<TITLE>07. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 If you had a cut on your hand, you done everything for it, and nothing, just kept getting worse. After while, you put something on your hands; it begin to help it. But it didn't get well; it's getting well. And when the curse of sickness is taken off of you, not every time it's a miracle. Now, if sometimes it just happens spontaneously. Sometimes the curse is just gone, and the cure follows it.
Now, listen real close, so you'll be sure. There's hardly a time that within the space of seventy-two hours after a healing has taken place, until Satan's right back at the place again. That's the Bible. When the unclean spirit's gone out of a man, he walks in dry places. Then he returns with him with seven other demons worse than he was. Is that right? You know as he goes on, if the good man of the house isn't there to hold him off, faith to believe...

L-26 Now, I want you to listen closely to my commission. God knows I want this to happen in Cleveland. I'm weak and I'm tired. And I don't--I don't... I dread to say that. But friends, do you realize I'm facing demon powers? And I must live right and do right. And I must be truthful. I don't care if the newspapers tell they had to drag me out. That--that don't make any... That don't stop it from being true; that's true. But when they lie about it, that's a lie. But when it's the truth, it's the truth.
Now, I wished I could see a vision. But I can't help it. My strength, just goes right away from me. I can't help it. And I wondered why it was, it always makes me so swimmy that way.
A few days ago, I was reading at the Bible, of Daniel. After he had those visions, he said he was troubled in his head for many days. Do you remember that? Daniel. Then that give me consolation again, to help me to see.

L-27 That's when mortal beings... When the Supernatural comes upon the mortal being, it causes a conflict with the flesh. That's right. It weakens the human being so. Even Christ, laying on the back of a boat, and those terrible waves didn't even... So much virtue had gone out of Him, till them terrible waves didn't even wake Him up. Isn't that right? But when awakened, then He stilled the waves and the sea.
Now, even in human form, went away, went out... Virtue went out while the Supernatural worked. And Jesus, in many cases, went into a city, and He healed one person, and left the city: Lead a man outside the city gates, restore his sight to him, and go on somewhere else. Went into the land of Gadara, healed the one. 'Course, they there was a...?... But then He did heal all that come to Him one time, to fulfill which was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah: "He Himself took our infirmities, and bear our sins...?..."

L-28 And Jesus said that He could do nothing at all until first the Father showed Him. Is that right? Saint John... When He passed by that pool of Bethesda... Now, just let these words sink deep now, when Jesus passed by the pool of Bethesda, there laid great multitudes of people that had been laying there. They... Now, watch the kind of condition they were in: the lame, halt, blind, crippled, withered (Is that right?), waiting for the moving of the water. For an Angel came down at a certain season and troubled the water. And the first one with faith, stepping in, was healed of whatsoever disease he had.
Someone said to me, when there'd been at least five paralyzed people leave this building here, that's been setting here paralyzed, they said, "What..." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Now, go down and tell those paralyzed people so we can believe.
Brother, he wouldn't believe, if Christ Himself was standing...?... That's right. I can do nothing at all. God gets all glory, for I can do nothing. I can only do what He tells me to do.
