Ever Increasing Faith

In the first chapter Wigglesworth tells us that God "can plan for you, and when He plans for you, all is peace." In terms of mercy, he adds "the Lord was full of compassion. If He marked our sins, where would any of us be?" Faith and love are linked in this chapter. Logically flowing from the first chapter on faith, the second one addresses capturing one's thoughts. He writes "the devil knows that if he can capture your thought life, he has won a mighty victory over you." Wigglesworth reminds us that the ministry of Jesus did not end when He returned to the Father, but He continues working through those indwelt by Him. He goes back to the point he made in the first chapter, reminding us that God never fails to plan the best things for us. Faith is a consistent theme throughout the book. On page 46 he writes "faith is the open door through which the Lord comes." There's an excellent section on intercessory prayer in the middle portion of the book. In terms of God's ways being unlimited, Wigglesworth phrases it "God has a million ways of undertaking for those who go to Him for help" (p. 59). So many powerful insights fill this book. It's a challenge to hit the high points, but another focused quote that brings out a poignant truth is "there is one thing certain: there is no such thing as seeking without finding" (p. 63). This book will make a powerfully positive difference in the life of anyone who reads it with a seeking heart.

Smith Wigglesworth has been described as the "Apostle of Faith". This little book is evidence of the aptness of that description!Ever Increasing Faith is jam-packed with sermons, eye-witness accounts of his ministry, and reflections on God's goodness, grace and power.Wheelchair-bound children, old women with cancer, men deaf from birth, and thousands of others were miraculously healed by God during Wigglesworth's ministry. Seven people were raised from the dead, including Polly, Smith's wife. What is most touching though, is to see his humility, his passion to glorify God, and his earnest desire to be closer and closer to Christ. He was an empty vessel, desiring to be more and more filled with the Holy Spirit. God used him in mightier ways than any other twentieth century evangelist. His wife Polly taught him how to read and the Holy Spirit taught him how to preach. And preach he did, doing the work of God, bringing thousands around the world to the place of wonder, of healing, and to salvation.This book is a feast for anyone who is hungry for more of God.

Short and sweet, this book will revive, bless, and encourage you! You need this book. Whether you have experienced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:2, Matt.3:1) or are seeking God for more of His annointing, you will read this book over and over, because it is filled with the truth and power of what God's Word + The Holy Spirit can and will do in Your life! Get it;NOW!

I read this book about 2 years ago when I was 15yrs old, and then again, and I still haven't stopped. There is something new every time I read a sermon over. I have read many other books of Wigglesworth and his sermons and this has to be at the top of the list. This compilation of sermons would have to be his greatest in print. There is advice for every situation I'm ever in and I have decided to refer to this book for the rest of my life (second to the bible of course). Last night I read a chapter and it was one of the most awesome times I have had with God for a long while. God is so wonderful. I praise God for sending a man like him to meet the spiritual needs we have in the 20th century setting, and I pray he will contunue to send great men of God like Wigglesworth. I can't even begin to tell you how much his ministery has touched me. "Ever Increasing Faith" is a book that every person, young or old, must read. It reveals to us our place in Christ and confronts every reader with a dare ---- a dare to believe.
