Move People Into the Will of God
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
That
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.(Matt. 8:17)
Based on what the husband said, I knew they weren't absolutely sure it
was God's will to heal his wife. So I asked him, "How are you going to
find out if it's God's will to heal her?"
He looked at me sort of startled and said, "I thought you'd lay hands on
her and pray. And if it is God's will, He would heal her. And if it
isn't, He wouldn't."
"No," I said, "I can't pray, because she wouldn't be healed."
"Well, what are we going to do? How are we going to find out whether or
not it's God's will to heal her?" he asked.
I knew that I had to move them into faith. I had to move them into the
will of God. So I said, "What if the Word of God said that Jesus took
your wife's infirmities and bore her sicknesses? Would it be God's will
to heal her?"
"Certainly it would," he said.
I turned to Matthew 8:17 and laid the Bible in his wife's lap. I told
her to read the verse out loud. The minute she read it, her husband
jumped off the altar and said, "The first half of my prayer wasn't any
good, was it? We're going to have to throw it away."
Well, I didn't tell him, but the whole prayer wasn't any good. He could
throw the whole thing away.
He said, "The Bible says that Himself [Jesus] took our infirmities, and
that includes my wife's infirmities."
I said, "You see that, but does your wife see it? You're not the one who
needs healing." I turned to his wife and she said, "I see it."
The husband said, "It's God's will then. We'll just have to throw the
first part of that prayer away. All we have to do now is pray that God
will give us faith so that she can be healed."
"No," I said. "I can't pray yet. Sit back there on the altar. We have to
talk some more."
Confession: Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. By the
stripes of Jesus, I am healed!
