Listen to Your Heart, Not Your Head
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
But
let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,
even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of
God of great price.
(1 Peter 3:4)
More
than sixty-eight years ago when I was on the bed of sickness, I began to
get a little glimpse of light from the Word of God concerning healing.
So I began to talk to other Christians about it. They would tell me,
"Well, yes, God did heal under the Old Covenant, but that was just for
the Jews. That's not for us nowadays."
Now many might have responded by thinking, Well, I guess that's a closed
subject then. They're Christians, and they ought to know what they're
talking about.
But, you see, I was no longer religious. I wasn't just a church person
anymore. I had become a Christian. There's a difference between the two.
Unfortunately, many church people have been religiously brainwashed;
they've never really been taught the Bible. So many times, they just
accept what they are told about the Bible.
Now when these religious people would tell me that healing is no longer
for us today, my head - my intellect - would want to accept that,
because my head had been educated that way.
My head had heard preachers and others say, "Yes, the Lord Jesus healed
when He was here on the earth, and the apostles healed, all right. But
the Lord did that just to get the Church established. When the last
apostle died, all that ceased." I had heard that worn-out, washed-out
theory over and over.
But my heart said, "That's not right." When I say "heart," I'm not
talking about the physical organ that pumps blood. The heart of man is
his spirit. The Bible also calls it "the hidden man of the heart" or
"man's innermost being."
Something on the inside told me that I could be healed. I don't mean it
was a voice; it was an inward intuition, an inward witness. Way down on
the inside of me, I knew that what those religious people were saying
was wrong.
Confession I listen to my heart, to my innermost being. And the Lord
leads me and guides me into all truth.
