A number of people were raised from the dead under Wigglesworth's ministry. Well, why not? Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, and He said we'd do even greater things than He did!
The reason we're not seeing more of this mighty power of God operating today is because not enough power is being generated by prayer.
Kathryn Kuhlman was another great minister of God who walked in God's power. She could stand in front of an audience and simply say, "Holy Spirit, move!" and people would pop out of wheelchairs all over the place.
Mile-long lines used to form outside of Oral Roberts' tent. People would wait for hours for that man to pray for them. The power of God was so strong on him that when people got next to him, they'd begin to shake all over. Blind eyes would open, deaf ears would be unstopped, and the lame would jump up and walk. The altar calls were always full when Brother Roberts gave the call. Why?
These great men and women didn't play games with God's power. They didn't think, "Well, God's called me, so I'll just walk out there in faith and that power will come." No, that wasn't the key to their power. You can't walk out on the platform confessing power and expect it to show up.
Power comes as you spend time on your knees in the presence of the Source of all power.
Those great preachers yielded themselves totally to the Spirit of God. They weren't afraid when they started doing a few things in their prayer lives that were a bit different. They allowed the Holy Spirit to flow through them. Let the Holy Spirit enlarge your prayer language. You can pray in many different tongues.
There is a supernatural realm that the heart of God is longing for His people to reach. He's calling us to go on with Him; to travel to His place of power; and to explore His glory world. There is a deeper communion with God than most of us have known. But we won't get there unless we pray.
God is saying, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not" (Jeremiah 33:3).
