<TITLE>09. Par 81-90</TITLE>L-81 And we find that He said, that, "Satan, has misquoted the Word to that unbeliever, and the unbeliever knowed no different. But the one that believed It, knowed just exactly what It said, and held onto It." See? See? What their claims was, they couldn't prove it. But they claimed it, themselves, and they was.

L-82   Like we claim to be saved. They say, "Well, show me how you're saved." My life proves I'm saved. The way I act, proves whether I'm saved or not. No matter how much I testify about it here, you'll know how I live whether I'm saved or not.

L-83 Same way it is by healing. If you accept it and believe it, you're going to act like it. There is going to be such a change in you! There is nothing can take it out of your mind, no more than your salvation. It's God's Word. You've got to accept it on the same basis.

L-84 "By faith you are saved." Jesus said to the woman that touched His garment, He said, "Thy faith has saved thee." Now, I'm not a scholar by a long ways, but I have looked up a few words. Now that word there comes from the Greek word sozo, which means, "saved," just like materially saved or spiritually saved. "You're saved, sozo." He saved her from a prematured grave, just the same as He saves you from hell. Sozo, the same Greek word is used. Notice, "Thy faith has sozo, saved thee from the sickness that you had." Notice, same word every time.

L-85   "Again calling the attention now, the prosecutor has misquoted the Word, and God never said that they would jump up, right quick, as soon as they had hands laid on them. But He said, 'They that believe, would recover.' That is, if he believes! It's only to believers.

L-86 "And again the--the defense witness wants to call the attention, to the court this afternoon, that, God said that His Word was a seed. 'The Word is a seed that a sower sowed.' If this soil, Seed falls in the right kind of soil, that's got enough fertility in it to make this Seed spring to life, quicken it, it'll live."

L-87   Now when a man plants a seed. If you're a farmer, or know anything about planting any seed; if you plant a seed today, some corn, say, you put it in your garden. And tomorrow morning you'd go out and dig it up and look at it, and say, "Well, there's no difference in it." You plant it back. And the next day, you go back, look at it, and say, "There is no difference in it." It will never come up. It can't do it. When you dug it up, you spoiled the picture right there. You've got to commit it to the earth, and then it's up to the earth to do the rest of it.

L-88 And every time that you look at your symptoms, testify about them, complain about them, God can never heal you. You commit it to God and believe His Word. He'll bring it to pass. Whether it's sprouting, whether it's whatever it's doing, you don't care. God promised it, and potentially you have your healing when you accept it. It's in seed form.

L-89   If I asked you for a oak tree, and you gave me an acorn, potentially I have a oak tree. And if I asked you for a ear of corn, and you gave me a grain of corn, potentially I have a ear of corn. Then I commit it to the ground, and water it, and keep all the weeds away from it, that would draw the strength from the ground around it, keep the weeds out. Then it'll automatically grow, because it's committed, and it's a germitized seed. Now if the seed isn't germitized, it won't. But if the seed has a germ of life into it, there is nothing can keep it from growing.

L-90   Someone said, "What do you think about the resurrection?"
