Smith Wigglesworth - Stirring Up the Gift

Excerpted reading from a sermon by Smith Wigglesworth (1859-1947) from the book: "Ever Increasing Faith"

Scriptures:
"But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:23-24

"For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline." 2 Timothy 1:6-7

"Then said I, 'Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts'." Isaiah 6:5

"Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged." Isaiah 6:6-7

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name."
John 1:12

"And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead."
Romans 1:4

"And Jesus said to him, 'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes.'"
Mark 9:23

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13

"But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said, "Look at us!""
Acts 3:4

"But Peter said, 'I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—walk!'"
Acts 3:6

How to Hear God's Voice - Tips

• To Hear God, you must first hear HIM through His word. Not only is this a breakthrough in prayer but the most important thing.... the path to an intimate relationship with Yeshua! You must begin to work your faith by believing what the word of God says.
You wouldn’t vote for someone not knowing their beliefs... you wouldn’t do something so important based on what a person looks like or how they dress... so too, it is important for you to Know who God is and what He’s about so that when He shows up, you’ll Know His character. You’ll Know the Shepherd’s voice! (Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.)

• You may come across teachings that seem right, but something ‘feel’s wrong’ about it. Ask God, to separate the wheat from the tares. Also pay attention to the fruit it’s bearing; ex: Does it incite ‘fear’? If it’s not applauded by the Holy Spirit within you, it’s not the same ‘Jesus’ you are seeking communion with (Leviticus 10:3). Remember the enemy comes in as ‘light’... he delivers a ‘half-truth’ here, one there.... pretty soon you’re falling into confusion.
The Shepherd’s voice... aligns with the Word, bears good fruit and He’s likely been telling you all along (if you ask Him a question, expect to receive the answer)... so the message would only confirm that.

• Examine your own thought life, realizing that thoughts come from yourself, the enemy or God. Hearing God takes self-discipline, because we must train ourselves in the word by what aligns with the character of God and take captive our sinful flesh and/or evil thoughts planted by the enemy. (2Corinthians 10:5-6 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”)
