During the next twelve years, he pastored five Assemblies of God churches in Texas: in the cities of Tom Bean, Farmersville (twice), Talco, Greggton, and Van. In 1937, he became an Assemblies of God minister. In 1936, he founded his first non-denominational church. He preached his first sermon as the pastor of a small, community Baptist church in Roland, Texas. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith. The Bible scripture in Mark 11:22-24 defined his ministry and was his most frequently quoted verse:Īnd Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. On August 8, 1934, he says he was raised from his deathbed by a revelation of “faith in God’s Word” after reading Mark 11:22-23. He remained paralyzed after his conversion. During a dramatic conversion experience, he reported dying, due to the deformed heart, three times in 10 minutes, each time seeing the horrors of hell and then returning to life. He was not expected to live and at age 15 became paralyzed and bedridden. In April 1933 he converted to Christianity. According to Hagin’s testimony, he was born with a deformed heart and what was believed to be an incurable blood disease. Hagin was born in McKinney, Texas, the son of Lillie Viola Drake Hagin and Jess Hagin. Kenneth Erwin Hagin (Aug– September 19, 2003) was an American preacher.
