Smith Wigglesworth was a British evangelist, preacher, and Pentecostal minister whose ministry became closely associated with faith, healing, revival, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Born in Yorkshire, England, in 1859, he worked as a plumber before becoming widely known for his forceful preaching and accounts of divine healing. His style was direct, practical, and intensely experiential, emphasizing absolute trust in God, obedience to Scripture, bold prayer, and the expectation that the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit remained active in the life of the church.Wigglesworth's sermons and writings, including Faith That Prevails, helped shape Pentecostal and charismatic spirituality for later generations. His message centered on living faith rather than religious formality: faith that acts, prays, receives, resists fear, and expects God to intervene. Though readers may approach some of his claims and methods from different theological perspectives, his influence on revival Christianity, divine healing movements, Pentecostal preaching, and devotional literature remains significant.
