Health Food – October 1 By Rhema Team, Oct 1, 2020 ‘No Trespassing!’ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  — LUKE 10:19 Satan and sickness and disease are not your masters. I found that out many years ago. In 1937, I read an excerpt in  Reader’s Digest  that got me thinking along this line. It stated that in front of one of the government office buildings in Washington, D.C., there was a little patch of grass about fourteen feet by twenty-eight feet. Instead of people walking on the sidewalk, they would cut right across that little patch of green grass. They had worn out that grass, so the caretaker put stakes and a string up. It wasn’t very high. And people just stepped over the string and kept walking on the grass. To fix this problem, the caretaker painted a crude sign and put it up right in the middle of the grass. The sign said, “Gentlemen  will  not a...

Health Food – September 29 By Rhema Team, Sep 29, 2020 What Is Confession? That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  — ROMANS 10:9 What is confession? First, it’s  affirming something that we believe . Second, it’s  testifying to something that we know . And third, it’s  witnessing for a truth that we’ve embraced . What are we to confess? Well, our confession should center around five things: (1) What God in Christ has wrought for us in His great plan of redemption; (2) what God through the Word and the Holy Spirit has wrought in us in the New Birth and the baptism in the Holy Ghost; (3) what we are to God the Father in Christ Jesus; (4) what Jesus is doing for us now at the right hand of the Father in His present-day ministry; and (5) what the Word of God will do through our lips. Now you cannot confess or witness about things you do not know about. It’s wh...

Health Food – September 28 By Rhema Team, Sep 28, 2020 The Importance Of Your Words Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  — PROVERBS 18:21 In 1951, I was holding a meeting in a town in Texas. We had day and night teaching services. Between the services, I would walk up and down the aisles of the church, praying and reading my Bible. One day, I was reading the Book of Mark as I was on my knees near the altar. I got tired, so I sat down on the floor and finished reading the Book of Mark. Now I wasn’t even thinking about Mark 11:23. I was thinking about the sixteenth chapter of Mark, where Jesus said, “Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.” Then I got tired of sitting, so I just lay down on my back. As I was lying there on my back with my hands under my head, staring at the ceiling, I came to the place my mind got quiet. Then I heard these words on the inside of me: “Did you notice in Mark 11:23 tha...

Health Food – September 27 By Rhema Team, Sep 27, 2020 The Power Of A Right Confession For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  — ROMANS 10:10 Notice this scripture says that we are not only to believe with our heart, but we are also to confess with our mouth. It says that confession brings about salvation. Actually, all that we receive from God is received that way—through faith. It’s always with the heart that we believe and with the mouth that we confess. With the heart we believe for healing, and with the mouth confession is made unto healing. Everything we receive from God comes this way. Now the same thought appears in another text that we’ve looked at:  “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 s...

Health Food – September 25 By Rhema Team, Sep 25, 2020 ‘He Will Live And Not Die’ I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.  — PSALM 118:17 Several years ago, a woman came to one of my crusades. When she saw what the Bible said about healing, she started shouting. I didn’t pray for her. She just jumped up and started shouting. I stepped back and let her holler and shout. I noticed that others seemed to be quite blessed by it. The pastor said to me, “Brother Hagin, that woman and her husband are some of the wealthiest people in this area. They’re worth billions! Now they’re not Pentecostal; they belong to the First Presbyterian Church.” After awhile, the woman ran down to the front, and we all praised God with her. When I dismissed the service, she came and thanked me. I said, “There’s no use in thanking me. Thank the Lord.” “Yes,” she said, “but you brought the truth to me. My son is in the UCLA Hospital. He’s only twenty-one years old. He’ll be twenty-two in a ...

       24 September 2020 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?                         John  21:20  I used to think that among Jesus' 12 disciples, John was the Lord's favorite disciple and the one who was the closest to Him because the Bible calls John "the disciple whom Jesus loved." I was under the impression that John had a special favor with Jesus, and always wondered what made him so special that he stood apart from the other disciples. Don't you want to be known as the disciple whom Jesus loves? I do! Then one day, when I was reading God's Word, the secret of John's favor dawned on me. The Lord opened my eyes and showed me that the phrase "the disciple whom Jesus loved" is actually found only in John's own book! Check it out for yourself. You will not find this phr...

Health Food – September 23 By Rhema Team, Sep 23, 2020 Attend To God’s Word My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  — PROVERBS 4:20 God tells us to attend to His Word. Let me give you an illustration. Let’s say I meet someone on the street who says, “Brother Hagin, I want to talk to you.” And I respond, “Well, I can’t talk right now. I’ve got some business to attend to.” What does that mean? It means I have to put that other business first. God said to listen to His sayings. Some people are listening to what others are saying instead of to what God is saying. Donald Gee, a pioneer of the Pentecostal movement, said that every man in his family died before the age of forty. Well, when he got up around that age, fear came on him. Some of the symptoms his relatives experienced started showing up. And the devil said, “The same thing is happening to you. You’re going to die. You’ll not live past forty. It’s incurable. The doctors can’t cure it.” As he was driving ...
