<TITLE>15. Par -</TITLE>L-488-82 But now you could drag me out there and wallow me and knock... See? Why? Not me. What am I trying to make a point here? Something happened. That old power, that old William Branham died, and Someone else come in. And It makes me feel sorry for my enemy. When anyone does anything wrong to me, I never pray against them; I pray for them. That's where the Holy Spirit give that test the other night in New England, before this happened down here. When that--when He gave power, said, "Just speak what you will to them people." The way they had done...
And I looked down there, and I said, "I forgive you." That's exactly what He wanted. See? Forgive your enemies. See? These are the spirits that make you evil. Watch them spirits.

L-488-83 Here come somebody by. He was up there in a tomb. Somebody come by; he'd run out and overcome them, the Bible said. No one--he was so dangerous till nobody could pass that way. But one day there was a stronger Power passed. He was possessed with hatred, malice, devil, legion of them walking around, big fellow. They'd go out there, and take an army, and put him in chains; and he'd break the chains loose. And the devil was in him. There he was. He'd some--he'd been a--he'd been a real idol for the Jeffersonville High School: sure would. There he was, all this big... Or some of these teen-agers, you know, "Oh, he's real man." I've seen men that weighed two hundred pounds didn't have a ounce of man in them. That's not man; that's brute. See?

L-488-84 But there was a little bitty, stoop-shouldered Fellow come down the road one day, kinda bent down (The Bible said there was no beauty we should desire Him, thirty years old and pass for fifty.), walking down the road one day, and he run out to meet Him. Said, "I'll just take that little fellow and wind him around." But, oh, my, when he met that One, he fell at His feet. And them devils so possessed him... Now, look. That day... He was so possessed with the devil...
Now, this, I want to put this in to--for you. He was--that man was so completely yielded to the devil, till the devil used his tongue to talk. Now, you can be so completely yielded to God till God can use your tongue to talk. That's right. That's what I claim. Any sermon that I ever preached that had any meaning to it, is when I got yielded, got William Branham out of the way, and Christ could take in and start talking. See? And He can speak in a language.

L-488-86 Now, notice. He was so possessed of that evil spirit, and that spirit had him so close till... Them demons knowed their time had come, because they had met Love. See? And they said, "We'll try him." And all... Now, notice what taken place. He said, "Why, we know who you are. Why, you in that little bitty body like this, little frail-looking fellow?" Said, "Why are you coming like that?" Said, "We know who you are. You're the holy one of Israel, and why do you..."
Now, watch. If you don't believe that there's a future torment for devils, listen to these confess it. "Why comest thou to torment us before the time comes?" They know there's a future torment. "Why comest thou to torment us before the time comes." See?
And Jesus said, "What's your name?" He knowed; He wanted them to confess it.
Said, "We're Legion, for there's many of us." He said, "If you're going to cast us out of this man..."
