<TITLE>09. Par 38-43</TITLE>L-38 Now, I want you to notice, He said,
Now, if thou will indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I'll be enemy to thy enemies and an adversary to thy adversaries. (Listen close now.)
For My Angel shall go before thee and bring thee unto the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, Jebusites, and I will cut them off.
Now, could you imagine, God said, "There's a land over there that's flowing with milk and honey and I've give it to you, it's yours. But now, before you get into it, you've got to [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] down all the Hivites and Jebusites, and--and all these other different 'nites,' 'fore you got to it."

L-39 Now, that was strange, wasn't it? Now, the people today is at the same thing. God has give you a promise of Divine healing. He's give you a promise of Divine health. He's give you all these promises, but you're afraid to face the enemy that's trying to buck you off from it. That's exactly the right.
God said, "Don't you even bow down to them." Look here.
And thou shall not bow down to their gods, neither serve them, or do after their works. But thou shall utterly overthrow them and quite break down their images.

L-40 Oh, my. Looky here, there's a promise out yonder of Divine healing. There's a promise of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Before you ever get the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you may have to cut through the Methodist, the Baptist, the Presbyterian, the Christian Science, and everything else. But if you're ready to go get it, it's out there for you; God promised it, and sent it to you. Amen.
"Look, I'll give it to you, the land's over there. But before you get there, you've got to fight." That's what's the matter with people today, they're afraid to stand and fight. What we need is...
 I must fight if I should reign,
 Increase my courage, Lord.
 Must I be carried home to heaven
 On a flower bed of ease,
 While others fought to win the prize
 And sailed through bloody seas?
 No, I must fight if I must reign. (That's right.)

L-41 Oh, we're so wishy-washy, boneless and helpless, spineless as worms. I think of old Buddy Robinson. He got down in the cornfield; he said, "Lord, if You don't give me the Holy Ghost, when You come back to earth, You're going to find a pile of bones laying here."
If we ever get that sincere, something's going to happen. He said, "Lord, give me plenty of knowledge in the gable end of my soul. Let me fight the devil as long as I got a tooth in my mouth, then gum him till I die." And that's what he did.
God help me, help you, to have courage and stand out there. God said it's so, others are getting it. Let's us go get it. It's ours. God promised to us. What do you say? "But looky here, what will my church say? What will my pastor say? What will this say? What will my mama say? What will this say?" Don't matter what they say.

L-42 God said, "Utterly destroy the thing." Amen. Hallelujah. What we need today... You're a baby and sissy around with a whole lot of things you ought to be destroying. "Well, I'm afraid to testify of healing, 'cause when mama takes me down, the pastor will say, 'Well, now, if he goes to starting that stuff around here, we'll put him out of the church.'" You know what God said? "Destroy that thing." Get it out of your mind. Get it out of your way. Amen. Don't think I'm excited. I know where I am. Look, I'm just feeling good. All right.

L-43 Let me tell you, my brother; I know what I'm speaking of. I've had experience. And a lot of people try to whine around, "Well, if I kind of baby just a little bit, why, the neighbors will kind of..."
"Well, poor Mrs. So-and-so. I guess she's down at the healing service. But I know she's still... Yes, ma'am." Oh, destroy that thing.
Lot of... Pick up that little old Jebusite baby. Say, "He is so cute. He grins so little. I--I... So sweet. He--he's a little Hivite baby. I'll just tell you..." The Bible said destroy that fellow, not pet him, and baby him. He will raise up and be just like his daddy.
