Sickness Doesn’t Make You More Spiritual
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow
of turning.(James 1:17)
Sickness and disease don't make people more spiritual. They don't bring
out the best in people - in fact, they usually bring out the worst in
them! Sick people can get cantankerous and hard to get along with.
A friend of mine once said, "Maybe God wants me sick," as if to imply it
was for some spiritual reason. I replied, "Well, you keep believing that
and stay sick. I'll keep believing God wants me well and stay well." And
so I have stayed well for sixty-five years, and he has been sick all
those years. I like my way better.
Now if you want to believe that God wants you sick, go ahead and stay
sick. But don't ask me to pray for you. I've had people in a healing
line say to me, "Brother Hagin, I believe the Lord just wants me sick."
And I've thought, "Well, if He wants you sick, why are you here trying
to get healed? If He wants you sick, then it would be a sin for you to
try to get well."
People in the hospital have also said to me, "I don't believe that it's
God's will to heal me." Well, if it's not God's will to heal them, why
are they in the hospital trying to get well? According to their line of
reasoning, if they ever did get well, they would be out of the will of
God! No, the truth is that God wants people well.
Confession It is God's will that I be well. It is God's will that I
be healed.
