Keep the Word Before Your Eyes
By
Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin
My
son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them
not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. (Prov. 4:20-21)
Back in September
1957, I knew an 82-year-old evangelist who had been bedfast for two
years with cancer in her stomach. Doctors couldn't understand how she
had lived even that long. When they opened her body up and saw several
malignant growths, they just sewed her back up. They said nothing more
could be done.
I felt led to read her Proverbs 4:20 through 22. I said to her, "When
I was on the bed of sickness, I got hold of these verses and saw one
place where I had been missing it."
I continued, "Proverbs 4:21 says not to let the Word depart from
before your eyes. And this was a turning point for me. You see, I had
seen myself dead. And when I got hold of this scripture and put the
Word of God before my eyes, I began to see myself alive. I began to
see myself doing things I'd never done before."
So I shared with that dear woman, "Every time you look at that stomach
that's so huge, see it down flat. See yourself preaching again. God
doesn't want you to die like this. You can die if you want to. But let
God heal you first and then die. Don't die like this. He won't get any
glory out of that."
Confession:I keep the Word of God
before my eyes and my ears. God's Word is true. His Word is life unto
my spirit.
