To a bedfast Brother Hagin this came as great news! And he responded to it just like the woman with the issue of blood. He believed it, he said it, and he did it. He pulled his crippled body up out of the bed, connected by faith with the Anointing of God, and he was healed.
Years afterward, when I heard Brother Hagin tell that story, he always made it a point to explain that God’s power was present to heal him every day of the 16 months he was bedfast. But nothing happened until he tapped into that power by his faith.
Press Through the Hindrances
The same will be true for you. You’ll have to make the faith connection to benefit from the anointing that’s available to you through Jesus. But you have an advantage over Brother Hagin. Back when he was a dying teenager he didn’t have any healing meetings to go to. He didn’t have any ministers who were willing to pray for him and lay hands on him in Jesus’ Name.
You do!
Of course, like the woman with the issue of blood, you may have to press through some things to get to those meetings and receive from those ministers. You might have to push through a multitude of negative doctors’ reports, for instance, or through years of being taught that healing might not be God’s will for you. If you haven’t lived for God like you should, you might have to push through feelings of unworthiness and condemnation.
But you can do it. If you’ll only believe, you can press through and receive from Jesus anything and everything you need!
“Well,” someone might say, “I still wish Jesus Himself were here to lay hands on me. He could heal me even if I didn’t believe.”
No…actually, He couldn’t.
You can see that by reading about what happened with the people in Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth. He couldn’t get much of God’s power to them at all. When He told them He was anointed they got offended (“Who does He think He is?” they said, “we know his whole family. He’s no one special!”) and refused to respect and receive Him.
