God and His Word Are One

JUNE June 1 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.—ISAIAH 55:11 God and His Word Are One I’ve never figured out how people think they’re going to get God to do something for them apart from the Bible. You see, you can’t separate God from His Word. The Bible is the Word of God. You can’t separate someone from his or her word. In other words, a person is known by his or her word. God is known by His Word. He is everything the Word says He is, and He will do everything His Word says He will do. If you want to find out who God is, go to the Word and find out. Sometimes people say, “Well, I don’t know whether God will do that or not. I hope He will.” If you want to find out what God will do, go to the Word. I remember a man years ago who was in the healing ministry. He was saved, filled with the Holy Ghost, and was getting good results in his min

Have Faith in God

May 31 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.—MARK 11:23 Have Faith in God Several years ago, I was hemorrhaging from my body. I had serious pain symptoms. It was almost intolerable. The devil was giving me mental visions of cancer. I didn’t have any kind of inspiration, and all the feelings I had were negative. Now I learned the multiplication table many years ago. It still works. Three time three is still nine. I don’t ever stop to think, Will that work? Do you suppose three times three is still nine? Do you suppose the multiplication table will work today? I can’t get it to work for me. I see it working for others, but it won’t work for me. No, if multiplication doesn’t work for you, it’s because you don’t know the principle well enough. I said to myself as I was ly

The Faith Principle

May 30 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH TEXT: Mark 11:23 For verily I [Jesus] say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Message: Once I invited a pastor to go with me to a preaching engagement in California. This pastor was fifty-six years old. At the age of thirty-nine, he discovered that he had diabetes. So for seventeen years, he had given himself a shot of insulin every day. This pastor was a good man and had a wonderful church. But somehow, he had failed to grasp healing. Now I didn’t talk to him personally. I think that sometimes people are sitting around waiting for God to initiate something. And sometimes God does initiate something on His own. But people don’t have to just sit around and wait on Him. I wanted to teach this pastor about the author

A GRADUAL HEALING

May 29 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: A GRADUAL HEALING TEXT: Mark 16:17 - 18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.—MARK 16:17–18 MESSAGE: Several years ago, I received a letter from a woman who had attended one of my meetings in Houston, Texas. She wrote, “I was healed of lung cancer at your meeting. Now I’m not saying that I was healed instantly; I wasn’t. But the manifestation began the moment you laid hands on me. I am a thirty-two-year- old mother of two young daughters, and my condition was very serious. In fact, the doctors expected me to live only a few weeks. I had multiple malignant tumors in my lungs.” She continued, “Now I was skeptical of your tactics. Each night you laid hands on me [evidently, she got in the healing line every night],

SHOULD YOU TAKE YOUR MEDICINE?

May 28 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: SHOULD YOU TAKE YOUR MEDICINE? TEXT: Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is MESSAGE: People are always asking me if they should take their medicine or not. I tell them to wait until the Lord tells them to stop taking it. Don’t stop taking your medicine because I told you to do it. I’m not going to tell you what to do. I’m not opposed to doctors. Thank God for medical science. They’re against the same things I’m against; they’re fighting sickness and disease too. Nowadays, it’s exciting that more and more doctors also believe in prayer and divine healing. When people’s faith is strong enough and they come to the knowledge of the truth, they may not need medical help. I was healed of two serious organic heart troubles, a body that was almost totally paralyzed, and an incurable blood disease. I never ran and played like other little children. I became bedfast at the age of fifteen. The doctor

JESUS IS IN THE DELIVERING BUSINESS

May 27 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: JESUS IS IN THE DELIVERING BUSINESS. TEXT: Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me [Jesus], because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. MESSAGE: I received a letter from a gentleman who had attended a meeting I held in Phoenix, Arizona, many years ago. This gentleman mentioned that he had been an officer in the United States Army. At the time of the meeting in Phoenix, he was retired and had just gotten out of the veterans’ hospital for the third time. He had been in the hospital trying to be cured of alcoholism. But he came out drinking. He had also admitted himself into three different private hospitals trying to be cured of alcoholism. He finally got down on his knees and began to pray. He said, “Lord, I knew You when I was young. Take me back. I’m a waywar

YOU RECEIVE"ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH"

May 26 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: YOU RECEIVE "ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH" TEXT: Mathew 9:29 Then touched he [Jesus] their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH be it unto you. Message: You Receive ‘According to Your Faith’ At a meeting in California, a seventy-two-year-old woman who wore a hearing aid approached me. She couldn’t hear without her hearing aid. In fact, she said, “I can’t even get half the message with my hearing aid on and sitting right under the speaker. I need to hear the Word.” I laid hands on her ears. Instantly, she could hear a watch tick out of either ear! That was quite obvious. She was there two more weeks in every service. She didn’t need her hearing aid. She was talking to everyone in normal tones.Now she had fallen and broken her hip some time before, so she used a walking stick to walk. As she walked away, I said, “Wait a minute!” She turned and looked. I said, “Don’t you want something else?” She said, “No, I got what I came after.” I s

I'M NOT MOVED BY WHAT I SEE!

May 25  HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC:I'M NOT MOVED BY WHAT I SEE! TEXT: Romans 4:17 As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. MESSAGE: According to this verse of Scripture, faith calleth those things that be not as though they were. Isn’t it wonderful to believe God? I feel so sorry for those who walk by sight. I choose to walk by faith. Now walking by faith means that you’ll have to stand your ground sometimes. Don’t be moved by what you see or feel. Rather, be moved only by what you believe. The Bible never told you that you could have what you see. The Bible never told you that you could have what you feel. The Bible told you that you could have what you believe. Matthew 9:29 says, “. . . According to your faith be it unto you.” The Bible doesn’t say, “Go thy way and as thou hast felt, so be it done unto you.” No! The Bible doesn

Don't Base Your Faith on What You Can See

May 24 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: Don't Base Your Faith on What You Can See Text: 2Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Message: I remember an Assembly of God woman down in east Texas who had double pneumonia. This was back in the late 1930s before miracle drugs. She just grew steadily worse. Of course, in those days, we didn’t have the hospitals we have today. Doctors made house calls at that time. Well, the doctor came and did what he could do. The doctor told the husband that unless there was a change, she would not live past midnight that night. The husband, who wasn’t saved, decided to call the church and ask if some Christians could go over to the house. The pastor and several members went to the house. They anointed the woman with oil, laid hands on her, and prayed. Now she had been almost unconscious, but s

HEALING Must Be Received toBe Enjoyed

May 23 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: Healing Must Be Received to Be Enjoyed TEXT: Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Healing Must Be Received to Be Enjoyed My wife and I laid hands on Ruth. I could feel the life of God pouring out of me. My wife sensed it too. We could both sense that life pouring out of us into her. I said, “Ruth, there’s your healing. There’s your healing.” You see, I could administer the healing power to her, but I couldn’t accept it for her. Spiritual things are just as real as material things are. Many people think that if you have something, you can just give it to another person. But, no, the other person must accept it. If he doesn’t, then he won’t have it. The same thing is true in the Spirit. And you can know when people take hold and when they don’t take hold. My wife said, “There it is, Ruth.” Ruth said, “All right, I accept it. I receive it.” Insta

Action Must Spring From Faith in Your Heart

May 22 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: Action Must Spring From Faith in Your Heart TEXT: Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Message: My wife spoke to my niece, Ruth, and said, “Ruth, you know you’re not our child. You don’t belong to us. We can’t make decisions for you. Also, you’re eighteen years old. You’re an adult now. You can make your own decisions. Don’t say, ‘I want to trust God’ just because Uncle Ken teaches divine healing. Don’t say that because you think that’s what we want you to do. What do you want to do from your heart?” You have to get action from people’s hearts, not their heads. And it may take time to do this. People can mentally go along with you and say things, but their heart not be in it. And it won’t work.So my wife asked Ruth, “What do you want to do?” Ruth insisted that she wanted to trust God. Then I said, “All right, let’s get busy and get your healing or else go to the hospital.”

We Each Have Free Choice

May 21 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: We Each Have Free Choice TEXT: Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day  against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life. . . .—DEUTERONOMY 30:19 MESSAGE: In September 1950, there was a meeting in Rockwall, Texas. On a Thursday night, my wife and I went, but my children and my niece Ruth, who was living with us at the time, went to their local church. When the service was over, we stayed and prayed at the altar. I heard an automobile outside. It was in the street in front of the tent. I heard all four wheels spinning to a stop. I looked up and saw a young person, a friend of my niece’s, coming into the tent. He ran up to where I was kneeling at the altar and said, “Ruth had an attack of appendicitis. She fell off the pew at church. They prayed for her and then they took her home. Some of the Christians at the house prayed for her again. But she’s getting worse instead

ANY BELIEVER CAN LAY HANDS ON THE SICK

May 20 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC:ANY BELIEVER CAN LAY HANDS ON THE SICK TEXT: Hebrews 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands . . .  MESSAGE: While the husband was lying on the ground, the wife said, “Lord, Mark 16:18 says that believers shall lay hands on the sick. I don’t know what has happened to him, but in the Name of Jesus, I lay hands on him and expect him to be healed right now.” She hadn’t gotten those words out of her mouth when he suddenly revived. He said, “What happened?” She said, “I don’t know. The lawnmower was running in one spot and you were lying in the front yard.” “Well,” he said, “I felt myself getting sick and I just passed out. Right now, though, I feel so good. I’ve never felt better in my life.” And he went on and mowed the yard. The husband said to me, “You know, Brother Hagin, I feel so good. I believe I could just go to work without going home and sleeping tonight. I’m so refreshed and full of life.” Confession: I lay hands o

Who is Qualified to Lay Hands on The Sick?

May 19 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: WHO IS QUALIFIED TO LAY HANDS ON THE SICK? TEXT: Mark 16:18 . . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.—MARK 16:18 Who Is Qualified to Lay Hands on the Sick? We’ve looked at this scripture before in explaining that not all healings are instantaneous. Now let’s look at the previous verse, Mark 16:17. “And these signs shall follow THEM THAT BELIEVE. . . .” These signs, such as laying hands on the sick, shall follow believers. Who shall lay hands on the sick? Believers shall lay hands on the sick. You see, laying on of hands is more than a sign. It is also a New Testament doctrine. It’s one of the fundamental principles of the doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 6:1 and 2 says, “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of thedoctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands. . . .” T

The Power of Agreement

May 18 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: The Power of Agreement TEXT: Deuteronomy 32:30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? Message: After a meeting one time, a woman came up to me and said, “Brother Hagin, I have an incurable condition in my body. It isn’t fatal; that is, it wouldn’t kill me. But it might shorten my life five or ten years. And with the right medication, I can control it. But it is incurable. “I’ve been believing God, trying to appropriate healing. But when you told the story about that little girl who stood in the healing line for agreement, it triggered something inside me. I thought, I’m going down there for him to agree with me that I’m healed.” So I prayed, agreeing with her that she was healed. Some time later, this woman wrote a letter to me and said, “From the moment you agreed with me in the prayer line until now, I haven’t had another symptom. In fact, I’ve

STAY IN FAITH

May 17 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: STAY IN FAITH TEXT: Romans 11:20 . . . because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith . .  MESSAGE: While I was holding a meeting in Pasadena, Texas, a woman called from Canton, Texas, and said, “Brother Hagin, would it be all right for me to bring my little daughter down there for prayer? She has epilepsy. Now by faith, my prayer group has claimed her healing, but the manifestation hasn’t come yet; she still has the seizures. We don’t want to get into unbelief. Would it be all right for us to bring her down there for you to lay hands on her?” I said, “Yes, but only under certain circumstances. I’ll not be able to counsel with you while you’re here. I just don’t have time. When you come into the prayer line, say to the Lord, ‘Now Lord, we’re not coming down here to receive healing like the rest of the people, because by faith, we already believe that we have received healing. We’re coming down here to agree that she i

PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR HEALING

May 16 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR HEALING TEXT: Acts 16:25 - 26 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. MESSAGE: While lying there in the grass trying to get enough strength to whisper a prayer, this preacher started thinking about all the people who said they were going to pray for him. He figured that if they all prayed only five minutes a day, there’s no telling how many hundreds of hours had gone up in prayer. He thought, If all that praying can’t get the job done, there is no use in me praying. I’m not going to pray at all. I’m going to lie here on my back and just praise God for my healing. He could have prayed and died; he would have been praying in unbelief. Prayer had already been made. He needed to “change gears” now. S

JESUS ALREADY OBTAINED OUR HEALING!

May 14 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: JESUS ALREADY OBTAINED OUR HEALING! TEXT: Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. MESSAGE: Jesus Already Obtained Our Healing! While I was lying in bed at that pastor’s home, the devil said, “Remember the doctors told you that nothing could help you. They said your symptoms would come back and you would die. This is one time you’re not going to get your healing.” I just covered my head and started saying, “Ha, ha, ha, ha.” I said that over and over again. I must have laughed that way ten minutes. Then the devil said to me, “What are you laughing about?” I said, “Mr. Devil, I’m laughing at you, because you said that I’m not going to get my healing.” I laughed another ten minutes. And all the time, I was experiencing serious, alarming symptoms in my body. The devil asked me again, “What are you laughing about?” I

ACT ON WHAT THE WORD SAYS

May 13 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: ACT ON WHAT THE WORD SAYS TEXT: James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. MESSAGE: There are a number of different methods whereby healing can be obtained through the Word of God. One way is to simply know what the Word of God says for yourself and then act on it. You don’t have to pray. You don’t have to get anyone else to pray. Simply act on what the Word says: “. . . by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24). In February 1955, I held a meeting for a pastor. I stayed in the parsonage with him and his wife. One night, I was awakened at 1:30 with alarming symptoms in my body. The devil said to me, “Now this is one time you’re not going to be healed.” You know, the devil will try every way in the world that he can to talk you out of healing. He’ll try every way he can to rob you of any of the blessings of God. Do you know what I did when the devil said that to me? I pulled the covers over

REFUSE TO BE DENIED

May 12 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: REFUSE TO BE DENIED TEXT: Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? MESSAGE: When I was sixteen years old and on the bed of sickness, I said to the Lord, “Lord, if Your Word is so, I’m coming off this bed. If I don’t come off this bed, it will be because You lied. And if the Bible is no good, I might as well throw it in the trash can and burn it up.” You need to settle on the integrity of the Word and then go after it “tooth and toenail.” Do not be deterred. Don’t let anything stop you. If the Bible said it, then believe it. That settles it. After that pastor and I had counted that same offering three times, he said, “Let’s count it again. We’ve missed it somewhere.” About that time, I remembered that I had an envelope in my pocket. A woman had given me the envelope at my book table. She had purch

IT IT'S SO, I AM GOING TO HAVE IT

May 11 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: IF IT'S SO, I AM GOING TO HAVE IT TEXT: Jeremiah 1:12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast  well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.—JEREMIAH 1:12 MESSAGE: I said to the pastor of that church, “I can’t go home. My wife and I agreed that there would be a certain amount, and it’s $23.12 short.” He said, “Well, bless God, if you agreed on it, it’s here. We’ve made a mistake. Let’s count it again.” So he counted his half again and I counted the other half. We came up with the same figure. I said, “No, I can’t accept that. My wife and I agreed. There has to be that much money.” You see, if we’d be persistent with the Bible like we are with other things, we’d get results. We counted those two piles of money four times! And we still came up with the same figure. We were $23.12 short. I said, “My wife and I agree it’s got to be here. That, or I’ve got to go back to every church where I’ve preached and tell them that Matthew 18:19 i

AGREE AND DON'T BACK DOWN

May 10 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: AGREE AND DON'T BACK DOWN TEXT: Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? MESSAGE: In 1949 I was holding a meeting in Plainview, Texas, at the First Assembly of God Church. Christmas was coming up, and I needed some extra money for Christmas presents. I wrote to my wife, “At three o’clock on Sunday afternoon, you open your Bible there in Garland, Texas, to Matthew 18:19, and I’ll open my Bible here in Plainview. We’ll agree that the offering will be a particular amount on Sunday night.” You see, you can be in agreement in spirit and not be with the other person physically. I preached on the last Sunday night before Christmas. And in all the hustle and bustle of special Christmas programs, the ushers forgot to count the offering. The pastor found the offering plates and brought them back to the parsonage. He dumped all the money out on the dining room table and said, “Let’s count it.” He counted half and I counted the other

GOD KEEPS HIS WORD

May 9 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: GOD KEEPS HIS WORD TEXT: Matthew 18:19 - 20 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. MESSAGE: The negative side of Matthew 18:19 and 20 is that if you don’t agree, it won’t be done. Isn’t that simple? You see, we try to make the truth of God so complicated, but He has made it so simple. Time and time again, as I have acted on these verses of Scripture—as I have agreed with someone in prayer—such marvelous things have happened. And it will work for you too! God said that He watches over His Word to make it goodJeremiah 1:12 says, “. . . for I will hasten my word to perform it.” The margin says, “I watch over my Word to perform it.” If we would look for as many reasons for God to keep His Word and for it to work as we do for it not t

The Importance of Agreement

May 8 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: The Importance of Agreement Text: Matthew 18:19 - 20 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree onearth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Message: Jesus said that wherever two or three people are gathered together in His Name, He is there in the midst of them. What is Jesus doing there in the midst of them? He’s there to make good on what they ask and agree upon, because He said in John 14:14, “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” Many times, though, people lack agreement. For example, if something you’re agreeing on concerns another person, that other person will have to agree with you too. It won’t work in disagreement. Get him or her to agree with you. Notice that Matthew 18:19 says that it shall be done—not that it might be done or that there is a possibil

Ask in Jesus Name!

May 6 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: Ask in Jesus Name! Text: John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Message: As a believer, you have the right to ask God the Father for healing or any other blessing. And if you ask in the Name of Jesus, you have the absolute guarantee that God the Father will hear and answer your petition. Many people add to the Scriptures or take away from them, because they have been religiously brainwashed instaead of New Testament taught. Even in Charismatic circles, former religious teaching can hinder people. People have a tendency to revert to what they were taught early in life. One time I awoke in the middle of the night and found myself praying about something. It was something I had been praying about for two or three weeks. I said to myself, What’s wrong with you? You know that kind of praying won’t work. You see, I had unconsciously reverted to a kind of praying I’d been taught years before. I said, “That kind of praying w

"THROUGH FAITH IN HIS NAME"

May 5 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: "THROUGH FAITH IN HIS NAME" TEXT: Acts 3:16 And his [Jesus’] name, through faith in his name, hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. MESSAGE: Smith Wigglesworth learned of a man in Wales known as Lazarus. He had worked by day in the tin mines and preached at night until he wore himself out physically. He contracted TB, and became bedfast for seven years. Once as Wigglesworth was in Wales preaching, the Lord said to him, “I want you to go raise up Lazarus.” Wigglesworth found other believers and went to Lazarus’ house. They surrounded his bed and repeated the Name of Jesus until the power of God fell. Wigglesworth then said to the man, “There’s your healing.” Lazarus began to speak faintly, so Wigglesworth drew closer to hear his words. The man said, “I’ve been bitter.” You see, he once had believed in divine healing. Someone

A DOUBLE- MINDED MAN

May 3 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONAL TOPIC: A DOUBLE MINDED MAN TEXT: James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. MESSAGE: As soon as the pastor began praying, I heard the following in my spirit: “Now they’ve taken her out of My hands and she’ll die. Within three days, she’ll be dead.” I knew it was the voice of the Lord speaking to me. On the third day, the woman died, just as the Lord said. You see, we had placed her in God’s hands and then we took her out of God’s hands. What should we have done? Instead of praying for her complete healing again, we should have stood in agreement and said, “We are going to stand up and agree that she is well. We are going to thank God for it.” That way, we would have stayed in faith. Many times, a whole church places a person in God’s hands and then turns right around and takes him out of God’s hands. God wants to heal the person, but He can’t. Why? God operates on certain laws and principles. Confession: I cooperate with God and stay in fait

DON'T WAIVER IN YOUR BELIEVING

May 3 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: DON'T WAIVER IN YOUR BELIEVING TEXT: James 1:7 For let not that man [the man who wavers] think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. MESSAGE: The next night, the same thing happened again. This particular woman stood up before the offering was taken and said, “Pastor, I feel that we should continue to pray for Sister ______. The doctor thought that she would die last night. You know, I live next door to her, and I was there at eight o’clock this morning when the doctor checked on her. He said, ‘She’s past the crisis. She has come out of it. Get her out of bed and let her sit in a chair two or three times a day. She’s going to make it.’” Because of our praying, God touched this woman who was given up to die. Now notice what the woman in the congregation said. She continued, “But she’s still terribly weak. [Naturally, she would be. She’s been bedfast and has just come through a crisis.] We know God touched her, all right. Let’s pra

DON'T UNDO WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY DONE

May 2 HEALTH FOOD DEVOTIONS BY K HAGIN TOPIC: DON'T UNDO WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY DONE. TEXT: JAMES 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. MESSAGE: Think about a carpenter. If he put the foundation for a house down one week and the next week took the foundation out, the house would never be completed. Christians are doing the same thing in their praying. They’re undoing what they’ve already prayed, and they’re wondering why their prayers aren’t availing much. Let me give you part one of a real-life illustration. I was invited to preach at a church in east Texas. Before I got up to speak, the pastor said, “We’re going to receive an offering tonight for Brother Hagin.” At that moment, a woman in the congregation stood up and said, “Pastor, before you pray over the offering, I feel like we should pray for Sister ______. She lives next door to me. The doctor came to visit her and said that she would no
