<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 It certainly is appreciated, all the fine cooperation with these ministers here with no more invitation then they got. Just... Brother Freddie Sothmann, which I've learned to love as a dear beloved brother, he come over here... Brother Fred's not a minister, but he loves the Lord with all of his heart. And I tell you, you couldn't find a finer man than--than Fred Sothmann. He's just one... He's not in here now, and that's the reason I can say that. See? And he--he's just one fine man.
I'm--I'm sorry. I--I--I... Didn't Billy take you to the back of the room? Fred, Billy wants to see you behind the curtain...?... I supposed to told him that, and I thought he went off the platform. I'm sorry. Your sins will find you out, won't they? I honestly thought he was back there. Billy wanted to see him back behind the platform concerning something about tapes, Leo, something, someone wanted a complete meeting on a tape or something.

L-6 Now, while he's gone I can talk. He certainly has been a real brother to me. And he--he come down and the best he could do, get the ministers and tell them we were coming. The reason we try to do this, if you have a sponsorship, well then, that certain denomination that sponsors it, the other denomination feels they have nothing to do into it. But if you'll just come...
Here's my motive. I'm planning on, God willing, making one great big push this next summer in the States, if God willing, and Canada. I'm ordering a tent to seat somewhere around eight to ten thousand people, and we want to find out locations that we can put this tent up and not stay just for four or five days or a week; we want to stay four or five weeks, teach, so I can have the afternoons, and so forth, and lay the foundation down real closely.

L-7 And then sometimes when evil spirit's gone out of a person, many times they don't know that; they don't know what to do. Well, they don't, and some of them say, "Oh, I got sicker." Well, you're supposed to get sicker. They don't know that. When a... Like a growth on the inside of you... Now, we're not dealing with that growth. The doctor deals with that when he cuts it out. But what we're dealing with is the life in that growth. That's the--the life.
Now, for instance, like cancer. Cancer's one of our great killers. Well now, cancer has a life. And it's another life besides your life. And it's a growing, spreading. Now, it... The Bible calls it a devil. Cancer is called by the medical name, which come the word "crab" with legs and spreading out. But in the real term, it's a devil, and a devil is a tormentor.

L-8 And he's--he's set in your body, comes from a--a little cell that has been bruised, or usually, and the little cell backslides and can sometimes cause your life... That's a big word for a Baptist to say, a backslider, isn't it? But just the same, when a cell backslides, it'll interrupt every cell in your body, if the devil can get into that little cell.
Now, the devil cannot create. He cannot create one thing. He can only pervert what God has already created. See? Sin is righteousness perverted. See? Sin is nothing... The devil couldn't even create sin. He could just pervert righteousness. See? 'Cause there's only one Creator; that's God. And God alone can create. But the devil takes what God has created and perverts it. God created you to be sons and daughters of His. The devil gets into you and perverts you to his way. And that's what causes the trouble.
