<TITLE>02. Par 6-10</TITLE>L-6 But remember, in dealing with--like a substance, a tumor, we're not dealing with that lump or the cancer. What is a cancer? It's a life, and it's not your life; it's another life. It's a multiplication of cells. And what caused it to be there? It's another life that's coming to yours to kill you. The Bible calls it a devil. We call it cancer today, which is a medical term, which comes from the word "crab." But the Bible calls it a devil, a killer.
Now, we're not dealing with that little house that it's growed in; it develops cells just like you did. Did you know you came from one little cell? That cell came from your father. The germ went into the egg, which was your mother, and out of there develop, cell begin to swell and cell on top of cell, until it made you what you are today.

L-7 And now, that life that you have in you now, through these cells, are good cells, cells of your life. But here comes a cancer, or tumor, or any other disease along, and it's a different cell, and a different germ. And what is it to do, it's not--if it's against your life, then it's death. So it is a demon, and we're not dealing with that robe that it lives in, that house; we're dealing with the life that's in that house.
Just like if I was dealing with you, if you were the cancer, and I'd be--try to just rub your body until it's no more, but just take the life out of it. It'll go back to the dust of the earth. That's what casting out demons is, is calling the life of that out. The substance is still there, the body.

L-8 But what happens to a little animal if it gets killed? What happens to a deer, you hunters up here, if you kill it today and throw it on the scales and weigh it? You tell your comrades that your deer weighed so much, but put it on the scales in the morning and see what it'll weigh, pounds lighter. Anything does, it shrinks for so long, until corruption begins to set in, then it swells, and gets heavier, and bigger than it was at the first place.
That same thing happens to a tumor or cancer. Then the patient begins to say, "Well, I've lost my healing." The best sign in the world, that you've got it... And that's why, many times running in, like little meetings like this, we don't get a chance to have those afternoon meetings of instructions and telling people how to hold to God. We just got to take a chance on the people having faith, regardless of how they feel, or what evidence of anything re-occurring; they still believe it. Stay right with it. That's the main thing.

L-9 Now, I want to read some of God's blessed Word, that's found tonight in the book of St. Matthew, before we--the 12th chapter, and the 42nd verse.
And the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
May the Lord bless His Word.

L-10 Jesus, in the previous chapter, had just been upbraiding the cities because of their unbelief. You know, unbelief is one of the most hideous things that can strike a person.
And there is only two faculties that can govern you; that's either faith or unbelief. You cannot be halfway between; there's no black-white birds, or drunk-sober men, sinner-saints. You're either a believer or not a believer. And the only sin that there is, is unbelief.
You might be ever so religious and never tell a lie. You might be such a church member, till all the neighborhood would say, "What a renowned person," and still be a sinner in the sight of God. You're not judged by that; it's by your faith. "He that believeth not is condemned already."
