Don’t Talk Sickness By Kenneth E. Hagin For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.—MATTHEW 12:37 I remember one dear person who was certain that she had cancer. For ten years, every time I saw her, she was sure that she had cancer. I’d say to her, “Well, you don’t.” Every six months, she would go to the doctor for a check up. The doctor never found a trace of cancer. But she would say, “I’m just sure I’ve got it.” Now she was a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian. I said to her, “Don’t talk sickness. You’ll never hear me talking sickness, because I don’t want sickness to dominate me and have a place in me.” But she would go right back to talking sickness. Then I just said outright, “Quit talking sickness! If you keep talking sickness, sickness will develop in your system. I don’t ever talk sickness. I talk healing and health. I don’t believe in sickness. I believe in healing and health. And, you see, what I confess I have. What I confess dominates me!” Well, she wouldn’t listen. She wouldn’t talk in line with God’s Word. Instead, she spoke sickness. And after ten years of telling me she had cancer, the doctor finally found cancer in her body. She talked herself into cancer. She talked herself into dying. I’m glad she went to Heaven, but she could have still been here. Let me say it again: When you confess Satan’s ability to hinder you, to keep you sick, to keep you from success or from any of the blessings of God, you’re giving him dominion in your life. Confession: I don’t talk sickness. I talk health and healing. I talk in line with God’s Word. And I see the fruit of my words manifest in my own life. Source: Health Food Devotions by Kenneth E.

FAITH DEFINED By Kenneth E. Hagin For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. — MARK 11:23 Just after Jesus had demonstrated the God-kind of faith, He defined it. Mark 11:23 is Jesus’ definition of the God-kind of faith. He described it as the kind of faith in which: (1) A person believes in his heart; (2) Then, a person says with his mouth what he believes in his heart; (3) And, it comes to pass. God used that kind of faith to create the world in the beginning. God believed that what He said would come to pass! So He said, “Let there be an earth.” And there was an earth. In fact, He created everything — the sun, the moon, the stars, the plants, and the animals — everything except man — by believing what He said would come to pass Then God said it. And it came to pass. That is the God-kind of faith! Confession “Whosever shall say . . .” includes me. What I believe in my heart, and say with my mouth, shall come to pass. I live and operate in the God-kind of faith. Source: Faith Food Devotions by Kenneth E. Hagin. Excerpt permission granted by Faith Library Publications.

HELPER By Kenneth E. Hagin And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever. — JOHN 14:16 (Amplified) It is sad to realize that some Christians ignore the Holy Spirit who is indwelling within them. I believe they mistakenly think He will come in, take control of their lives, and make them do whatever needs to be done automatically with no effort on their part — but He won’t. Demons do that. They are the ones that make people do things which the people don’t want to do. Demons drive, force, and control people. The Holy Spirit, on the other hand, is a Gentleman. He will never force you to do anything against your will. In the Scriptures we see that the Holy Spirit leads, guides, prompts, and urges. He may give you a gentle “push,” but He will never force you to act. Some complain, “Why doesn’t God do this or that?” The Holy Spirit won’t do anything until you put Him to work for you! He is sent to be your Helper. He is not sent to do the job for you, but to help you do it. When you know the Holy Spirit is in you, then you can act on God’s Word intelligently, and the Holy Spirit will work through you. Begin to talk in line with today’s confession, and you will find that He who indwells you will become more real to you. Confession The Greater One is in me. I’m depending on Him. He will live big in me. He will help me. The Greater One will put me over. He will make me a success! Source: Faith Food Devotions by Kenneth E. Hagin.

‘No Trespassing!’ By Kenneth E. Hagin Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.—LUKE 10:19 Satan and sickness and disease are not your masters. I found that out many years ago. In 1937, I read an excerpt in Reader’s Digest that got me thinking along this line. It stated that in front of one of the government office buildings in Washington, D.C., there was a little patch of grass about fourteen feet by twenty-eight feet. Instead of people walking on the sidewalk, they would cut right across that little patch of green grass. They had worn out that grass, so the caretaker put stakes and a string up. It wasn’t very high. And people just stepped over the string and kept walking on the grass. To fix this problem, the caretaker painted a crude sign and put it up right in the middle of the grass. The sign said, “Gentlemen will not and others must not trespass on this property.” And that stopped it. When I read this, I decided to put a sign up on my body, so to speak, in my spirit. Now you can’t see it, but the devil can. It’s written with spirit language and spirit ink, and it reads, “Gentlemen will not and others must not trespass on this property.” Then in parentheses it says, “Devil, this means you!” That sign has been on my body since 1937. The devil has no right to trespass on your body. He has no right to put sickness and disease on you. Sickness and disease are of the devil; they’re not of God. They do not come from Heaven. There isn’t any sickness or disease up there. God is not the author of sickness and disease, so you can boldly tell the devil, “No trespassing!” Confession: The devil shall not trespass on my property. He has no right to trespass on my body. He has no right to put sickness and disease on me. I resist him in Jesus’ Name. Source: Health Food Devotions by Kenneth E. Hagin. Excerpt permission granted by Faith Library Publications.
