Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin shared this testimony:
Down in Texas several years ago, a fine denominational minister had a very outstanding ministry. Many of the denominational churches would sponsor him in citywide meetings. In his evangelistic endeavors he became sick.
And by his own testimony, within a couple of years, all of his own money was gone. He had had $10,000 in the bank, and that was a lot of money back then. But in two years time, money was gone. He had to sell his automobile, his home, and mmost of his books in order to pay his doctor bills. He had been everywhere, including the Mayor Clinic to try to receive help, but was none the better; rather, he grew worse.
Finally he was hospitalized in California. The doctor said that he was going to die. The minister contacted his brother who lived in California to borrow some money so he could go home to Texas where he could die. Their 82 year old mother lived in Texas and he wanted to see his mother before he died. So his brother sent him money and he went home.
The minister went to live with his mother at the old home place in Texas where he grew up. His mother was so glad to see him. He told his mother that he had come home to die. His dear old mother had a 19 year old boy who lived with her who did the chores around the place.
This 19 year old boy became the sick minister's nurse; the boy had to turn the sick man on his bed and dress him. One day the boy said to him, "Why don't you let he Lord heal you? The Bible says that if there is any sick among you, let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray for you (James 5:14-15)
Here was a minister who supposedly knew the Bible and yet didn't even know that these scriptures were in the Bible. He had gone to school and studied everything but the Bible.
The Minister told the boy to get his Bible and find that passage of Scripture, but the boy never learned how to read. The man asked him how he knew that passage of Scripture was in the Bible. The boy said that his preacher had told him it was in the Bible. So the denominational minister looked up the scriptures and read them.
The boy told the minister that his preacher was having a healing meeting under a brush arbor and invited the minster to come. Arrangements were made for the minister to come to the meeting; someone brought an old Mode-T Ford and made a bed in the back of it for the minister. They drove up as close to the brush arbor as they could, and after the service the preacher came out and anointed the sick minster with oil and prayed over him.
It was about midnight before the minster and boy returned home. When the minster got home, he asked his mother to let the boy fire up the wood stove so she could fry him some ham and eggs. He had been eating baby food and soft foods because he couldn't eat any solid food. In fact, he hadn't had anything to eat except baby food in two years.
The man told his mother that he was healed. He told her the preacher had anointed him and prayed for him. The mother said later that as her son related this, she thought she he had lost his mind. He also wanted his mother to make some old-fashioned country biscuits for him to eat too. She thought that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well die happy, so she did what he wanted and made the biscuits and fried the ham and eggs. He ate that meal and didn't suffer any ill effects whatsoever; he was completely healed.
FAITH IN JESUS BRINGS HEALING....!
