Refuse To Be Denied
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
God
is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should
repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and
shall he not make it good? (Num. 23:19)
When
I was sixteen years old and on the bed of sickness, I said to the Lord,
"Lord, if Your Word is so, I'm coming off this bed. If I don't come off
this bed, it will be because You lied. And if the Bible is no good, I
might as well throw it in the trash can and burn it up." You need to
settle on the integrity of the Word and then go after it "tooth and
toenail." Do not be deterred. Don't let anything stop you.
If the Bible said it, then believe it. That settles it. After that pastor
and I had counted that same offering three times, he said, "Let's count
it again. We've missed it somewhere."
About that time, I remembered that I had an envelope in my pocket. A
woman had given me the envelope at my book table. She had purchased a
Bible for her husband and said, "I owe you $25.00 for the Bible, but I'm
going to make out a check for more than that to include an offering for
you."
I got out the envelope and looked at the check. There was $25.00 for the
Bible and $25.00 for an offering! That was almost $2.00 over what my
wife and I had agreed on. I said, "I can go home now." Someone might
say, "Well, what would you have done if you hadn't found it?"
I'd
still be there counting it. More than fifty years later, I'd be right
there! I wouldn't budge, because I refuse to be denied. God's Word
works! You have to have that kind of determination to walk in the
blessings of God. You have to refuse to be denied!
Confession:
God is not a liar. What He has said in His Word is truth. And I believe
what His Word says. I believe that by Jesus' stripes, I am healed and
made whole. I am determined! I refuse to be denied!
