Exceeding Faith Quotes
Chapter 12

either imprison us or set us free. Our confession is the result of our
believing, and our believing is the result of our right or wrong thinking.
Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

the Scriptures are true. If they don’t act like the Word is true, they are

which is based on what the Word says, not on what they see or feel. Kenneth E.
Hagin, Sr.
#1104 Healing belongs to

Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

blessing and satisfaction to your life. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

devil. You have to resist doubts and rebuke them. You have to get your mind on
the answer — on God’s Word. In order to receive answers to your prayers, you
must eradicate every image, suggestion, vision, dream, impression, feeling, and
all thoughts that do not contribute to your faith and that do not affirm that
you have what you have asked God for. The word “eradicate” means to uproot or
remove. Remember, Satan moves in the sense realm, in the natural realm, and he
uses the tool of suggestion. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

kind of faith that moves God! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

struggling when it comes to prayer and faith because they don’t actually

got any spiritual discernment or not. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

Hagin, Sr.

E. Hagin, Sr.
#1143 God’s Word says that
you have your answer if you based your petition on the Word and believed you

kind of faith that moves God! Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

by the Word, although God wants to stand by you, He can’t because the only way
God works is through His Word. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

the supernatural realm, too, because he is a spirit being as is God. You’ve got

devil. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

thinking faith thoughts and speaking faith words that leads the heart out of
defeat and into victory. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

ever dreamed possible. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1160 When the Word gains
entrance into your heart, into your spirit, faith will be there automatically.

your part. Faith will come unconsciously into your spirit as you feed upon and
accept His words. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

accomplish – He hasn’t changed His mind about it. One day you will have to give
an account of what you did with that calling. Obedience to God’s call will
bring blessing and satisfaction to your life. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1163 If God’s Word says
He hears and answers prayer, and if that Word doesn’t depart from before your

don’t see yourself with the things you desire, then God’s Word has departed
from before your eyes. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.
#1164 Step number four to
receiving answered prayer is to guard against every evil thought that comes
into your mind to try to make you doubt God’s Word. Thoughts are governed by
observation, association and teaching. So this step is closely associated. Kenneth
E. Hagin, Sr.

unlearn things before we can learn the right things. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

spoken, so shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not
his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the
deadness of Sarah's womb. He staggered not at the promise of God through

therefore, it was imputed to him for righteousness. Romans 4:17-22
