Wigglesworth in "ONLY BELIEVE"
A woman came to me one day and said, "My husband is such a trial to me. The first salary he gets, he spends on drink. Then he cannot do his work & comes home. I love him very much. What can be done?" I said, "If I were you, I would take a handkerchief and would place it under his head when he goes to sleep at night, saying nothing to him but having a living faith." We anointed a handkerchief in the name of Jesus, and she put it under His head. Oh, beloved, there is a way to reach these wayward ones.
The next morning, on his way to work, he ordered a glass of beer. He lifted it up to his lips, but he thought there was something wrong with it, and he put it down and left. He went to another saloon, and another, and another, and did the same thing. He came home sober. His wife was gladly surprised, and he told her the story of how he had been affected. That was the turning point in his life; it meant not only giving up drink, but it meant his salvation.
God wants to change our faith today. He wants us to see that it is not obtained by struggling and working and longing. "The Father Himself loves you." (John 16:27). "He Himself took our infirmities and bore out sicknesses." (Matt 8:17). "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28)
Don't think there is magic power in the handkerchief, or you will miss the power. It is the LIVING FAITH within the man who lays the handkerchief on his body, and the power of God through that faith. Praise God, we may lay hold of this living faith today. The blood has never lost it's power.
As we get in touch with Jesus, wonderful things will take place.
