Divine Life and Divine Health | Smith Wigglesworth Sermon

Paul says the Spirit of the God who raised Jesus dwells in believers and will give life to their mortal bodies.

Sermon overview

Romans 8 places the body in the story of redemption and resurrection. Read verse 11 within the chapter’s account of the Spirit’s presence.

Compare Paul’s hope in verse 11 with his language about waiting for bodily redemption in verse 23. Both belong to his argument.

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.
