“The next day, he came down with it,” Hagin said. Preacher standing next to me-born-again, Spirit-filled preacher-said, ‘I don’t know why, but I’m just afraid I will,'” Papa Hagin recounted. I’m not afraid that I would get that virus. “I’ve had people say to me, ‘Brother Hagin, aren’t you afraid that you will get that virus?'” Craig’s grandfather said in his message. But Craig says to his surprise, his grandfather didn’t use the word “flu.” He said, “virus.” His grandfather was referring to a flu epidemic back in the 1940s or 1950s. I invited him onto my Strang Report podcast, where he gave some insights into why his grandfather’s legacy is still changing lives today.Ĭraig shared a recent discovery he made while listening to a recording of his grandfather’s message, “The Believer’s Authority,” which he says is still relevant for today. In fact, Craig’s church hosted the very first event (then called the “Health and Freedom Conference”) at its campus in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

I got reacquainted with Craig, whom I’ve known since he was about 10 years old, at Clay Clark’s “ReAwaken America” events being held across the country. But their ministry has also had a major impact on my life-and life in the Spirit. I’ve known the Hagin family for decades, and Charisma has covered the many ways they’ve served the body of through the years, including Rhema Bible Church, Rhema Bible Training College and Kenneth Hagin Ministries. Today, he continues to share his grandfather’s message of believing God for everything He promises. “Papa” Hagin, known as a pioneer of the Word of Faith movement. and Lynette Hagin and the grandson of Kenneth E. Craig Hagin has a powerful heritage in the faith.
