...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. |
