<TITLE>10. Par 32-35</TITLE>L-32 Now, if we have took a hold of God by faith, and believe that He is the strength Giver, "By His stripes, I was healed. I accept it in my possession. Every promise is mine. The covenant's been confirmed by giving me the Holy Ghost and filled me with His goodness, and mercy, saving me from sin, turning my head from the things of the world, and setting my affections on Calvary. Now, I know that's right. I've passed from death unto Life. Something happened to me that changed my whole being."... Thirty-one years that's been sweet and dear to me; it's better tonight, than it ever was. I know that something happened to me.
All right. That same One that gives me joy, and strength, and salvation, has said, "If you are sick just come right over on this other breast and draw your strength from Me." Oh, my. You're satisfied. It satisfies. When I hear the Word of God say, "By His stripes I was healed," that satisfies me. Amen. That's right. Don't fret no more. Don't just run from here there. Don't do this, that, and the other. Just--just lay there and nurse your strength and health back again from El Shaddai, the strong One.

L-33 I've had many times people come. I've been in the insane institutions to watch and so pitiful and how they are. And many times, when the--Satan takes a hold of those people, that--four or five times their power. An insane man has many times his power. Look at--at the maniac of Gadara. Why, they put chains around him, he'd break them. No man could tame him. The devils had a legion in him. Now, if a legion of devils in a man, can give him four or five times their strength, what will the Holy Ghost do when He gets a hold of a man? No matter if he's sick, whether he's afflicted... You say, "Well, I just can't move."
Let the Holy Ghost take a hold one time, and watch what takes place. Yes, sir. Oh, it just--it doubles and triples your strength, 'cause you're not walking in your strength; you're walking in the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. God raised Him up from the dead, and loosed the pains of death, and give Him to us as a propitiation for our sins. And we--we know that we've passed from death unto Life, and have that what we ask for.

L-34 Maybe, it's just one nurse--time of nursing, you don't get enough strength. Just stay there. Draw from Him until you are walking, until the cancer is gone. Refuse to see the cancer. Refuse to see anything that's contrary to His Word. It's not so. Everything... Like Jonah. "They're lying vanities. I won't even see them. I won't recognize them. No, sir. I see what God said." Don't see the Amorites. Don't see the graveyard. Don't see these things. See the promise of God. God promised us. It's up to God to take care of it. Yes, sir.
Now, I know that death's got to strike everyone. Death comes to us all, but sometimes, just because of unbelief we give up and go to a premature grave. God don't want us to do that. He wants us to trust Him, and believe Him, and--and say it's so. And stay with it, because God...

L-35 Lazarus died, that's true. He rose again, and he lived a normal life for many, many years, because of the resurrection Jesus gave him. And then, 'course, he died again, because he will come forth in the resurrection. Jesus said he would come forth in the resurrection, but he has to go to his rest like all human beings. But until that time comes, let's not be cheated out of life, for service for God, 'cause it's Satan's business to cheat you out of it. Yes, sir. But God is El Shaddai (Amen.), the strong One, the breasted God. The Nurse, the--the Giver of strength to His sick children, when His children gets sick.
You say, "Well, I'm ninety years old."
So was Abraham. He was ninety and nine years old, but he was still just a little baby. God said, "Lean on My breast and nurse, Abraham." Amen. What was ninety-nine years to God?
