"Great faith is the product of great fights. Great testimonies are the outcome of great tests. Great triumphs can only come out of great trials. Every stumbling block must become a stepping stone, and every opposition must become an opportunity.
"It does not matter where you are if God is with you. He who is for you is a million times more than all that can be against you. Oh, if we could, by the grace of God, see that the beatitudes of God’s divine power come to us with such divine sweetness, whispering to us, 'Be still, my child. All is well. Only be still and see the salvation of the Lord.'
"Oh, what would happen if we learned the secret to ask only once and believe? What an advantage it would be if we could just come to a place where we know that everything is within reach of us. God wants us to see that every obstacle can be moved away.
"God brings us into a place where the difficulties are, where the pressure is, where the hard corner is, where everything is so difficult that you know there are no possibilities on the human side–God must do it. All of these places are of God’s ordering. God allows trials, difficulties, temptations, and perplexities to come right along our path, but there is not a temptation or trial that can come to man for which God does not have a way out. You do not have the way out, but it is God who can bring you through."
– The words of Smith Wigglesworth, from The Wigglesworth Standard, by Peter J. Madden, Whitaker House, 1993.
