Today our guest Pastor is Kenneth E. Hagin of blessed memory. He will be talking to you on the best way to obtain your healing. Happy reading!
“If you’re going to walk in divine health, you will have to walk in God’s love.
“If only people understood how much walking in love has to do with folks receiving their healing. That’s why in my meetings I encourage folks to hear as much of the Word as possible before they get into the healing line. Sometimes they just need to make an adjustment in their love walk before they can receive their healing.
“You see, sometimes by listening to the Word, people get to the root cause and find out where they are missing it in their faith connection. And a lot of times they are missing it in this area of walking in love and forgiveness.

“Over the years, I’ve noticed that those folks who listen to the Word and respond to it by making the necessary adjustments in their heart are the ones who receive their healing. Only a small percentage of people receive healing who only go to one meeting, don’t get into the Word for themselves, and don’t make any needed changes.

“For example, a woman came to my wife and me after a meeting once, and said, “I’ve had stomach trouble and a respiratory problem for some time. I decided to go to every one of your services and get in the healing line at the end of the week.” She had already been to almost every leading healing evangelist in America at that time but had not been healed.

“This woman said, “Toward the end of the week, I began to realize that before I could get into the healing line and expect God to do something for me, I was going to have to get my heart right by calling my brother to ask him to forgive me”.
“She went on to explain to my wife and me that she and her brother had had a disagreement twenty-five years before. They had not spoken to each other since, yet they both claimed to be Christians.

“Folks ought to have enough sense to know that if they don’t receive healing after hands have been laid on them a few times, particularly by those who are specially used by God along this line, they should look on the inside to see if they are out of line with God’s Word somewhere. They should check up on themselves and start changing and making the necessary adjustments because God never changes.
“But too many times when folks don’t get healed, they want to lay off all the responsibility on God or on someone else. But they need to check up on themselves first.

“This woman checked up on the inside and realized she still harbored resentment and unforgiveness against her brother from something that had happened twenty-five years earlier.
“She had recently been filed with the Holy Spirit, but she had been saved for many years. If she had been listening to her spirit, the Holy Ghost would have led her to reconcile with her brother years before. Sometimes it takes some people a long time to change, but it doesn’t have to . They could change sooner if they would just learn to walk in love.

“Anyway, she called her brother long distance, and said, “I just wanted to call and ask you to forgive me. I was wrong.”
“He said, “I’m so glad you called. I was thinking about calling you. You weren’t to blame, I was. I’ve been intending to call you to ask you to forgive me”. They each finally agreed to take fifty percent of the blame. She told him that after the meeting, she was going to fly to New York to visit him.
“She told me later that after she got things right with her brother, she felt a deep sense of peace and well-being on the inside. She lay down to take a nap before the evening service. Later, she told my wife and me, “When I woke up, I couldn’t find a trace of any kind of sickness. I mean, every symptom and every pain completely disappeared!”

“She said, “I’ve never felt so good in all my life. All my stomach problems have disappeared, and so have my lung problems.”
“She said, “I came all the way down here to the meeting, and I never did get in the healing line. But when I forgave my brother and got things straightened out with him, I got healed! The moment she started walking in love, she could claim God’s promises about healing.

“Over a period of many years, I’ve had person after person tell me that same thing – they had to forgive someone and get the situation straightened out before they could receive their healing. Some of them were even terminal cases”.
