Smith Wigglesworth: “He exclaimed, ‘I see it! I see it!’ I asked, ‘What do you see?’ Shutting his eyes again, he said, ‘I see the greatest revival in the history of mankind coming to Planet Earth, maybe as never before. And, I see the dead raised. I see every form of disease healed. I see whole hospitals emptied with no one there. Even the doctors are running down the streets shouting.’

“He continued, ‘There will be untold numbers of uncountable multitudes that would be saved. No man will say, ‘so many, so many’, because nobody will be able to count those who come to Jesus. No disease will be able to stand before God’s people.

‘It will be a world-wide situation, not local, he said. A world-wide thrust of God’s power and God’s anointing upon mankind.”

Three Muslim radio stations asked us if we can come and preach on the radio.”
