Accept God’s Word as Truth
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.(John 17:17)
God
laid on Jesus the cause of our sicknesses, our pains, and our diseases,
and Jesus bore them. Since God wanted Jesus to bear them, does He want
you and me to bear them also? No! The reason Jesus bore our sicknesses
and infirmities was so that we wouldn't have to.
But, instead of accepting God's Word just the way it reads and saying,
"Yes! That's what the Word says," we are prone to say, "Yes, but...."
Well, I can't find a "yes, but..." in that scripture anywhere. Why not
just accept what it says?
A person said to me once, "But, Brother Hagin, that's not the way I
interpret that verse."
I replied, "I'm not interpreting it. It plainly says, 'Himself took our
infirmities and bare our sicknesses.' I'm not interpreting it; I'm
quoting it."
The person said, "Yes, but I don't interpret that to mean what you say
it means."
I said, "I didn't say it means anything."
I added, "What if I said to you, 'My wife and I went to town yesterday,
and she bought a new purse'? How would you interpret that? Would you
think she bought an automobile? Or would you just plainly understand
that we went to town and she bought a purse? Wouldn't you just take me
at my word."
Why not take God's Word for what it says?
Confession I believe that Jesus took my infirmities and bore my
sicknesses. I believe that because He bore them, I'm free. I accept what
God's Word says as truth, and because I accept it and believe it, I say
it with my mouth.
