6.31 Testimony of Kenneth Hagin – Intercession delivered his brother from death

This is a powerful testimony of how the Holy Spirit makes intercession within us for others in the perfect will of God. As priests of God, we are vessels that the Holy Spirit can use.

In 1956, while in California, Rev. Kenneth Hagin was awakened suddenly in the night with a prayer burden. He knew something was wrong but did not know exactly what. So he let the Holy Spirit lead him as he prayed in tongues. He prayed for an hour before he felt the release in His spirit that the Lord had intervened. Then he went back to sleep.

As he slept, the Lord showed him in a dream that his brother had died in Louisiana. In the dream, the doctor told him that the brother was dead but he told the doctor that his brother was alive. Jerking the sheet from his face to prove that he was dead, the doctor saw that his brother was breathing and his eyes were open. He saw his brother rise up well and the dream ended. He knew then that this was what he had been praying about.

Three months later, his brother told him that he almost died. In fact, the doctors thought he was dead for 40 minutes. Rev. Hagin told him about the prayer burden and how he had interceded.
