[b]The Power of the Word of God by Smith Wigglesworth[/b]

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.

I haven't seen Wigglesworth in these forums in a long, long time. Oh, this is so timely, brother. I don't know of any other preacher in modern history who had a more wonderful balance of purity and power. He lived to be 87 and till the very end he maintained a humble, holy life and remained utterly sold out to God. There is such a childlike purity in his teachings that always astounds me. A man must walk very close to God to have this simplicity!

I still think Wiggleworth's teachings are too simple for me to grasp. I am just not at that level yet; I've learnt too much, read too many Christian books other than the Bible. Studied theology. Learnt far too many different "isms." This one Wigglesworth excerpt you posted here is just so pure, so simple, so utterly life-changing and transforming that if we can just push all our gathered, lofty baggage out of our minds and grasp its core essence, we can suddenly and utterly [i]stagger[/i] the world for Jesus Christ.
