Smith Wigglesworth described the way Almighty God worked through him.
The key to the evangelist’s success was his simplicity and integrity with God: Which is a mark of the true humility that Moses displayed
Ten Plagues From God
We read of Pharaoh’s stubbornness in the face of God’s successive judgments, and wonder how Egypt’s Ruler could have been so spiritually dense, Exodus 10:3 KJV;
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, That they may serve me.
Could it be that God wonders the same thing about those who call themselves believers in Him?
Meek and Mild?
What about you: Are you humble or obstinate before your Creator?
- Sin is rebellion.
- Unbelief is arrogant pride.
- Doubt is rejection of faith.
- Delay in obedience is disobedience.
- Questioning is frequently seeking to be argumentative dressed up as being inquisitive.
Believing is Humility: What God has written: I Believe!
Whatever God has said: Is fact!
Humility is not being; self-deprecating and obsequious, that’s mere affectation, false-humility.
It doesn’t fool anybody, least of all your omniscient Maker.
He already knows you better than you know your own heart.
Wholehearted Confidence
Humility is believing His word in the core of your being, Your heart, in spite of circumstances and contrary evidence.
That is real faith in Him: And such believers are never dismayed. Halleluia!
Jesus is LORD: But is He Your Lord?
Once you have received Christ as your LORD: Let Him be your LORD
Simply permit Him to rule in your heart now, and always.
Do what He says, be what He wants you to be.
Allow His Spirit to be your Teacher, your Master, your Ruler.
Not merely in your personal beliefs: But invite Him to govern your innermost attitudes, and emotions, your thoughts, words, and thereby, what you do today.
New Creature In Christ
You will find a new way of living on Earth.
You’ll blossom into the new creation in Christ, Father meant you to be.
You’ll discover God leads you constantly, that He is kind, patient, and gentle with His obedient children.
Yielding
The first thing you are going to have to do is let God be LORD in you.
Relinquish your controls to Him, allow Him to reign and rule your personality.
He does not force you, it is your choice to yield to His leading.
Paraphrasing Smith Wigglesworth, it works like this;
First you receive the Revelation of God to your heart, as you Apply it God brings about the Manifestation.
You could summarise it;
Revelation: Application: Manifestation
You will become naturally supernatural, and you’ll begin to enjoy God using you today.
It is what He’s been waiting for all your life.
Dare to begin!
AMEN
