That night I lay there and prayed for about an hour or more in tongues, never disturbing my
wife sleeping by my side. After praying in tongues, I started prophesying. Sometimes I
prophesy to myself as well as to others as the Spirit leads.
As I continued to prophesy the Lord said, "I'll be with Pat, and she will come through safely.
The baby shall be born. You need have no worry or fear."
I wondered why He was saying that to me because I knew Pat was all right. We were
expecting to be home before the baby was born. I didn't know that she was having great
difficulty at that very moment. I thought that the Lord was just reassuring me that everything
would be all right and that she would carry the baby the full length of time.
The Lord said to me, "You have obeyed me. You did what I asked you to do. You left your
family and your children and were away from them eighty-five percent of the time for eight
years as they were growing up. Since you did what I asked you to do, I am going to do this for
your sake because you obeyed me."
You see, what we do affects not only our lives but the lives of our children and our family as
well.
A week later we received a call from our pastor back home while we were still on the road. He
said that Pat had just been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Our pastor related to us
that the baby was going to be born prematurely.
He said," There are serious symptoms. I'm going to be honest with you, Brother Hagin. Her
condition is terribly serious. It looks as if there is very little hope for the baby and little hope for
her."
I said immediately with joy, "Oh, Brother, don't bother about it. I already have the answer! I've
had it for a week. Last Friday night about this time the Lord was speaking to me. He said the
baby would be born. The Lord said He would see Pat through. She will come through
splendidly, and everything will be all right. I am not going to pray. Just rejoice with me because
everything is going to be all right."
A short time later the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "The baby is being born right this
minute." I looked at the clock and told my wife, "The Holy Spirit just said to me that the baby is
being born and is all right. The baby is being born right this minute and is alive." So we began
to praise the Lord.
The next morning my son-in-law called and said, "I just wanted to call and tell you everything is
fine. Pat is fine. The baby is fine. Everything is lovely."
I asked, "When was the child born?" He told me the very minute the baby had been born. It
was the very minute the Holy Ghost told me she was born.
The Holy Spirit is our Intercessor and our Guide, and as we yield to Him in our prayer life, He
will help us and at times show us things to come, as He wills (John 14:16 Amp.; Rom. 8:26;
John 16:13).
