This devotional is powerful (as are all the devotionals I read in this book). It talks about the power we have in Jesus' name. Smith Wigglesworth talks about how a man, on his way to kill his unfaithful wife, stops to listen to one of his sermons and can not take another step toward the direction of his wife. He is intrigued by the name of Jesus. He talks about another man who had palsy, was shaky all over, and could not walk, but was anointed with oil and healed by the power of Jesus.
Why don't we see more of this all the time? Why aren't these things happening in our own lives? Are we short changing God? Or do we not have the faith?
I imagine Smith Wigglesworth had great faith and believed the words he preached. Otherwise, the man on the way to killing his wife would have never stopped. When we talk about God, do we talk with confidence and faith? Do we believe the words that come out of our mouth? Or do we say things because it sounds good? It makes me think. "Out of the mouth comes life and death."
Wigglesworth leaves the devotion with this thought: "There is nothing our God cannot do. He will do everything if you dare to believe."
Don't short change God. We serve a big God. Let's have the faith to move mountains. Our world could sure use it.
