Phoebe Palmer on faith

 

 

Phoebe Palmer lived during the period of 1807 – 1874. She was a great woman of faith and many of her ideas of faith were passed down to other ministers who benefited from her teachings.

 

This is what she said:

 

There are laws which govern God’s “moral universe” just as there are laws governing the physical universe. This structure of moral or spiritual cause and effect is revealed primarily in the Bible… If one understands these laws and acts in accordance with them, it is certain that the designated means will achieve the desired ends… Faith’s “effects must of necessity follow, because the principles by which the kingdom of grace is governed are unchangeable.”

Phoebe Palmer (1807 –1874)

 

You can learn more about her by adding her as your “friend” at facebook.com. I believe one of her fans is maintaining the group.

A.T. Pierson

 

My daughter has one of the books written by AT Pierson, and it amazed me that a 19 year old lady has interest in past writings of great men of God.

 

Writings from A.T. Pierson about the Acts of the Holy Spirit:

 

 

In them [the recipients of the Holy Spirit], He so incarnates Himself that through them He works upon others, so that by the indwelling Holy Spirit they become, like Him, teachers of truth, guiding into all truth; anointed witnesses, testifying to Christ, and glorifying Christ; inspired witnesses, not speaking from themselves, but receiving of the things of Christ and showing them to men; effective witnesses, convincing the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and even prophetic witnesses, showing things to come.

Arthur Tappan Pierson
1837-1911

 

My question: Would you allow the Holy Spirit to do what He wants to do in your life?

A.B. Simpson

 

( I copied this from my other site: “Charisma” )

I believe that the young people of today needs the same stirring of the Holy Spirit that these old pioneers had when they were alive.

 

Writings from A.B. Simpson on The Holy Spirit:

 

 

What is the baptism imparted to us by Christ?

Sometimes we hear this spoken of as if He baptized us with something different from Himself, some sort of influence, or feeling, or power. The truth is, the Spirit Himself is the baptism. Christ baptizes, and it is with or in the Spirit that He baptizes us … the Holy Ghost Himself is our dwelling life.

A.B. Simpson

 

Question: Are we baptized with an influence, a feeling or the Person called the Holy Spirit?

Samuel Logan Brengle

 

 

One of the pioneers of Salvation Army was Samuel Logan Brengle.  The SA of his times was so different from the SA of today. Their emphasis was  on the supernatural preaching of the Word with signs and wonders  and miracles. Healings and deliverances were daily occurrences. Today, SA seems interested in social work and community services, which are good in itself, but it may not save souls. Only the gospel of Jesus save souls from the kingdom of darkness.

 

Writings from his book: Helps to Holiness:

 

 

This is where the devil really begins. Many people who say they are fighting the devil do not know what fighting the devil means. It is a fight of faith in which the soul takes hold of the promises of God, and hold on to it, and believes it, and declares it to be true in spite of all the devil’s lies, in spite of all circumstances and feelings to the contrary, and in which it obeys God, whether God seems to be fulfilling the promise or not. When a soul gets to the point where he will do this, and will hold fast the profession of his faith without wavering, he will soon get out of the fogs and mists and  twilight of doubt and uncertainty into the broad day of perfect assurance.

Salvation Army Commissioner Samuel Logan Brengle

(1860 – 1939)

Your spirit strengthens the body

( I copied this from my other site: “Charisma” )

Writings from Jessie Penn Lewis:

If your spirit is strong your body must become strengthened. Your body is not to carry your spirit, but your spirit should control your body;

 

When your spirit is strong, it assimilates the Spirit-food in the Bible, and you feed your spirit. You need a strong spirit more than a strong body, and even a “strong” mind. Your mind will be stronger, if you have a strong spirit to quicken it, for in that spirit dwells the Holy Spirit. It is the shrine of God. It is the place where God dwells, and the strength of the might of God is to get into your sprit until your spirit is “strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.”

The destruction of fear

 

From the writings of EW Kenyon:

I sought for a cure for fear. It is not in philosophy, it is not in metaphysics, it is not in human religion, scientific or otherwise. Fear can only be destroyed by  the truth coming to us of our emancipation from the power of Satan, of our being right with God. That will destroy fear.

Don’t let Faith die

This post was written for Charisma (one of my sites), but I find it worthwhile to repeat it here for a different audience. From time to time i will post writings of great men and women of God whose words have greatly influence my life. Their insights and wisdom astounds me especially knowing that they lived during an era of the lack of technology and Pentecostal teachings that we  have today.

One of E.W. Kenyon’s statement goes like that:

When faith dies, philosophy flourishes. A living Christ and a living Father God perfectly satisfies, and we have no need of philosophy, we have no need of metaphysics. It is when we lose Christ out of our daily life that we turn to metaphysics and philosophical theories that have no place in the life of faith.

E.W. Kenyon
