Smith Wigglesworth 4/16 Tuesday Truth

I have concluded Carrie Judd Montgomery's book of sermons (published by A.B. Simpson) and I am returning to the complete sermons of Smith Wigglesworth.


Smith Wigglesworth (1859-1947) was an Englishman who never attended school. He always had a desire for God even though his family never attended church. He was saved at age 8. He vowed to never go to sleep until he had won a soul for Christ. His wife taught him to read. He never read anything but the Bible. He would not allow a newspaper in his house because of the possible negative effect on his faith.

Wigglesworth had one of the greatest evangelism and healing ministries of all time. At least nine people were raised from the dead in his ministry.

Jesus had divine authority with power, and He left it for us. We must preach truth, holiness and purity in the inward parts. . . I am thirsty for more of God. He was not only holy, but He loved holiness. . . For as He is, so are we in this world.
