His Writings: from The Art of War  page 4

...In the beginning of our national history the whole battle was on the line of the supernatural. Moses cast his rod down and it became a serpent. The magicians did the same through the power of the devil. Moses stretched forth his rod and the waters became blood. The magicians did the same thing. It was miracle for miracle. Moses smote the dust and it became lice; the magicians essayed to do so and failed. When they failed they backed out and said, "Pharaoh, it is no use; this is the finger of God." It will be force against force; power is to be the keynote of the last campaign. All your talk and theory don't amount to that [snapping his finger]. Theories are dead and lifeless. The way to have power with God is to be absolutely in line with God at every point in His plan "for the perfecting of the saints." "God gave . . . apostles . . .prophets. . .pastors, teachers" and so on, that He might have an orderly church; the gates of hell cannot prevail against such and, more than that, the orderly church will prevail against the gates of hell.

THAT IS WHY AMONG DENOMlNATIONS TODAY YOU CANNOT GET DIVINE HEALING, AND ANY PERSON THAT IS SICK--HEAR IT, METHODISTS, HEAR IT, BAPTISTS, PRESBYTERIANS, EPISCOPALIANS, EVERY DENOMINATIONAL BODY ON THE FACE OF THE GLOBE--HAS TO COME TO SOME POOR, DESPISED-OUTCAST WHO HAS SEPARATED HIMSELF FROM THE MIXED  DIVISIONS IN ORDER TO GET THEIR POWER FOR HEALING. SHAME ON YOU, TO COME FOR OUR PRAYERS WHEN YOU ARE SICK AND DESERT US WHEN YOU ARE WELL! GOD SEES THAT SHAM; GOD WILL JUDGE THAT HYPOCRISY; GOD WILL DEAL WITH YOU AT THE JUDGMENT BAR A LITTLE HENCE.
