HIS SECRET OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH

by Stanley Frodsham

Foreword

Note: Frodsham could only guess about Smith's personal reality

1. Timing: The boo was !irst printed in 1"#$. Smith %igglesworth himsel! died in 1"#6 at the ripe old age o!$7& a !lame o! od to the (ery end. Smith could not re(iew the manuscript.

). There has been enough time !or the *reat +waening, to be a memory rather than a present e-perience&while the spiritual strengths and weanesses o! the new entecostal in!illing were poorly understood.

/. Frodsham was de(out a entecostal man appointed by Smith's daughter to write !rom accounts recorded byothers. 0e did not enoy 0is rest& and so could not understand Smith.

HIS SECRET OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTHM+N2 %344 as& *0ad Smith %igglesworth any spiritual secret5 %herein didhis great strength lie5, The twomain !actors in his spiritual li!e were these: his reliance upon the Spirit o! odand his con!idence in the %ordo! od. These were the !oundations o! his holy audacity and his constant boldness o! action.

0e was preeminently a man o! the %ord ust as he was preeminently a man o! the Spirit. 0e declared& *4ibrariesmae swelled heads& but the %ord o! od maes enlarged hearts. %e are to ha(e enlarged hearts& hearts !illedwith the !ragrance o! the lo(e o! od that will show !orth the li!e and power o! the 4ord.,

0e said& *Faith cometh by hearing& and hearing by the %ord o! odnot by reading commentaries. Faith is theprinciple o! the %ord o! od. The 0oly Spirit& who inspired the %ord& is called the Spirit o! truth and as we

recei(e with meeness the engra!ted %ord& !aith springs up in our hearts !aith in the sacri!ice o! 8al(ary !aithin the shed blood o! 9esus !aith in the !act that 0e too our weanesses upon 0imsel!& that 0e has borne oursicnesses and carried our pains& and that 0e is our li!e today. The %ord o! od is li(ing and power!ul& and inits treasure you will !ind eternal li!e. 3! you will dare to trust this wonder!ul 4ord o! li!e& you will !ind in 0ime(erything you need.,

0e !reuently said& *3 ha(e ne(er read any boo but the ;ible., + critic who heard him say this& wrote saying*0ow is it that this man who says he has read no boo but the ;ible has been guilty o! writing a boo5 For wesee his boo&Ever Increasing Faith ad(ertised in the columns o! The Pentecostal Evangel. %e wrote bac tothat good man and said& *Smith %igglesworth was not guilty o! writing that boo. 3t came into e-istence in thisway: 0e came to Spring!ield& Missouri& in 1")/& in the early days o! 8entral ;ible 3nstitute.

taled to the students and each night he spoe to a large crowd at the 8on(ention 0all. %e too down thesemessages !or The Pentecostal Evangel and a!ter they had appeared in that paper we ased the printers to holdthe type. %hen su!!icient messages were ready& we put them into a boo. Smith %igglesworth did not e(en readthe copy., %e are conscious that there are crudities in the boo but ne(ertheless od owned it and has made it ablessing to the sal(ation and healing o! a great many the world o(er.

The prophet pen thy mouth& and eat that 3 gi(e thee., 0e tells us& *%hen 3 looed& behold& an hand was sent unto me& andlo& a roll o! a boo was therein., The 4ord commanded& *Son o! man& eat that thou !indest eat this roll& and gospea., +nd the prophet said& *So 3 opened my month& and 0e caused me to eat that roll., +gain the 4ord said&*Son o! man& cause thy belly to eat& and !ill thy bowels with this roll that 3 gi(e thee.,

>ur reatheart was continually eating the *roll, and it was made ali(e in his inner being so he would go andspea with authority and !aith to those to whom od sent him. 0is son?in?law& 9ames Salter& who was (ery o!tentra(eling with him& says: *0e was essentially a man o! the ;ible& and he ne(er considered himsel! !ully dressedwithout a copy o! the %ord o! od in his pocet. 0e not only carried it& but he used it continually. %hile othersmight read no(els or newspapers in railway cars& he read his ;ible. >n board (arious ships as he tra(eled& at theseaside where occasionally he went !or rela-ation& or sitting in his !a(orite place in the par near his home& his

New Testament was constantly in his hand. 0e ne(er le!t a !riend@s table without reading Aa bit !rom the ;oo&@and usually his comments on it were choicer than any course in the meal.,

0is constant ad(ice to young people was& AFill your head and your heart with the Scriptures. Memori=e passages!rom the %ord& with the name o! the boo& the chapter& and the (erse& so that you can uote the scripturecorrectly in addresses or in open?air meetings. +s you do this& you are sowing in your heart seeds which theSpirit o! od can germinate. 0e can bring to your remembrance !rom time to time that which you ha(e oncememori=ed. 2ou must be sosoaked with the %ord o! od& you must be sofilled with it& that you yoursel! are ali(ing epistle& nown and read o! all men. ;elie(ers are strong only as the %ord o! od abides in them. The%ord o! od is spirit and li!e to those who recei(e in simple !aith& and it is a (i(i!ier o! all who own its sway.Bnow your ;oo& li(e it& belie(e it& and obey it. 0ide od@s %ord in your heart. 3t will sa(e your soul& uicen

your body& and illumine your mind. The %ord o! od is !ull and !inal& in!allible& reliable& and up?to date& andour attitude towards it must be one o! unuestioned obedience. 3! a thing is in the ;ible it is so it is not e(en tobe prayed about it is to be recei(ed and acted upon. 3nacti(ity o! !aith is a robber which steals blessing. 3ncreasecomes by action& by using what we ha(e and what we now. 2our li!e must be one o! going !rom !aith to !aith.,

0e constantly taught that the %ord o! od must be 3mplicitly obeyed. 0e repeatedly uoted the scripture& *Toobey is better than sacri!ice., >bedience& to him& was a normal !ruit o! true !aith. *;ecause you dare to belie(e&you act in obedience.,

3n addition to taing time each day to read the %ord o! od& our reatheart learned the secret o! o!ten turningaside !rom the multitude and getting alone with od !or a spiritual renewing. 0e became acuainted with a (ery

godly minister who was one time (isiting ur reatheart caught the (ision o! this godly minister& and with the %ord o! od in his hand he could be*otherwise engaged&, completely shut in with od alone& in any crowd or company. 0is secret may ha(e been a

>ne day he was tra(eling in a railroad car when a mother and her daughter were both stricen ill. 0e told themthat he had in his bag a remedy !or e(ery trouble and that it ne(er !ailed in the worst cases in !act& it had ne(erbeen nown to !ail where the conditions were met. 0e taled so much about what he had in his bag that theypleaded !or a dose o! this wonder!ul uni(ersal remedy. 0e opened his bag& too out his ;ible and read thescripture& *3 am the 4ord that healeth thee., +nd he prayed that they might ha(e !aith in this wonder!ul 0ealer3n a short while both declared that they were healed.

>ne time in the city o! 8ardi!! in South %ales he prayed !or a woman who was instantly healed. She came to thene-t meeting and testi!ied with great oy to what the 4ord had done !or her. She said that she wanted to spreadthe truth that had been so bene!icial to her& and ased our reatheart !or some tracts. 0e answered& *The besttracts 3 now o! on healing are Matthew& Mar& 4ue& and 9ohn. They are !ull o! incidents o! the power andworing o! 9esus 8hrist. 0e is the same yesterday& and today& and !ore(er. 2ou cannot ha(e anything better.,

>ne time he prayed !or a young man who was sic. +!ter he had prayed& the young man said: *;rother& 3 want apromise to stand on., %igglesworth put his ;ible on the ground and said to the young man& *Now stand onthat., 0e stood on it and was told& *Now you are standing on a great heap o! promises. ;elie(e e(ery one o!them.,

re(ious to the year 1"C7& the year he recei(ed the entecostal ;aptism& the 0oly Spirit !igured constantly in hise-perience and teaching& but !rom that time !orward a new epoch began in his li!e. 0e relied implicitly upon the0oly Spirit !or e(ery phase o! his ministry. 0e certainly sought to li(e in the Spirit and to be led by the Spirit.The gi!t o! tongues was a priceless treasure to him and many times e(ery day his heart went out in lo(e andadoration to od& not in the de!iled languages o! earth& but in the 0oly?Spirit?gi(en language o! lo(e that odhad graciously gi(en him. 0e !ound that this speaing in tongues was always a source o! spiritual edi!ication0e li(ed that (erse in 9ude )C& *;elo(ed& building up yoursel(es in your most holy !aith&!raying in the "oly#host and he also li(ed that (erse& *raying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit& and watchingthereunto with all perse(erance and supplication !or all saints.,

9ames Salter says o! his preaching: *0ow o!ten& metaphorically speaing& he built up the altar o! od and gotready to sacri!ice and then od sent the !ire and consumed the o!!ering& thus consummating his e!!orts.

0e certainly searched the Scriptures& and prayed day and night to show himsel! appro(ed unto od& a wormanthat needeth not to be ashamed& rightly di(iding the %ord o! truth. ;ut it was the breath o! od& the unction!rom hea(en& and the person and power o! the 0oly Spirit that made him what he was. 0e new it& and ealouslyguarded this deposit., %e ha(e heard him say& *3 am nothing apart !rom the 0oly Spirit&, and he certainly wasnot.

+nother secret o! his power was that he was constantly *mo(ed with compassion., 0e saw that the source o!8hrist@s mightiest miracles was 0is wonder!ul compassion. Tears would stream !rom his eyes as he beheld the

sin?scarred souls and the sicness?wreced bodies. 0e burned in his =eal to undo the wors o! the de(il& and waspositi(ely aggressi(e as he tried to emulate his Master in going about doing good& and healing all that wereoppressed o! the de(il.

>ne who new him intimately wrote o! him: *%hen the mail arri(ed at his home and the time !or the opening o!the letters came& we all had to stop whate(er we were doing and get under the burden. There was nothing rushedor slipshod about his methods o! dealing with these pathetic appeals !or he1p.

*>ne day the mail brought him uite a long letter !rom a lady who was su!!ering intensely !rom a seriousdisease. 0er letter was !ull o! uotations on the subect o! di(ine healing& and showed that she new all that sheneeded to now on that subect. 0e read the letter a time or two& and then he passed it on to me& saying& A%hatdo you thin o! that5@ 0e reread it& and then wrote on the bottom o! the letter: A;elie(e your own letter& apply itto your own body lie a handerchie!& and you will be healed.@ 0e sent it bac to her& and a short time later herecei(ed a letter !rom her saying that she was per!ectly whole.,

THE CHALLENGER

T0n the street he met an 3talian brother who had heard him preach in 8ali!ornia. This man too him towhere the entecostal saints worshiped in Dome& and there it was his oy to minister 8hrist.
