There was a young boy who was seriously ill. The family had sent for Smith Wigglesworth, 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.
A Prophet’s Faith in Action
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 had asked, and when they saw his faith, they were embarrassed and immediately set out the boy’s clothes. Smith asked them to put 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.
The Power of God Falls
“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.
Revival Breaks Out
Opening the door, the boy yelled, “Dad! God has healed me! I am healed!” 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.
“All things are possible to him who believes!”
