SMITH WIGGLESWORTH: Pauls Thorn in the Flesh Was Not Sickness I visited a woman who had been suffering for many years. She was all twisted up with rheumatism and had been two years in this condition in bed. I said to her, why are you laying here in this condition as a believer? She said, Ive come to the conclusion that I have a thorn in the flesh. I said, To what wonderful degree of righteousness or revelation have you attained that you have to have a thorn in the flesh? Have you had such an abundance of divine revelations that there is danger of your being exalted above measure ? She said, I believe it is the Lord who is causing me to suffer. I said, You believe it is the Lords will for you to suffer, and yet you are trying to get out God’s will as quickly as you can. Look there are doctors bottles all over the place. It is time to get off your high and holy place and confess that you are a sinner. If youll get rid of your self-righteousness, God will do something for you. Drop the idea that you are so holy that God has got to afflict you. Sin is the cause of your sickness and not righteousness. Disease is not caused by righteousness, but by sin. There is healing through the blood of Christ and deliverance for every captive. God never intended His children to live in misery because of some affliction that comes directly from the devil. A perfect atonement was made at Calvary. I believe that Jesus bore my sins, and I am free from them all. I am justified from all things if I dare believe. He Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses; and if I dare believe, I can be healed.
