Smith Wigglesworth Sermon: Only Believe
Only Believe
Smith Wigglesworth Sermon
The Clothing of the Spirit for the World's Needs

Only believe... Only believe! God will not fail you, beloved. It is IMPOSSIBLE for God to fail.
Believe Him. Rest in Him, for God's rest is an undisturbed place where Heaven bends to meet you.
God will fulfil the promises made to you in His Word... believe it!
Now, the Bible is the most important book in the world, but some people haven't spent time in it. They need to press in, before they can press on.
Oh, the glorious inheritance of holy joy and faith the Word says we have! The glorious baptism in the Holy Ghost it speaks of is a perfected place! We read that all things are become new in our lives because we are Christ's, and Christ is God's! As we press into truths such as these in God's Word, we will be able to press on to live in God's "Royal Way".
The Royal Way
But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8 KJV
God means for us to be in the Royal Way: in the power of the Holy Ghost, being God's witnesses in the earth. It's the door He wants us to walk through. And when God opens a door, no man can shut it. Through John the Baptist He made a Royal Way, and Jesus went in.
Now He has left it for us, so He can bring forth greater works through us than those done when Jesus walked the earth. Jesus left His disciples with much, but much more is to be added to us until God receives us in that day.
When we receive power, we must stir ourselves up to the truth that we are responsible for the need around us. God will supply our need so that the needs of the needy may be met through us. What a great, indwelling force of power!
If we don't slip into our privileges to meet needs, it is a tragedy.
No Standing Still
God, who ravishes us, brings forth new revelation within the heart. He causes us to be changed by the Spirit from vision to vision, grace to grace, and glory to glory.
There is no standing still for us. As Christ is, so are we in this world: the offspring of God, with impulse Divine. We must get into line! We have the life of the Son of God in us to make the whole Body aflame with fire. We have what it takes to do it, for the Word says;
After ye have received, ye shall have power. (Acts 1:8, paraphrased)
God has given me a blessed ministry. He helps me to stir others up. Our gathering in meetings must be for increase; we must use the power of God in us to win more souls into the kingdom of God. I am zealous for us to come into this Divine plan. If we wait for such power, we have mistaken the position we have through the Spirit.
God Is Waiting -- So ACT!
"If I could only feel the power," we say.
We have been too much on that line. God is waiting for us to act; to be like Jesus. Jesus had 'perfect activity'; He lived in the realm of Divine appointment with the Father's acts ever coming forth.
The pure in heart see God, and our God is a consuming fire. We must dare to press on until God comes forth through us in mighty power. May God give us faith, that the power may come down like a cloud!
When I was in Slovanger, Norway, God said,
"Ask, I will give you every soul!"
It seemed too much to ask. The voice came again;
"Ask!"
I dared to ask. The power of God swept through the meeting like a mighty wind! You want this where you live, so speak all the Word of this life. Press on until Jesus is glorified and multitudes are gathered in. (England, 1925)
