<TITLE>06. Par 28-33</TITLE>L-28 And up come a doctor to examine his eyes. He shook his head; he said, "He's blind."
And so I said, "Certainly, he's blind." But I said, "If--and if God gives him his sight, how many of you will serve Jesus Christ?" And just as far as I could see, oceans of black hands. Turned to the man, and said, "Lord Jesus, let it be known that Thou art God." The man grabbed me around the neck, and there set the mayor of Bombay setting there, grabbed him around the neck, see as good as anybody could.
What is it? It's--it's actually a power. God is God, and Satan is Satan. If you don't believe in a devil... When I first got started, I--I run headlong into him every day. Don't tell me there's no devil, because I know better. I have to fight with him every day. So I know there's--there is a devil. And you must be trained when you meet him; not trained in psychology, not trained in education, but trained by the Holy Spirit: God's power in His Word to make It manifest and know your enemy. Oh, what a cruel thing he is.

L-31 How I would like to stand here now and lay onto that, go back through the Bible and show you men back there who come face to face with it. How in the contest against the enemy, they fortified themselves by the Word of God. Noah had an experience of it, and he knew that God told him it was going to rain. And the contest was on between science and the Word of God. Science says, "It can't happen."
God said, "It will happen." Amen.
That same thing exists today. It will happen. It does happen. There is devils. But Jesus cast them out, and He gave His Church authority to do so, "Cast out devils in My Name." He cast seven devils out of a pretty woman one day. And He said, "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks in dry places, returning back then, bringing seven other devils with him." Now, that goes to show that if the man was cleaned of devils, there was something was in him had gone out. A devil had gone out. Now, when the devil moved out, that God--gives God an opportunity to move in. So--and when he goes out, let the Holy Spirit come in. Don't just leave it there. If you do, just repent of your sins and go on, then you're going to be worse off than ever. But get that place where Satan once lived and occupied, get it filled with the Holy Spirit of God, and then you'll have the strength of God's Word in you, manifested, and cast out devils. Contest is on. The evening Lights are shining. God's Holy Spirit is present.

L-33 And now, it's just about--about three minutes until the time that the whistles are going to be blown, and it will be midnight. Then as we leave this building to go to our different places and our homes, and to meet outside, and to meet the world, let's not go as we have in former times. Let's go in the power of His resurrection. Let's go in the Name of Jesus Christ, with a banner lifted high, and with faith in His Word to handle the two-edged Sword, with the shield and the full armor of God on to meet the enemy, because he's getting stronger and more powerful every day. As the--as the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God raises up a standard against him. If we have come to the end of these things that we--and the mysteries of God has been completed with us, we are looking for more strength, a rapturing strength to meet a worse force, that'll rapture the Church and take it into glory. We must have it. Let's meet '63 with a challenge, that we are the servants of the living God. And like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego of old, we'll not bow to the devils of this world and take back this thing that what we've talked about, but let's press the battle.
