I once read that Smith
Wigglesworth, when ministering in prayer lines would often ask people, "Do youbelieve that God has sent me here to heal you?" If they said yes, he would pray for them and they would get healed. What does it mean to be sent? It means, 'set apart by God or chosen by God.' One that has been sent out by God is someone that has been sent.

Jesus knew that he was sent by God.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God, for God giveth not the spirit by measure unto him (John3:34).
A Prophet speaks the words of God; he is God's instrument, his oracle.
