Since Sunday night I have had two opportunities to go hear Mark Hankins. Yesterday at his meeting I picked up some of his books and Cd's, and his material is so good.
I started reading his book "Let The Good Times Roll" (5 Key Factors To Heaven On Earth) I started it last night and read the section on the Holy Spirit. This morning I have been reading the section on the Glory of God. These are the days that we must press into His presence more than ever. We need to get our news from the Word instead of the tube. If you are getting the right news you won't be worried or discouraged. You will know what to do in times like this.
We need to stay FILLED with the Spirit.
I wanted to share some thoughts in this book from Smith Wigglesworth on being filled with the Spirit:
"We are commanded by God to be filled with the Spirit, and in the measure you fail of this you are that far short of the plan of God."
"I see everything as a failure except that which is done in the Spirit."
"You can do more in one year if you are filled with the Holy Spirit than you can do in fifty years apart from Him."
It's impossible to over-estimate the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit."
If you don't have Smith Wigglesworth's book "Ever Increasing Faith" in your library I encourage you to get a copy.
Hearing from God is critical to all that we are, our physical, spiritual, and emotional. What better way there to hear then to be filled with Him? Thanks for the advice!
