<TITLE>10. Par 31-33</TITLE>L-31 Well, the woman with the stomach trouble went home. She said, "Well, I believe that with all my heart." What is sin, friend? Sin... Smoking cigarettes is not sin. Drinking whiskey is not sin. Committing adultery is not sin. That's the attributes of sin. "He that believeth not is condemned already." Unbelief is sin. Is that right? You do those things because you don't believe.
Jesus said, "He that heareth My words, and believeth on Him that sent Me has Everlasting Life." See? The thing is--is your faith. And if you believe God, you won't do those things. See? That's just the attributes of sin. You smoke cigarettes because you don't believe God. You drink whiskey because you don't believe in God. You say you do, but your testimony, your works, speaks too loud for your testimony. That's right. By their what you shall know them? Their testimony? Their fruits you shall know them (That's right.), by their fruits. You do those things because you're an unbeliever.

L-32 All right. Then when this woman, she went home and she started to eat, and it liked to killed her. Oh, she was so sick. She vomit. Days passed, weeks passed. About six weeks passed. Now, I've got her testimony. She's just one of the thousands, but I'm just giving this for an example. She lived in Illinois.
And she come to another meeting and gave the testimony. She said, "One morning..." Oh, she was suffering so bad with that stomach a hurting her, ulcers. And she was standing at the window, and she was washing the dishes, and she said she was so sick. She'd tried to--to drink a--a drink, a few sups of coffee. And it made her so sick. And she said, "After, a real cool feeling went over her." So she goes back, and she said, "I--I..." She got real hungry. And she just picked up a little piece of toast that one of the children had left, that'd gone to school, she started to eat that toast. She said, "Oh, that buttered toast would make her so sick, but she was so hungry she couldn't stand it." So she eats a little bite or two of toast, didn't... No ill-affect, and she eat the rest of it. So, she had some--they had some oats left over, so she just eating the children's oats. And that usually would make them really sick, but it didn't make her sick. So she just poured her a cup of coffee and drank it. So it was all right. So she was just feeling fine. She said, "Well, I don't understand this."
So down the street she went to tell her neighbor four or five doors below her. And when she got in to tell her neighbor, she found her neighbor in there screaming at the top of her voice, and the lump had just left her throat.

L-33 So they didn't know what it was. What it was, on the platform, when the Angel of the Lord had pronounced that, He can't be to you just at every second. But He had passed through that neighborhood confirming the Word of God, making It right.
Sometimes you pray... I believe Daniel, the Angel couldn't get to him one time when he was asking, for, I believe, twenty-one days, wasn't it? twenty-one days 'fore it could get there. See? Now, if you'd have lost faith, they'd lost out. But you do just exactly what God says do. This is His Word, first; the other is secondarily.
