Bible Question:
HI Mark, Can I quote some parts of a page from Kenneth Hagins 'Understanding how to fight the good fight of faith' page 44 Started with James 5:14-16 'The first thing I noticed, is that James asks a question:"is anyone sick among you?" By asking a question, James infers that there might not be any sick people among them. And, really, if the Church knew and walked in the light of 1Peter 2:24, there would not be any sick in the Church! We would be doers of the Word in every area of our lives, including "By whose stripes ye WERE healed," and we would walk in divine health. Then I read in the next verse about calling for the elders of the church, and I thought a person had to get the elders to pray in order to be healed. (Actually, you don't have to but you may). Tears filled my eyes and I began to cry because there was no one to call to pray for me. But the Holy Spirit which is our Teacher called something to my attention. It was so real, it seemed as though someone spoke up on the inside of me - in my spirit. The Holy Spirit said,"Did you notice the verse said, "the prayer of faith (italics) shall save the sick"?" I looked at it again and said, "Well yes, that's what it says." And that voice within said, "You can pray that prayer as well as anyone". I began to see it! I began to believe it!" I would appreciate your thoughts on what was written. Thanks. |
Bible Answer: The Question wasn't directed at me, but if you like, I can tell you what those Scriptures in James are referring to.. however I wont bother discussing what Brother Hagin wrote, no need to talk about what he said when we can read the Word for ourselves :) Brother Hagin might be great to learn by, he has lots of material out there with a wealth of information in it.. however since so many on this forum detest him, we should just talk about the Word, and not the man... don't you agree? |
