God
Expects Something of You
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
...they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.(Mark
16:18)
As I
was preaching one time in Pasadena, Texas, a man and his wife brought to
the meeting their little girl who was afflicted. This eight-year-old
girl didn't have much use of her body, and was even unable to feed
herself.
As I laid hands on her and prayed, I knew the power of God went into
her, but she didn't seem to be any better. She was still helpless.
After the service, the family stopped to get some hamburgers before
driving back to their home in Beaumont, Texas. When they ordered their
food, they got a hamburger for the little girl. Ordinarily, the mother
would feed her because the girl couldn't even handle a fork and had
great difficulty swallowing.
The mother would pinch off small bites of whatever she was eating, put
it into her daughter's mouth, and coax her to swallow. But this time, to
their utter amazement, the young girl reached for the hamburger and
said, "Give me that." Then she started eating the hamburger! At this
point, she was at least seventy to eighty percent better.
But because the mother and father didn't walk with God, this poor little
girl lost the healing she had received.
When the parents backslid, they said, "Well, she wasn't one hundred
percent delivered, anyway." You see, they expected God to go ahead and
complete the healing, but He was expecting something of them. He
expected them to do their part, and their daughter paid for their
decision not to believe.
Many times, God will initiate a healing, and a person will begin to feel
better. And if that person will continue walking in faith, he or she
will become perfectly well. But by backing up in their faith and even
denying what has already occurred, many times people lose the whole
healing.
Confession I will walk on with God and let the full manifestation of
my healing come into being. It will come as I continue to believe.
