<TITLE>07. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 Everything that Satan's got, everything that Satan ever did, he made it off of something God created. Satan's not a creator, but he perverted what God made. That's how he perverted good into wrong. That's how he perverted that cell.
In other words, the cell backslides. That's a big word for a Baptist to say, isn't it? But it... Anyhow, it--it--the cell backslid and that's what causes the trouble. And then it begins to develop cell on top of cell. A demon power comes into that cell.
You know where you come from. You come from God, but where did this thing come from called cancer? It come from the devil. There's only two resources that life can come from, either from God or from the devil.
And that just keeps growing a great growth. Now, that's what we deal with here on the platform, not the growth itself but the life in the growth. That's what we're dealing with--the life in it.
If you was a cancer on earth, the way to get rid of you in the way of Divine healing is call your life out of you. You'd fall down on the ground. You're still here on earth, but then for a few days you'll--you'll perhaps shrink.

L-21 When a human body dies... An undertaker here would know that. Well then, a hunter knows. You shoot a deer tonight and wait. Throw it on the scales and tell the boys how much it weigh. In the morning throw it back on the scales, and see how much it went off through the night. Let it lay there a few days, and then throw it on the scale, and look how much more it weighed than it did in the first place.
That's how I tell the patients: watch about seventy-two hours; corruption sets in. And that body begins to swell like a little dog laying on the street. He begins to swell after he lays there so long.
The patient then, that the evil has gone out of the patient, the cancer is dead. For a few days they feel fine. Like the cataract, tumor, or whatever it may be, they feel fine for a few days, and then the first thing you know it begins to swell, swell. And then if the patient isn't truly instructed in the Word of God, they'll lose their healing as sure as anything, because they get sick and get twice as bad as they ever was. And that's the best sign you ever had that you're healed, certainly, is swelling. It's gone away.

L-22 Then if you really... If your faith has been built upon somebody, some Divine healer, or--or somebody professing that's got something when they haven't, then you're gone. But if your faith is built on the Word of God, all devils out of hell wouldn't ever make you deny it, for it's settled down in here.
It's not up here in mental theology. It's down here in your heart. It isn't a intellectual faith. It's a faith that's sunk in your heart by Almighty God. No matter how dark the road looks, you still shout the praises of God, 'cause you know God's revealed it to you and that settles it.
That's why people sometimes needs to have the instructions. Have knowing where your faith lays, not upon man, not upon somebody's ritual, or some curious feelings or something other like that. Your faith is built on the Word of God. There's where faith takes its resting place.
