DISCIPLES OF JESUS MINISTRY

  

Smith Wigglesworth on the Power of the Word

Smith Wigglesworth had a major healing ministry in the early to mid 1900's.i believe, he was one of the greatest men of God to have ever walked this earth. If God has a hall of fame, this man will definitely be in it. The only book he had ever read was the Bible.

One of the main secrets to his incredible healing ministry was his strength of undaunting faith, and that is why there were so many mighty miracles in his ministry. He was called the "APOSTLE OF FAITH" because of his strong faith. He believed everything he read in the Bible and was not afraid to push through the limits in his faith with God. One of his favorite sayings was: "If the Spirit doesn't move me, I'll move Him."

Smith Wigglesworth  spoke on the the POWER of the word of God. I'm going to type this out for you because I would consider this a "classic statement" on how powerful the Bible and the individual Scripture verses really are. Here was the message.

The Message

"Fill your head and your heart with the Scriptures. Memorize passages from the Word, with the name of the book, the chapter, and the verse, so that you can quote the Scripture correctly in addresses or in open-air meetings.

As you do this, you are sowing in your heart seeds, which the Spirit of God can germinate. He can bring to your remembrance from time to time that which you have once memorized. You must be so soaked with the Word of God, you must be filled with it, that you yourself are a living epistle, known and read of all men.

Believers are strong only as the Word of God abides in them. The Word of God is spirit and life to those who receive it in simple faith, and it is a verifier of all who own its sway. Know your Book, live it, believe it, and obey it. Hide God's word in your heart. It will save your soul, quicken your body, illumine your mind. The Word of God is full and final, infallible, reliable, and up-to-date, and our attitude towards it must be one of unquestioned obedience.

If a thing is in the Bible, it is so; it is not even to be prayed about; it is to be received and acted upon. Inactivity of faith is a robber, which steals blessing. Increase comes by action, by using what we have and what we know. Your life must be one of going from faith to faith."
