Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food" for today is something that every born again believer must get inside of them so that they REALLY believe it enough to act on it!
"God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life" (1 John 5:11-12).
Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature … and these signs shall follow them that believe" (Mark 16:15,17).
One of these signs Jesus said would follow believers - not the Early Church, not apostles, not pastors, not preachers, but believers - is, " …they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16:18).
Why? Because the life of God is in believers! Sometimes people are specially anointed to minister healing, but that isn't what Mark 16 is talking about! Every born-again believer has the life of God, the nature of God, the God-kind of life, in him - and by the laying on of hands, that life can be imparted into the physical bodies of others!
That's why you should lay hands on the sick. When you lay hands on them, that life of God in you is conducted through your hands to others. Often, you'll be conscious of that life flowing right out of you into them. You've got the life of God in you! You've got the nature of God in you! God's a healing God. Put God's power to work! That's how God works - through your own hands. God's not here on earth in Person, but He is in you by His Spirit!
Confession: I am a believing one. I have the life of God in me. And God is a healing God. I lay hands on the sick, and they recover.
There is a song that we used to sing a lot, and still do sometimes, at The Spoken Word Church. Here are the lyrics:
I've got the life of God in me
I've got the life of God in me
I've got His life, His nature, and His ability
I've got the life of God in me.
YOU, as a born again believer, have that LIFE (Greek "zoe" - the absolute fullness of life that God has within Himself!) inside of YOU! HE is simply waiting for YOU to act on it! He is waiting to confirm the Word that you speak, and the things that you do in obedience to the Word and Holy Spirit, with signs and wonders and miracles that prove to the unsaved wold that our God IS God! The One, True God! AMEN! Let's get about doing our part so that HE can be about confirming it! Here is Hillsong United with "Lost Are Found":
Shalom in Him!
