I love today's "Faith Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin!
Feelings
"...For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor
forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5).
A woman came up to me at the close of a service where I had taught on faith. She was crying almost hysterically. She said, "Brother Hagin, pray for me!"
"What is the matter?" I asked.
"It seems like the Lord has forsaken me!"
"What awful sin have you committed to make the Lord forsake you?"
"As far as I know, I haven't done anything," she said. "It just seems like the presence of the Lord is gone from me."
"The Bible doesn't say we walk by 'seems like,'" I explained to her. "It says we walk by faith. And God's Word says that the Lord will never leave you, nor forsake you."
"I know that," she cried, "but it just seems like He has."
"You have more faith in 'seems like' than you have in the Bible."
"But I know what I feel!" she said, almost angrily.
"Yes," I said, "but I know my Jesus. Jesus said it, and I believe it. We cannot be concerned by what we feel."
If you start believing right, thinking right, and talking right, it won't be long until you'll be feeling right!
Confession: Jesus will never leave me, nor forsake me. He said it. I believe it. And I say it.

AMEN! I have always really appreciated the way Kenneth E. Hagin was no nonsense when it came to the Word of God! When we remember that teh Word of God is TRUTH (John 17:17) then we are better able to make OUR words line up with HIS WORD! When we speak His Word, He confirms that Word with signs and wonders and miracles (Mark 16:20)! There is NOTHING higher than the Word of the Living God (Psalm 138:2)! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
