6.28 Testimony of Kenneth Hagin - Exercising spiritual authority over his family

Yesterday, we shared about how Jesus restored our spiritual authority on earth so that we can reign over circumstances as kings in life. Here is a testimony of how Kenneth Hagin took authority over negative circumstances in his family.

Rev. Kenneth Hagin’s older brother, Dub, had an accident and was recuperating. He came to Rev. Hagin’s home in Texas and was very depressed because his wife had left him and taken the children while he was gone. While Rev. Hagin was preaching in church on Sunday, he had a vision. He saw his brother in the city park. He then heard Dub say that he would kill his wife and himself.

Rev. Hagin stopped his sermon and took spiritual authority over the situation. He said to the enemy, “Devil, you stop that right now! I adjure you in the name of Jesus to leave that man.” Then he continued his sermon.

When Rev. Hagin got home, his brother had returned and was in good spirits. He said he had walked to the park and had decided to take matters into his own hands. Rev. Hagin said he knew and shared with Dub about his vision. Dub said he felt a cloud lifted from him suddenly and he came back to the house whistling and singing.

Rev. Kenneth Hagin had taken authority over the devil in that situation and delivered his brother. He knew his spiritual authority and he exercised it in Christ.
