attention. But I never could get most of the churches I pastored
to that place of unity—to that place of flowing in the Spirit—to
that place of praising God.
I believe God wants us to get back to that. I'm looking
forward to meetings on a larger scale—like Campmeeting in
Tulsa where we've got 20,000 people present—where the power
of God will sweep through and we won't have to have any
healing lines. Everybody will just go home healed. Everybody
who doesn't have the Holy Spirit will go home talking in

I got back in Tulsa after holding some meetings in Denver
one time, and a woman wrote me and said, "Brother Hagin, my

"Then you started laying hands on people and they started
falling under the power. He said, 'Nothing but hypnotism. That's
all in the world it is.'"
Now, here's what she didn't know. I'm going to tell you my
side of the story. I was laying hands on people in the healing
line, and I saw the glory cloud roll in. It's like waves of the sea,
but it's a cloud. I saw it coming, and I stepped back on the
platform, because if I'd gotten in it, I would have gone down
