Quotes from Kenneth E. Hagin

I had to come down to the brink of the grave before I'd do what I'm urging you to do—come to God's Word in a constant, careful, diligent, reverent, prayerful manner and find out what God's Word has to say on this subject.

Back during the Gold Rush you could go into a stream of water and pan out a little gold dust. But if you really wanted to make a strike and get down where the real gold was, you had to dig for it. In the same way you can skim along on the top of scriptures—but if you really want to find out what the Bible says, you'll have to dig down into the Word of God.)

But it will work if you'll get it down on the inside of you! Into your heart! The way you do that is not by just reading it and forgetting it. But by meditating upon it. By thinking upon it. By feeding upon it. Until it becomes a part of your inward man.

Salvation belongs to the sinner. Jesus already has bought the salvation of the worst sinner, just as He did for us. That's the reason He told us to go tell the Good News; go tell sinners they're reconciled to God.

faith begins where the will, or the Word, of God is known.

There's no sin problem. Jesus settled that. There's just a sinner problem. Get the sinner to Jesus, and that cures the problem.

And as you feed upon the Word by meditating, you will be ready to use these scriptures against demons who will try to make you doubt God and who will try to rob you of what you want. It is the devil who tries to make you doubt God.

The Bible says, "Fight the good fight of faith . . ." (1 Tim. 6:12). If there weren't any hindrances to faith, there wouldn't be a fight. When it comes to the natural things, people will fight tooth and toenail for what belongs to them. But when it comes to spiritual things, many times they just roll over and play dead!

But if you will guard against every evil thought and think only on those things which affirm that God has heard and answered your prayers, you will be cooperating with God in faith. You will have to guard your mind in order to develop in faith. And as you stand your ground firm in faith, your faith will see you through to victory.

Believe it in your heart; say it with your mouth. That is the principle of faith. You can have what you say.

Thinking faith thoughts, and speaking faith words, will lead the heart out of defeat and into victory.

Feed your faith and starve your doubts.

If what you hear preached doesn't cause faith to come and build faith in your spirit, then it either isn't the Word of God or else you're not hearing it

God is glorified through healing and deliverance, not through sickness and suffering.
