A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries

How can a Spirit-filled believer walk by the Spirit daily?

Paul describes a way of life marked by the Spirit’s fruit and by keeping in step with Him.

Read the passage in context

The 1923 issue introduces the message as a sermon on the operation of spiritual gifts. Wigglesworth opens with 1 Corinthians 12, which can be read alongside Paul’s account of the Spirit’s fruit in Galatians 5.

From the passage to daily life

Paul ends the paragraph with a warning about provoking and envying one another. Read the fruit of the Spirit with those everyday temptations in view.

How Wigglesworth influenced Vince Baker

Vince Baker came to Christ on July 9 at age 17. For his July 26 birthday, his grandmother gave him Albert Hibbert’s Smith Wigglesworth: The Secret of His Power.

Vince recalls that God spoke to him as he read about Wigglesworth’s life and ministry. The book shaped his own walk with God and the way he teaches about faith, prayer, and yielding to the Holy Spirit.
