Today I want to share from Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food" devotional! This is SUCH an important lesson to get inside!
Every Good Gift
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17).
What is good?
Acts 10:38 says that Jesus went about doing good and healing. Healing is good! Sickness is not good. Every healing comes down from the Father. Every sickness does not come down from the Father.
In the first place, where in the world would God get sickness to put on you? He doesn't have any in Heaven. He would have to borrow some from the devil! (You can't give someone something you don't have.) The Bible says there is no sickness in Heaven. Therefore, sickness can't come from Heaven.
What does come down from Heaven?
Every good gift and every perfect gift!
Confession: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from my Father, the Father of lights. Only good gifts can come down from God, for God is good, and Heaven holds only good. There is no sickness in Heaven. Therefore, sickness cannot come from God. Healing comes from God. So I purpose to receive only what my Father gives - healing!
AMEN! AMEN! and AMEN! If we do not get it right concerning what does and does not come from God, then we will never be in a position of authority to take control of our lives! HE has given us authority, but we have to know how and when to use it! If we THINK that something bad is of God, then we will never deal with it as we should! Know that if it is GOOD, then it is from God, no matter who hands it to us! If it is BAD, then it does NOT come from God, BUT He WILL show us the way of escape! AMEN! It is SO important to know these things, and then to know who WE are - IN HIM! Here is Hillsong Worship with "Who You Say I AM":What is good?
