Then Jesus looked at him and said: “If you hadn’t done something about that, I couldn’t have.” 61 According to Hagin, Jesus continued by saying: “Not a single time in the New Testament is the Church ever told to pray that God the Father or Jesus would do anything against the devil. When the demon was silenced, Hagin could hear Jesus again, and he was wondering why Jesus had not done anything about the situation. Hagin was expecting an intervention from the Lord, but when this was not forthcoming, Hagin himself commanded the demon to be quiet. Jesus did not do anything at all about it, but continued to speak as though nothing was happening. As the message was being given, a demon jumped on to the scene and started to make such a noisy racket that it was no longer possible for Hagin to hear what Jesus was saying. On one occasion, Jesus is said to have revealed Himself to Hagin in order to give him a message about the authority of the believer.
