Marilyn Hickey

I just love to hear Marilyn Hickey! She told one story this morning at High Point Church that had me laughing out loud... hey, you can laugh in church.

Anyway, here's the story (or at least the best I remember it)...

Marilyn is preaching at an Assembly of God church earlier in her ministry. The pastor tells her that she can preach as long as she is "anointed". So, she starts preaching with a lot of fervor and being loud. In her quest to be anointed, She sees a man in the back of the congregation sitting in a wheel chair and calls out to him "Stand Up". Unfortunately, she can only see the man from the chest up.

When she repeats her request for the man to "stand up and be healed in the name of Jesus" and he doesn't do it, she calls on one of the associate pastor's to go back there and make the man stand up. When he shakes his head "no" he won't go back and do that, Marilyn asks, "Why Not?". The associate pastor replies, "because he has no legs".

Her point was to "STAY IN FAITH" even when you are STUPID. It was after that incident that the Lord told her that she would see many people healed in her ministry... and she certainly has!

If you live in the DFW Metroplex and need a church home please check out High Point Church in Arlington, Texas.

Peace,
