Smith Wigglesworth was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, in 1859 into a very poor working-class family. But by the time of his death in 1948, the influence he had on many thousands of people worldwide was simply incredible. Smith Wigglesworth was a simple uneducated man who became a plumber by trade and believed in divine healing. He changed the lives of many sick and terminally ill people through his healing ministry in many different countries around the world. He is also credited to have raised people from the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit. He believed that if you have total trust in God, then all things are possible, including divine healing. During my time of research on this story, I came across so many incredible stories about this man and his healing ministry that if only half of them are true, he still was a truly exceptional man.
