It is a glorious fact, we are in God's presence, possessed by Him; we are not our own, we are clothed with Another. What for? For the deliverance of the people. Many can testify to the day and hour when they were delivered from sickness by a supernatural power. Some would have passed away with influenza if God had not intervened, but God stepped in with a new revelation, showing us we are born from above, born by a new power, God dwelling in us superseding the old. "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it" (John 14:14). Ask and receive, and your joy shall be full, if ye dare to believe (John 16:24) . . . God is more anxious to answer than we are to ask. I am speaking of faith based upon knowledge.
-- Smith Wigglesworth, 1919 (near the end of the worldwide flu pandemic)
