<TITLE>20. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 Then every time when you get healed, here comes symptoms moving right around you again. If it didn't, be careful. See? Satan's always there to detect what God has done.
Then His ministry got great and away He went. Out into the... Then we come to our text. Quickly now.
Then we see, Lazarus... He went away from the home. And as soon as Jesus left the home, sickness set in, sorrow set in. And listen, Christians, when Jesus leaves your home, sickness and trouble will set right in behind it. When He leaves your home, get ready for trouble, 'cause it's on its road right then. You welcome Him into your house. Let Him be the unseen Guest. Set down at the table, never eat without thanking Him for it.
I see many people, call theirselves Christians, never return thanks, just as illiterate as a hog under a apple tree. A hog can sit under an apple tree, and the apples would beat him on the head all day long, and he'll eat till he can't grunt no more, hardly; but he'll never look up to see where they're coming from. That's right. That's exactly the truth. People just so, "unthankful, unholy, without natural affections, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, and despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God: having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." That's what the Spirit said in Timothy. Is that right?

L-47 And here they are living into today, and Pentecost getting right into it. You holiness people going right into it, just headlong. That's true. Oh, my. What a sad sight it is. What we need today, brother, is a revival, a stirring, a breaking down, breaking up, down to the potter's house again.
Watch. I see Jesus now go away from the home. Lazarus took sick. Now, this is history; we're told that he had hemorrhages of his lungs. I don't know. That's not the Bible; that's just a historian writing. That he had hemorrhages. When Jesus went away from the home, then Martha and Mary, and all of them, had left the synagogue, and was following Jesus. They sent for Jesus to come pray for Lazarus. You think He done it? He walked right on away.

L-48 Now, if that would been you, huh, if you sent for your pastor and he wouldn't have come, you'd said, "Why, the old hypocrite. I'll never go back to the Philadelphian church again. I'll never go back no more. He didn't come." 
But if Mary would've thought that, and Martha, what a day it would've been. Now, he never ask me to say that, I just said that. That's to any church. You've got to have faith in your pastor, as a man of God. If he isn't--He isn't, get him out, and get somebody in there that is. That's right. Don't stop the church. That's right, go on. If he isn't a man of God, if he doesn't live, and do, and act, and preach what he should, take him out; put somebody else in that will do it.
