Don’t Shut the Door on God
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as in the provocation.(Hebrews 3:15)
Over
the years, I've had frustrated saints say to me: "I knew So-and-so
twenty years ago. They used to come here to church, but they haven't
been to church for years, while I've been faithful and have been here
every Sunday. Yet they came to the altar the other night and got healed,
and I've been seeking healing for almost a quarter of a century. Why
won't the Lord heal me?"
I say to them, "The Lord has already done all He's ever going to do
about healing you. The Bible says, 'Himself took your infirmities and
bare your sicknesses' [Matt. 8:17].
"God laid your sickness and disease on Jesus nearly two thousand years
ago, so He's already purchased healing for you. It's yours. God has your
healing already packaged up in a nice package with your name on it. He's
just waiting for you to come and claim your possession."
They respond, "Yes, Brother Hagin, I know all that, but now let me tell
you what I believe about it. I just believe that if it's God's will, He
will heal me in His own good time and in His own way."
I say, "He won't, because you've shut the door on Him. You've closed the
door in His face."
So how do you keep the door open? Have an open mind and heart and be
receptive to the Word. Don't substitute what you think or even what you
believe about the situation. Instead, determine what the Word of God
says about the situation, and believe that.
Confession I will not shut the door on God. I believe what His Word
says. Healing already belongs to me, because Jesus purchased it for me
nearly two thousand years ago.
