God established a covenant with the children of Israel as they were en route to the Promised Land after coming out of Egypt.

God warned them that if they refused to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments they would suffer many afflictions (Deuteronomy 28:15-68).

If they were obedient, however, God promised, "And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil" (Exod. 23:25,26).

People believe you must get sick to die, but God did not say so.

God said He would fulfill the number of their days. He did not say they were not going to die—but He said they would not have to die because of sickness or disease.

Healing belongs to us under the New Covenant (or New Testament) just as it belonged to Israel under the Old. New Testament believers are redeemed now from spiritual death.

We are redeemed from sickness and from poverty. And we have the promise that when Jesus comes again, physical death will be put under foot. To make it more personal: Healing belongs to you.

It belongs to you because sickness is of the enemy.

It belongs to you because you are a spiritual child of Abraham.

It belongs to you because sickness is a curse, and Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law.

Chapter 4

"DONT DIE LIKE THIS!"

After my wife and I arrived at a new pastorate in north-central Texas, the church pianist asked me to visit a woman everybody called "Grandma." Grandma was in a nearby hospital dying of stomach cancer. She was 82.

We were busy moving into the parsonage. Several days went by. That Wednesday, I had an impression to call Grandma's family, because I somehow knew they had taken her home. I didn't know why they would, because the family already had told me that they were going to keep her in the hospital until she died. I called, and her daughter confirmed that Grandma had talked the doctor into sending her home to die.

I went to visit Grandma. She was a woman who knew about divine healing. She had been healed years before, and the healing had brought her into the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

I began to talk to her about letting God heal her.

"Oh, Brother Hagin," she said, "I'm saved and filled with the Spirit, and I'm ready for heaven. Just let me alone and let me die."

I said, "I'm not going to do it. Grandma, it is not the will of God that you die this way; no one will ever make me believe that. It is not the will of God that you die with cancer and suffer this way. Let God heal you and then die if you want to—but don't die like this!"

Friends, you are not going to get somebody healed if you are believing they will live, and they are believing they will die.
