Quotes from Kenneth E. Hagin

Abraham's promise was threefold in nature. It was first a spiritual blessing. Second, it was a physical blessing. And third, it was a financial and material blessing.

In fact, go through the four Gospels and search the Scriptures for yourself, and write out every verse Jesus ever mentioned relative to faith. You will find that unforgiveness — the lack of walking in love — is a specific hindrance to faith and prayer that Jesus mentioned (Mark 11:23-25). That doesn't mean there aren't other hindrances to faith and prayer. But what it does mean is that unforgiveness is the main hindrance to faith and answered prayer.

we've all sinned; we've all come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23).

Faith is based on the knowledge of God's Word!

The Bible has the answer to every problem and to every situation in life. No matter what happens in life, the Bible has the answer. It may not be the answer we want to hear, but it's the answer. She

God just blesses people who repent, forgive, and believe.

When you walk in love, you fulfill the Law — all of God's requirements. Without love, you won't be able to walk in God's ways because God is love. Even

I will never be any older than I am right now. I am no older now than I was a few years ago. I know more now than I did then, but I'm not any older. My hair may become grayer and I may get a few more wrinkles, but the real me will never become old. For the inward man is renewed day by day.

Be quick to repent, quick to forgive, and quick to believe God. Forgive

In looking to the Holy Spirit for guidance, I rely as much on what He doesn't tell me as on what He does.

Three gifts of utterance that say something: • Prophecy • Divers kinds of tongues • Interpretation of tongues Three gifts of power that do something: • The gift of faith • The working of miracles • The gifts of healings Three gifts of revelation that reveal something: • The word of wisdom • The word of knowledge • The discerning of spirits

It had been hard to wait without seeing anything, because the natural mind wants to walk by sight. But God wants us to walk by faith. Faith is of the heart. Our spirit will not be trained to walk in this way of faith overnight. We will make some mistakes along the way and miss God. But as we continue to seek after Him, we can train our spirit to be led of this inner voice.

When you and I became born again, God became our Father. He is a love God. We are love children of a love God, because we have been born of God, and God is love. The nature of God in us is love. We have His nature in our spirit, not in our flesh. (We've got the flesh to contend with, but we can "crucify" it.) And

ISAIAH 10:27 27 . . . the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

We're waiting on God, and He's waiting on us, and He won't do anything until we act.

There are two kinds of unbelief: 1. Some doubt God's Word because they do not know it. This is unbelief that is based on a lack of knowledge of the Word of God-— because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. So if people do not hear and do not know the Word of God, they cannot have faith. This

2. Another type of unbelief is failure to be persuaded. The children of Israel knew they were to take the Promised Land, because God had said He had given it to them. But they could not be persuaded to act on His Word. There are many believers who are informed about God's Word, but they cannot be persuaded to act on it. This is unbelief. The cure for this particular kind of unbelief is obedience.

He that hath the Son hath life" (1 John 5:12).

Well, if he had ever read the Bible, he should know a sinner does not get healed spiritually. The human spirit of the lost man or woman is not healed—it's reborn. That person becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus. Old things are passed away. All things become new.

If your spirit were healed, you would still have the same spirit, too, except it would just be healed. But no, blessed be God, Second Corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become NEW." Not half of them—all of them. Every bit of them.

So God contacts you through your SPIRIT—not through your MIND, and not through your BODY—because He is a Spirit. He's not a mind. He's not a man. The Bible says He isn't. Although He has a spirit-body over in the spirit world (angels do, too), God is not a PHYSICAL being. He is a Spirit. He contacts us through our spirit, and we contact Him through our spirit.

We must have this spirit of wisdom and revelation of Christ and His Word if we are to grow. It is not going to be imparted to us through our intellect, either. The Holy Spirit must unveil it to us.

Then the minute the first symptoms show up, they say, "I thought the Lord healed me. I guess He didn't." And when they say that, they open the door to the devil. Instead of rising up and meeting the devil with the Word of God and commanding his power to be broken, they yield. Why? Because they have no foundation of God's Word in their lives. They are depending on others to carry them on their prayers and faith.

By a constant, careful, diligent, reverent, prayerful study of God's Word.
