Enter Into Rest

Proverbs 3:5-7, "Trust in..the
Lord with all thine heart; and
lean not unto thine own under
standing. In all thy ways ack
nowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths. Be not wise in
thine own eyes: fear the Lord,
and depart from evil."

first, then we can understand the

5th verse better.
"For the
weapons of our warfare are not
carnal." (What we are fighting
with isn't in the flesh, not
carnal or fleshly.) "But mighty
through God to the pulling down
of strong holds."

Most of us practice that verse,

but I'm afraid most of us prac
tice it in reverse. We try to
trust the Lord with all our
understanding, and lean not unto
our heart. That isn't what He
said. Someone said, " Y e s , but
Brother Hagin, common sense
will tell you..." I know that, but
He told me right here not to
lean on my common sense.
"Yes, but I think..." That is
what He told me right here,
not to lean on what I think
or you think, or they think.

These weapons of our warfare

are mighty through God to the
pulling down of strongholds.
What are they? "Casting down
imaginations (the margin reads,
overthrowing reasonings), and
every high thing that exalteth
itself against the knowledge of
God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience
of Christ." This is very i m
portant. If we want to walk by
faith, we had better get what He
is saying here.

"Lean not unto thine own under

standing. In all thy ways ack
nowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths." I just wonder
if He will? Glory! "Be not
wise in thine own eyes." Don't
think you know it all. Another
translation reads, "Be not wise
in thine own conceit." I like
that translation. In other words,
what He is saying is, be not wise
with sense knowledge. Be not
wise with natural human think
ing, which leads us to repudi
ate the Word of God and act
independently of the Word.

A Spirit-filled doctor said to

me ..one time, " I give this scrip
ture to my patients more than
any other scripture
in the
BibleII Corinthians
10:5."
You see, the Word of God must
be superior to human know
ledge, to human reasoning, to
human thinking, whether that
human knowledge be ours or
someone elses. We need to know
this, that human knowledge is
always limited.

No man
has perfect human
knowledge, but the Word of God
is perfect. God's Word brings

consummate. This revelation

reveals to us that there is not
only the new birth available, but
there is physical healing for our
bodies. So this revelation is
His perfect revelation, and it
meets every crisis and need in
our lives.
If we trust this Word with all of
our hearts, then there comes a
quietness, a rest,
into our
spirits. Here is a verse of
scripture that every believer
should make his. Turn with me
to the book of Hebrews, and
underline these words. (If you
can't write in your Bible, throw
it away and get one that you can
write in.) Here in Hebrews 4:3,
"For we which have believed do
enter into rest."
I said, when we trust in this
Word (trusting the Lord
is
trusting His Word) with all of
our hearts, then there comes a
quietness, and a rest, into our
spirits. I think it is good to
notice what He did not say be
fore we talk any more about what
He did say. He did not say,
"We which have believed do
enter into a state of fretting."
He did not say, "For we which
have believed enter into a state
of worry and anxiety and grumb
ling and griping and fussing
and confusion and perplexity."

You can have this rest in your

won't, because you never get
anything from God by hope. It is
by faith.
If you will start believing, it will
work for you. Start acting on
God's Word. Start putting it into
practice. You can always put it
into practice for yourself, but
you can't always for the other
fellow because he has a will of
his own. You can't push some
thing off on the other fellow.
God Himself can't do that. But
if you can get them to believe
with you, you can get results.

Your daily lessons are the "high point"

of our day, and we are so greatly blessed
by them! I thank you and Sister Hagin
for agreeing with me on my last prayer
requests. We are seeing results in the
salvation of those for whom we asked your
prayers. Praise God! M.S.
I asked the Lord for another son and I
wanted an easy delivery and to only be in
the hospital three days. P r a i s e God, after
reading your Bible P r a y e r Study Course
I claimed it and I got exactly what I asked
for. I came home from the hospital feeling
great with an 8 pound 15 ounce baby boy.
Everyone was surprized except me. C . F .
I thought I should write you and tell you
how much your letters and teaching the
Word of God has done for me. For the
first time in five years I have been able
to do my house work, which would usually
put me into bed for 2 or 3 weeks. I could
never find words to tell you how much you
have helped me and taught me about the
Word of God. J.C.
I thank God for your tapes on faith for
it was through them that Jesus spoke to
me. P r a i s e God, He changed me. He
created in me a new person. I had many
horrible self sinful things wrong with me
but He cleansed me and gave me peace. J.R.
Thank you so much for mailing me the
Word of Faith. You are helping me so
much in a closer walk with my God. I
praise the Lord for men like you and
the book you mailed me, Authority of the
Believer. I wouldn't take anything for it.
I didn't know I had that authority until
I read and reread that book. I keep it
with my Bible and they go with me. E . R .
I can't tell you how much I appreciate
your ministry. When you w e r e in the area
for a Crusade, God performed a miracle
in my family. My husband was introduced
to Christ the Healer in one of your evening
services. It was hard for him to believe in
miracles until he saw them with his own
eyes. As a result our life here at home is
undergoing many changes. O . B .
Thank you for telling me about the good
news of the crusades this year. I am
fine, having been delivered by our Great
High Priest in Glory. Great and m a r
velous are His works. E . L .

My sister who had cancer is doing fine

and working. Nine of the best doctors in
Texas said she had cancer in her breasts
so bad that they could become open sores.
I asked you to pray and when they cut In
to perform the last test they found no
cancer. Her doctor said with tears in his
eyes, "I don't want any glory for this,
this has shook the whole town." I felt I
should write and thank you personally
for your prayers. F . N .
I have just got to let you know that God
has delivered me from the cigarette
habit. I had written to you and poured
out my heart to you that I needed help
and set free from this habit. The Lord
has set me free! I thank God that l e a n
write to you and you always send me an
answer back. It is good to lay down to
sleep at night and to know all is well
with my soul. F . N .
First of all I would like to tell you how
much God used the books Authority of
the Believer and What Faith Is in my
life to bring me closer to a victorious
Christian life instead of the defeated life
I was living. I praise God for the work
you are doing and how He is speaking
through Kenneth Hagin. B . A .
I have just finished reading your book
P r a y e r Secrets. I didn't get all the way
through before I received my healing
from a lung disease I have had for 18
yearsall my life. (I am 18 years old.)
I just praise God for my healing. J.J.
I wish to express my deep appreciation
for your notes and Bible verses that you
send in answer to my letters. I look f o r
w a r d to them more and more. I somehow
feel they are straight from God. Thank
God for people like you! W . E . F .
We as a group want you to share in our
joy that the "Word of God" is being
preached to the youth in our community
with resulting actions. Your ministry has
been the mainstay of our teaching. The
tapes, lessons and study courses are
being greedily absorbed by the youth.
I know you would enjoy the simplicity
of these young people accepting the "Word
of God." H.H.
I do appreciate the Word of Faith. Thank
God for you! I was left a widow six years
ago without a dime, I had never worked
outside the home, had asthma so bad I
couldn't make a bed, sweep or even walk
a half a block. God provided me with a
job, gave me back my health and most
of all He opened my understanding that
I might understand the scriptures. I have
now received the Holy Spirit. D . G .
When I first heard your program, I
couldn't believe my ears. I have started
to pray and believe it's so! It works! I
praise God that we can stand on His
W o r d . I thank God that He directed me
to your broadcast. C . M .
