<TITLE>16. Par 40-42</TITLE>L-40 I said, "You see what it is? When it comes to a showdown to their...?... it's nothing in the world but the devil; that's exactly what it is. Exactly." God's work moves on just the same: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever."
What would have happened when that maniac run to the platform that night? Here, today, I was told here by a minister, when I used to take the people by the hand. I know we had some impersonations of that; that's right. But a minister said, that man getting them by the hand, and so forth like that, a minister that's going to cooperate in my next meeting. He was standing up at the platform, said, "That guy is a spiritualist. That's all." Said, "He's--nothing to him." Said, "He's nothing in the world but a spiritualist." Said, "He's a devil. He's a--he's a mind reader." Said, "There's nothing at all about it, about his left hand." When that was first come, that was before this other had happened. Said, "There's to it." And while in preaching, his hand went paralyzed from his wrist down. And today, he has got big spots like leprosy; it's not leprosy, but it's spotted like leprosy, all over his hand, on that same hand, that he criticized mine of.

L-41 I tell you, brother, the Bible said, "It is far better that a millstone was hanged at your neck and you drown in the depths of the sea." That's right. So be careful. Know what you're talking about. See? Be careful. And that man has got his name on the paper to cooperate in this next meeting, willingly. See? If you don't understand, just be still. Just don't say nothing about it. I wouldn't even be around where it was at. If I didn't believe in it, I just wouldn't be around where it was at. I'd stay away from it.
Why did I say that? You think I can stand here at the platform and not know things? Certainly I do.
I want to read some Scripture again, the 12th verse:
And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
And the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
And believers were more added to the Lord, multiplied both men and women.
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the street, and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow them.
Oh, my. After calling two people in his audience, that wasn't living right with God, the shadow of that man passed over and what? This is not my Word. I'm not responsible for This. God's inspired Holy Spirit wrote this Holy Writ. Do you believe it? And I'd willingly offer my life that this is the truth. Look.
There came also a multitude out of the city around about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one of them.

L-42 You believe it? Look. A man, a Spirit filled, Pentecostal born, Holy Ghost man of God, called out, separated, stood under inspiration, knowing nothing about what Ananias and Sapphira had done, but when he came, they came into the building, the Holy Spirit revealed what had happened. And God rewarded them of their iniquity. And they believed Jesus the resurrected Christ, not Peter; the resurrected Christ, that promised, "I will be with you, even in you." And even the shadow of that man, passing the street, he never prayed for nobody. Walked down the street, and every one of them was healed, sick, afflicted, impotent, lame, unclean spirit. That man who lived with--in adultery, and uncleanliness, and everything like that. Unclean spirits makes them do unclean things. Every one of them...
Then if Jesus is the same tonight, if laying in the shadow of Peter would do such, what about right here, when Jesus Christ is the same manifestation here among us? Don't take the shadow of Peter; it takes faith in the Son of God. Amen. You believe it?
