The Episcopal priest smiled and said kindly, "Well, fine, Brother. If you're satisfied with your
Christian walk, then I'm satisfied. But may I ask you a question?"
The denominational minister said yes and the priest said, "On the inside of you, do you have
all of God you could ever want to have? Do you have all you need? Are you hungry for any
more of God?"
The minister said, "Well, yes, I'm hungry for more of God."
The Episcopal priest said, "If you will just kneel down right here, I will lay my hand on you and
pray that God will satisfy your hunger."
The denominational minister knelt down and the priest laid his hand on him and said, "God,
satisfy his hunger." And the minister immediately began speaking in tongues! Hallelujah! There
is more of God to receive through the baptism of the Holy Spirit!
Wigglesworth's Testimony Of Being Filled With the Holy Spirit
Over the years I've read in various accounts of Smith Wigglesworth's baptism in the Holy
Spirit. Before Wigglesworth was baptized in the Holy Ghost, he wanted to argue with anyone
who said he needed to receive more of the Holy Ghost. He told them, "I've got the Holy Ghost;
it's these tongues I want."
People would tell him, "No, you need the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and then you'll speak in
tongues." But Wigglesworth didn't want to accept the possibility that there was more of the
Holy Spirit to receive than he already had by being born again.
However, Wigglesworth was determined to "receive those tongues." He was at the end of
some meetings and preparing to get on the train to go back to his home. He decided to visit a
Spirit-filled Episcopal priest's home before he left.
The priest was out making a pastoral call when Wigglesworth got there. But the priest's wife
told Wigglesworth, "Come on in and I'll pray for you."
Wigglesworth said, "I want you to pray that I will receive those tongues."
The priest's wife said, "You don't want tongues; you want the Holy Ghost! You receive this
experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and the tongues will be a part of that experience.
But don't seek tongues. Seek the Holy Ghost. Seek Jesus who is the Baptizer in the Holy
Ghost."
"But I already have the Holy Ghost!" Wigglesworth argued. "I know what I want!"
"Be quiet, shut your eyes, and I'll pray for you!" the priest's wife said. So she laid her hands on
Wigg glesworth's head as he knelt there and she prayed, "Oh Lord, help this poor fellow.
Forgive him and baptize him in the Holy Ghost."
