Some people read their Bibles in Hebrew, some in Greek; I like to read mine in the Holy Ghost.
Smith WigglesworthThere are four principles we need to maintain: First, read the Word of God. Second, consume the Word of God until it consumes you. Third believe the Word of God. Fourth, act on the Word.
Smith WigglesworthPraise is God's sunlight in the heart. It destroys sin germs. It ripens the fruits of the Spirit. It is the oil of gladness that lubricates life's activities.
Smith WigglesworthIf I read the newspaper I come out dirtier than I went in. If I read my Bible, I come out cleaner than I went in, and I like being clean!
Smith WigglesworthThe man who is going through with God to be used in healing must be a man of longsuffering.
Smith WigglesworthRead the Word. Consume the Word until it consumes you. Believe the Word. Act on the Word.
Smith WigglesworthThe Spirit reveals, unfolds, takes of the things of Christ and shows them to us, and prepares us to be more than a match for Satanic forces.
Smith WigglesworthGod never intended His people to be ordinary or commonplace. His intentions were that they should be on fire for Him, conscious of His divine power, realizing the glory of the cross that foreshadows the crown.
Smith WigglesworthThe moment a man falls into sin, divine life ceases to flow, and his life becomes one of helplessness.
Smith WigglesworthIt is one to say you have faith and another to be in a tight corner and prove it.
Smith WigglesworthGod can so fill a man with His Spirit that he can laugh and believe in the face of a thousand difficulties.
Smith WigglesworthThere is a place where God, through the power of the Holy Ghost, reigns supreme in our lives.
Smith WigglesworthGod longs intensively for unhindered communication and total response between him and the believer indwelt by the Holy Spirit
Smith WigglesworthHow great is the position of the man who is born of God, born of purity, born of faith, born of life, born of power!
Smith WigglesworthI find nothing in the Bible but holiness, and nothing in the world but worldliness. Therefore, if I live in the world, I will become worldly; on the other hand, if I live in the Bible, I will become holy.
Smith WigglesworthI can't understand God by feelings. I can't understand the Lord Jesus Christ by feelings. I can only understand God the Father and Jesus Christ by what the Word says about them. God is everything the Word says He is. We need to get acquainted with Him through the Word.
Smith WigglesworthThe plan of God for your life is that you should be held captive by His power, doing that which you in the natural world would never do, but that which you are forced to do by the power of the Holy Ghost moving through you.
Smith WigglesworthThere are two sides to this Baptism: The first is, you possess the Spirit; The second is that the Spirit possesses you.
Smith WigglesworthPeople could be built far greater in the Lord and be more wonderfully established if they would move out sometimes and think over the graces of the Lord.
Smith WigglesworthThere are two kinds of faith. There is the natural faith. But the supernatural faith is the gift of God.
Smith WigglesworthYou must come to see how wonderful you are in God and how helpless you are in yourself.
Smith WigglesworthIf it is in the Bible, it is so. It's not even to be prayed about. It's to be received and acted upon. Inactivity is a robber which steals blessings. Increase comes by action, by using what we have and know. Your life must be one of going on from faith to faith.
Smith WigglesworthPentecost came with the sound of a mighty rushing wind, a violent blast from heaven! Heaven has not exhausted its blasts, but our danger is we are getting frightened of them.
Smith WigglesworthThe 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. It is an awful thing for me to see people who profess to be Christians lifeless, powerless, and in a place where their lives are so parallel to unbelievers’ lives that it is difficult to tell which place they are in, whether in the flesh or in the Spirit.
Smith WigglesworthThere is a great destructive force that comes upon us when we start comparing ourselves in the flesh with what we could be spiritually. We should never compare what we are with what we could be, because we will always be down on ourselves when we do this. Just look to Jesus and what He is. As long as we look to Jesus we will go toward Him. When we look at our inferiority we will go toward it.
Smith WigglesworthNothing in the world glorifies God so much as simple rest of faith in what God’s Word says.
Smith WigglesworthIn me is working a power stronger than every other power. The life that is in me is a thousand times bigger than I am outside.
Smith WigglesworthWe must be careful not to choose, but to let God's Holy Spirit manage our lives; not to smooth down and explain away, but to stir up the gift and allow God's Spirit to disturb us and disturb us and disturb us until we yield and yield and yield and the possibility in God's mind for us becomes an established fact in our lives, with the rivers in evidence meeting the need of a dying world.
Smith WigglesworthThere is nothing small about our God, and when we understand God we will find out that there ought not to be anything small about us. We must have an enlargement of our conception of God, then we will know that we have come to a place where all things are possible, for our God is an omnipotent God for impossible positions.
Smith WigglesworthI cannot understand how God can give to any of His children glory and virtue, but it nevertheless is true that He does.... There is something about believing in God, that makes God willing to pass over a million people just to anoint you. I believe God will always turn out to meet you on a special line if you dare to believe Him.
Smith WigglesworthThere was never one who came into the world with such loving compassion and who entered into all the needs of the people as did the Lord Jesus. And he declares to us, 'Verily, verily, I say unto you he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father.' [Jn 14.12] God wants us all to have an audacity of faith that dares to believe for all that is set forth in the word.
Smith WigglesworthThere is nothing that our God cannot do. He will do everything if you will dare to believe.
Smith WigglesworthGod's canopy is over you and will cover you at all times, preserving you from evil.
Smith WigglesworthYou must every day make higher ground. You must deny yourself to make progress with God. You must refuse every- thing that is not pure and holy. God wants you pure in heart. He wants you to have an intense desire after holiness... Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is FAITH, which is kindled more and more BY PURITY.
Smith WigglesworthBelieve that when you come into the presence of God you can have all you came for. You can take it away, and you can use it, for all the power of God is at your disposal in response to your faith.
