ONLY BELIEVE



This is Smith Wigglesworth. He is one of my favorite "generals" in God's army.

He moved with great power and compassion of God. He fed himself God's Word continuously, and THAT is what brought him great faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. It's been said that he didn't go much longer than 15 minutes at a time without pulling out a small bible from his coat pocket to read.

Since we're to be speaking and agreeing with what God says, if we don't KNOW what God has to say, we won't be speaking what it is He's said in His Word.....will we? :)

If we don't KNOW God's character, it is easy to assume what He wants we'll speak what we either see at hand or what we've been told or what we've assumed about Him and seems logical at the time. None of which produces faith or gets what God wants done.

Mr. Wigglesworth knew what God said, He was quick to agree with Him and was LED by God's Spirit. God was able to flow through Mr. Wigglesworth to get what HE wanted done. Many great signs and wonders by God.

This is an excerpt of a book by him..."SMith Wigglesworth Only Believe".

Jesus says, "Do not be afraid; only believe" (Mark 5:36). The people in whom God delights are the ones who rest upon His Word without wavering. God has nothing for the man who doubts, for "let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord" (James 1:7). Therefore, I would like us to get this verse deep down into our hearts, until it penetrates every fiber of our being: "Only believe!" We know that "all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). "Only believe."

James 1:6-8 tells us
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

GOD HELP US not to be doubleminded about Your Word. Thank You for reminding us to refer to YOU and to be steadfast and in agreement with YOU. In Jesus' Name.
