<TITLE>12. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 Now, we are going to pray for the sick. Now, I... Is there any here that's never seen--been in one of my meetings before, where I prayed for the sick, raise your hands? Just a very few.
Well, I might make this quotation quickly, that I believe and stand on this: that Jesus Christ is not dead, but He's alive. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] I believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's the same in principle, the same in power; the only difference He is, He's in us now in the form of the Holy Spirit, where He's in one man, Jesus Christ, when He was here on earth. But He sent His Holy Spirit back, and It's in all the Church universal, all the believers. Now, I believe the same things that He did, He promised that we should do too.

L-44 Now, last night as I went into it... You see, that sign of the Messiah was only done to the--the Jews and the Samaritans, not to the Gentiles. The Gentiles wasn't looking for the coming of Christ. Now, the Jews and Samaritans is not receiving it, but the Gentiles are receiving it. Why? It's the Gentiles looking for the coming of Christ.
See, God, if that's the way He did it first, made Hisself known as Messiah by discerning their thoughts, telling the woman at the well she had husbands, and illegally, and telling Peter who his name was, and the other things like that... And by that--not by healing the sick... They healed the sick before then. But they knowed He was the Prophet that Moses spoke would come, the God-prophet. How many understands that, raise up your hands? And they said, "By this we know You are the Messiah."

L-45 The woman at the well, she was a prostitute. But she knowed more about the Bible than half the preachers in America. That's right. The preachers of that day, why, them preachers said, "This man's a fortuneteller. That's the reason he can discern their thoughts."
And Jesus said, "You speak that against Me; it'll be forgiven. But when the Holy Spirit comes and does the same thing, speak against That, it'll never be forgiven." That's blasphemy, because they called the Spirit that He had in Him an unclean spirit; called the Spirit of God, the works of the Spirit of God a devil, Beelzebub. He said it's unforgivable.

L-46 Now, if you're spiritual, you've caught these messages that I been preaching, how last night they sent to Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, to consult him. You should be spiritual enough to understand which is right and wrong, what speaks and what isn't.
Did you ever see a spiritualist preaching the Gospel, and healing the sick? No, sir. Satan can't cast out Satan. The devil can't heal. Jesus said, "If Satan can cast out Satan, then his kingdom's divided." Satan cannot heal. God's the only One can heal. God's the only Creator. Satan can pervert what God's created.
And what is unrighteousness? Righteousness perverted. Here, let me say it. We're in a mixed multitude. But I'm your brother; you listen to your doctor. You married men. You live with your wife as a wife. It's the bed is undefiled. But another woman could do the same act, and you'll go to hell for doing it: the same act, but perverted. All unrighteousness...
What is a lie? Is the truth misrepresented. All the devil can do is to pervert righteousness. He cannot create. He's not a creator; God's the only Creator. So, it takes creation to heal, and God's the only Healer.
