Before leaving home, I received a wire telling me that I should go to Liverpool. There was a woman with cancer and gallstones who was down with much discouragement. If I know God is sending me, my faith rises. God sent me to her.
The woman said, “I have no hope.”
“Well,” I said, “I have not come from Bradford to go back home with a bad report.”
God said to me, “Establish her in the fact of the new birth.” When she had the assurance that her sin was gone and she was born again, she said, “That (salvation) is everything to me. Cancer is nothing now. I have Jesus!”
The battle was won. God delivered her. She was free from sin and disease. She got up, dressed and was happy in Jesus.
Healing Principle
When God speaks, it is as a nail in a sure place.
Will you believe?
Pray this prayer today: Jesus, You are my salvation and my healing. I believe that You alone can set me free from sin and sickness. Amen.
Healed By His Word
“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” (Ps. 107:20). Now there are some people here for healing; maybe some want salvation; maybe others want sanctification and the baptism of the Spirit.
Healing Principle
You can be healed if you will hear the Word.
This Word says it is by faith that it might be by grace. Grace is omnipotence. It is activity, benevolence and mercy. It is truth, perfection and God’s inheritance in the soul that can believe.
God gives us a negative side. What is it? It is by faith. Grace is God. You open the door by faith, and God comes in with all you want. It cannot be otherwise, for it is, “of faith that it might be by grace” (Rom. 4:16). It cannot be by grace unless you say it shall be so.
This is believing, and most people want healing by feeling. It cannot be. Some even want salvation on the same line, and they say, “Oh, if I could feel I was saved, brother!” It will never come that way.
Pray this prayer today: Almighty God, help me set aside my own thoughts and feelings for Thy truth. By Thy Word, not my feelings, I am healed. Hallelujah!

Smith Wigglesworth was born to a very poor family. At the age of six he had to go to work. As a consequence, he never learned to read well until he was an adult. Later he claimed he never read anything but the Bible. He became a plumber by trade.
As a minister, Wigglesworth was hardly known outside of his hometown until 1907. In 1907, he received the baptism in the Holy Ghost, which changed his life forever. It was then, at the age of 48, that God moved Wigglesworth from a small relatively unknown ministry to conducting powerful meetings throughout the world, stirring the faith of thousands to receive healing and salvation. Wigglesworth would usually conclude a sermon by praying for the sick; regardless of what text he had ministered.
Smith Wigglesworth's ministry centered on salvation for the unconverted, healing for the sick, and a call to believers to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. He was filled with God...with love, compassion, and faith.
Wigglesworth said, "To hunger and thirst after righteousness is when nothing in the world can fascinate us so much as being near to God."
On March 12, 1947, Smith Wigglesworth, in perfect health, closed his eyes and slipped into eternity, at the age of 87.
