Speech Inspired by the Spirit

My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1 Scripture reading: Isaiah 50:4; Psalm 15:1–16:1

Oh, for more people to believe God that “the tongue of the dumb [might] sing” (Isa. 35:6). When will they? When they believe and fulfill the conditions. Oh, beloved, it is not easy. Jesus died and rose again for the possibility. “Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22). The whole man needs to be immersed in God so that the Holy Spirit may operate and the dying world may have the ministry of life for which
it is famished. Amen

The world  seeks what they cannot  find because they know not what they are seeking. As Christians  we are that light in a world of darkness, lighting a path for those to come out.

The Spirit Is upon Me

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me. Luke 4:18 Scripture reading:
Luke 4:1–21

God is bringing us to a place where we know that the Spirit of the Lord is upon us. If we have not gotten to that place, God wants to bring us to the fact of what Jesus said in John 14: “I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper [‘Comforter,’ kjv], that He may abide with you forever” (v. 16). Because the Spirit of the Lord came upon Him who is our Head, we must see to it that we receive the same anointing, and that the same Spirit is upon us. The Devil will cause us to lose the victory if we allow ourselves to be defeated by him. But it is a fact that the Spirit of the Lord is upon us, and as for me, I have no message apart from the message He will give, and I believe that the signs He speaks of will follow. Amen

Yielding to God’s Plan

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:5 Scripture reading:
1 Corinthians 12:12–27

It is in the hard places where we see no help that we cry out to God. He delivers us so that we can help the tempted. It was said of Jesus that He was “in all points tempted as we are” (Heb. 4:15). Where did He receive strength to comfort us? It was at the end of “vehement cries and tears” (Heb. 5:7), when the angel came just in time and ministered and saved Him from death. Now He can send angels to us. When? Just when we are about to go straight down. At such times in the past, did He not stretch out to us a helping hand? Amen

The Life of God within Us

All things were made through Him. John 1:3 Scripture reading: Galatians 3:1–14

All was made by the Word. We are begotten by His Word. There is a substance within us that has almighty power in it if I dare to believe. Faith is an act, a reality, a deposit of God, an almighty flame moving me to act, so that signs and wonders are manifested. His life is manifested power overflowing. We must decrease if the life of God is to be manifested. (See John 3:30.) There is not room for two kinds of life in one body.
As you die to human desire, there comes a fellowship within, perfected cooperation, you ceasing, God increasing. God in you is a living substance, a spiritual nature. You live by another life, the “faith in the Son of God” (Gal. 2:20). Amen

Four Helps for the Heart

May the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 1 Peter 5:10 Scripture reading:
1 Peter 5

The God of all grace wants to do the following in us: first, “perfect”; second, “establish”; third, “strengthen”; and fourth, “settle.”
(Heb. 13:20–21).

Second is “establish.” You must beestablished in the fact that it is His life, not yours. You must have faith in His Word, faith in His life. You are supplanted by Another. You are disconnected from the earth. You are insulated by faith.

Third is “strengthen.” You are strengthened by the fact that God is doing the business, not you. You are in the plan that God is working out.

Fourth is “settle.” What does it mean to be settled? It means knowing that I am in union with His will, that I am established in the knowledge of it, that day by day, I am strengthened. It is an eternal work of righteousness, until by the Spirit we are perfected.

Knowing Our Need

If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well. Mark 5:28
Scripture reading:
Mark 5:25–6:6

What a privilege to care for the flock of God, to be used by God to encourage the people, to help stand against the many trials that affect the needy. What a holy calling! We each have our own work, and we must do it, so that boldness may be ours in the day of the Master’s appearing, and so that no man can take our crowns (Rev. 3:11).
We must have a willingness, a ready mind, a yielding to the mind of the Spirit. There is no place for the child of God in God’s great plan except in humility.
In Mark 5:25–34, we have the story of the woman who had suffered many things from many physicians and had spent all that she had. She was no better but rather grew worse. She said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” She came to know her need. It is when we are empty and undone, when we come to God in our nothingness and helplessness, that He picks us up.
