This man had been healed some nine months before from back pain which he had suffered for twenty-five years. "Hagin describes one incident in which he was visiting one of his church members. Twisting the Scriptures regarding Healing. A relapse is not the mark of the hand of God" (Ibid., pp. Had there been any relapsed healings during the ministry of the Lord Jesus, or even during that of one of the Old Testament prophets and had the Bible not given an account of it, the Bible would be charged with hiding the truth, for half truth is not truth at all.But there are no relapsed healings in the Word of God.
The Bible did not omit any aspect of truth that we ought to have known. "The Bible, the Word of God, is the Word of Truth. Yes, I could advertise my vision, fill up an auditorium, and get many people healed- but they wouldn't keep their healing." (Ibid., pg.

By the time I got there, I often found people who had been healed in those meetings already had lost their healing. "During the great healing revival, evangelists would hold short meetings, and I'd come along behind them with longer meetings. When the apostle Peter met the paralyzed man at the beautiful gate of the temple, he did not give him a lengthy pep talk to heighten his expectations of a miracle.Peter simply said: "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.' AND THE MAN WALKED" (Ibid., pp. This manner of speaking-'tell them.tell them.'-is designed to achieve this intimate conviction. It is this intimate conviction that is needed to obtain better results. Hypnotists differentiate between what they call intimate conviction, and good intention of their subject. Such techniques are essential to any hypnotic process. "This kind of talk-'Tell people that I appeared to you, that I spoke to you, that I laid the finger of my right hand in your palm'-is designed to increase, and to heighten the expectation of the sick person who will be more susceptible to the suggestion of Hagin. Tell the people that I told you to tell them that if they belief that-that is, you are anointed-and will receive that anointing, that power will flow from your hands into their bodies, and it will drive out their sickness or their disease, and it will affect a healing and a cure in them' ( The Toronto Blessing, Slaying in the Spirit-The Telling Wonder, Nader Mikhaeil, Southwood Press Pty Limited, Australia, pg. The anointing is not in your head-I did not tell you to lay your head on anybody. Tell them that I laid the finger of my right hand in the palm of each of your hands.' Then Jesus smiled and added, 'The anointing is not in your feet-I did not tell you to lay your feet on anybody. That is, you tell the people exactly what I told you.

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!" (NASB, emphasis added.) Gal 1:6-9 "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel which is really not another only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting." (NASB, emphasis added.)
