1.11 Testimony - Raised from death bed to teach God’s people faith
Kenneth Hagin was paralyzed and given up to die as a teenager. He suffered from a heart deformity and a blood condition that were both incurable.
Being bedfast, he had a lot of time to pray and to read the word. After struggling for some time, Hagin stumbled upon Mark 11:22-24.
(Mark 11:22-24, NKJV)
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
He prayed the prayer by faith and believed God for his healing but nothing happened. He told God that he had prayed and believed according to Mark 11:22-24. The Holy Spirit told him that the last clause of the Scripture said, “Believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” He suddenly realized that he had to believe that he had received the healing in spite of the circumstances. He had wanted to receive his healing first, and then believe it.
After receiving this revelation, He began to thank God for his healing. After thanking God for 10 minutes, the Holy Spirit said that healed people should not be in bed. He answered, “That’s right; I’m going to get up.” Faith takes the answer now.
He had no feeling from waist down. He pushed himself to a sitting position and pushed his feet off the bed. They were lifeless like chunks of wood. He grabbed hold of the bedpost and struggled to stand up. Immediately, his mind was filled with doubts and negative thoughts. He hung on to God’s Word; he declared to God that the Word of God is true, and that he was healed. The room seemed to be spinning. He continued thanking God for his healing. Then he felt a warm sensation flow down from his head. When it reached his waist, feeling began to return to his legs. He received his healing by faith.
After he was healed, God used Kenneth Hagin to teach His people faith.
