Confident,
Knowing
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"Therefore we are
always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are
absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight). We are
confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to
be present with the Lord" (2 Cor. 5:6-8).
We are always
confident, knowing...I like that! Not hoping. Not guessing. Not maybe
so. But knowing! Knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are
absent from the Lord. Yes, God's Spirit is in our hearts, crying, Abba,
Father, but Jesus Christ, with a physical, flesh-and-bone resurrected
body is at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. And when we are
absent from the body, we will be present with Him there.
Who is "we"?
At the time of his
physical death, man leaves his body. When he does, he is no less man
than when he had his body. I don't have space here to recount my entire
testimony concerning my experience of dying (for the complete account,
please see my minibook entitled, "I Went to Hell").
But I do want
to say this: When I was outside my body, I was no less man than I was
when I was inside my body. To me, I was just as real as I am now. I had
the same shape. I had the same form. I had the same size. And I knew
everything I knew before I left my body.
Confession:
The real me lives inside my body. The real me is an eternal spirit being
that will never die!
