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. 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 unbelieversโ lives that it is difficult to tell which place they are in, whether in the flesh or in the Spirit.
Smith WigglesworthRead the Word. Consume the Word until it consumes you. Believe the Word. Act on the Word.
Smith WigglesworthGod wants to purify our minds until we can bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things. God dwells in you, but you cannot have this divine power until you live and walk in the Holy Ghost, until the power of the new life is greater than the old life.
Smith WigglesworthYou have to bring your mind to the Word of God and not try to bring the Word of God to your mind.
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.
