People could be built far greater in the Lord and be more wonderfully established if they would move out sometimes and think over the graces of the Lord.

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.
