Have the Tenacity of a Bulldog!
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
And
from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. (Matt. 11:12)
Sometimes in the area of healing, particularly when chronic illness is
involved, you have to do what the Scripture says: You have to take it by
force! Sometimes you just have to get violent about it, and have the
tenacity of a bulldog - grab hold of God and His Word and don't ever
turn loose!
I'll tell you what I literally did on one occasion. Some time after I
was healed as a teenager, all of my heart symptoms came back, and the
devil kept bringing to my mind everything that the doctors had said.
The devil said, "Now you've got all these symptoms and you're going to
die, just like the doctors said. There isn't anything that medical
science can do. They've already told you that, so there's no use to look
to medical science. You're going to die."
I said, "Mr. Devil, the Bible said, 'Himself took my infirmities and
bare my sicknesses.' I don't care what the symptoms are. I don't care
how I feel, or what I look like. According to the Word of God, I believe
that I am healed."
Then I put my Bible down on the floor and stood on it. I said, "God, to
illustrate a spiritual fact, I'm standing on the Word of God." I talked
to the devil, then I talked to God. I had barely finished my
conversation when every symptom disappeared.
Sometimes you just have to get desperate about the situation and say,
"That's it. I'm standing on the Word of God, no matter what."
Confession I am standing on the Word of God. I don't care what the
symptoms are, or how I feel. I believe according to the Word of God that
I'm healed.
