Below you will find a list of powerful faith statements by Smith Wigglesworth. Wigglesworth, born in 1859, was a remarkable figure in the annals of Christian history. His life, marked by extraordinary encounters with God, left an indelible mark on the body of Christ. Before his encounter with the Holy Spirit, Wigglesworth worked as a plumber, laboring diligently in his trade.
It was at the age of forty-eight that Wigglesworth received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, an event that changed the course of his life forever. From that moment on, he became an instrument of God’s power, preaching the Gospel with fervor and ministering supernatural healing to those in need.
Wigglesworth traveled extensively, both in his native England and throughout the world, sharing the transformative message of Christ’s love and healing. His remarkable ministry of faith-filled preaching and miraculous healing impacted countless lives, drawing people closer to God and shining a light in the darkest corners.
Humble and unassuming, Wigglesworth never sought personal fame or recognition. His focus was always on the Lord and being obedient to His call. He had a deep love for people, regardless of their social status or background, and his compassion and warmth attracted many to seek his counsel and prayer.
Wigglesworth’s faith was unwavering, rooted in the authority of Scripture and the belief that God’s power was available to believers in every era. He believed in the power of prayer and spent significant time in communion with God, seeking His guidance and direction for his life and ministry.
Today, Smith Wigglesworth’s legacy lives on in the countless testimonies of healing and transformation that continue to be shared by those impacted by his ministry. His life serves as a powerful reminder that ordinary individuals, when filled with the Holy Spirit and anchored in faith, can become vessels of God’s extraordinary power and bring about a miraculous change in the world.
Smith Wigglesworth’s passion, zeal, and unwavering faith continue to inspire and challenge believers to pursue a deeper relationship with God and to embrace the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s power. As the Apostle of Faith, his life serves as a testament to the incredible things that can be accomplished when one fully surrenders to God’s plan and allows Him to work through them.
Quotes from Smith Wigglesworth

to the place where you can laugh at the impossible.”

demons. Can disease lodge in the body that you touch? You have to be greater than the

“If it is in the Bible, it is so. It’s not even to be prayed about. It’s to be

Is salvation and healing for all? It is for all who will press in and get their
portion. The word can drive every disease away from your body. It is your portion in
Christ, Him who is our bread, our life, our health, our all in all.”

Men can get wrong by all the time preaching on water baptism. But we never go
wrong in exalting the Lord Jesus Christ, giving Him the preeminent place and
magnifying Him as both Lord and Christ, yes, as very God of very God. As we are
filled with the Holy Spirit our one desire is to magnify Him. We need to be filled with
the Spirit to get the full revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Mario Murrillo: “We have been deluded into believing that there are two kinds
of war, physical and spiritual, but there is only war . . . . Lucifer has bewitched Christians
into accepting a subtle lie that has huge consequences. We say the Christian life is like
a war. It sounds innocent, but it casts a disastrous symbolism to something that is
desperately real. If we are in something like a war, then the bible becomes something
like the word of God, and we face something like an attack, and we put on something like
the armor of God. . . . Our methods and traditions have helped the devil create an entire
generation that is informed but not transformed.”
John G. Lake: “Christianity did not come to the world to apologize for its
existence or to beg a place to live. It came as heaven’s champion: it has the champion
soul. “It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (Gen. 3:15). That
champion consciousness is in the soul of the Christian. Being born of God, he is
champion of the son of God and a demonstration His salvation. He is the champion of
God. He cannot be anything else. ‘As he is so are we in this world.’ (1Jn. 4:17). . . . I
fear sometimes that we moderns somehow have lost the spirit of original Christianity. We
have lost the overcoming of it. We have lost the smash of it. We are begging the devil
for a place in the world, apologizing for our faith in God, trying to conform our religion to
A. W. Tozer: “Every man is as full of the Holy Spirit as he wants to be. He may
not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be.”
China Missionary Arthur Matthews: “We are only as victorious as we want to
be. Lack of inner victory cannot be blamed on anyone but ourselves. Each man has his
own measuring cup and measures out the quantity of victory he desires. Beyond that,
for some perverse reason, we will not stretch ourselves. Today, the message of victory
is being misrepresented, cheapened, and diluted by Christians who are content with
lowered standards and limited victory because in their hearts, they do not really want
