Don’t Let Your Physical Senses Dictate

September 16

Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and

wonders, ye will not believe.—JOHN 4:48

What You Believe

That night I went to the service, and after I had preached,

people got in the prayer line to be healed and to be filled with

the Holy Ghost. I began to lay hands on them, and when I came

to this woman pastor, I was very conscious of her, because it

hadn’t been more than three hours or so since the associate

pastor and I had been talking about her case.

I spent a little extra time with her and put up my spiritual

antenna. I checked to see if the Lord would say anything to me.

I asked her what she came for, and she told me she came for

healing. Then she described some of the things that were wrong

with her. I laid hands on her and prayed. She said, “No, no, I

didn’t get it. I don’t have it.”

I said, “I’ll pray for you again.” So I laid hands on her and

prayed again.

She began to press around on her body and said, “No, it’s still

sore right there. I didn’t get it.”

I said, “I’ll pray for you again.” I thought three times ought to

be enough for anybody. I knew she wasn’t going to get anything,

but on the other hand, I didn’t want to slight her.

So I prayed for her the third time. By the time I said, “Amen,”

she was already feeling around on her body. Then she said, “It’s

still sore right here. No, I didn’t get it.” I passed her, and the

next person stepped up in place.

Confession:

Instead of listening to my body—the physical symptoms of my

body—I listen to my spirit man, my heart. I live and walk by faith, not by sight.
