Why Using the Name of Jesus Like a Formula Fails | Smith Wigglesworth

Why Using the Name of Jesus Like a Formula Fails | Smith Wigglesworth Why does invoking the name of Jesus sometimes become an empty religious formula? This Smith Wigglesworth teaching explores the relationship between surrender and spiritual authority through Acts 19, James 4:7, and the centurion’s understanding of authority in Matthew 8. Learn why Christ’s victory—not shouting, repetition, or human force—is the believer’s true foundation; why not every hardship should be labeled demonic; and how five daily acts of spiritual resistance begin with repentance, truth, forgiveness, obedience, and prayer. The message closes with a practical call to place one unsurrendered area beneath Christ’s government and examine authority by its fruit: humility, peace, holiness, and love.
