2 6 : B V O V
Admittedly, we did chuckle a bit over the
question, but it was actually a good one.
One all of us as believers need to be able to
answer. If we want to cross the fi nish line of
this life as victoriously as God intends us to,
we need to know: When we're ready to leave
this earth, do we have to get sick in order to
die? When the time comes for us to go to
heaven, do we have to let some foul disease
evict us from our body in order to depart?
No, praise God, we don't!
In fact, we should be absolutely unwilling
to go out of here that way. No matter how
old we might be, we ought to believe God for
healing if we need it. Then, once we're well
we can take o for heaven.
One of my fathers in the faith, Brother
Kenneth E. Hagin, used to tell about an
elderly believer he knew who did this. Her
name was Grandma Jethcoat. A wonderful
Christian woman, in her old age she came
down with stomach cancer and wasted
away until the doctors said she had only days
to live. When Brother Hagin went to pray for
her, initially she resisted. "I'm old enough to
go now," she said. "Just let me die."
"I'm not going to do it!" he replied. "I want
you to get healed. Then if you still want to die
you can." She said OK, and over the next few
months he kept visiting her and ministering
The WORD of God to her. Sure enough, she
got healed.
Several years later, Brother Hagin stopped
by to see her again and was informed by her
by Kenneth Copeland
What a
Way To Go!
YEARS AGO, A LADY WHO'D HEARD GLORIA AND ME PREACH ABOUT
DIVINE HEALING WROTE TO US, VERY PERPLEXED. "IF I KEEP GETTING
HEALED, HOW AM I EVER GOING TO DIE?" SHE ASKED.
