business friends who were in my circle.…

The Testing of Our Faith by Smith Wigglesworth

The Testing of Our Faith by Smith Wigglesworth

Genesis 21: 9,10 We have another place in the Scriptures, and I want to touch upon it now. Isaac was born. And you find that right in that house where Isaac was and where Ishmael was, there were the seed of promise and the seed of flesh. You find there was strife and trouble right there, for Ishmael was teasing Isaac. And you will find as sure as anything that there is nothing that is going to…

Faith and the Fullness of the Spirit by Andrew Murray

Faith and the Fullness of the Spirit by Andrew Murray

Genesis 7:11 What are the conditions of fullness of the Spirit? God’s word has one answer – faith. Any true abiding fullness of the Spirit is preceded by emptying. “I sought the blessing long and earnestly,” said one, “and I wondered why it did not come. At last I found it was because there was no room in my heart to receive it.” In such emptying out there are various elements. A deep…

Faith that Believes by E.M. Bounds

Faith that Believes by E.M. Bounds

Genesis 15:4-6 [“And, behold, the word of the Lord came until him saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him froth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for…

Joy in His Presence by R. A. Torrey

Joy in His Presence by R. A. Torrey

Genesis 5:24 In this description of Enoch’s walk we find the secret of abounding joy. To my mind the text is one of the most fascinating verses in the entire Bible. It sounds more like a Song from a heavenly world than a plain statement of historical facts regarding a humble inhabitant of this world of ours, but such it is, and it is possible for each one of us to so live and act. Quite likely…

Faith is Essential by A. B. Simpson

Faith is Essential by A. B. Simpson

Genesis 3:1 Faith is the essential principle of the kingdom of God. It was the loss of faith which separated man from God in Eden. The fall of the race began the moment they listened to Satan’s insinuations, “Hath God said?” and the recovery of the race commences the moment the soul begins to trust its God. This is why faith has been made indispensable to the reception of the gospel and the…

Christ Lives In Me by John G. Lake

Christ Lives In Me by John G. Lake

That is the text, “Christ lives in me.” That is the revelation of this age. That is the discovery of the moment. That is the revolutionizing power of God in the earth. It is the factor that is changing the spirit of religion in the world and the character of Christian faith. It is divine vitalization. The world is awakening to that marvelous truth, that Christ is not in the heavens only, nor in…

Pray for Outpouring by F.F. Bosworth

Pray for Outpouring by F.F. Bosworth

Acts 4:24-31 Christ planned to continue His healing ministry during His absent. This was to be accomplished by His whole Church, which is His Body, not through an obscure member of that Body. He said, “These signs shall follow them,” the Church, not “him,” the individual. Christ had gone away, and had sent His successor, the Holy Spirit. It was not the faith of a lone or solitary evangelist but…

"Saving Faith" by Charles Finney

“Saving Faith” by Charles Finney

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,” James 1:22 Two things are necessary for evangelical or saving faith. The first is intellectual conviction after hearing the truth. I do not mean merely the abstract Ruth but its beading on you. The truth, in its relation to you, or its bearing on your conduct, must be received intellectually. The second thing that is…

The Word of Knowledge and Faith

The Word of Knowledge and Faith

By Smith Wigglesworth “To another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit” (1 Cor. 12:8, 9). We have not passed this way hitherto. I believe that Satan has many devices and that they are worse today than ever before; but I also believe that there is to be a full manifestation on the earth of the power and glory of God to defeat every device of Satan. In…

Faith over Feeling - James 2:26

Faith over Feeling – James 2:26

Almighty God knew what He was doing when he created you. he had a purpose for you, a purpose for your life. In order for you to carry out that purpose, He gave you the marvelous capacity to develop faith. Faith is so great, so powerful a force, that when taken in the soul and lived by, it can see you through anything. I do not speak these words lightly, for I am fully aware of the fact that there…

The Genuine versus the Fake - how can we know?

The Genuine versus the Fake – how can we know?

Unfortunately, we find that today most everyone operates on a con of some sort or another. Lying (you know those little white lies) has become acceptable normal behavior, as though it is impossible to live one’s without lying. That in fact is a lie as well! Also, there are no degrees of lying – acceptable and then the “big ones”. There is simply lies and truth. Lies are all lies and I am not made…

The King and His Kingdom

The King and His Kingdom

Beginning thought – To be the King is to reign or rule over a kingdom (realm). Beginning verse to think upon Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” I intend, at this point, to make my posts simple layman explanation of Kingdom concepts. The reason that many find the Kingdom of God to be such a mystery is…

Let me begin by saying hello. My name is Tom Henry and I am just a man – manifesting imperfectly, but by faith made in the image of God Himself. I have been through a lot of stuff (as I am sure you have) over the years and there have been many times where the only thing that brought me through was His presence, His love and His covenant with me.
