Faith Activates The Power

Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!

FAITH ACTIVATES THE POWER!

Let me give you an illustration along this line. In March 1971, I was preaching in Tyler, Texas, in the grand ballroom of the old Carlton Hotel. After ministering one night and sending folks to the prayer room to be saved, we invited the sick to come forward to be prayed for.

When I called for folks to get in the healing line, I noticed a lady sitting right in the front, in the first couple of rows. But this woman couldn’t get up. Her husband was trying without much success to help her get up.

Finally, one of the ushers helped, and the two men together got her to her feet. She had a cane in one hand, and with her husband holding her by one arm and the usher holding her by the other arm, she slowly made her way into the healing line.

The people were lined up straight across the room, and I went down the line, laying hands upon them. Well, when I laid hands on her, it was just like I had laid hands on a doorknob — there was no receptivity on her part whatsoever.

I went on down the line, laying hands on folks and praying. I didn’t have time to stop and preach her a sermon. I knew that in her case, it was a matter of her not having faith. You see, faith receives when you pray, you believe you receive! The Bible says that then — after you believe you receive — you shall have whatever it is you were desiring (Mark 11:24).

Believing is receiving. Receiving is believing. If there is no receiving, then there’s been no believing. If there’s no believing, then there is no receiving. It’s just that simple — so simple, we stumble over the simplicity of it.

I finished the healing line in that meeting in Tyler and went back to the platform to get my Bible, my notebook, and my watch. This crippled woman was still standing there with her husband by her side to hold her up. With great effort and with her husband’s help, she moved a little closer to me and said, “Brother Hagin, I want you to lay hands on me again.”

I remembered when I laid hands on her a few moments before, there was just no response. So I said, “Well, I’ve already laid hands on you,” and then I tried to encourage her to believe. You see, she had a part to play in receiving her healing.

Then she said to me, “This is the very first time I’ve ever been in one of these kinds of meetings. I’m Presbyterian, and I’ve never been to a meeting like this. But I’ll tell you why I came.

“I have arthritis,” she explained. “That’s the reason I couldn’t get up out of my seat. That’s why my body is so stiff.”

Google commons

She continued: “But I saw one of my neighbors walking down the street this afternoon. She was just about as bad off with arthritis as I am maybe worse. I knew she couldn’t walk, yet there she was walking down the street perfectly, with nobody helping her!

“I sent my husband to go get her so I could talk to her. I thought she’d gotten hold of some new medicine somewhere or found some doctor who was an expert with arthritis. “I asked her about it, and she said, ‘No, I was just down there at the grand ballroom of the Carlton Hotel last night. And a minister laid his hands on me, and the Lord healed me instantly. I fell on the floor, and when I got up, the arthritis was gone.’

“When she told me that,” this woman continued, “I said to my husband, ‘Well, you just get me down there; we’ll have that minister lay hands on me too.’ “That’s why I came tonight. I came here to try you out to see what you could do.”

I said, “Well, you found out what I could do, didn’t you?” “Yes,” she said, “nothing.” You see, so many times that’s the case. Folks just want to see what the minister can do instead of believing God for themselves and believing in His power.

Google commons

Then this woman said to me:  “In this meeting, I heard you say that the Lord appeared to you.”

“Well,” I said,  “He did appear to me. I’d be lying if I said He didn’t.”

 She said, “I heard you say that He laid the finger of His right hand in the palm of each one of your hands.”

I said, “He sure did. A fellow would go to hell for lying just as quick as he would for stealing. And I’d be lying if I said Jesus didn’t lay the finger of His right hand in the palm of each one of my hands.”

She continued: “I heard you say that Jesus told you to tell us that if we’d believe that and receive it, then that same anointing would flow from your hands into our bodies and drive out the sickness and disease.”

I answered, “I said that, all right. Jesus told me to say it. If I said He didn’t, I’d be lying about it.”

“Well,” she said, “I’ll tell you, I’m ready to believe it. Just put your hand on me.”

Google commons

I could see that she was ready. I could see her earnestness, so I just reached out toward her, and, really, I barely touched her. I barely brushed her forehead with my hand, and I was conscious of the anointing just rushing into her. You see, she pulled it out of me, and it just rushed into her.

Then she fell backward onto the floor and lay there for a little bit. When she made an effort to get up, her husband and another lady nearby helped her. When she got up, her husband tried to hand her that cane. She pulled away from it and said, “Can’t you see I don’t need that?” Her body was just as limber and free as mine was — all the arthritis had disappeared! Every bit of it was gone, glory to God! Well now, what activated that power or anointing? Faith did. Faith activates the power!

Now I was anointed with that healing power the first time I laid hands on the woman. In fact, although I didn’t tell her, the anointing on me was stronger when I laid hands on her the first time than it was the second time when she finally received.

Well, why didn’t that anointing heal her the first time? Because she came to the meeting to see what I could do — to try me out. But when she put her faith in God and His power, and she acted upon her faith, she received her healing. Why? Because faith activates the power!

Remember Jesus said to the woman with the issue of blood, “Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole.” Her faith in God and His power is what activated the anointing on her behalf to drive out her disease and heal her.

Your Switch Of Faith

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

KEEP YOUR SWITCH OF FAITH TURNED ON!

We read in Acts 19:12 that the Apostle Paul was anointed with the heavenly power or anointing and that “. . . from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them."

Google commons

We already know that Paul was anointed in a similar manner as Jesus was anointed. And there’s no doubt about it — as soon as the diseases departed from those who came in contact with the handkerchiefs of Paul, the bodies of those who were sick started getting well.

Many times people fail to realize that it takes time for bodies to respond after disease has departed from them. Even after the diseases have departed, especially in cancer cases, the symptoms will often persist because damage has already been done to the bodies.

Sometimes a person’s body is healed instantly, but sometimes it just heals up gradually by itself. On many occasions, I’ve ministered to sick people, and I’ve known that their diseases had departed. Yet the people still had their symptoms for a little while. Sometimes it was ten minutes, an hour, or maybe three days before a person was all right. But I knew all the while that the disease had departed.

People need to be taught properly so they can keep the switch of faith turned on, because if they begin to doubt, the disease will come back.

As I said, when I minister the healing anointing to a person, and he receives the anointing in faith, the healing may be manifested right away or it may not be manifested right away. That’s the reason I’ve said to people, “Keep the switch of faith turned on.”

I didn’t think up that phrase “Keep the switch of faith turned on” on my own. It just sprung up in my spirit during a meeting my wife and I held several years ago. The meeting was held in a certain denominational church in which several hundred members of the congregation had received the baptism in the Holy Ghost and turned Charismatic! 

Google commons

We laid hands on the sick each night during the meeting, and one particular night, there was a blind woman in the healing line. I laid hands on her, and she fell on the floor under the power of God. When she got up, you didn’t have to ask her if she received. Her face was lit up like a neon sign in the dark, and she was shouting, “I can see! I can see!”

We learned later that she’d been blind for three years. She’d been able to detect an object if it was in front of her, but she couldn’t tell if it was a man, woman, boy, girl, horse, cow, or automobile. That was pretty blind, wasn’t it? But after I laid hands on her, she could see clearly! She was instantly healed!.

That same night, a young couple brought their only child to be prayed for. Both of his little feet were clubbed — deformed. I held those little feet in my hands and ministered God’s healing power to them. When I opened my eyes, I saw that those feet looked just as crippled as they were to begin with.

I said to the parents, “If it will help you any, I’ll tell you this: I have a stronger anointing on me right now than I had when I laid hands on that woman who was blind. I’m just going to hold these little feet in my hands for a few moments.” After I did that, those feet looked just as crippled and deformed as they ever were.

Google commons

Well, what are you going to tell people in a situation like that? I said to them, “All I know is what Jesus told me when He appeared to me in the vision and gave me a special anointing to minister to the sick. He told me, ‘When you feel that power go out of your hands into them, you know they’re healed.’”

I continued: “I felt that power go out of my hands into the child’s feet. So keep the switch of faith turned on. Every time you think of it, say, ‘The healing power of God has been ministered to those feet, and the power is working in them right now.’”

That was on a Thursday night, and we closed the meeting on the following Sunday and went on our way. Several months later, the son of the pastor of that church was in one of our meetings. He said, “That couple came back to church the following Sunday, came up to the platform, and asked for the privilege to show the child to the congregation. They held the child up so everyone could see, and both of his feet were perfect!”

Well, that couple kept the switch of faith turned on!

Google commons

This is their testimony:

“We did just what Brother Hagin said to do.” (Actually, it wasn’t me who said it; it was the Holy Ghost. I didn’t even know I was going to say it. It just came up out of my spirit: “Keep the switch of faith turned on.”)

This young couple said, “Every time we looked at our son’s feet, we’d say, ‘Thank God, the healing power of God was ministered to those feet Thursday night, and that power is working in those feet now to effect a healing and a cure.’

“We kept saying that morning and night — every time we thought about it. After three days, his feet started changing. It wasn’t instant, but little by little over the next three or four days, they continued to change until they were just as perfect as feet can be!”

Well, Mark 16:18 said, “. . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they SHALL RECOVER.” Now that blind woman in my meeting was healed instantly, but the young couple kept the switch of faith turned on, and their son recovered!

So if you get an instant healing, just thank God for it. But if you don’t, don’t turn off the switch of faith! Keep saying, “The power of God is working in me,” and keep the switch of faith turned on.

Elwood Engle Testimony

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

My wife and I have just recently moved to central Wisconsin from Texas. We settled in a very cute small town.

My wife started to get a little bored in this small town and wanted to get a little job to soak up some of her time. So she was hired to deliver meals to the elderly inches area.

Google commons

On her route she met Elwood Engle and his wife of 67 years! A beautiful elderly couple who had a wonderful testimony about one of their sons.

About 47 years ago, their son was a talented high school athlete. But one day his left leg started to hurt. The pain would not go away. So, they took him to the hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to be examined. 

After many tests were completed, the doctor came out and spoke in a low, but serious voice. He said, "your son has terminal stage four bone cancer, you need to plan his funeral!"

They were all just devastated! But when all seems lost, that's the best time to go to the Lord! They prayed Isaiah 53:1-5 twice a day. Then they got some fellow church members to pray with them. In short order they had Christians in eight states praying for their son.

When they next went to the hospital for more tests, the report was that all of the cancer was miraculously gone! All of the tests were clear of the disease!

All of the doctors and hospital staff were amazed when it was revealed that hundreds of people in eight states had prayed for this young man, and the Lord healed him.

To build up his strength they had him ride a stationary bike. Then a real bike, with some of the hospital staff following with him. In this whole time of healing and physical therapy, many were convicted and gave their hearts to Jesus.

A Cry For Deliverance

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

LAKE'S CRY FOR  DELIVERANCE.

I lived in a family which for 32 years was never without an invalid in the home. Before I was 24 years of age, we had buried four brothers and four sisters, and four other members of the family were dying—hopeless, helpless invalids. I set up my own home, married a beautiful woman, and our first son was born. 

Google commons

In only a short time I saw the same devilish train of sickness that had followed father’s family had come into mine. My wife became an invalid; my son was a sickly child. Out of it all one thing developed in my nature: a cry for deliverance. My soul cried to God for deliverance. I knew nothing about the subject of healing; notwithstanding, I was a Methodist evangelist.

But my heart was crying for deliverance; my soul had come to the place where I had given up depending on man. My father had spent a fortune on the family to no avail, as if there were no stoppage to the train of hell. And let me tell you, there is no human stoppage, because the thing is settled deep in the nature of man—too deep for any material remedy to get at it. 

It takes the Almighty God to get into the depth of man’s nature and find the real difficulty that is there and destroy it. If you are away from God and your heart is longing, your soul is crying for God’s deliverance, He will be on hand to deliver. You will not have to cry very long until you see that the mountains are being moved, and the angel of deliverance will be there.

Wikipedia Commons

I finally got to that place where my supreme heart-cry was for deliverance. Tears were shed for deliverance for three years before the healing of God came to us. I could hear the groans and cries, the wretchedness and sobs, and feel my family’s desperation. My heart cried, my soul sobbed, my spirit wept tears. I wanted help. I did not know enough to call directly on God for it. Isn’t it a strange thing that men do not have sense enough to call on God for physical difficulties, as well as for spiritual ones? But I did not.

But one thing matured in my heart—a real hunger. And the hunger of a man’s soul must be satisfied. It is a law of God which is in the depths of the Spirit. God will answer the heart

that cries; God will answer the soul that asks. Christ Jesus comes to us with divine assurance and invites us when we are hungry to pray, to believe, to take from the Lord that which our soul covets and our heart yearns for.

One day the Lord of heaven came our way, and in a little while the cloud of darkness, that midnight of hell, that curse of death, was lifted. The light of God shone into our life and into our home, just the same as it existed in other men’s lives and other men’s homes. We learned the truth of Jesus and were able to apply the divine power of God. We were healed of the Lord.

“Blessed are they which do hunger."

I'd Like To Try This Thing

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

JUST BELIEVE

At a meeting I was holding, the Lord was working and many were being healed. A man saw what was taking place and remarked, “I’d like to try this thing.” He came up for prayer and told me that his body was broken in two places. I laid my hands on him in the name of the Lord, and said to him, “Now, you believe God.” 

Google commons

The next night he was at meeting and he got up like a lion. He said, “I want to tell you people that this man here is deceiving you. He laid his hands on me last night for rupture in two places, but I’m not a bit better.” I stopped him and said, “You are healed, your trouble is that you won’t believe it.”

He was at meeting the next night and when there was opportunity for testimony this man arose. He said, “I’m a mason by trade. Today I was working with a labourer and he had to put a big stone in place. I helped him and did not feel any pain. I said to myself, `How have I done it?’ I went away to a place where I could strip, and found that I was healed.” 

I told the people, “Last night this man was against the Word of God, but now he believes it. It is true that these signs shall follow them that believe, they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. And all through the power that is in the name of Christ.” It is the Spirit who has come to reveal the Word of God, and to make it spirit and life to us.

Jack Coe

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

JACK COE

Jack Cole contracted tropical malaria at the age of twenty-six and his weight had now dropped from 230 to 135 pounds. He was literally skin and bones. Once his fever shot up to 106 degrees, then remained there for fifty-four hours. His spleen and liver swelled to twice their normal size, producing pain so great that Coe would bite his tongue until it bled.

Google commons

Finally, when the fever broke enough for Coe to understand conversation, the doctors told him of his condition. They saw there was nothing they could do for him, so after a few days, he was discharged and sent home to his family. "Now, God, what shall I do?" was his earnest prayer. The Lord's answer was, "I've called you to preach the Gospel. Go out and preach it!"

For a while, Coe would appear to be well, then another malaria attack would bring him down. Strong chills and a high fever brought the man to his knees. It was difficult for him to maintain a normal life. The intense pain in his spleen and liver was almost unbearable. Juanita would sit with him for hours, applying ice packs to comfort him.

Finally, Coe thought he could stand it no more. Feeling it was her husband's time to die, Juanita left their trailer in tears. It was then that Coe began to repent as the Lord showed him different things. This went on for some time, and Coe began to feel inwardly free. "All right Lord, I'm ready to go now," were his words toward the end of this time. A voice spoke back to his heart, "You're ready to go, but you don't have to." Then suddenly, Coe felt as if he were covered with warm oil from head to toe as the Lord spoke, "You are healed now."

Google commons

Coe jumped out of bed. He grabbed his wife, who by this time, was asleep near him and shouted, "Honey! Honey! I'm healed! I'm healed!"

The next night, despite harassing thoughts from the devil, Coe dressed and preached on the street. Three people were saved. Later that same year, the Assemblies of God ordained him into the ministry. Coe would never have another attack of malaria-God had truly healed him!

The Police Sent To Arrest Me

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

TWO POLICE MEN WERE SENT TO ARREST ME FOR PRACTICING HEALING WITHOUT LICENSE.

- Smith Wigglesworth

When I was in Switzerland the Lord was graciously working and healing many of the people. I was staying with Brother Reuss of Goldiwil and two policemen were sent to arrest me. The charge was that I was healing the people without a license. 

Wikipedia commons

Mr. Reuss said to them, "I am sorry that he is not here just now. He is holding a meeting about two miles away, but before you arrest him let me show you something."

Brother Reuss took these two policemen down to one of the lower parts of that district, to a house with which they were familiar, for they had often gone to that place to arrest a certain woman, who was repeatedly put in prison because of continually being engaged in drunken brawls. He took them to this woman and said to them, "This is one of the many cases of blessing that have come through the ministry of the man you have come to arrest."

 This woman came to our meeting in a drunken condition. Her body was broken, for she was ruptured in two places. While she was drunk, the evangelist laid his hands on her and asked God to heal her and deliver her." The woman joined in, "Yes, and God saved me, and I have not tasted a drop of liquor since." 

Wikipedia commons

The policemen had a warrant for my arrest, but they said with disgust, "Let the doctors do this kind of thing." They turned and went away and that was the last we heard of them.

We have a Jesus that heals the brokenhearted, who lets the captives go free, who saves the very worst. Dare you, dare you, spurn this glorious Gospel of God for spirit, soul and body? Dare you spurn this grace? I realize that this full Gospel has in great measure been hid, this Gospel that brings liberty, this Gospel that brings souls out of bondage, this Gospel that brings perfect health to the body, this Gospel of entire salvation. Listen again to this word of Him who left the glory to bring us this great salvation, "Verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, . . . he shall have whatsoever he saith." Whatsoever!

Learn To Depend On Him For Your Healing

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

DEPEND ON YOUR SPIRIT.

"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. 

Therefore I say unto you, 

What things soever ye desire, when ye  pray,

 believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

—Mark 11:23,24

Google commons

Your spirit knows things that your head does not know, because the Holy Spirit is in your spirit.

When medical science gave me up to die as a teenager  and said they could do nothing further for me, I knew somehow that if there was help for me anywhere it would  be in the Bible.

I started with the New Testament because I knew I  didn't have much time. Eventually I came to Mark 11:23  and 24. When I came to Mark 11:24, something from outside  me somewhere said to my mind, That doesn't mean what  things  soever  ye  desire  physically,  or  materially,  or  financially. That just means whatsoever things ye desire  spiritually. Healing has been done away with.

I tried to get my pastor to come and tell me what Mark  11:24 did mean. He did not come. One preacher finally did  come. He patted my hand, put on a professional voice and  said, "Just be patient my boy. In a few more days it will all  be over."

I accepted the verdict and lay there expecting to die. It  was two months before I got back into the Bible and back to Mark 11:23 and 24.

Google commons

I said, "Lord, I tried to get someone to help me and I couldn't. So I am going to tell You what I am going to do. I am just going to take You at Your Word. When You were here on earth, You said it. I am going to believe it. If You  didn't lie about it, I am coming off this bed, because I can believe what You said I can believe."

Then I hit on this idea. (It took me a long time because I had limited use of my hands. They propped the Bible in front of  me  and I  just  sort  of  "scooted"  the  pages.)  I decided to run my reference on faith and healing. I came to James 5:14 and 15.

JAMES 5:14,15

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of  the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

I thought all the rest of the healing scriptures and prayer promises hinged on that—I thought you HAD to call for the elders of the church. (You don't have to—you just can if you need to.) So I began to cry, "Dear Lord, if I have to call for the elders of the church to anoint me with oil to be healed, then I can't be healed. I don't know any elders of the church that believe in that."

Google commons

I had been saved about six months, and I had never heard an inward voice. I am not talking about the voice of the Spirit of God—that is more authoritative—I am talking about that still small voice of my spirit. My spirit said to me, "Did you notice that verse said that the prayer of faith shall save the sick?"

I had to look again. I'd had my mind on the elders and  had missed that.

 "Yes," I said aloud, "that is what it says!"

 It came as a real shock to me. Then on the inside of me these words were spoken, 

"You  can  pray  that  prayer  as  well  as  anyone  can." 

Hallelujah!

But my spiritual education was slow—just like yours. I stayed in that bed nine more months before I finally saw that I had to believe I received my healing before it would be manifested.

It was while I was praying and saying,

 "I believe that I receive my healing," 

that I saw what I must do. I said,

 "I believe that I receive healing from the top of my head to the soles of my feet." 

Google commons

Then I began to praise God because I believed that I received my healing. Again, on the inside of me, I heard these words—this was not that authoritative voice, but just a still small voice, so faint I would not have heard it if my mind and body had been very active—

"Now you believe that you are well."

I said, "I sure do."

That inward voice said,

 "Get up then. Well  people ought to be up at 10:30 in the morning."

I  had  been  paralyzed.  It  was  a  struggle.  I  pushed myself. Finally, I got up to where I was draped over the bedpost. My knees sagged down not far from the floor. I had no feeling from my waist down. But draped over that bedpost I said it again,

 "I want to announce in the Presence of Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the holy angels present in this room, and I want to call the devil to record and all evil spirits that may be present in this room, that according to Mark 11:24, I believe that I receive my healing."

Google commons

When I said that, physically, I felt something. It felt like someone above me was pouring a pitcher of honey on me. I felt it strike me on the top of my head. It seemed to pile up like honey would, and then it began to ooze down over me. It had a warm glow to it. It spread down over my head, down my neck and shoulders, down my arms and out the ends of my fingers, and down my body and out the ends of my toes.

All of a sudden I was standing straight! I have been straight ever since.

But I want you to see this. I listened to my spirit. Faith is of the spirit. Your faith will not work to its fullest until you learn some of these things. Learn to depend on Him the One who is in you. Learn to develop your own spirit. 

Have faith in the fact that your faith in God works.

R. A. Torrey

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

R.A. Torrey (1856-1928) was one of the foremost evangelists of his day. He was a great man of prayer who went around the world proclaiming the message of the gospel and helping men receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Even the great Evangelist D.L. Moody after hearing Torrey preach said, “you make my mouth water for Him.”

Google commons

The topic that R.A. Torrey struggled with for years was that of Divine Healing. This was due to the ministry of John Alexander Dowie. Dowie was a great pioneer of the healing message, yet was brash, aggressive, and would openly thrash and humiliate anyone who disagreed with his doctrine. After seeing the open feuds between Dowie and Moody, Torrey decided to stay away from the topic of divine healing all together. Yet, something continued to draw him to it over the years. He began to see people healed in his own meetings and at the time Aimee Semple McPherson brought another great wave of healing to the nation.

Towards the end of his life, he felt the need to respond to what he was seeing and published a little book called “Divine Healing.” Within the writings he said, “Does God heal in answer to prayer today? Does He really heal people who are beyond the skill of the physician and beyond all human help? Does he work miracles today? 

Google commons

To all these questions I reply, He does. Not only does the Bible teach it, but experience demonstrates it." Would Torrey have seen things in a different light if he had not encountered Dowie? Only God knows the answer to that question. Torrey died on October 26, 1928. His remarkable evangelistic campaigns remain, like those of his friend Moody, a hallmark of effective and memorable Christian movements.

Regardless of the actions of other ministers that were hurtful, Torrey decided to go with what God’s word had to say on the matter, and he left a legacy of faith proclaiming that God saves, God fills with the Holy Ghost, and God heals! Let’s all do the same!
