What if you believed that “by His stripes we are healed,” that physical healing is guaranteed for all believers, and so vaccinations are a sign of unbelief? As one of the giants of the prosperity gospel movement, Kenneth Hagin, put it:įriend, healing is one of the benefits of our redemption! According to the Word of God, Jesus not only died and rose again for our sins, but He died and rose again for our sicknesses and diseases too. God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears. Measles, a disease which used to kill up to 500 Americans a year, has been officially eradicated in the Western Hemisphere, thanks in large part to the vaccinations we receive as children. When was the last time you ran into someone with measles? com daily prayer dear heavenly father, i pray this prayer in the power of the holy spirit and in the name of jesus christ.
