Jesus Is in the Delivering Business
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me [Jesus], because he hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.(Luke
4:18)
I
received a letter from a gentleman who had attended a meeting I held in
Phoenix, Arizona, many years ago. This gentleman mentioned that he had
been an officer in the United States Army.
At the time of the meeting in Phoenix, he was retired and had just
gotten out of the veterans' hospital for the third time. He had been in
the hospital trying to be cured of alcoholism. But he came out drinking.
He had also admitted himself into three different private hospitals trying
to be cured of alcoholism.
He finally got down on his knees and began to pray. He said, "Lord, I
knew You when I was young. Take me back. I'm a wayward child. Forgive
me. Like the prodigal son of old, I'm coming back home."
After he prayed, that burden rolled off him just like a heavy load
rolling off his chest. But he was still bound by alcohol. He couldn't
stop drinking.
A friend told him about our meeting in Phoenix and said, "There's a
former Baptist preacher out there laying hands on people. They're
getting healed and delivered."
He came to the meeting seeking help. I laid hands on him. A year later,
I heard from him. He said, "Since then, I've never touched another drop
of alcohol. I've never even wanted it."
Now in his letter, eight years had come and gone. He wrote, "The power
of God came on me, surged through my body, and drove that alcohol demon
right out of me. I've never had any withdrawal symptoms in all these
years."
Isn't that just like Jesus? He wants to help people.
Confession:Jesus came to set people free. He came to bring healing
and deliverance to the world. Thank You, Jesus, for giving Your life so
that I could be free!
