We have a big God. We have a wonderful Jesus. We have a glorious Comforter. God's canopy is over you and will cover you at all times, preserving you from evil. Under His wings shalt thou trust. The Word of God is living and powerful and in its treasures you will find eternal life. If you dare trust this wonderful Lord, the Lord of life, you will find in Him everything you need.
--Smith Wigglesworth, 1922
The purpose of this blog site is to share power-filled quotations from early Twentieth Century Christian writers whom the contemporary reader is not likely to encounter in his devotional reading.

These Things Are Possible for Me
I am glad that Paul was a man. I am glad that Jesus was a Man. I am glad that Daniel was a man, and I am also glad that John was a man. You ask, "Why?" Because I see that whatever God has done for other men, He can do for me. And I fnd God has done such wonderful things for other men that I am always on the expectation that these things are possible for me. -- Smith Wigglesworth

We Never Saw It Like That
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. --Mark 2:12 If anything stirs me in my life it is such words as these, "We never saw it on this fashion." Something ought to happen all the time so that people will say, "We never saw it like that." If there is anything that God is dissatisfied with, it is stationary conditions. So may people stop on the threshold, when God, in His great plan, is inviting them into His treasury. Oh, this treasury of the Most High, the unsearchable riches of Christ, this divine position which God wants to move us into so that we are altogether a new creation. -- Smith Wigglesworth

Housecleaning for Jesus
You say, "There are many things in my house that would have to be thrown out the window if Jesus came to my home." Would to God we could understand it for He is in the house all the time. All the things ought to go out the window that couldn't stand His eyes on them. Every impression of our hearts that brought trouble when He looked at us ought to go forever. --Smith Wigglesworth

Our Confidence
We have no confidence in the flesh. Our confidence can only be stayed and relied in the One who never fails, in the One who knows the end from the beginning, in the One who is able to come in at the midnight hour as easy as in the noonday, and make the night and the day alike to the man who rests completely in the will of God, knowing that "all things work together for good to them that love Him," and trust in Him. And such trust have we in Him.

A Big Jesus
He is a big Jesus! If I could measure Him I would be very small. But I cannot measure Him, and I know He is very large. I am glad I cannot measure Jesus but I am glad I can touch Him all the same.

Nothing Else is Worthwhile
God is a real essence of joy to us in a time when it seems barrenness, when it seems nothing can help us but the light from heaven, far above the brightness of the sun. Then that touches you, then that changes you, and you realize nothing is worthwhile but that.
