March 13 Devotional:
Energized by the Spirit:
When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31 Scripture reading: Ephesians 3:14–21 It is a necessity for every one of us to be filled with God. It is not sufficient to have just a touch or to be filled with just a desire. Only one thing will meet the needs of the people, and that is for you to be immersed in the life of God. This means that God takes you and fills you with His Spirit until you live right in God. He does this so that “whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, it may be all to the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31). In that place you will find that all your strength and all your mind and all your soul are filled with a zeal, not only for worship, but also for proclamation. This proclamation is accompanied by all the power of God, which must move satanic power and disturb the world. The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with attending meetings weekly, reading the Bible occasionally, and praying sometimes. Beloved, if God lays hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything and a beginning in God. Your
whole body will become seasoned with a divine likeness of God. He will not only begin to use you, but also take you in hand, so that you might be “a vessel for honor” (2 Tim. 2:21). Our lives are not to be lived for ourselves, for if we live for ourselves we will die (Rom. 8:13); but if “by the Spirit we put to death the deeds of the body, we will live” (v. 13). He who lives in the Spirit is subject to the powers of God, but he who lives for himself will die. The man who lives in the Spirit lives a life of freedom, joy, blessing, and service a life that brings blessing to others. God wants us see that we must live in the Spirit.
Thought for today: Jesus came to bring back to us what was forfeited in the Garden.

March 14 Devotional:
Ministering in the Gifts of Healings:
For to one is given…gifts of healings.1 Corinthians 12:8–9 Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 12:4–11 The gifts of healings are wonderful gifts. There is a difference between having a gift of healing and “gifts of healings.” God wants us not to come short in anything (1 Cor.1:7). (Smith Wigglesworth) I like this term “gifts of healings.” To have these gifts, I must bring myself into conformity with the mind and will of God. It would be impossible for you to have gifts of healings unless you possessed that blessed fruit of longsuffering. You will find that these gifts run parallel to that which will bring them into operation.How is it possible to minister the gifts of healings considering the peculiarities there are in the churches and the many evil powers of Satan that confront us and possess bodies? The person who wants to go through with God and exercise the gifts of healings has to be a person of longsuffering, always having a word of comfort. If the one who is in distress and helpless doesn‘t see eye to eye with us about every matter and doesn‘t get all he wants, longsuffering Christians will bear and forbear. Longsuffering is a grace Jesus lived in and moved in. He was filled with compassion, and God will never be able to move us to help the needy until we reach that place. You might think by the way I went about praying for the sick that I was sometimes unloving and rough, but oh, friends, you have no idea what I see behind the sickness and the one who is afflicted. I am not dealing with the person; I am dealing with the satanic forces that are binding the afflicted. As far as people go, my heart is full of love and compassion for all, but I fail to see how you will ever reach a place where God will be able to use you until you get angry at the Devil. One day a pet dog followed a lady out of her house and ran all around her feet. She said to the dog, I cannot have you with me today. The dog wagged its tail and made a great fuss. Go home, pet, she said, but it didn‘t go. At last she shouted roughly, Go home! and off it went. Some people play with the Devil like that. Poor thing, they
say. The Devil can stand all the comfort anybody in the world could give him. Cast him out! You are not dealing with the person; you are dealing with the Devil. If you say with authority, Come out, you demons, in the name of the Lord! they must come out. You will always be right when you dare to treat sickness as the Devil‘s work. Gifts of healings are so varied that you will often find the gift of discernment operating in connection with them. Moreover, the manifestations of the Spirit are given to us “for the profit of all” (1 Cor. 12:7). You must never treat a cancer case as anything else but a living, evil spirit that is destroying the body. It is one of the worst kind of evil spirits I know. Not that the Devil has anything good every disease of the Devil is bad, either to a greater or lesser degree but this form of disease is one that you must cast out. In casting out demons, we have to be careful about who gives the command. Man may say, Come out,! but unless his command is by the Spirit of God, man‘s words are useless. You must be sure of your ground; you must be sure that there is a power mightier than you that is destroying the Devil. Take your position from the first epistle of John and say, “Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4 KJV). If you think the power comes from you, you make a great mistake. It comes from your being filled with Him, from His acting in the place of you your thoughts, your words, your all being used by the Spirit of God.
Thought for today: It is no mistake to declare yourself against the Devil.

March 15 Devotional:
Ministering to a Lame Man:
I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.1 Timothy 2:8 Scripture reading: 1 Timothy 3 (Smith Wigglesworth) I remember when I was at Antwerp and Brussels. The power of God was very mighty upon me there. Going on to London, I called on some friends. To show you the leading of the Lord, these friends said, Oh, God sent you here. How much we need you! There was a young man twenty-six years old who had been in bed eighteen years. His body was much bigger than an ordinary body because of inactivity, but his legs were like a child‘s. He had never been able to dress himself. When his family received the wire saying we were coming, the father dressed the young man. He was sitting in a chair when we arrived. I felt it was one of the opportunities of my life. I said to this young man, What is the greatest desire of your heart? Oh,he said, to be filled with the Holy Spirit! I put my hands on him and said, Receive; receive the Holy Spirit. Instantly he became drunk with the Spirit and fell off the chair like a big bag of potatoes. I saw what God could do with a helpless cripple. First, his head began shaking terrifically; then his back began moving very fast, and then his legs. Then he spoke clearly in tongues, and we wept and praised the Lord. Looking at his legs, I saw that they were still as they had been, by all appearances, and this is where I missed it. These missing are sometimes God‘s opportunities of teaching us important lessons. He will teach us through our weaknesses what is not faith. It was not faith for me to look at that body, but human nature. The man who wants to work the works of God must never look at conditions but at Jesus, in whom everything is complete. I looked at the boy, and there was absolutely no help. I turned to the Lord and said, Lord, tell me what to do, and He did. He said, Command him to walk in My name. This is where I missed it. I looked at his condition. I got the father to help lift him up to see if his legs had strength. We did our best, but he and I together could not move him. Then the Lord showed me my mistake, and I said, God, forgive me. I got right down and repented and said to the Lord, Please tell me again. God is so good. He never leaves us to ourselves. Again He said to me, Command him in My name to walk. So I shouted, Arise and walk in the name of Jesus. Did he do it? No, I declare he never walked. He was lifted up by the power of God in a moment, and he ran. The door was wide open; he ran out across the road into a field where he ran up and down and came back. Oh, it was a miracle!
Thought for today: Faith is actively refusing the power of the Devil.

March 16 Devotional:
I Am the Lord Who Heals You:
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:14–15 Scripture reading: James 5:7–20 We have in this precious Word a real basis for the truth of healing. In these verses God gives very definite instructions to the sick. If you are sick, your part is to call for the elders of the church; it is their part to anoint and pray for you in faith. Then the whole situation rests with the Lord. When you have been anointed and prayed for, you can rest assured that the Lord will raise you up. It is the Word of God. I believe that we all can see that the church cannot play with this business. If believers turn away from these clear instructions, they are in a place of tremendous danger. Those who refuse to obey do so to their unspeakable loss. Many turn away from the Lord like King Asa, who “in his disease…did not seek the LORD” (2 Chron. 16:12). Consequently, “he died” (v. 13). Does the Lord meet those who look to Him for healing and who obey the instructions set forth in the book of James? Most assuredly. He will undertake for the most extreme case.(Smith Wigglesworth) A woman came into one of my meetings suffering terribly. Her whole arm was filled with poison, and her blood was so diseased that it was certain to bring her to her death. We rebuked the thing, and the next day she testified that she was without pain and had slept all night, a thing she had not done for two months. To God be all the praise! You will find that He will do this kind of thing all along.God provides the double cure, for even if sin has been the cause of the sickness, His Word declares in James 5:15, “If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
Thought for today: If you turn away from any part of God‘s truth, the enemy will certainly get an advantage over you.

March 17 Devotional:
Kept by God’s Power:
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept. John 17:12 Scripture reading: John 17 There are evil powers, but Jesus is greater than all evil powers. There are tremendous diseases, but Jesus is the Healer. No case is too hard for Him. The Lion of Judah will break every chain. He came to relieve the oppressed and to set the captive free (Luke 4:18). He came to bring redemption, to make us as perfect as man was before the Fall. People want to know how to be kept by the power of God. He will contend for your body. When you are saved, Satan will come around and say, See, you are not saved. The Devil is a liar. I remember the story of the man whose life was swept and put in order. The evil power had been swept out of him. But the man was not filled with the Holy Spirit. If the Lord heals you, you dare not remain unresponsive to His Spirit. The evil spirit came back to that man, found his house swept, and took seven others worse than himself and dwelt there. The last stage of that man was worse than the first. (See Matthew 12:43–45.) Be sure to get filled with God. Get an Occupier. Be filled with the Spirit.God‘s power cannot come out of you unless it is within you. We must have all inward confidence and knowledge that we are God‘s property, bought and paid for by the precious blood of Jesus. God wants you to know how to claim the victory and shout in the face of the Devil and say, Lord, it is done. (See Revelation 21:6.) God has a million ways of undertaking for those who go to Him for help. He has deliverance for every captive. He loves you so much that He even says, “Before they call, I will answer” (Isa 65:24). Don‘t turn Him away.
Thought for today: Every position of grace into which you are led to forgiveness, healing, any kind of deliverance will be contested by Satan.
