Today I want to share Kenneth E. Hagin's "Health Food". This
just may help some of you who may have had trouble receiving, or keeping , your
healing!
It Pays To Obey God
And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great
delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of
rams. (1 Samuel 15:22)
I remember a dear, precious saint of
God. She was saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. It was a joy to sit down
and talk to her about the things of God.
I don't know how many times over a period of several years that I prayed with
that dear woman for healing. I could help her momentarily, but I never could
get her completely healed. She would be all right for a little while, and then
she would lose it. I wondered why she had been in such bad health for so many years. She was
eighty years old, and for many years, she had never really lived. Sickness and
disease had incapacitated her.
One day while standing over her bedside, she said, "I never did what God
asked me to do. I wasn't willing. God called me to be a missionary when I was
twelve years old." She loved the Lord, but she was never willing to obey Him. She was never
willing to do what He wanted her to do. That hindered the flow of God's healing
power. I understood it all then.
You see, disobedience opens the door to the enemy. Satan has a right to come in
if the door is open. I've heard people talk about what it costs to serve God.
It doesn't cost to go all out - it pays! But it will cost you to disobey God. It will cost you not to be in the will of
God. It will cost you heartache and sadness. It will cost you sickness and
disease. It will cost you money. Sometimes, it will cost you premature
death.
If there is something you need to deal with, deal with it. If there is
something hindering the healing flow, get it unstopped. Be willing to do
anything God wants you to do.
Confession: I am willing to do anything God wants me
to do. Father God, show me any area of my life that is not right with You, and
I will correct it. I will line my life up with You and Your Word.
Refuse to let anything keep YOU from obeying what the Lord is calling you to do! Remember, it doesn't cost to serve God, even though the enemy would like you to believe that! It ALWAYS pays huge rewards! Here in this life, and in the life to come! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "One Thing":
Shalom in Him!
