<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 Now, just before I read the text, I would like to explain a little more of... Many has asked me today. They never had heard before how that, and when anything dies... You see, brother, sister, it's--it's a life. Like a--a tumor, like--like this lady here (See?), that wasn't on her eyes a few years ago, but it's there now. You didn't have that tumor a few years ago, but it's there now. Where did it come from? The doctor says it was a germ. Well, where'd the germ come from? It isn't a germ of life that belongs to you. It's a germ of death that was sent by the devil. Then if you take the life out of it, which is the devil, then the--the lump just goes away. It can't operate without life. Neither can you. If you was a cancer, well, in the way of Divine healing, it just call your life out; your body would be there just the same. But by and by, it'll go away. Just believe.
Now, notice for instance, like death. I'll just take a few moments. There is so many things that I'd like to teach you. Now, keep the Gospel true and clear by the Bible. Following these meetings like this, listen German friends, much fanaticism usually follows this. Don't believe it. Stay with the Bible (See?), 'cause Satan plays along there. Just strike at it. Believe it not. Stay with God.

L-9 Now, one more little thing I want to teach you. Then coming back, we have many things to talk of. Now, let's just take for instance, a--a--a growth, that it, something that isn't a growth. For instance, a deaf ear. If a man is deaf, the Bible said, "When the deaf spirit went out of the man," the deaf spirit. Now, if a man's deaf, their, one thing to do, the sensible thing to do is go to your doctor. Let him examine you. He'll look all over it. Well, he'll perhaps say a, tell you why you're deaf. Maybe something has slipped and it's cutting off the energy to the nerve. Then if he can operate and pull that slip back, it'll be energized. You'll hear again.
For instance, sometimes when the teeth is out, 'causes to pull down, and it makes you hard of hearing. Many things like that are natural things. But what if the doctor said, "I don't see why you're deaf, or why you're dumb and can't speak, or why you're blind and can't see."
Now, if it's a ca--if it's a cataract, it's a germ of life, and it's growing a body, and it's covering over the sight. But what if it's not a cataract. What if the doctor says the nerve is dead? Well, what killed the nerve? Not supposed to that way. God didn't want it that way. Just so much of the nerve died. Well, why didn't all the nerve die? Just in the eye? It's because a blind spirit: spirit. Jesus called it that. No matter how old fashion it seems, still the truth. The Bible said so.

L-10 Now, if there's an unseen something that the doctor can't see, neither can he feel, he can't touch it in no way, but the nerve is dead. It's a blind spirit shutting off, stopping, sh--shutting off the energy to--to the eye or to the ear.
Like if there was a transparent band around my hand, you can't see it--you can't see it; you couldn't feeled it; but my hand's getting dead. Well, there's no need of putting salve out here. You've got to deal with it here. After a while if you don't move it, it'll become completely dead. You're--you'll lose the use of it.
Now, what does Divine healing do? Divine healing, prayer to God, faith cuts that loose, takes away that spirit. Then what happens? Energy begins to come in, and the person begins to see better. They might not see perfect at once.
Jesus prayed for a man, and he looked up, and he begin to see men look like trees. He went back to Jesus; He prayed again, then--then he could see clear. See, it takes a little while. If you took a strap off your hand, first it--you can move it a little, but the life isn't circulating right. See? Have to let it go awhile. Same thing is by hearing, by speaking, or by seeing, or anything like that. It's deaf, dumb, and blind spirits. The Bible said so.
