| Mark Hankins; Trina Hankins - Healing And Faith | June 30, 2026
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.356
- Male announcer: the following program is sponsored by friends
- 00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.125
- Of life outreach international and the friends
- 00:00:02.258 --> 00:00:04.027
- And partners of tbn.
- 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:05.695
- Trina hankins: the doctor said, "it appears that you have an
- 00:00:07.130 --> 00:00:09.666
- Inoperable brain tumor."
- 00:00:09.666 --> 00:00:12.035
- And i always say it was like those words came like a
- 00:00:12.035 --> 00:00:15.939
- Fiery dart.
- 00:00:15.939 --> 00:00:17.607
- Mark hankins: and the neurosurgeon says it's
- 00:00:17.607 --> 00:00:20.777
- Inoperable because it's so deep in her brain, that we would only
- 00:00:20.777 --> 00:00:25.548
- Do some sort of experimental surgery which would leave her
- 00:00:25.548 --> 00:00:28.618
- Paralyzed for the rest of her life.
- 00:00:28.618 --> 00:00:30.787
- Announcer: how mark and trina hankins's radical faith carried
- 00:00:30.787 --> 00:00:33.556
- Them through, next.
- 00:00:33.556 --> 00:00:35.558
- [music]
- 00:00:35.558 --> 00:00:53.743
- Randy robison: welcome to life today.
- 00:00:45.568 --> 00:00:55.078
- I'm randy robison.
- 00:00:55.078 --> 00:00:56.446
- Blynda lane joins me, and i'm excited to have mark and trina
- 00:00:56.446 --> 00:00:58.715
- Hankins back on today.
- 00:00:58.715 --> 00:01:00.783
- Blynda lane: their first time with us was so impactful, we had
- 00:01:00.783 --> 00:01:04.387
- To have them back.
- 00:01:04.387 --> 00:01:05.755
- Randy: we could just--i could be here all week.
- 00:01:05.755 --> 00:01:07.157
- But i'm really excited because trina has a story that i want
- 00:01:07.157 --> 00:01:10.827
- People to hear.
- 00:01:10.827 --> 00:01:12.195
- And out of it she has this book, "god's healing word."
- 00:01:12.195 --> 00:01:15.999
- But this is a tough subject for a lot of people i know, and so i
- 00:01:15.999 --> 00:01:20.069
- Appreciate you being here, and we'll ask you some
- 00:01:20.069 --> 00:01:22.305
- Good questions.
- 00:01:22.305 --> 00:01:23.673
- But take us back to a time where healing was something that you
- 00:01:23.673 --> 00:01:29.145
- Really needed for yourself.
- 00:01:29.145 --> 00:01:30.847
- Trina: yes, as a child, i had asthma.
- 00:01:30.847 --> 00:01:33.750
- I was allergic to everything, and i had terrible asthma.
- 00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:37.554
- So, you know, it was nothing to try to struggle to breathe, you
- 00:01:37.554 --> 00:01:42.158
- Know, that kind of thing.
- 00:01:42.158 --> 00:01:43.860
- And also i was raised in a full gospel church.
- 00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:47.864
- We believed in divine healing.
- 00:01:47.864 --> 00:01:50.200
- And i always went out for prayer, and it seemed like,
- 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.204
- Where is my healing, you know.
- 00:01:54.204 --> 00:01:56.606
- And then the light turned on.
- 00:01:56.606 --> 00:01:59.943
- I always like to turn the light on.
- 00:01:59.943 --> 00:02:02.845
- Then somebody brought us some books, brother hagin's books,
- 00:02:02.845 --> 00:02:07.817
- On the authority of the believer and how to take the word
- 00:02:07.817 --> 00:02:12.488
- Like medicine.
- 00:02:12.488 --> 00:02:13.823
- I learned.
- 00:02:13.823 --> 00:02:15.158
- So it was like, "ah! there's hope," you know?
- 00:02:15.158 --> 00:02:19.128
- I'm not getting a miracle, but i can take the word like medicine.
- 00:02:19.128 --> 00:02:23.266
- And psalm 107:20 says, "he sent his word and it healed them."
- 00:02:23.266 --> 00:02:30.840
- So from that point, i was 17, and i began to find scriptures
- 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.944
- In the bible on healing, and i collected them in my notebook,
- 00:02:34.944 --> 00:02:38.948
- You know, and i began to go over them and go over them, sing
- 00:02:38.948 --> 00:02:42.752
- Songs about them.
- 00:02:42.752 --> 00:02:44.087
- Then i met mr. faith here, and he wasn't gonna put up
- 00:02:44.087 --> 00:02:49.125
- With sick.
- 00:02:49.125 --> 00:02:50.760
- Blynda: i love it, not putting up with sick.
- 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:52.495
- Mark: that's not your future, that's your past.
- 00:02:52.495 --> 00:02:54.831
- Trina: so i just continued on my journey, and along the way, you
- 00:02:54.831 --> 00:02:57.934
- Know, he talked about the authority of the believer, and
- 00:02:57.934 --> 00:03:01.004
- That's so important, you know.
- 00:03:01.004 --> 00:03:03.139
- One of the scriptures i meditated on was, "i give you
- 00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:07.710
- Power or authority in my name, i give you power."
- 00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:14.517
- So i realized, i have the authority.
- 00:03:14.517 --> 00:03:16.719
- And then of course, mark 11:23, that we can speak.
- 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.224
- So that's the authority that the believer has.
- 00:03:21.224 --> 00:03:23.726
- But there's another verse that really is key in that book, is
- 00:03:23.726 --> 00:03:28.298
- Proverbs 4:20-22.
- 00:03:28.298 --> 00:03:32.602
- "my son, attend to my words, incline thine ear to my saying.
- 00:03:32.602 --> 00:03:38.041
- Let them not depart from before thine eyes.
- 00:03:38.041 --> 00:03:41.277
- Keep them in the midst of thine heart, for they are life to
- 00:03:41.277 --> 00:03:45.415
- Those that find them, and health or medicine to all their flesh."
- 00:03:45.415 --> 00:03:50.453
- So i began to consume the word of god just like that.
- 00:03:50.453 --> 00:03:53.456
- That's a prescription that god gives us.
- 00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:57.694
- "attend, pay attention to the word of god.
- 00:03:57.694 --> 00:04:01.597
- Incline your ear to my saying."
- 00:04:01.597 --> 00:04:04.067
- How do you hear the word of god?
- 00:04:04.067 --> 00:04:05.935
- You say it, then you hear it.
- 00:04:05.935 --> 00:04:08.071
- It's good to hear others say it, but when you speak the word of
- 00:04:08.071 --> 00:04:11.374
- God into truth, you get more benefit, amen?
- 00:04:11.374 --> 00:04:14.977
- "incline your ear to my saying.
- 00:04:14.977 --> 00:04:16.713
- Let them not to depart from before your eyes.
- 00:04:16.713 --> 00:04:20.550
- Keep them in the midst of your heart."
- 00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:23.252
- So i found that as i looked at the word, i dug it out, found
- 00:04:23.252 --> 00:04:28.424
- That word, it was life to me.
- 00:04:28.424 --> 00:04:31.427
- And as i spoke the word, looked at that word, then my
- 00:04:31.427 --> 00:04:34.597
- Imagination--there's something about not only hearing it, but
- 00:04:34.597 --> 00:04:38.835
- Looking at the word of god, it's so full of life, right?
- 00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:42.338
- It's full of power.
- 00:04:42.338 --> 00:04:43.940
- It changes things.
- 00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:45.308
- It came off the page.
- 00:04:45.308 --> 00:04:46.909
- I would meditate, it was like it was alive.
- 00:04:46.909 --> 00:04:49.278
- It started coming into my eyes.
- 00:04:49.278 --> 00:04:51.647
- And faith came.
- 00:04:51.647 --> 00:04:53.549
- Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god.
- 00:04:53.549 --> 00:04:57.353
- So what i felt was that the word of god was growing in volume
- 00:04:57.353 --> 00:05:04.093
- Inside of me, and that the sound and the loudness of sickness and
- 00:05:04.093 --> 00:05:10.366
- Defeat and impossible, you know, was being diminished.
- 00:05:10.366 --> 00:05:16.406
- And there came a day, while mark was out of town, he was
- 00:05:16.406 --> 00:05:20.343
- Preaching somewhere, and i was home with the kids, and i'd been
- 00:05:20.343 --> 00:05:23.646
- Meditating on the word, and i woke up with an asthma attack.
- 00:05:23.646 --> 00:05:29.719
- Ugh, i was so mad, you know?
- 00:05:29.719 --> 00:05:33.823
- Something happens when you get mad.
- 00:05:33.823 --> 00:05:36.793
- And that night i got really angry.
- 00:05:36.793 --> 00:05:38.528
- I thought, "agh!"
- 00:05:38.528 --> 00:05:39.929
- And it was like the holy spirit--not every sickness is a
- 00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:43.132
- Spirit of infirmity, no.
- 00:05:43.132 --> 00:05:45.601
- But the holy spirit said, "that is a spirit of infirmity.
- 00:05:45.601 --> 00:05:49.739
- Use your authority."
- 00:05:49.739 --> 00:05:51.841
- So i did.
- 00:05:51.841 --> 00:05:53.209
- You know, in 1 peter 5, it says, "resist the devil and he will
- 00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:57.547
- Flee from you."
- 00:05:57.547 --> 00:05:58.915
- Blynda: in the book you call it "faith having an attitude."
- 00:05:58.915 --> 00:06:01.451
- Yeah, i like it.
- 00:06:01.451 --> 00:06:02.785
- Trina: yeah, well, you stand up.
- 00:06:02.785 --> 00:06:04.153
- Instead of being afraid, you stand up in who you are
- 00:06:04.153 --> 00:06:06.856
- In christ.
- 00:06:06.856 --> 00:06:08.191
- You've got the armor of god on, got the word of god in
- 00:06:08.191 --> 00:06:09.959
- Your mouth.
- 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:11.327
- It's not just something somebody else says, but you got it, you
- 00:06:11.327 --> 00:06:13.729
- Know it.
- 00:06:13.729 --> 00:06:15.064
- You become one with the word, the word's within you.
- 00:06:15.064 --> 00:06:17.366
- So i said it, and i said, "you spirit of infirmity, get out
- 00:06:17.366 --> 00:06:21.103
- Of here.
- 00:06:21.103 --> 00:06:22.472
- Get off of my body, asthma.
- 00:06:22.472 --> 00:06:24.373
- You will not control my life, in jesus's name."
- 00:06:24.373 --> 00:06:27.443
- I began to quote the scriptures.
- 00:06:27.443 --> 00:06:29.645
- You know, it's not the scriptures somebody else said,
- 00:06:29.645 --> 00:06:32.081
- But that jesus said, "it is written."
- 00:06:32.081 --> 00:06:34.450
- And then he said, "it is said," you know, and the devil left.
- 00:06:34.450 --> 00:06:37.854
- So i said.
- 00:06:37.854 --> 00:06:39.188
- And that really was the beginning of my foundation
- 00:06:39.188 --> 00:06:42.391
- On healing.
- 00:06:42.391 --> 00:06:43.726
- So those scriptures were already in my heart.
- 00:06:43.726 --> 00:06:46.696
- I cannot emphasize the benefit of feeding on the word of god so
- 00:06:46.696 --> 00:06:52.468
- That when the enemy comes, you're ready.
- 00:06:52.468 --> 00:06:55.872
- You've got your armor on.
- 00:06:55.872 --> 00:06:57.707
- And that night, i was in church.
- 00:06:57.707 --> 00:07:00.576
- Mark and i pastored at church, and we had sunday night church.
- 00:07:00.576 --> 00:07:04.046
- And i'd been having a tremendous headache that night in church.
- 00:07:04.046 --> 00:07:07.750
- I had to leave the service, it was so painful.
- 00:07:07.750 --> 00:07:11.521
- And when i went out, i had a seizure, and i was back
- 00:07:11.521 --> 00:07:15.525
- There alone.
- 00:07:15.525 --> 00:07:17.159
- Somebody came and found me, and i ended up in the hospital.
- 00:07:17.159 --> 00:07:21.197
- The next thing i remember, and you'll fill in the other gap,
- 00:07:21.197 --> 00:07:25.334
- Was that i started coming awake.
- 00:07:25.334 --> 00:07:29.939
- Before i opened my eyes, it was like a fountain of living water,
- 00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:36.746
- The word flowing out of my spirit.
- 00:07:36.746 --> 00:07:39.215
- "himself took your infirmities, bore your sickness, with his
- 00:07:39.215 --> 00:07:41.684
- Stripes you are healed.
- 00:07:41.684 --> 00:07:43.686
- The strong spirit of a man will sustain your infirmity," and
- 00:07:43.686 --> 00:07:46.422
- That was just like flowing.
- 00:07:46.422 --> 00:07:48.824
- Randy: all those scriptures you put in there.
- 00:07:48.824 --> 00:07:52.028
- Trina: yes!
- 00:07:52.028 --> 00:07:53.362
- So when you plant a crop of the word in, it'll be there,
- 00:07:53.362 --> 00:07:55.298
- It'll grow, and be there when you can't.
- 00:07:55.298 --> 00:07:56.966
- Blynda: the crisis is too late.
- 00:07:56.966 --> 00:07:59.001
- If you haven't done it beforehand, the crisis, when the
- 00:07:59.001 --> 00:08:01.270
- Crisis comes, is too late.
- 00:08:01.270 --> 00:08:02.939
- You need to have it--you did that.
- 00:08:02.939 --> 00:08:04.674
- You already had it in you.
- 00:08:04.674 --> 00:08:06.175
- So you're in the hospital, and what happened then?
- 00:08:06.175 --> 00:08:08.744
- Trina: i opened my eyes and there was a doctor at the end of
- 00:08:08.744 --> 00:08:13.349
- The bed, you know, with that clipboard, looking
- 00:08:13.349 --> 00:08:16.252
- Real official.
- 00:08:16.252 --> 00:08:17.853
- And he said, and mark was there at the end of the bed, and he
- 00:08:17.853 --> 00:08:20.790
- Said, the doctor said, "it appears that you have an
- 00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:23.693
- Inoperable brain tumor."
- 00:08:23.693 --> 00:08:26.095
- And i always say it was like those words came like a
- 00:08:26.095 --> 00:08:30.066
- Fiery dart.
- 00:08:30.066 --> 00:08:33.069
- But i had my shield up.
- 00:08:33.069 --> 00:08:34.770
- Thank god, the sword of the lord and the shield of faith, it was
- 00:08:34.770 --> 00:08:37.940
- There, and it just--it didn't hit me.
- 00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:40.376
- It didn't penetrate my consciousness.
- 00:08:40.376 --> 00:08:42.778
- I did not receive that report.
- 00:08:42.778 --> 00:08:45.681
- Then mark was in the room.
- 00:08:45.681 --> 00:08:49.118
- Mark: yeah, so the doctor, a neurosurgeon says, "your wife
- 00:08:49.118 --> 00:08:52.455
- Has a brain tumor.
- 00:08:52.455 --> 00:08:53.956
- It's inoperable, because it's so deep in her brain that we would
- 00:08:53.956 --> 00:08:58.761
- Only do some sort of experimental surgery which would
- 00:08:58.761 --> 00:09:01.731
- Leave her paralyzed for the rest of her life."
- 00:09:01.731 --> 00:09:04.166
- Basically what happened is, thank god for the doctor, he's
- 00:09:04.166 --> 00:09:07.436
- Doing the best he can, but i told him, i said, "you know, we
- 00:09:07.436 --> 00:09:09.972
- Have another doctor working on the case.
- 00:09:09.972 --> 00:09:12.608
- We call him the great physician, jesus christ."
- 00:09:12.608 --> 00:09:15.645
- And so, i just did, i went in the hospital, she was there, and
- 00:09:15.645 --> 00:09:19.482
- I stood at the end of the bed and i said,
- 00:09:19.482 --> 00:09:23.753
- "mr. tumor, i would like to talk to you.
- 00:09:23.753 --> 00:09:25.921
- Jesus christ said, 'whosoever shall say to this mountain.'
- 00:09:25.921 --> 00:09:30.526
- Mr. tumor, i'm talking to you.
- 00:09:30.526 --> 00:09:32.828
- I'm not talking about you, i'm talking to you.
- 00:09:32.828 --> 00:09:36.098
- You must be removed, cast into the sea, which means you're not
- 00:09:36.098 --> 00:09:42.171
- Coming back.
- 00:09:42.171 --> 00:09:44.040
- It also means there'll be no evidence you were ever there.
- 00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:48.110
- I command you to leave her brain and never come back, in the name
- 00:09:48.110 --> 00:09:52.581
- Of jesus."
- 00:09:52.581 --> 00:09:54.884
- Whoo, i didn't have no choir, i didn't have no feeling.
- 00:09:54.884 --> 00:09:58.154
- I was just standing there in front of a tumor, you know, and
- 00:09:58.154 --> 00:10:02.825
- Everybody's staring at you like, "what are you gonna do
- 00:10:02.825 --> 00:10:04.994
- Now, preacher?"
- 00:10:04.994 --> 00:10:06.328
- And i said, "well, i'm just gonna act like the
- 00:10:06.328 --> 00:10:09.065
- Bible's true."
- 00:10:09.065 --> 00:10:11.167
- Simplest definition of faith.
- 00:10:11.167 --> 00:10:13.402
- So i just said no great feelings.
- 00:10:13.402 --> 00:10:15.137
- And we had eight days in the hospital, and i only let certain
- 00:10:15.137 --> 00:10:18.974
- People in the room.
- 00:10:18.974 --> 00:10:20.609
- We had eight days of praise, speaking the word in praise.
- 00:10:20.609 --> 00:10:24.447
- Trina: because after you speak the word of faith, that's our
- 00:10:24.447 --> 00:10:27.416
- Part, and then the rest is god's part.
- 00:10:27.416 --> 00:10:30.686
- But our part is to stay in position.
- 00:10:30.686 --> 00:10:32.722
- So this is a good position to stay in.
- 00:10:32.722 --> 00:10:35.257
- Praise god, praise and sing.
- 00:10:35.257 --> 00:10:38.094
- And mark put this larger lady outside the door of my room.
- 00:10:38.094 --> 00:10:43.065
- Mark: with a list of who could get in.
- 00:10:43.065 --> 00:10:45.067
- Trina: she had a list of people who could come in.
- 00:10:45.067 --> 00:10:47.236
- If you were not on that list, uh-uh, you can't get in
- 00:10:47.236 --> 00:10:49.071
- That room.
- 00:10:49.071 --> 00:10:50.706
- Blynda: only those coming in.
- 00:10:50.706 --> 00:10:52.208
- Trina: yes, you need an atmosphere of faith, and protect
- 00:10:52.208 --> 00:10:55.911
- Your--because at that time your emotions can be up and down.
- 00:10:55.911 --> 00:11:00.049
- So it's really important to have words of faith and people of
- 00:11:00.049 --> 00:11:03.419
- Faith around you.
- 00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:04.787
- Mark: or you could say god is not really gonna resist the
- 00:11:04.787 --> 00:11:08.090
- Devil for you.
- 00:11:08.090 --> 00:11:09.859
- In other words, you say jesus already did everything he's
- 00:11:09.859 --> 00:11:12.194
- Gonna do about it.
- 00:11:12.194 --> 00:11:13.529
- Now, he said, "you have the authority."
- 00:11:13.529 --> 00:11:15.498
- So he said to me, "the authority of the believer is not just
- 00:11:15.498 --> 00:11:18.467
- Available, it is necessary."
- 00:11:18.467 --> 00:11:21.871
- In other words, it's not just some little thing
- 00:11:21.871 --> 00:11:24.874
- That's interesting.
- 00:11:24.874 --> 00:11:26.208
- It's necessary that you and i have to resist the devil, and he
- 00:11:26.208 --> 00:11:30.579
- Will flee from you.
- 00:11:30.579 --> 00:11:32.581
- And so i said, "well, this is where i take my place," and dad
- 00:11:32.581 --> 00:11:37.686
- Hagin would say, "the door of the supernatural opens by
- 00:11:37.686 --> 00:11:40.689
- Believing and speaking."
- 00:11:40.689 --> 00:11:42.458
- So i realized, i really don't have to move the tumor.
- 00:11:42.458 --> 00:11:45.795
- My faith is in god.
- 00:11:45.795 --> 00:11:47.630
- All i have to do is believe and speak and say, "mr.
- 00:11:47.630 --> 00:11:50.833
- Tumor, i'd like to introduce you to god."
- 00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:53.903
- God has more experience to get rid of tumors than i do, so no
- 00:11:53.903 --> 00:11:57.907
- Pressure on me.
- 00:11:57.907 --> 00:12:00.009
- Let's just give god praise.
- 00:12:00.009 --> 00:12:01.710
- He is faithful.
- 00:12:01.710 --> 00:12:03.045
- So we spent eight days, and then the doctor said, "well, we want
- 00:12:03.045 --> 00:12:06.582
- To do surgery to determine what kind of tumor it is."
- 00:12:06.582 --> 00:12:10.653
- And i said, "well, if that's what you wanna do."
- 00:12:10.653 --> 00:12:13.756
- So he put the gizmo on her head.
- 00:12:13.756 --> 00:12:15.925
- Trina: yeah, they prepped me up for this brain operation.
- 00:12:15.925 --> 00:12:19.728
- That's interesting.
- 00:12:19.728 --> 00:12:21.297
- So i got, yeah, a gizmo on my head, and i'm on this gurney
- 00:12:21.297 --> 00:12:24.900
- Going down the hallway into surgery on my brain.
- 00:12:24.900 --> 00:12:29.438
- But guess what?
- 00:12:29.438 --> 00:12:30.773
- Psalm 107:20 happened again.
- 00:12:30.773 --> 00:12:33.843
- Always look for psalm 107:20, "he sent his word."
- 00:12:33.843 --> 00:12:39.081
- Every moment that we need help, i'd say, "okay, lord, what do
- 00:12:39.081 --> 00:12:41.951
- You say?
- 00:12:41.951 --> 00:12:43.319
- What do you say?"
- 00:12:43.319 --> 00:12:44.653
- Because when you hear what he says and then you put it in your
- 00:12:44.653 --> 00:12:46.522
- Mouth, it comes alive, and that's your sword of the spirit.
- 00:12:46.522 --> 00:12:50.092
- Well, he sent romans 8:11.
- 00:12:50.092 --> 00:12:52.661
- Mark: he gave you romans 8:11.
- 00:12:52.661 --> 00:12:54.129
- Trina: yes, he sent that to me, and i knew that.
- 00:12:54.129 --> 00:12:56.298
- It was in my heart, that if the same spirit that raised christ
- 00:12:56.298 --> 00:13:00.236
- From the dead dwell in you, he will quicken your mortal body by
- 00:13:00.236 --> 00:13:05.174
- That same spirit.
- 00:13:05.174 --> 00:13:07.243
- And so i started laughing, you know.
- 00:13:07.243 --> 00:13:10.346
- Mark: so we're going to surgery, and we're laughing.
- 00:13:10.346 --> 00:13:13.482
- Blynda: and she's laughing, wow.
- 00:13:13.482 --> 00:13:15.417
- Trina: because david said, "i will rejoice over your word like
- 00:13:15.417 --> 00:13:17.920
- I've found the spoils."
- 00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:19.955
- So i got happy.
- 00:13:19.955 --> 00:13:21.490
- I said, "oh, good, good."
- 00:13:21.490 --> 00:13:22.825
- I could just imagine in my mind the spirit that lifted jesus out
- 00:13:22.825 --> 00:13:27.429
- Of the grave and raised him up, and he was perfectly fine.
- 00:13:27.429 --> 00:13:33.435
- I saw that working in me.
- 00:13:33.435 --> 00:13:35.137
- That spirit's working in me.
- 00:13:35.137 --> 00:13:36.972
- So to activate that, i didn't just cry.
- 00:13:36.972 --> 00:13:40.409
- I didn't just "ugh," you know.
- 00:13:40.409 --> 00:13:41.877
- No, i'm grabbing that word and i'm laughing with it.
- 00:13:41.877 --> 00:13:44.947
- And i got victory right here.
- 00:13:44.947 --> 00:13:47.283
- That's all i remembered.
- 00:13:47.283 --> 00:13:48.617
- Mark: well, you know, our faith man, smith wigglesworth, he
- 00:13:48.617 --> 00:13:52.454
- Said, "faith laughs at impossibilities."
- 00:13:52.454 --> 00:13:55.324
- And so, what you did is you took that word, "the same spirit
- 00:13:55.324 --> 00:13:59.194
- Lives in me," not just in heaven somewhere, he lives in me, "and
- 00:13:59.194 --> 00:14:02.998
- He will give life to my body."
- 00:14:02.998 --> 00:14:05.668
- And so you went into surgery laughing.
- 00:14:05.668 --> 00:14:07.569
- Trina: so our part is to believe the bible, and his part is to
- 00:14:07.569 --> 00:14:10.739
- Perform miracles, do the impossible.
- 00:14:10.739 --> 00:14:13.676
- You know, i can't explain everything, but i can
- 00:14:13.676 --> 00:14:16.045
- Believe god.
- 00:14:16.045 --> 00:14:17.379
- I can believe his word.
- 00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:18.814
- So i came out--i was in that surgery--
- 00:14:18.814 --> 00:14:20.416
- Mark: you were in surgery, so you have nothing else to say
- 00:14:20.416 --> 00:14:22.551
- Right now.
- 00:14:22.551 --> 00:14:23.919
- You were in surgery for six hours, and we're in the room and
- 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:30.025
- Speaking and praising.
- 00:14:30.025 --> 00:14:31.393
- So after six hours, the neurosurgeon comes out and he
- 00:14:31.393 --> 00:14:34.263
- Says, "pastor, i don't know what to tell you."
- 00:14:34.263 --> 00:14:36.231
- He said, "the tumor that was on every test, it has disappeared.
- 00:14:36.231 --> 00:14:41.270
- We cannot find it in her brain at all."
- 00:14:41.270 --> 00:14:44.673
- And i just laughed, i said, "i told you we have another doctor
- 00:14:44.673 --> 00:14:47.576
- Working on the case."
- 00:14:47.576 --> 00:14:48.944
- And so, it was like a miracle.
- 00:14:48.944 --> 00:14:51.647
- The tumor disappeared.
- 00:14:51.647 --> 00:14:54.149
- But we still had--because he went in her brain, so we still
- 00:14:54.149 --> 00:14:58.320
- Had another year of challenges, of her feelings and stuff.
- 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.158
- Trina: yeah, i was paralyzed on this side of my body, because of
- 00:15:03.158 --> 00:15:06.028
- The surgery.
- 00:15:06.028 --> 00:15:07.363
- And then--but we went home and stayed in the word, and the lord
- 00:15:07.363 --> 00:15:14.103
- Sent me another word.
- 00:15:14.103 --> 00:15:15.704
- He said, "now, mark 5 and verse 34."
- 00:15:15.704 --> 00:15:21.477
- This is the story about the woman who heard that people
- 00:15:21.477 --> 00:15:25.347
- Could touch jesus's clothes and they would be well.
- 00:15:25.347 --> 00:15:28.417
- And she said, "i'm gonna touch jesus's clothes.
- 00:15:28.417 --> 00:15:30.819
- I'm gonna get well."
- 00:15:30.819 --> 00:15:32.254
- And her faith and her confession, she said it--
- 00:15:32.254 --> 00:15:37.192
- Mark: "daughter, your faith has made you whole."
- 00:15:37.192 --> 00:15:42.264
- Then, what's the rest of it?
- 00:15:42.264 --> 00:15:44.166
- Trina: so she did it--
- 00:15:44.166 --> 00:15:45.501
- Mark: "go in peace."
- 00:15:45.501 --> 00:15:46.869
- Trina: and so, yeah, the lord told me, this scripture, "go
- 00:15:46.869 --> 00:15:50.672
- Into peace.
- 00:15:50.672 --> 00:15:52.007
- Your faith has made you whole.
- 00:15:52.007 --> 00:15:54.309
- "go into peace," the amplified says, "and be made
- 00:15:54.309 --> 00:15:58.213
- Completely whole."
- 00:15:58.213 --> 00:15:59.715
- So in that time, i just got scriptures on peace.
- 00:15:59.715 --> 00:16:04.186
- I did it.
- 00:16:04.186 --> 00:16:05.554
- And philippians 4 verse 6 says, "don't have anxiety about
- 00:16:05.554 --> 00:16:10.826
- Anything, pray about everything, and the peace of god that passes
- 00:16:10.826 --> 00:16:14.997
- Under--guard your heart."
- 00:16:14.997 --> 00:16:16.832
- The amplified says, "it will mount a garrison over your
- 00:16:16.832 --> 00:16:19.935
- Heart," and in that, i believe it's really a part of receiving
- 00:16:19.935 --> 00:16:25.107
- From god.
- 00:16:25.107 --> 00:16:26.475
- Enter into peace, because god's working, and don't get all
- 00:16:26.475 --> 00:16:30.279
- Anxious and upset, but just continually praise the lord.
- 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.049
- And i'm whole, i'm well.
- 00:16:34.049 --> 00:16:37.186
- I have no reoccurrences or anything.
- 00:16:37.186 --> 00:16:40.122
- I'm so thankful, and give god the glory.
- 00:16:40.122 --> 00:16:43.826
- Mark: so what we saw in mark 5:34, dad hagin said when he
- 00:16:43.826 --> 00:16:48.797
- Was healed of seven incurable diseases, he said the preachers
- 00:16:48.797 --> 00:16:53.068
- Would say, "miracles are done away with, healing is done away
- 00:16:53.068 --> 00:16:55.404
- With," and he said the lord said to him, "have you ever heard any
- 00:16:55.404 --> 00:16:58.340
- Preacher say faith has been done away with?"
- 00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:00.909
- He said, "no."
- 00:17:00.909 --> 00:17:02.244
- And he said, "you never will, because if faith has been done
- 00:17:02.244 --> 00:17:04.146
- Away with, nobody can be saved."
- 00:17:04.146 --> 00:17:06.115
- So he said, "if her faith made her whole, your faith will make
- 00:17:06.115 --> 00:17:10.652
- You whole."
- 00:17:10.652 --> 00:17:12.020
- And so her faith, and you can see the progression of her
- 00:17:12.020 --> 00:17:15.357
- Faith, speaking and acting and receiving and telling.
- 00:17:15.357 --> 00:17:20.929
- And jesus said, "daughter, your faith has made you whole."
- 00:17:20.929 --> 00:17:25.801
- So the lord said to us, "the same faith that made you whole
- 00:17:25.801 --> 00:17:30.105
- Will keep you whole, the same steps of faith."
- 00:17:30.105 --> 00:17:34.243
- So we spent another serious year of going over those healing
- 00:17:34.243 --> 00:17:39.414
- Scriptures for perfect soundness from the top of your head to the
- 00:17:39.414 --> 00:17:44.386
- Soles of your feet.
- 00:17:44.386 --> 00:17:45.721
- And when we would get together, we would just go over the word,
- 00:17:45.721 --> 00:17:48.323
- The scriptures, over the word.
- 00:17:48.323 --> 00:17:50.325
- That's the source of our faith.
- 00:17:50.325 --> 00:17:52.027
- And then we would just speak the word and agree with the word.
- 00:17:52.027 --> 00:17:55.230
- Randy: sounds like you had to march around jericho quite a few
- 00:17:55.230 --> 00:17:57.432
- Times before those walls all the way fell, and i think that's
- 00:17:57.432 --> 00:17:59.868
- Where a lot of people stumble.
- 00:17:59.868 --> 00:18:02.037
- Trina: you're right, you're right.
- 00:18:02.037 --> 00:18:03.372
- Mark: yeah, and when he said, "hold fast your confession of
- 00:18:03.372 --> 00:18:05.407
- Faith," it's like, there's a reason for your persistence,
- 00:18:05.407 --> 00:18:09.778
- Because everything don't change by friday.
- 00:18:09.778 --> 00:18:11.980
- Randy: holding fast takes effort.
- 00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:14.383
- Blynda: or even when you talked about it being medicine.
- 00:18:14.383 --> 00:18:16.285
- You have to take medicine ongoing.
- 00:18:16.285 --> 00:18:18.420
- Mark: three times a day.
- 00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:19.922
- If it says to take it internally, you can't rub it on
- 00:18:19.922 --> 00:18:22.558
- Your head.
- 00:18:22.558 --> 00:18:23.892
- In other words, you gotta take it, put it in your mouth.
- 00:18:23.892 --> 00:18:26.862
- Randy: all right, all right.
- 00:18:26.862 --> 00:18:28.463
- I feel like we're kind of just scratching the surface here a
- 00:18:28.463 --> 00:18:30.465
- Little bit, so i would point people to the book, "god's
- 00:18:30.465 --> 00:18:33.602
- Healing word" by trina hankins.
- 00:18:33.602 --> 00:18:35.337
- And i will say this, i would love to send that book to you
- 00:18:35.337 --> 00:18:38.073
- Today, if you would help us.
- 00:18:38.073 --> 00:18:41.710
- I believe that giving water to people who need it is a form of
- 00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:46.915
- Healing, it's a form of medicine, because if you've got
- 00:18:46.915 --> 00:18:49.351
- Tainted water, you just get sick.
- 00:18:49.351 --> 00:18:52.721
- And so, our effort to fight sickness is through water for
- 00:18:52.721 --> 00:18:56.058
- Life, and we're gonna invite you into that.
- 00:18:56.058 --> 00:18:58.660
- So if you'll take a look at this, i really hope you'll say,
- 00:18:58.660 --> 00:19:01.263
- "you know what?
- 00:19:01.263 --> 00:19:02.631
- I wanna receive healing from god in every way i can," because i
- 00:19:02.631 --> 00:19:05.500
- Always ask for it when i'm sick, "but i wanna give healing."
- 00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:09.037
- And when it's in your power to do some good, don't hold back.
- 00:19:09.037 --> 00:19:13.475
- Watch this and you'll see how.
- 00:19:13.475 --> 00:19:17.246
- Randy: how many children do you have?
- 00:19:21.116 --> 00:19:24.253
- Female: i have five children, but one of them is dead,
- 00:19:27.022 --> 00:19:32.327
- So i remain with four.
- 00:19:32.327 --> 00:19:36.331
- Randy: i'm so sorry.
- 00:19:36.331 --> 00:19:40.269
- [speaking foreign language]
- 00:19:40.269 --> 00:19:48.810
- Randy: i don't understand all of the things that happen
- 00:19:52.981 --> 00:19:56.351
- Physiologically, but the mother recognizes the same signs in her
- 00:19:56.351 --> 00:20:02.624
- Nine-month-old that she saw in her year-and-a-half-old son
- 00:20:02.624 --> 00:20:07.129
- Before he died.
- 00:20:07.129 --> 00:20:08.964
- This is the urgency that we're facing right now.
- 00:20:08.964 --> 00:20:11.633
- This is the reality in places just like this.
- 00:20:11.633 --> 00:20:15.304
- They need clean water, and they need it now.
- 00:20:15.304 --> 00:20:18.273
- If someone was able to bring clean water to your village,
- 00:20:21.443 --> 00:20:28.350
- What would you say to that person?
- 00:20:28.350 --> 00:20:33.121
- Randy: if this little one has any hope for a future, we have
- 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.363
- To provide an alternative, because drinking this water
- 00:20:41.363 --> 00:20:44.466
- Is death.
- 00:20:44.466 --> 00:20:46.668
- We want to give mothers like this hope for their children.
- 00:20:46.668 --> 00:20:51.139
- I'm asking you to reach out and give the best gift you can.
- 00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:56.545

- Will be helping little ones just like this.

- [music]
- 00:21:03.218 --> 00:21:05.921
- Randy: if we all do what we can, amazing things will happen.
- 00:21:05.921 --> 00:21:10.158
- We will give hope, we will give life, as we give water for life.
- 00:21:10.158 --> 00:21:17.165
- Announcer: every day, far too many lives are lost to
- 00:21:17.165 --> 00:21:19.935
- Waterborne disease, and tragically, children under the

- Age of five are the most vulnerable.
- 00:21:22.904 --> 00:21:25.107

- Thank you for your gift in the books that you've given us and

- 00:23:34.035 --> 00:23:36.771
- [music]
- 00:23:39.207 --> 00:23:44.846
- Jennifer rothschild: i was watching the news recently with
- 00:23:44.846 --> 00:23:47.349
- My husband, and i don't remember what the show was about, but i
- 00:23:47.349 --> 00:23:52.153
- Remember something that this news anchor said, because it
- 00:23:52.153 --> 00:23:54.789
- Really caught my attention.
- 00:23:54.789 --> 00:23:56.758
- He had been discussing some new drug or treatment or medication
- 00:23:56.758 --> 00:24:01.596
- That helped with, you know, just extending life, and he was just
- 00:24:01.596 --> 00:24:05.834
- Talking about it.
- 00:24:05.834 --> 00:24:07.168
- And then he said this statement.
- 00:24:07.168 --> 00:24:08.970
- He said, "well, i don't really care.
- 00:24:08.970 --> 00:24:11.072
- I'm not that into longevity."
- 00:24:11.072 --> 00:24:13.375
- And i just thought, that is such an unusual statement.
- 00:24:13.375 --> 00:24:16.912
- I mean, let's be honest, most of us are really into longevity.
- 00:24:16.912 --> 00:24:21.983
- We wanna live this life that god's given us, and we care
- 00:24:21.983 --> 00:24:24.386
- About filling every day with purpose and living to the
- 00:24:24.386 --> 00:24:27.556
- Fullest, but the more i contemplated what this man said,
- 00:24:27.556 --> 00:24:33.194
- I realized that maybe the reason he wasn't that into longevity
- 00:24:33.194 --> 00:24:39.000
- Was because he had a really clear view of eternity.
- 00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:44.005
- You see, i know something about this man's story, and i knew he
- 00:24:44.005 --> 00:24:47.008
- Was a believer in christ, and it made me examine my own story.
- 00:24:47.008 --> 00:24:52.113
- I realized i don't need to be so focused on longevity if i'm very
- 00:24:52.113 --> 00:24:57.819
- Clearly viewing eternity.
- 00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:00.956
- Now, here's what i mean.
- 00:25:00.956 --> 00:25:02.691
- We all start off in this life like this.
- 00:25:02.691 --> 00:25:07.796
- It's a plum.
- 00:25:07.796 --> 00:25:09.130
- We start off like this.
- 00:25:09.130 --> 00:25:10.765
- Look, look how tight that skin is.
- 00:25:10.765 --> 00:25:13.168
- I mean, this is plump, it's hydrated, it's young, it's
- 00:25:13.168 --> 00:25:17.372
- Beautiful, it's tasty, it's nutritious, it's all good.
- 00:25:17.372 --> 00:25:20.775
- And we all start off like this, but the more life we live, the
- 00:25:20.775 --> 00:25:24.746
- More age we accumulate, the more time we spend here on planet
- 00:25:24.746 --> 00:25:28.883
- Earth, do you know what happens to this plum?
- 00:25:28.883 --> 00:25:31.786
- It looks a little more like this, a prune.
- 00:25:31.786 --> 00:25:36.725
- It gets dehydrated, it gets wrinkled, and no matter what,
- 00:25:36.725 --> 00:25:40.662
- Eventually this plum is gonna end up like this prune.
- 00:25:40.662 --> 00:25:46.501
- And you know what?
- 00:25:46.501 --> 00:25:47.836
- That's okay, because ecclesiastes chapter 3 tells us
- 00:25:47.836 --> 00:25:52.207
- That we were made for eternity, and god makes all things
- 00:25:52.207 --> 00:25:57.746
- Beautiful in its time.
- 00:25:57.746 --> 00:25:59.714
- So, my friend, if you're feeling the--just the weight of life, if
- 00:25:59.714 --> 00:26:05.186
- You're feeling how maybe just the calendar pages are turning
- 00:26:05.186 --> 00:26:09.057
- So quickly and you feel like time is passing you by and
- 00:26:09.057 --> 00:26:12.861
- You're not quite as young as you used to be, it's okay, because
- 00:26:12.861 --> 00:26:18.433
- You were made for far more than longevity.
- 00:26:18.433 --> 00:26:22.537
- You were made for eternity, so let's keep our eyes fixed on
- 00:26:22.537 --> 00:26:27.242
- Heaven, our forever home, where we will know as
- 00:26:27.242 --> 00:26:32.614
- We have been known.
- 00:26:32.614 --> 00:26:34.315
- And then can i just be honest with you?
- 00:26:34.315 --> 00:26:36.785
- If you feel more like this prune than this plum, then just know,
- 00:26:36.785 --> 00:26:44.359
- God really has made everything beautiful in its time, and you
- 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:49.030
- Are made for far more than time.
- 00:26:49.030 --> 00:26:52.100
- You're made for eternity.
- 00:26:52.100 --> 00:26:54.269
- It's so sticky.
- 00:26:55.837 --> 00:26:58.273
- Mark moore: but when the bible talks about sin, particularly
- 00:27:02.510 --> 00:27:05.213
- Under a kingdom, it's more social justice than
- 00:27:05.213 --> 00:27:09.084
- Personal morality.
- 00:27:09.084 --> 00:27:10.418
