Himself Took . . . And Bare
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. — Matthew 8:17

In our text today, Matthew is quoting Isaiah 53.

When I first understood what this verse really meant, I rejoiced in it. Because when I read it, I was able to emphasize the word “our.” Jesus took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. I am included in that “our”! He took my infirmities, and bore my sicknesses!

At this realization, I felt as the elderly woman did who suddenly turned up missing in London during World War II. Her neighbors didn’t see her in the bomb shelters during enemy air raids, so they assumed she had either been killed or had left town. When some of them saw her on the street several days later, they asked her where she had been. She answered that she hadn’t been anywhere.

“But what did you do during the bombing?” they asked.

She said, “I just stayed in bed and slept.”

“Weren’t you afraid?”

“No, after I read in the Bible that God neither slumbers nor sleeps, I decided there wasn’t any need for both of us to stay awake!”

Since Christ Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses, there isn’t any need for us to bear them. Jesus bore them so that we might be free!

Confession: Because Christ took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses, there is no need for me to bear them. I accept what Jesus has provided!

Find Someone Who Will Agree With You
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight. . . . — DEUTERONOMY 32:30

Once a woman in Fort Worth said to me, “Brother Hagin, I realize that I haven’t been standing in faith.”

She had an incurable condition in her body. It wasn’t terminal, but it was an incurable condition she’d had most of her life. Doctors in the Dallas/Fort Worth area had treated her. She and her husband had spent thousands of dollars.

She said to me, “I thought I had been standing in faith for nineteen years and the manifestation just hadn’t come. But when I heard you teaching, I realized that I was praying for my healing over and over again instead of just agreeing that it was done. I decided to find someone to agree with me that I’m healed. And within three days, that incurable condition was gone! The specialists couldn’t find a trace of it in my body!”

What happened? The Bible says that one can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight. So stay in faith and find someone to agree with you that you’re healed.

Confession: I agree with my brothers and sisters in Christ that I am healed and they are healed. We’re not going to be; we are! According to the Word of God, it is done!

Supplying Our Needs
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19

It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them!

Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial.

Believe that!

Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters.

With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will!

Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confident that God hears me. That’s what His Word says. And if I know that God hears whatever I ask of Him, I know that I have the petition I desired of Him. According to the Word of God, I have my petition. And I thank God for it!

Saving The Lost
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. — 2 PETER 3:9

We know that saving the lost is God’s will — because it was to save the lost that Jesus laid down His life.

Therefore, knowing this, we would not pray, “God, save my mother, if it is Your will. Don’t let her go to hell, if it is Your will. If it’s not Your will, let her go to hell.”

No! Why? Because we know God’s will in the matter. God’s will — His Word — makes it clear in such scriptures as John 3:16 and Second Peter 3:9. It is God’s will for men and women to be saved. Therefore, we can pray for the lost with great boldness.

Believers especially can exercise great authority in praying for the salvation of their families. I used some of the scriptures we have been studying as I prayed for my relatives. I said something like this: “This is the confidence that we have in God, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. What I am asking for is according to God’s will; therefore, He hears me. That is what the Word says. ‘And if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desire of him.’ Then according to the Word, I have that petition.”

Then I stopped asking and started thanking God. It’s amazing how it works. I don’t mean that your entire family will necessarily come to the Lord overnight, but as you stand in faith, thanking God, they will come.

Confession: I can pray in faith for the lost, because I know God’s will in the matter!

Don’t Accept Sickness and Disease . . Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. — JAMES 4:7

When I was a teenager, the doctors said I wouldn’t live. But I proved them wrong! I had two serious organic heart troubles and an incurable blood disease. I was also paralyzed. The doctors said that my white corpuscles were eating up my red corpuscles faster than I could build them up and faster than anything could be done about it medically. They said, “We’ll be honest with you. If you didn’t have the heart condition, if you didn’t have the paralysis, the incurable blood disease alone would prove fatal to you.”

But it didn’t prove fatal to me. In sixty-eight years, I have not had one single headache. I’ve proved God’s Word works. The last headache I had was in August 1933. I’m not bragging on me. I’m bragging on what I learned from the Bible.

Someone might say, “What would you do if you had a headache?” Well, first, I wouldn’t tell it if I did. And second, I’d resist it.

Some years ago, I was leaving the parking lot at RHEMA, and, all of a sudden, a pain hit me in my head. My head started hurting. I spoke up and said, “Oh no, you don’t, devil! You don’t put any headache on me! I don’t have one! I’m not going to have it!” By the time I was heading down the road, it was all gone. You see, we make the mistake of ever accepting these things.

Confession: I resist the devil and he flees from me. I resist sickness and disease. I refuse to accept anything that the devil brings my way!

Resisting Fear
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. — 2 TIMOTHY 1:7

Today’s text calls fear a spirit, and it states definitely that the spirit of
fear does not come from God. Today’s faith thought is a confession you
can use to successfully resist fear when it attempts to come upon you.

Fear,
I resist you,
in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In His mighty Name,
I resist you.
I refuse to fear;
I refuse to be afraid.

It is written in His Holy Word
that He hath not given me
the spirit of fear;
But of power,
and of love,
and of a sound mind.

I no longer have the spirit of fear.
I have the spirit of love.
I have the spirit of power.
I have the spirit of a sound mind.

Accept God’s Word as Truth
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. — JOHN 17:17

God laid on Jesus the cause of our sicknesses, our pains, and our diseases, and Jesus bore them. Since God wanted Jesus to bear them, does He want you and me to bear them also? No! The reason Jesus bore our sicknesses and infirmities was so that we wouldn’t have to.

But, instead of accepting God’s Word just the way it reads and saying, “Yes! That’s what the Word says,” we are prone to say, “Yes, but. . . .” Well, I can’t find a “yes, but . . .” in that scripture anywhere. Why not just accept what it says?

A person said to me once, “But, Brother Hagin, that’s not the way I interpret that verse.”

I replied, “I’m not interpreting it. It plainly says, ‘Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses.’ I’m not interpreting it; I’m quoting it.”

The person said, “Yes, but I don’t interpret that to mean what you say it means.”

I said, “I didn’t say it means anything.”

I added, “What if I said to you, ‘My wife and I went to town yesterday, and she bought a new purse’? How would you interpret that? Would you think she bought an automobile? Or would you just plainly understand that we went to town and she bought a purse? Wouldn’t you just take me at my word?” Why not take God’s Word for what it says?

Confession: I believe that Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. I believe that because He bore them, I’m free. I accept what God’s Word says as truth, and because I accept it and believe it, I say it with my mouth.

Say What the Bible Says
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised.) — HEBREWS 10:23

When you know what the Word of God says, and someone asks, “How do you feel?” you can say, “I’m well, thank you.” Even if you are experiencing some symptoms, you’re not lying. You’re stating that you’re well because the Bible says that Jesus took your infirmities and bare your sicknesses. And what He bore, you need not bear.

You see, since Jesus bore your infirmities, you don’t have to have them anymore. But as long as you confess them—as long as you say, “I have them”—you will have them.

That’s the reason people go through the process of trying to get rid of sickness and disease over and over again. They are prayed for, they have hands laid on them, they are anointed with oil, but they keep holding on to what they have. They don’t turn the sickness loose.

If you will believe that Jesus took your infirmities and bare your sicknesses while the symptoms are still there—while all physical evidence says it isn’t so—it won’t be long before you’ll reap a harvest of healing.

Confession: I’m not moved by what I see or how I feel. I’m moved only by what I believe, and I believe that He, Jesus, took my infirmities and bare my sicknesses.

Maturing Fruit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love . . . . — GALATIANS 5:22

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit . . . . — JOHN 15:5

Love is the fruit of the recreated human spirit, produced because of the life of Christ within.

Picture a fruit tree. Where does the fruit grow? Fruit grows on the branches. Jesus used the illustration of the tree. Who are the branches? We are.

How does natural fruit grow on the branch? It receives nourishment from the trunk — the vine — of the tree. Life from the trunk flows out into the branches. It’s the same in the spiritual realm. God is life. God is love. His life and love flow out to the believers — the branches.

Fruit grows. It doesn’t come fully mature. The Bible says, “But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected . . .” (1 John 2:5). The word “perfected” means matured. John was talking about maturing in the fruit of love. (I don’t think any of us have completely matured in it yet, but some of us are making progress.)

Confession: The fruit of the spirit is love. Christ is the vine. I am the branch. I abide in Christ, and Christ abides in me. Therefore, I bring forth fruit. As I keep God’s Word, I mature in the fruit of love. I am making progress.

Get the Word in You
If ye abide in me [Jesus], and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. — JOHN 15:7

In twelve years of pastoral work, my wife and I did not bury even one church member. We even had eighty-year-old church members who were healed of cancer, lived out their lives, and died in their nineties without sickness or disease. We taught them that was the will of God for them.

Now many of those people didn’t receive their healing right away. They had to be taught how to receive. You see, God occasionally does initiate some things on His own. But I can only think of two people during those twelve years of pastoral work who were healed because God initiated their healing. We had to teach the majority of them and get the Word into them.

As their pastor, I would say to them, “You give me the same opportunity and the same chance that you give the doctor, and you’ll be healed every time. It won’t cost you a dime.” You see, folks go to the doctor, and if the doctor says, “Come back Thursday,” they’ll go back Thursday. Then if he says, “Come back Monday,” they’ll go back Monday. If he says, “Come back Wednesday,” they’ll go back Wednesday. If he says, “Come back Friday,” they’ll go back Friday.

Sometimes people keep going for months and don’t think a thing in the world about it. Yet when they come to church, they want to be healed the first time around. If I tell them to come back, they get mad about it. But it takes time to get the Word of God into a person—to get him in position to receive his healing.

Confession: God’s Word always works, and His Word abides in me. I put my faith in His Word, and I ask what I will, and it shall be done unto me.
