Four Generations

The Holy Spirit began teaching Smith the varying degrees of faith. He first taught that faith could be created in others.

An example of this concept was a young boy who was seriously ill. The family had sent for Smith, but when Smith arrived, the mother met him at the door, saying, 'You are too late. There is nothing that can be done for him" Smith replied, "God has never sent me anywhere too late."The boy's condition was so bad, that if he were to be moved, his heart would stop and he would die. Needless to say, the family had no faith and the boy was too sick to believe for himself. Before he could pray for the boy, Smith had to leave for an engagement at a local chapel. But before he left their home, he told the family he would return. He then instructed them to lay out the boy's clothes because the Lord was going to raise him up. When Smith returned, the family had not done what he asked, and when they saw his faith, they were embarrassed and immediately set out the boy's clothes. Smith asked them to put only socks on his feet. Then inside the boy's room, Smith closed the door and told the lifeless boy that something would happen different from anything he had experienced before. "When I place my hands on you the glory of the Lord will fill the place till I shall not be able to stand. I shall be helpless on the floor."The moment Smith touched the boy, the power of God filled the room and was so strong that Smith fell to the floor. Suddenly, the boy began to yell, "This is for Your Glory, Lord!" Smith was still on the floor when the boy arose and dressed himself Opening the door, the boy yelled, "Dad! God has healed me! I am healed!"

The moment Smith touched the boy the power of God filled the room and was so strong that Smith fell to the floor. Suddenly, the boy began to yell, "This is for Your Glory, Lord!"

Such glory filled the house that the mother and father fell to the floor also. His sister, who had been released from an asylum, was instantly restored in her mind. The entire village was moved and revival began throughout their city.

On that miraculous day, Smith learned how to transfer faith by the laying on of hands. His ministry would never be the same, for he had learned a new degree of faith. Faith could be created and transferred into the life of another!

"RUN, WOMAN. RUN!"

As his faith began to increase, the Lord showed him another principle of faith: Faith should be acted upon.

Until then, the average believer seemed to think that God moved only in a sovereign way. They felt they had no part in it The ministry of Smith Wigglesworth brought a new light to this dark area. Through his deep relationship
