<TITLE>19. Par 65-68</TITLE>L-65 It's become such a place till the Spirit of God has been grieved, and any church that denies the Supernatural, it'll die as sure as I'm standing this pulpit. He that cometh of God must believe that He is and a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He is alive. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever in every principle and power, living Christ...?...
When these disciples had received that power, look at it, it just lays in man. Oh, they thought they were dignified. And they go right out a few days later and find themselves helpless before a epileptic. They could not cast the devil out.
And Jesus come along and He said to them, "Oh, you faithless generation. How long will I suffer you. Bring him here." Oh, brother, when he come before that real Jewel, He cast the devil out of him.
And the disciples come to Him, they said, "Lord, did You take Your power back?"
He never said, "You don't have power."
They said, "Why can't we do it?"
He never said, "Well, because you lost your power."
He said, "Because of your unbelief."

L-66 A few days later from that, they found a man casting out devils who wasn't a disciple. And the man was getting the job done. He was actually getting it done. He was casting out devils. He stood around here, Jesus said, "Whosoever will."
He said, "That's me." And away he went. He was getting the job done. That's right.
And they were jealous because they couldn't do it. And they told Jesus, they said, "We forbid him."
He said, "Don't forbid him, for he that's not with us, scatters abroad. No man can do a miracle in My Name can speak light of Me." And today, it's nothing but play, childlike, juvenile jealousy among the high churches that won't bring themselves down to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost and practice Divine Healing and the powers of the Holy Ghost among the churches. Amen, exactly the...?... It's true.

L-67 Jesus Christ, God's Son, has raised from the dead. That's either the truth or this Bible is in error. I know that it is the truth. He lives; He is not dead.
And if He doesn't make Himself the same as He was the days gone by, then He is not alive, for He promised, "The works that I do shall you also. Even more than this shall you do for I go to My Father."
And the world has got the Bible, reads the Bible, and said, "You teachers produce it; we'll believe He raised." Until then, Mohammedans just the same as the rest of them, Buddhas and the rest of them. But thanks be to God; Jesus lives. He's alive from the dead. And it's not some fictitious make-up. It's not some man-made, homemade theology.

L-68 Those people that say the days of miracles is past, their argument is thinner than the broth made out of the shadow of a chicken that's starved to death. They haven't got a leg to stand on or a Scripture to stand on.
Any man that could preach anything against sin, has to recognize sickness as the attributes of sin, got to. Amen. I mean that from my heart. You can't deal with sin without dealing with its attributes.
If a serpent had its... If a big animal had its paws in your side, you just don't have to cut off his paw. Just knock him in the head; it'll take care of the paw.
And when Christ died for sin, He knocked sickness in the head and everything that went with it, even death itself. And we are not dead, but we are alive. "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that sent Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die."
He conquered death, hell, the grave. Paul said when He come to the grave, "Oh, death, where is thy sting? Oh, grave, where is thy victory? But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." He lives.
