Anyone Who Has Faith
So he went to the meeting. When he came back he said,
“We had a wonderful time.”
“What happened?”
He said, “I invited them all out, took off my coat and rolled up my sleeves, and prayed, and they were all healed. I did just like you did.”
Jesus says, “I give you power over all the power of the enemy.”
They entered into the houses and healed the sick that were therein.
Not I: But Christ in Me
The ministry of divine operation in us is wonderful, but who would take upon himself to say, “I can do this or that?”
If it is God, it is alright, but if it is yourself, it is all wrong.
When you are weak, then you are strong.
When you are strong in your own strength, you are weak.
You must realize this, and live only in the place where the power of God rests upon you.
Then God will mightily manifest His power, and you will know, as Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.”
God brings a remarkable, glorious fact to our minds tonight; the healing of a little helpless girl.
The physicians had failed. The mother said to the father, “There is only one hope… if you can see Jesus! As sure as you can meet Jesus, our daughter will live.”
Do you think it is possible for anybody anywhere to go looking for Jesus, without seeing Him?
Is it possible to think about Jesus, without Jesus drawing near?
No!
This man knew the power there was in the Name of Jesus: “In my Name shall ye cast out devils.”
But we must be sure we know that Name, for in Acts 19, the seven sons of Sceva said, to a man possessed with devils, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preached to come out,” The evil spirit said, “I know Paul, and I know Jesus, but who are you?”
Yes, the Devil knows every believer; and the seven sons of Sceva nearly lost their lives. The evil powers came upon them, and they barely escaped.
The Secret to Wigglesworth’s Ministry
It is more than repeating the Name; it is the nature of the Name in you, it is more than that, it is the divine personality within the human life which has come to take up His abode in you, and when He becomes all in all, then God works through the life.
The Lord is that life, and the ministry of it, and the power in the ministry, by the Holy Spirit, brings everybody in such a place of divine relationship, that He mightily lives in us, and enables us to overcome the powers of the enemy.
The Lord healed that child as they got a vision of Jesus. The Word of the Lord came, not with observation, but with divine mighty power, working in them until, by the power of the Spirit, men and women were created anew by this new life divine.
We have to see, that when this new life comes to us by the power of the Holy Ghost, it is according to the will of God that we speak; not with men’s wisdom, but with divine minds operated by the Word of God: Not channels only, but as oracles of the Spirit.
As the ruler of the synagogue sought Jesus, he worshipped Him.
How they gathered around Him!
How everybody listened to what He had to say!
