<TITLE>21. Par 70-72</TITLE>L-70 Now, have faith and believe. Now, the lady, I suppose, to me is a stranger that I never seen in my life. We're strangers, are we, lady? Now, if that's right, raise up your hand, please? I never seen the lady in my life, knowingly. God knows that. I know nothing of her, and it's a hard matter.
I'm going to ask the sister if she will chord, "Abide With Me" softly, if you will.
Now, let me say this. I felt warned to say it. What happens to unclean spirits when they go out of a person? They try to find a place to get into, and in the Bible times did they go into unbelief? They sure did, and we've seen it happen thousands of times.
Now, this woman standing here I don't know her. She might be here as a deceiver. If she is, watch what happens to her, and if she's here for sickness, I pray God will heal her. If she is here for finances, whatever it is, if she's a--a woman that owes a great debt, and they're going to foreclose on her, I pray God give her the money. If she's got domestics affair, I--I pray that God will help her. I--I don't know. God alone knows, but if she's standing here, and if I could do something for the lady, and wouldn't do it, then what kind of a person would I be as a minister? I wouldn't be worthy to be called a minister. You believe that, lady? But I couldn't do nothing for you, lady.

L-71 But now, I'm going to change this pi--picture now. Just place yourself back in the Bible times and say... Now, like that scene I was just talking about, the--the Christ at the well. Now I'm not the Christ, and she's not the Samaritan, but it's a man and a woman again that's never met before.
And now, if He's raised from the dead and will do the same things that He did when He was here on earth, He would know you. If it's for sickness, He would--He would know what your sickness was. He could tell you that, but to heal you, He couldn't. He's already did it at Calvary. It would be your faith, and then it would be your personal faith in His resurrection, and His benefits for You at Calvary, and His resurrection for your justification. Do you believe that? You do.
And if God in heaven will send down His Spirit and the only thing I can do, lady, is just--just surrender myself to Him, and He has to do the talking, 'cause I don't know nothing about you, and if He will speak and tell me what you're here for... Now, you know where--what it is. Or something like He did in the Bible. Would you believe it to be Him? You know, and the audience would you believe it? Now, here we are, not in a dark room. We're here before the... At least a thousand people, and it's been done before five hundred thousand people. See? But not some dark room, some witchcraft, and muttering, and guessing. It's--it's God Almighty. He's permitting His blessings to come to us. See?

L-72 What is a soothsayer? What is a fortuneteller? Is a perverted spirit, that the devil has taken that person who could've been used for God and perverted it into the devil's work. What is sin? Is righteousness perverted, not nothing the devil created, something different. It's what God created, and the devil perverted it. See?
Now, I trust that He'll help you, lady. Now, you'd know it would be some kind of... It'd have to be a supernatural, wouldn't it? Then whatever it would be would determine what you'd get from it: your approach. When the woman that went to the--to Elijah to ask about her baby... If she'd come up there critical, she'd have never got what she asked for.
