In the early 20th century, a bold, uneducated British plumber became one of the most powerful voices of faith the world has ever known. His name? Smith Wigglesworth. A man of deep conviction, relentless prayer, and uncompromising belief in the supernatural power of God, Wigglesworth left behind a legacy that still ignites faith today.
From Plumber to Preacher
Born in 1859 in Yorkshire, England, Wigglesworth had humble beginnings. He couldn’t read until adulthood, but his hunger for God led him to devour the Bible once he learned. His ministry began quietly but soon erupted into a global force as miracles, healings, and salvation followed wherever he preached. He attributed every ounce of his success to faith in the Word of God and the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
He wasn’t eloquent. He wasn’t polished. But he was on fire.
A Man of Miracles
Smith Wigglesworth was known for:
- Healing thousands from terminal illnesses
- Raising more than a dozen people from the dead (yes, documented cases)
- Traveling the globe with a simple gospel message: “Only believe.”
He didn’t sugarcoat truth. He didn’t rely on human wisdom. He depended solely on the Holy Spirit and the authority of Scripture.
Faith That Moved Mountains
Wigglesworth’s faith was confrontational, raw, and deeply rooted in the Word. He lived what he preached. He often said, “If the Spirit doesn’t move me, I’ll move the Spirit.” He believed faith wasn’t passive—it was aggressive, active, and obedient.
To this day, his teachings challenge believers to rise above lukewarm Christianity and walk in bold, miraculous faith.
