smith wigglesworth Quote 7 by hymn Revival Via Flickr: YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE FIRE Smith Wigglesworth (1859 - 1947) "If the gifts of the Spirit are not in the church, you can call it what you like; it is a back-letter church. You can be baptized in water a thousand times; it will not make the Spirit move. You will have to have something better than water baptism. You will have to have fire. You will have to have the inward presence of God. Where the Holy Ghost comes the gifts are manifest, unless the church has backslidden, and Ichabod [1Sa 4.21] is over the door. Oh you can backslide, and there is not a grace that you cannot forfeit! “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” [1Co 10.12] There is only one way for every one of us to keep faithful, and that is down in humiliation, brokenness of spirit, living victorious over the natural, and having the light of life in our being.” HymnRevival.com
smith wigglesworth Quote 9 by hymn Revival Via Flickr: DO YOU TRUST HIM? Smith Wigglesworth (1859 - 1947) "We have a big God. We have a wonderful Jesus. We have a glorious Comforter. God's canopy is over you and will cover you at all times, preserving you from evil. Under His wings shalt thou trust. The Word of God is living and powerful and in its treasures you will find eternal life. If you dare trust this wonderful Lord, this Lord of life, you will find in Him everything you need. So many are tampering with drugs, quacks, pills and plasters. Clear them all out and believe God. It is sufficient to believe God. You will find that if you dare trust Him, He will never fail. "The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the LORD shall raise him up." Do you trust Him? He is worthy to be trusted.” www.HymnRevival.com
The Lower Lights has been one of my favourite musical groups for several years. I love how they breathe new life into beloved hymns with folk sounds and lively beats. Try out this track from their latest album.
