FAITH FOOD BY KENNETH HAGIN
BORN OF THE SPIRIT
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be
born again.
JOHN 3:6,7
BORN OF THE SPIRIT. The spirit of man is the part of man
which is born again. The Christian’s spirit has the life and
nature of God in it. The inward man is born of God’s Spirit and
has the Spirit of God in Him.
FILLED WITH THAT SPIRIT. The born-again Christian can be
filled with that same Spirit which he already has in him. And
when he is filled with that Spirit, there will be an overflowing of
that Spirit. He will speak with other tongues as the Holy Spirit
gives him utterance.
(Acts2:4).
LED BY THE SPIRIT. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God.” Even the born-again one who
has not been filled with the Spirit, has the Spirit of God abiding
in him —- and he can expect to be led and guided by the Holy
Spirit.
You are a child of God. You are born of the Spirit of God. The
Spirit of God leads you. Holy Spirit will rise big in you. He will
give illumination to your mind. Holy Spirit will give direction to
your spirit.

SPEAKING LIES IN HYPOCRISY; HAVING THEIR
CONSCIENCE SEARED WITH A HOT IRON. 1
TIMOTHY 4:2
Keep a tender conscience —- don’t violate it ___
because it is your conscience, the voice of your spirit,
that relates to your mind what the spirit of God is
saying to you down inside. If you don’t keep a tender
conscience, spiritual things will not be clear to you.
It is like drinking a hot liquid; coffee, soups, hot
chocolate. You start out with it just a bit over warm,
then the temperature of it over time gets increased.
Increased to the point that your throat gets seared and
the liquid can be very, very hot. Scalding hot!
The same thing can happen spiritually. Keep a tender
conscience. Stop the minute you miss it and your
conscience condemns you.
Say, “Lord forgive me. I missed it.”
Or if you need to, tell someone you have wronged, “I
did wrong. Please forgive me.”
Give it a try….it works! Blessings

JAMES 1:8-14
8) Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same
- - - yesterday, today, and forever. 9) So don’t
let anyone lead you astray with all sorts of novel
and exotic teachings. It is more beautiful to
feast on grace and be inwardly strengthened
than to be obsessed with dietary rules which in
themselves have no lasting benefit.
10) We feast on a sacrifice at our spiritual altar,
but those who serve as priest in the old system
of worship have no right to eat of it.
11) For the high priest carries the blood of
animals into the holiest chamber as a sacrifice
for sin, and then burns the bodies of the
animals outside the city.
12) And Jesus, our sin sacrifice, also suffered
death outside the city walls to make us holy by
his own blood.
13). So we must arise and join him outside the
religious “walls” and bear his disgrace.
14) For we have no city here on earth to be
our permanent home, but we seek the city that
is destined to come.

Confession: Lord Jesus, I want You to
have Your way in every area of my life, I
want You to have Your say-so in every
area of my life - in the books I read, in the
company I keep, in the amusements I
enjoy, in my companions in my marriage,
in my home, in my finances, and in the way
I spend my time.

For which cause we faint not; but though our
outward man perish, yet the inward man is
renewed day by day
2 Corinthians 4:16
The outward man is seen.
The inward man is that “hidden man.”
Paul is saying the inward man is unseen and
eternal.
Our earthly house (body) is decaying. When it
dies, is put into the grave, is dissolved, and
goes back to dust—that is not the end!
The inward man is eternal!
The hidden man of the heart is eternal.
The hidden man is a spirit man—-and he is
eternal.
You are a spirit —- and you are eternal!
Confession: I am an eternal spirit being. I look
not to the things which are seen. I look at the things which are not seen. For the things which
are seen are temporal, but the things which are
not seen are eternal.

BY FAITH WE UNDERSTAND: 1 Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
FAITH AT THE DAWN OF HISTORY:
:6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he
who comes to God must believe that HE is, and that HE is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.
:7 By FAITH Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet
seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving
of his household, by which he condemned the world and be
came heir of the righteousness which is according to FAITH.
a.Faithful Abraham
b.Faithful Sarah
c. The Heavenly Hope -not received promises here,
but they desire a heavenly country….God has prepared a
city for them.
d.Faith of the Patriarchs; Abraham, Issac, Jacob,
Joseph
e.Faithful Moses
f. By Faith They Overcame
THE RACE OF FAITH: 12:1 …run with endurance…

with sons;

PENTECOST SUNDAY
50 DAYS FROM DEATH/RESURRECTION OF
JESUS ON THE CROSS TO the DAY OF
PENTECOST IN THE UPPER ROOM
(Jesus died ; upper room = 50 days)
Pentecost means 50.
Pentecost is 50 days from Jesus death to ALL
in the Upper Room being filled with Holy Spirit.
And each spoke in other tongues as the Spirit
gave them utterance. Pentecost is celebrated on the seventh Sunday
after Resurrection Sunday /Easter (which is
also fifty (50) days after Resurrection
Sunday/Easter). Since its date depends on the
date of Resurrection Sunday/Easter,
Pentecost is a moveable feast, that is, the date
is not fixed. Resurrection Sunday/Easter + 49
days.
Pentecost Sunday also represents releasing of
Holy Spirit in power and demonstration. Acts
2:43 Then fear [awe, reverence] came upon
every soul, and many wonders and signs were
done through the apostles.
This would be a great time to gather with like-
minded Christians and allow Holy Spirit to be
invited into the group. Then wait and see what
He does, or what He wants done. He is never
dull or boring. He is always ready to release
what Father God wants done to those seeking
Him.

MARY (mother of Jesus) was an original pentecostal.
MARY, the mother of Jesus, was a powerful woman who
found great favor with God and was chosen to give birth to
the Long-awaited Messiah. Luke 1:26…
MARY was receptive to Word of God delivered by the
angel. MARY said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord!
Let it be to me according to your word.” LUKE 1:38
(maidservant = servant, slave). [sometimes God tells us to
do something and we ask “how”. Jeremiah 33:3 says, “call
out to me and I will show you great; mighty things] MARY had been watched by God. He knew her
submissive, faithful heart; she walked in holiness. MARY
found favor in the eyes of God.
MARY was with Jesus all through His ministry, at the
Cross, and with Him after His resurrection. She was also
present in the upper room (Act 1:14)on the day of
Pentecost, making her one of the original Pentecostals
who received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. ACTS 2:1-4
MARY, being Jesus’ mother endured sweet and hard times
during his ministry on this earth. What a great example
she left for anyone wanting to be obedient to God with a
submissive heart.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. . . And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name . . .
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
—-MARK 16:15,17,18
Let’s stop and analyze something here: Which of the sick
did Jesus say we were to lay hands on?
Jesus just said “the sick” —- period.
Then, if God were the author of sickness—-if God did
put sickness and disease on people —- if it were the
will of God for some to be sick —- this statement
would be confusing. Because in it, Jesus authorized
us to lay hands on ALL sick.
If God weren’t in the healing business, Jesus would
have had to say something like, “Lay your hands on
those that it is the will of God to heal, and they shall
recover.
But, no! God set the Church against sickness - period!
Confession: God is in the healing business. God is not in
the sickness business. God is in the delivering business.
God is not in the bondage business. I refuse to allow the
enemy to try to get me to accept sickness or bondage as
being from God. Satan is the author of sickness. God has
set me against sickness.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the ruler of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places. EPHESIANS 6:12 WE are called upon to bind unseen forces. We have
authority over the devil and evil spirits. But we do not
have authority over men or their wills.
Story by Hagin: He and a pastor friend were at a
conference in California. The man had diabetes, and
he had to check his urine every morning for sugar
content to see how much insulin he would need for his
daily injection.
Hagin told him, “You won’t register any sugar as long
as you’re with me.” He looked at me as if he didn’t
believe him, but in the almost two weeks he was with
me, he never registered any sugar, even though he ate
pies and cakes. He later told me he was home for
three days before he registered sugar again.
Why? I took authority over his sickness. I had control
over unseen forces, but I didn’t have control over his
will. As long as he was with me, and this unseen force
was in my presence, I could control it, I tried to
convince him he could do the same thing, but he
expected it to come back, and it did.
Confession: I have authority over all unseen forces in
my realm of domain. And I bind them and stop their
activity in Jesus’ Name
YOU HAVE AUTHORITY OVER UNSEEN FORCES!
