<TITLE>20. Par 72-75</TITLE>L-72 Now, you could get by with anything in America. I went to a service here not long ago where they was suppose to be practicing Divine healing. The fellow was jumping up-and-down, screaming to the top of his voice, and kicking the pulpit as hard as he could, said, "God, I demand You."
Oh, mercy. I thought, "God, be merciful to my brother. He doesn't understand." Who are we to demand God to do anything. He's already done it; just believe Him. That's all.
Had an old fellow in a sheet, shaking him back and forth, like this, a man with a heart trouble. I felt sorry for him. Another man come up with a rheumatism; he shook that way and he hit him, just as hard as he could with his hand, and said, "I hate rheumatism." That don't take devils out.
The devil don't care how much you holler. He's not hard of hearing, but he certainly knows where faith lays. That's one thing that'll make him move.

L-73 Jesus had the greatest anointing of any man that was ever on the earth. Is that right? One day He went into the temple; they give Him the scroll. He picked it up in His hand. He set down and He read over in Isaiah, where it said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me to preach the acceptable year," and so forth... the jubilee year. And He took the scroll and handed it back and sat down, and precious Words proceed from His mouth, the greatest anointing that was ever in the world, on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oh, sometimes we get... We Methodists get noise confused with anointing. Noise ain't anointing. No, no. I've seen where there's a lot of noise, and not faith enough to cure a toothache. See? You've got to come solemnly to the Father. You've got to know exactly where you are standing. That's right.

L-74 Here not long ago, in down in South Africa, where I was standing challenged... You'd better be careful what you're doing when you walk into them countries. Witch doctors and things stand there and make a challenge and defy the Lord Jesus. You'd better know what you're talking about when you walk into the presence of them. That's right. 'Cause, brother, they do everything there is to be done. That's right.
Walk through fire, rattle bones, and everything else, and cut themselves, and take a sword and stick it right straight through them like that, and blow water between the swords and pull it out and not a drop of blood, work themselves up into a frantic, screaming to the top of their voice, till they'll take a saber and run right like this, and lance theirselves right up through the nose, pull it right back down and not a drop of blood come out of it. Walk right around like that, and walk through fire, beat up glass, lay on stickers and everything else. Hypocritical? Yes, demon power. That's right.
But, brother, that has nothing to do with the Lord Jesus. But watch them when it comes to the time when the showdown, when Jesus Christ is brought to the front before it. Every demon fades back. I've never seen it fail, and you never will. That's right.

L-75 Walk close to God, my brethren, come in to the holiest of holies. Come in and live before God till the Holy Spirit, which takes Him message day by day, how you're progressing in His Kingdom, how you're treating His children, and what all you're doing, till the Father say, "I have found grace in him now. I'll bring him over here before the people."
He won't have to tell the people, the people will know by what he's doing and what the life he's living that God has done it. Your testimony sometime is all right, but your life speaks aloud, you know, your testimony don't do much good. That's right. Your life is what counts. Do you believe that?
