The plan of God for your life is that you should be held captive by His power, doing that which you in the natural world would never do, but that which you are forced to do by the power of the Holy Ghost moving through you.

Smith Wigglesworth

Smith Wigglesworth (1859–1947) war ein englischer Evangelist der frühen Pfingstbewegung, der von Bradford aus auf weltweiten Predigtreisen wirkte. Er wurde bekannt durch seine radikale Verkündigung über die Geistestaufe, die bedingungslose Gültigkeit biblischer Verheißungen und Berichte über göttliche Heilungen. Während er vielen als Vorbild kompromisslosen Glaubens gilt, stoßen seine teils handgreifliche Gebetspraxis und die theologische Verknüpfung von Krankheit mit mangelndem Glauben auf deutliche Kritik.
