I really enjoy some of the testimonies about this that Brother Kenneth E. Hagin used to share. One was about a pastor he knew who had suffered with diabetes for 30 years. Brother Hagin ministered a number of times in his church, so when he and his wife were in the area one day, they stopped by to pay the pastor a visit.
Greeting them with surprising news, he said, “I haven’t had a shot of any insulin for two years!” They asked him what happened, and he replied, “It finally dawned on me what you’ve been preaching about faith, or rather, what Jesus taught about it in Mark 11:22-24. I saw that what I needed to do was to believe I receive my healing, and Jesus will see to it that I have it.
“Every morning during my prayer time, I’d walk the floor and say, ‘I believe I receive my healing from sugar diabetes.’ Every time I gave myself a shot of insulin, I’d say it again. ‘I believe I receive my healing from sugar diabetes.’”
As I recall, he did that for two years. Then, one day when he was at the doctor, they did a blood test on him. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life, particularly in someone your age!” the doctor said. “Your pancreas is making quality insulin. You are completely healed of sugar diabetes.”
Brother Hagin went back to Rhema and told the students about it. A number of them who had been diagnosed with diabetes did the same thing and got the same results.
A woman Brother Hagin knew who was born cross-eyed had a similar testimony.
When she was born, her eyes were so badly crossed the doctors wanted to do surgery on her. Her parents had said no, so at 6 months old, they strapped glasses on her head to keep her eyes straight.
After she became an adult, she came up in the prayer line in one of Brother Hagin’s meetings, still wearing thick glasses. He laid hands on her, and afterward she took her glasses off as a way of acting on her faith. She had the right idea. It is vitally important to act on The WORD and not be a hearer only. But when she tried to drive without her glasses, because her healing had not yet manifested, it proved to be dangerous. Plus, she was breaking the law. Her driver’s license required her to wear glasses.
