The Gifts of Healing
220
There was a man there with his wife. By his own admission, he wasn’t a believer. He wasn’t big
on church, he did not want to be in that service, and he thought I had gone entirely too long. His
wife loved Brother Hagin’s ministry, and we were having healing services. So she wanted to
come and be in these services, but he did not want to. She had kept praying and trying to figure
out how she could come. Finally, she found out that there was some good fishing in some of the
lakes near the meeting site. So when she suggested to him that there was good fishing there, and
he could fish while she went to service, he thought that was okay.
So he came and brought her, but in his own words, after a couple of days, she just began to nag
him again and again, “Well, just come to one service with me. Just come to one service.”
He said, “I don’t want to come to one service.”
“Well, just come to one, please. Just one, and then I’ll leave you alone. You can fish.”
He said, “Well, will you shut up about it if I come to one? I don’t want to hear it again.”
She said, “Just one.”
He said, “Alright.” So he came, and he thought, “Will this service ever be over?” Finally we
stood up, and he was fidgeting and wanting to get out of there, and we all prayed.
Well, they left, and he was fussing at her out in the hall. “Don’t you ever, ever ask me to come
back here. I didn’t know anybody could go so long.” He was upset. He got in the car, and he
reached back to rub this growth that had been on his back for years. It was as big as his fist and
had just kept getting bigger over the years. It had bothered him, and he was in the habit of just
reaching back there and rubbing it. He reached back and said, “Huh.” He got his rearview mirror
and tried to turn it around. He said to his wife, “Put your hand back there! Put your hand back
there!”
She did. She reached her hand back there, and she said, “Glory to God! Glory to God! Glory to
God!”
He said, “Ahhh! You sure? What do you feel? I don’t feel it.” For hours he was like, “Ahhh!”
I found out all about this because he was back the next day, and the next day after that. Well, it
sure wasn’t
his
faith. He didn’t even want to be there. He was fussing about hearing the Word. It
was the mercy of God.
I told you that because I’m about to lead you in prayer just like we prayed on that day.
When I say to pray, I mean believe for miracles. You don’t have to know how; you’re just going
to believe God.
