A Sermon from Smith Wigglesworth

There are times when I am at a loss for words and I don't always have a message to post here.  So I will post a message from a man who truly served God.

A Life of Perfect Activity by Smith Wigglesworth

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
--Philippians 4:19

Scripture reading: Acts 5:14-42

Only believe! God will not fail you, beloved. It is impossible for God to fail. Believe God; rest in Him. The Bible is the most important book in the world. But some people have to be pressed in before they can be pressed on. Oh, this glorious inheritance of holy joy and faith, this glorious baptism in the Holy Spirit--it is a perfected place. "All things have become new" (2 Cor. 5:17), because "you are Christ's, and Christ is God's" (1 Cor. 3:23).

God means for us to walk in this royal way. When God opens a door, no man can shut it (Rev. 3:8). John made a royal way, and Jesus walked in it. Jesus left us the responsibility of allowing Him to bring forth through us the greater works (John 14:12). Jesus left His disciples with much and with much more to be added until God receives us in that Day.

When we receive power, we must stir ourselves up with the truth that we are responsible for the need around us. God will supply all our need so that the need of the needy may be met through us. God has given us a great indwelling force of power. If we do not step into our privileges, it is a tragedy.

There is no standing still. "As He is, so are we in this world" (1John 4:17). "We are the offspring of God" (Acts 17:29), and we have divine impulses. After we have received, we will have power. We have been focusing too much on feeling the power. God is waiting for us to act. Jesus lived a life of perfect activity. He lived in the realm of divine appointment.

We must dare to press on until God comes forth in mighty power. May God give us the hearing of faith so that the power may come down like a cloud. Press on until Jesus is glorified and multitudes are gathered in.

Thought for today: God's rest is an undisturbed place where heaven bends to meet you.

Means Nothing

Success means nothing if you can't share it. Have you ever felt this way? I can make all the money in the world, have notoriety, fans, you name it but what's the point.

The longer I live the more I see that I need people in my life. Friends, family, and of course those who may become family. It's great not just to tell them how you are doing but hearing back. We all need it. Nobody can stand alone!



Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. (NIV, Leviticus 19:18)




You have heard that the law of Moses says, "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and on the unjust, too. If you love only those who love you, what good is that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (NLT, Matthew 5:43-48)
