Chapter II

Can we have a revival before we get the sin out

of the church?

For years some evangelists have gone from church

to church hammering the saints over the head and

saying, "We are getting the saints ready for a revival.

Nothing can be done until the saints are ready, in line,

and are of one mind and one accord." Then about the

the time their poor heads are about healed, another

preacher comes along hitting them in the same spot,

accusing' them because there were no results in the

services. In many cases they were told that Sister S

must pull off her wedding ring, Sister J. should throw

away her powder, and Brother M. should ask his wife

to forgive him.

One time when I went to Louisiana to hold a revival,

a certain sister said during service, "We should not

try to have a revival as long as the church is in the

condition it is in." I told her that was the very time

they needed a revival. That sister thought negatively,

and sat back wondering how people could receive the

Holy Ghost every night, and. most every day for

seventy-five days in succession. If God must have a

perfect church before He can send a revival, and each

member is a part of His Church, then no church will

ever have a revival.

I went to a church with about a thousand members

to hold a revival. A thousand people were in the

building, while hundreds were turned away. About

forty people were filled with the Holy Ghost each

night. The pastor was a good man of God. He had a

private interview with me. He said, "Brother Grant,

I have been preaching for about forty years. Now I

have learned something: I have taught and- believed

that the church had to be in unity before anything

could happen. In this church my general superintendent

and a lady Sunday School teacher have been caught in

to be healed that he said with a loud voice, "Stand

upright on thy feet" (Acts 14:10.) It was after the

fortune-teller girl followed Paul around three days

that he was led by the Spirit to command the devil

to come out in the name of Jesus. It is when a man

tries to operate the Spiritual gifts with his own spirit,

without the leading of the Lord that he sees no results.

I have been prayed for to be healed of sugar diabetes.

I have seen people prayed for and not receive instant

healing. Must I keep taking insulin or not?

My advice to you is to be led by the Spirit, and d~

what you think is best. Itdepends on what you think

is best. It depends on what you think and not whatI think. Itis according to your faith. If you still have

sugar diabetes, perhaps you should continue to take

insulin. If you do not have sugar diabetes of course,

you don't need to take insulin. A crippled person walks

on crutches until he is healed; then he does not need

the crutches any longer.

There have been many people instantly healed of

sugar diabetes. We have many wonderful testimonies

in our files.

A lady in Brother Nelson's church in Dallas was

prayed for to be healed of sugar diabetes. In about

three minutes a purple paste came out all over her

body. She ran from one person to another saying that

the insulin was coming out through her skin! We saw

the purple-looking paste on her arms, face, hands and

neck. The next day she had not washed it off. She

went from house to house telling her neighbors, "God

has healed me of sugar diabetes. See how the insulin

is coming out!"

That caused quite a stir! I went to a doctor friend

in Dallas and told him the story. He said it was quite

possible, as that would be the color of insulin after

it came in contact with the blood stream. That has

been many months ago. I was back by Brother Nelson's

church a few nights ago. That lady is still telling

about her wonderful healing!

the basement in an immoral act, even while services

were going on in the auditorium.

This pastor knew what was going on among his

members, so he did not believe anything could be done,

because he thought negatively. I did not know what

was going on, so I believed. I thought positively. That

general superintendent and the Sunday School teacher

both prayed through one night and were filled with the

Spirit, after they saw what the Lord was doing. It is

not the condition of the people, but our negative way

of thinking, which hinders the workings of the Lord.

Sister J. does not have to believe for you to be

healed. Brother G. does not have to ask his wife toforgive him before you can be saved. Itdoes not requireSister S.'s faith for you to receive the Holy Ghost.

It is according to YOUR faith.

People were saved and healed in Jesus' ministry

even while Judas was walking near by. Simon believed

and was baptised, but his heart was not right in the

sight of God. That did not keep other people from

being delivered from sin and the devil. Simon did not

prevent other people from being filled with the Holy

Ghost when Peter and John came down to Samaria.

Recently I was in a church where there were six

different brands of full gospel people, all teaching that

the other group 'was wrong. People did not all believe

alike at the household of Cornelius. Some ate pork and

others did not, but they were all filled with the HolyGhost. It is not altogether the condition of other

people, but according to the way you believe. Even

if your husband does not pay tithes you can be healed

if you believe. It is according to YOUR faith.

Chapter III

Will sin in the church hinder the' progress of

that church?

In the first place, there is no sin in God's holy

Church. All sin is outside the Church. There is sin

-4-

in the organized, local church sometimes, which will

c~use a reproach and hinder the progress and the

testimony of that local church.

Even in the Old Testament days, when certain

battles were not won because of sin, that did not keep

people from being proselyted into the Jewish nation

and becoming a Jew. Even in our day, when some

professing church member does not live right, that

does not keep a repenting sinner from being saved.

Today is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted

time. Whosoever will may come. If a man wants to

be saved and is ready to quit sin, I will not tell himthat he cannot be saved because "Uncle Cha~lie" dips

snuff. I will tell him that "he that comes to the Lord

He will not cast out." Jesus never told anyone that he

could not receive forgiveness of sin because Judas

was a hypocrite.

At one time there was a saying that the parents

had eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth were

on edge. But in this day of grace, when the law of

grace supersedes the law written on tables of stone;

when the law of faith is stronger than the law of

sowing and reaping, everyone shall be put to deathfor his own sins. The father's sin will not keep the

son from being saved. The unbelief of the mother

will not keep the daughter from being saved if the

daughter believes. This is an individual affair with

God. (Jer. 31:29).

In a revival I do not tell a dying lady with a cancer

that she cannot be healed because the deacon back-

slid and ran off with another woman. Jesus did not tell

the woman with an issue of blood that she would have

to die because James and John had the wrong spirit or

because Peter had a devil. Even in the same letter

which stated that a man took his father's wife, Paul

told that same church that they came behind in no

gift; that people would fall down on their face and

report that God was with them of a truth; that they

-5-

8/2/2019 Perplexing Problems by W. v. Grant, Sr

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/perplexing-problems-by-w-v-grant-sr 5/18

could yet pray and turn that man over to Satan, and

yet have a revival. They did not let that one man's

sin hinder the revival. Even in our day we can band

together and pray that God will either deliver a man

that sins or get him out of the way and let the revival

keep going! I have no time for these "sincere people"

who have been taught that we can have no revival

because they get their eyes on certain people that

back-slide and go to the devil.It is not the sin of certain individuals that hinders

the revival fires from burning. Itis the negative think-

ing and believing of certain people who believe the

power of the devil is stronger than the power of God.

They have more faith in the devil than they do in God.

If the church must be perfect before we can get

people saved, filled, and healed, and if the church in-

cludes all the members - backsliders, hypocrites, and

snuff-dippers - then we will never have anyone saved,

filled or healed! The church would be dead, dead, dead!

Not because God does not have the power, but because

too many leaders stand up and preach doubt instead

of faith. Far too many people stand up and preach

for people not to expect anyone to be saved or healed

until we all "get in one mind and one accord." Even

on the day of Pentecost they were not all in one mind

and in one accord. Even you and your wife may not

get your minds together, but you can yet get yourhearts together and agree together in prayer. And

there is power in agreement, whether it is for bad or

for good. There is nothing so bad or so good, but

talking about it makes it more so.

Chapter IV

Is it all right to receive members into the church

on confession?

Yes, it is all right to receive members into the churc.h

that way if they believe with their heart. "By their

fruit ye shall know them." In the fifth chapter of

-6-

Galatians we see listed both the fruit of the Spirit

and the fruit of the flesh. Paul says that if we have

the fruit of the flesh we cannot see the kingdom of

heaven. Jesus says that one tree cannot bring forth

both evil and good fruit. Itmust be either good or evil.

We need ministers in the church today who can

discern spirits, in order not to fill the churches with

unregenerated people. Paul set certain people who

were spiritual in the church to judge. (1 Cor. 14:29)

As the pastor started to receive members into the

church at the close of our revival in Waco, Texas, the

Lord showed me that one man was not saved. Immedi-

ately, I went to him and prayed. He was delivered

from sin and went ahead and joined the church. In

one tent meeting a lady came forward and was healed.

Immediately she was saved before about two thousand

people. She said it was the first time she was ever

saved, although she was a member of a denomina-

tional church.

Just last Sunday in Manila, a good number came

forward and were saved. Then one lady told us that

it was the first time she was ever saved, although she

had belonged to a leading protestant church in that

city. Some members who have not been really born

again go back to serving Buddha.

John the Baptist would not accept people on confes-sion or by baptism. He told them that they would have

to bring forth fruit to prove that they had repented.

On the plane recently near Tokyo, I was talking to

some university teachers. I took them aside one by

one and asked them if they believed in Jesus. Each

said they thought Jesus was a good man. Then they

agreed that if Jesus was a good man He told the truth.

I showed them that Jesus claimed to be Christ and

Lord. Each confessed that he believed that He was

what He claimed to be, but I saw that they did not

have a change of heart. I did not count them as con-

verts. They already had five hundred gods. They

thought one more wouldn't hurt anything. There was

no conviction. There was no repentance.

When Phillip went down to Samaria and preached

Christ unto them many of the people were delivered

from devils and disease. There was great joy in the

city. Some today claim to be saved, but they have

not received joy, which is the fruit of the Spirit.

Before the disciples went to the upper room to receive

the Holy Ghost they had great joy. (Luke 24 :27).

Some people claim to have received the Holy Ghost

because they received great joy, but the disciples re-

ceived great joy before they received the Holy Ghost.

After the Samaritans received great joy, Peter and

John laid hands on them and they received the Holy

Ghost Baptism. One man slipped by Phillip, but not

by Peter. By the gift of discerning of spirits Peter

knew that his heart was not right with God, although

he believed and was baptized. (Acts 8:13). He was

almost taken in on "confession."

It is impossible to know how many thousands of

people received Christ in the Philippine revival. We

did not leave them as they confessed. We took them

and "showed them the way of the Lord more per-

fectly." (Acts 18:26). We taught them to give up

their idols. They received great joy. Then we laid

hands on them and saw them receive the Baptism

of the Spirit. During this time I saw that two of

them had not really been born again, although they

had confessed, and were seeking the Holy Ghost.

As I went to them God showed me their heart was

not right. Immediately they were delivered from sin

and were tilled with the Spirit.

A few mornings, faith seemed to rise high enough

for them to receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost

instantly. We prayed for a few deaf mutes, blind

people and those who were paralyzed, and when they

were instantly healed hundreds were filled with the

Spirit immediately. So that was more than just a

hand-raising, church-joining revival where people are

taken in on "confession." We wiII not know the results

until we tell it to each other in the great beyond.

Chapter V

Dear Brother Grant:

I believe in divine healing, but what bothers me is

this: Why is it that so many people who are Christians

die without being healed '!

SOLUTION: You can equally ask the following

questions: Why do so many Christians die in poverty

when the Lord promises to supply all our need'? Whydo Christians many times die before their time, when

the Lord promises to fulfill our days and give us

long life? Exodus 2: 3 :26. Why do many Christians

suffer agonies of death, when Jesus has tasted death

for every man? Heb. 2 :9. When He has promised

that we can go to sleep in Jesus without the sting of

death? Why do many Christians die without receiving

the Baptism of the Holy Ghost that is promised to

all? Acts 2 :39. There is a common answer: It is

because they do not lay hold on these promises by

faith and take what God has purchased for them. It

is because they do not take advantage of this promise.

"And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,

believing, ye shall receive" - Matt. 21:22.

Dear Brother Grant:I have the gifts of healing, but sometimes I don't

see any results. Since the Bible says that "the spirit

of the prophets are subject to the prophets," I under-

stand that if we have a gift we should use it when

we want to. .SOLUTION: That is right. The spirit of the prophet

is subject to the prophet, but the Spirit of God is not

subject to the prophet. We should be subject to the

Spirit of God. That means we should not use our own

spirit in any operation of any of the gifts. We should

keep our own spirit in subjection, and not try to

8/2/2019 Perplexing Problems by W. v. Grant, Sr

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/perplexing-problems-by-w-v-grant-sr 7/18

conduct a service with methods, talents, or traditions

of men. We should wait on the Spirit of God.

"... let us prophesy according to the proportion of

faith." Or if it is ministry, let us wait on our minis-terings etc. Romans 12:6.

Anytime we try to operate the Word of Knowledge,

the Word of Wisdom, Discerning of Spirits, Gifts of

Healing, Working or Miracles, Tongues, or Interpre-

tation, or any other gifts with our own spirit, we bring

a reproach on the work of God. God does not give us

all of His knowledge. He only gives us a Word of

Knowledge. We should tell people only what God tells

us and stop at that! We must not use the gifts. Thegifts must use us.

Dear Brother Grant:

I came to your service one night to be prayed for but. ,you did not pray for me. I'm puzzled and disappointed.

SOLUTION: Sister, you should have come back the

next night. If the Lord will forgive me for trying to

please people, I'll never try to please anyone but the

Lord from now on. I'll not try to operate the gifts,

but I'll try to let the gifts operate me.

Last Friday night I was in Clovis, New Mexico in a

church service. The Lord gave me a message on sal-

vation. I preached it. The Lord confirmed the Word

with signs following. Several were saved, I did not

have a healing line. Saturday night the Lord gave mea message concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

I preached it. Faith rose. Several were filled with

the Holy Ghost.

Sunday morning, to my surprise, I preached a mes-

sage to backsliders. Scores came forward to dedicate

their lives to the Lord. Sunday night I started to

preach a message, but the Lord began to heal people.

A woman arose and said that she was healed of a

blind eye the night before. (Although I did not pray

for her, she contacted the Lord and was healed.) In

a few minutes fifty-eight people testified that they

were healed in the Sunday night service. Some of them

had deaf ears for thirty or more years. They could

hear perfectly! A girl who had not breathed through

her nose properly all her life was healed. Then scores

of people came forward to be saved and filled. They

were there until almost midnight receiving the

Holy Ghost.

I hope I can always say, "My Father worketh

hitherto, and I work. I can do nothing of myself,

but whatsoever things He deeth, these also doeth

I likewise."

Chapter VIMay only one gift work at a time?

The gifts of the Spirit may work parallel with each

other. For instance, sometimes a man may receive

the Word of Knowledge. Then he also needs the Word

of Wisdom to know what to do with the Word of

Knowledge. God may show me the secrets of some

man's life. I could act unwise and tell it all publicly

to the whole audience. This could greatly embarrass

the man, or maybe cause a broken home or separation.

God reveals His secrets to them that fear Him. But

if we reveal those secrets unwisely then He may not

trust us with secrets in the future.

Last Sunday night in Las Cruces, New Mexico the

Word of Knowledge made me to know that someonewas present who could not breathe through the nose.

A lady came forward who had not breathed through

the nose properly all her life. She was healed by the

Gifts of Healing. People rejoiced when they heard

her breathe over the microphone! Then suddenly a

man came for prayer to be healed. By the Word of

Knowledge God showed me he was not saved. By the

Gifts of Miracles he 'was delivered from the bondage

of sin, and saved.

The Gifts of Healing will heal a man gradually, but

it takes the Gift of miracles to heal him instantly.

Is this true '!

Many people have been greatly confused by the

above statement, which builds doubt and uncertainty

in the hearts of people. This statement is made by

ministers who are afraid that God is not going to

work. They are already defeated.

Any time the Spirit of God makes a man well that

is the Spiritual Gifts of Healing in action, whether

the healing takes place suddenly or gradually. If nature

heals you that is natural healing. The Gifts of Healing

are not something that is little, weak, puny, and pitiful!

The Gifts of Healing will heal all manner of sickness

and all manner diseases or affliction.

All of the gifts of the Spirit are miracles. The Giftof Miracles includes any miracle that is not included

in the other eight gifts, such as casting out devils,

-laying hands on people and seeing them filled with

the Holy Ghost, raising the dead, dividing the Red

Sea, making the iron to swim, or stilling the storms.

God does not always divide the Red Sea, but He

forgives all our sins and heals all our disease. (Ps,

103: 1-3).

Jesus said that whosoever sins you remit they are

remitted unto them. How can that be?

That is right, but that does not bring out all t.he

thought. It was all spoken together, but man divided

it into verses. "Then Jesus said unto them again .

as my Father hath sent me, even so I send you .

Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whatsoever sins ye remit,they are remitted unto them; and whosoever sins ye

retain, they are retained." (John 20 :21-2~n

Jesus said that it was not He but His Father that

dwelled in Him that did the work. (John 14:10) After

we receive the Holy Ghost the Father dwells in us

also. (John 14:17) We then go in Jesus' name, act in

His stead, and do the works He did. (John 14:12) But

it is not we that do the work, but the Father that

dwells in us.

We can deliver people from sins just as easy as we

can heal them. (Mk, 2 :9) But we can do neither. It

is the anointing of the Holy Ghost that does both.

It is the Father that dwells in us that does the work

Any time the anointing of the Holy Ghost is present

to heal, people are not far from the Kingdom of God

(Luke 10:9) It is so easy for them to be delivered from

sin. In the healing line Sunday night God completely

healed several deaf ears instantly! BliJ1d eyes could

see! Stiff joints straightened. Then faith rose so high

that several people were saved in the healing line, and

several received the Holy Ghost. After that smal

church service, thirty-eight testified that they were

saved from sin. That is what happens after the anoint-

ing of the Holy Ghost takes control. It is the Fatherthat dwells in us that does the work.

Chapter VII

If Christ actually died for OUt· sickness, is not Hi

atoning work a failure, for there is more sickness

today than ever before'?

All through the Old Testament we read that when

one's sins were forgiven, or when bodies were healed

they offered an atonement. If healing were not in the

Atonement then why did they ,offer an atonement?

When the Children of Israel put the blood over the

door post they also ate the flesh of the lamb as they

marched out of the land. They were healed everyone

(Ps. 105:37). All who looked at the brazen serpent

were healed. Jesus said the brazen serpent was

type of Himself. (John 3 :14). Many times we read

that God told his people to make an atonement in

order that the plagues would stop, (Nurn. 16 :46

25 :13; II Sam. 24 :25). Everything we receive from

Christ comes through the Atonement.

If we deny healing we deny a great part of the

Atonement. If we substitute a hand-shaking religion

for a born again experience we deny the greater part.

If we deny the Atonement we have the anti-Christ

spirit, (I John 2:4).

If we say that the atoning work was a failure just

because one fails to accept healing, then the fact that

one is not saved, for whom you have prayed, also

proves Christ failed. We have more sinners today,

and people are more wicked, than ever before.

People today have a privilege to accept or reject

what Jesus has already purchased for them at Calvary.

If healing is in the Atonement would not the same

Atonement which forgives sins upon confession also

heal the bodies of God's people upon confession?

Before one can be saved he must confess what God's

Word says about forgiveness of sin. Before one can

be healed, he must confess what God's word says

about healing.It is after we receive forgiveness of sins that God

sends His Word and heals us. (Ps. 107:20). Healing

is the children's bread.

Because you teach salvation for the soul and tear

down the doctrine of healing for the body, some of

your people accept salvation and reject healing. You

are to blame for them dying before their time!

Confession alone will not forgive sins. The devils

confessed Jesus as the Son of God. You must have

faith in God's Word and apply it to your life. The

same is true with healing.

" ... and I will take sickness away from the midst

of thee." Jesus fulfilled the scripture, "Himself took

our infirmities, and bare our sickness" (Matt. 8 :17)

before He went to the cross. Does He any longer

need to heal '!

Jesus also forgave sins before He went to the

cross (Mk. 2). But it would be ridiculous indeed for

us to say He no longer needs to forgive sins! God

forgave sins from Adam until now. He has also healed

people since Adam's day. When David received for-

giveness of sins he was looking forward to the cross.

The blood'of bulls and goats could not take away sins.

When David was healed he was looking forward to

the cross (Ps. 103:3).

Death is also included in the Atonement. Why ar

not people raised from the dead?

Here you acknowledge that healing is in th

Atonement.

Death is in the Atonement. Christians may just g

Jesus has conquered death. But death in general w

be the last enemy that shall be destroyed. (I Co

15:26). Before that time we must all pass off of th

stage of action. But it is not the will of God for u

to die with cancer or any other disease.

Raising the dead is the gift of miracles and not th

gifts of healing. God has not promised to raise athe dead, but He promises to heal all our diseases

Just because we pray for the sick you tell you

members that healing is not right unless we rais

They will not believe you; you don't even believ

yourself.

"The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

(I Cor. 15:26).

Chapter VIII

There wiJJ be poeple come up to the judgment an

tell the Lord that they have cast out devils in H

Name and done many wonderful works in His Nam

and then the Lord will turn them away. Does thi

mean the Full Gospel people of our day who claim

to cast out devils?

To say that these people were ever saved is to tak

their word for it instead of the statement that th

They have used the name of Jesus with their mouth.

(Matt. 158.) They have put His name in front of

their great structures and temples, but they are

yet unconverted.

To say that they have cast out devils is to take

their word for it instead of what Jesus said. Jesus

says Satan cannot cast out Satan. (Matt, 12 :26.) He

says that a house divided against itself cannot stand.

No fountain, can send forth sweet water and bitter.

A corrupt tree cannot bear good fruit. Satan abso-

lutely will not come out unless a power stronger than

he comes in and binds the strong man and casts Him

out. The only power stronger than Satan's is the powerof God. A man without God cannot cast out Satan.

Satan does not cast out Satan. (Luke 11:22.)

One man tells me that the spiritual gifts are resident

in the believer; another says they are resident in the

Holy Ghost; a third man says they are resident in

the Church. Which one is right?

All three men are right.

First: The spiritual gifts are in the Spirit. They

are given by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit divides

them to every man as He wills. There are no spiritual

gifts apart from the Spirit. All nine gifts are in the

Holy Ghost. Second: The Holy Ghost dwells in us. Our

body is the temple of the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit).

(1 Cor. 6 :19.) The Holy Ghost comes in us to abide'

forever. (John 14:17.)Our body becomes the taber-nacle for the Spirit. Third: The Church is a group of

Spirit filled believers. We are the Church. The church

is not an organization, but an organism. We are mem-

bers of the body of Christ. The Church is not creeds,

rituals, or doctrines. The Church is not a meeting-

house, but a building not made with hands. Each of

the Spirit-filled believers is a stone in that building.

It is very plain that the gifts are in the Holy

Ghost, the Holy Ghost is in the Church, but we are

the Church.

We find in the Bible that by one Spirit we are all

Neither group is right. In studying the Bible w

see that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is a differen

experience from being saved, or conversion. Y

cannot receive the Holy Ghost until after you a

Chapter IX

I have gone to several healing campaigns, but

have never seen a miracle. What do you think is wrong

I have gone to healing meetings myself, for twenty

five years, and I have seen very few miracles. I harather not see with my natural eyes, for they a

prone to doubt, or to have a question mark in them

My natural reasoning might hinder God from doinHis work.

I remember one night at a little church in Arkansas

a few years ago, I told them that there was a man

crutches. The men cut the cast off. He ran all ov

the house, perfectly well, but I did not see that miracle.

I saw him before and after. I saw the manifestations.

Gary Hathcock, of Wynedot, Michigan shot his eye-

ball with a B. B. gun. The doctors operated on that

eye, leaving it small and rather square shaped. He

was to be totally blind in that eye for life. They said

it would be a miracle if the other eye did not go blind.

We prayed for him in the hospital in Detroit. About

three days later they brought the boy to our meeting

in Flint, perfectly whole. Both eyes were the same size

and shape. Both of them were perfect!

Mrs. Manning from[Baird, Texas came to our meeting

in Breckenridge, Texas. God showed me that a lady

was there who was totally blind in her left eye. She

came forward and could see fine print by the time

she got to the front. Her eye was perfect. She had

been totally blind in that eye for fourteen years.

On the plane on my way to Collinville, Illinois to

a tent meeting, God showed me that there would be

a woman there with a total blind eye - with the

eyeball paralyzed. I called for her when I began to

preach. She came forward and was instantly healed.

I did not see the miracle. I was not looking with my

natural eyes. I saw it with my spiritual eyes on the

plane before I arrived.

In out tent meeting in Malvern, Arkansas, two

people were there with cancers on their faces - a man

and a woman who did not know each other. Afterprayer both of these testified that the cancers fell

off their face. One fell off under the tent. Many people

saw them before and after. I did not see the miracle.

The other night a lady came for prayer who had one

eardrum missing. She was totally deaf in that ear.

After prayer she could hear a whisper. The ear was

just like the other one. That miracle took place on the

inside of her head. I did not see it.

A man outside the church told me that he was a

sinner and wanted to be saved. As I prayed he rejoiced

and accepted the Lord. Itwas a great miracle, but I

did not see it as it took place inside the man. Th

Spirit is like the wind. You can't tell from where

came or where it goes. You hear the sound thereof.

A Baptist man who had been a teacher ill the army

and a noted wrestler, came to the prayer room abou

three weeks ago. I started to pray for him, and he wa

gloriously filled with the Holy Ghost. I saw no miracle

I saw only the manifectation.

If I had my choice of seeing an angel with my natural

eyes Or not seeing- one, I would choose not to se

one. If I had my choice of hearing God speak to m

in an audible voice or hearing Him with my spiritual

ear I would choose the latter. Why? Because it is morereal to me. My natural senses may fool me, but not the

spiritual ones. I would be prone to doubt the natural

senses, but never the spiritual senses.

Chapter X

What does it mean when the Scripture says that

God hated Esau?

One place in the Bible we see that no man ever hated

his own self. (Eph. 5:29). Another place we see that

we must hate ourselves (Luke 14 :26). We see that

we must come unto Him hating our kinsfolk. We also

read that Jesus loved His kinsfolk. (John H) :26).

When we search the Scriptures we find that there

are two kinds of hatred: one is the fruit of the flesh

the other is the working of the Spirit. One is of the

spirit of the devil. (Gal. 5 :20). The other is of the

Spirit of God. (Prov.6:16).

There are two kinds of jealousy. God is a jealous

God. (Ex. 20 :25). Paul was jealous with a Godly

jealousy, which is the fruit of the Spirit. But there i

a jealousy which is the fruit of the flesh. This God

is against.

There are two kinds of anger; one is a righteous

anger, the other is the fruit of the flesh. Wrath is the

fruit of the flesh. (Gal. 5:20-21).

When Jesus became angry He was not angry with

the fruit of the flesh. Under the anointing of the

Holy Spirit, He was angry at the devil. (Mark 3:5).

When we have this kind of anger we fight not against

flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness.

(Eph.6:12).

We were having a real battle in a revival service

in Vidor, Texas. I did not give up, but became angry

at the devil with righteous anger. I was determined

to fight the battle through. I went home feeling as

though I had made a failure, but the next night God

gave us victory - about. fifty prayed through. A lady

gave the report that she was healed of cancer, after

the doctors had given her up to die. We must be angry

at the devil, but not take our spite out on people. We

must not stand and preach or testify against people.

We must preach them in instead of out.

After we are saved must we reap what we sowed

while in sin?

My aunt said that her boy would be a drunkard

because his daddy was a drunkard. She did not believe

that he would be saved because her husband had to

reap what he had sown. According to her faith so it

was; her boy was a drunkard.

I refuse to believe that my boy must drink because

I drank when I was a boy. The law of faith supersedes

the law of sin and death (Romans 8 :2), just as the

law of faith is stronger than the law of gravity, and

caused iron to swim. (II Kings 6:6).

A good man came to me and told me that he could

not be healed because he was reaping what he sowed

while he was in sin. I told him that he did not need

to reap the wages of sin, that although he brought it

on himself God would forgive him. and heal him. He

was delivered.

If everyone had to reap what was sown regardless

of being forgiven, then no one would be healed, for

we bring afflictions upon ourselves because of the

way we live, act, eat, dress, etc., or by the way we

believe. The curse does not come without a cause.

(Prov. 26 :2). This does not mean every time that on

is sick because he sins, but he may ignorantly di

obey the laws of nature, or health, and he must suffe

for it until God heals him. But God heals all of ou

diseases, regardless if we brought them on ourselves

I (Psalms 103-1 :3).

Chapter Xl

Do healings last?

Anything that God does lasts. However, Jesus him

self told a man, "Sin no more lest a worse thing com

upon thee." - John 5 :14. Jesus did not say that

would; He said it could. There is no protection whe

you go back into sin; Satan may bring a disease upo

you at any time.

The exact thing that God delivers you from does no

come back, it is usually something worse. For instance

I was healed of the itch. It did not come back, but

caught the itch again. One woman worried until sh

had a cancer. She was healed. She continued to worry

and another cancer came on her, not the same on

Are there people who stay right with God who hav

kept their healing?

One lady in Little Rock, Arkansas who had bee

deaf and dumb for thirty-seven years, was singin

specials in church eighteen months later. Another lad

in the same town who was also healed, could still hea

a watch tick one year later.

Two weeks ago I was in Waco, Texas, and a certain

man came to the platform and told the audience tha

he still had his healing which he had received fi

years ago. He had been totally blind in one eye fo

sixty-three years. He can still see perfectly.

Do not some people who are healed of cancer late

die with cancer?

It is possible for one to have another cancer afte

he has been healed of one, just. as it is possible for on

to sin again after he is saved. However, I can tak

you to a number of congregations and ask them ho

many have been healed of cancer for as long as ten

years, and there will be scores raise their hands.

We prayed for one Methodist lady, and she ~as

healed of an incurable cancer. One year later she died.

The people said that she died with cancer. Later, her

children wrote me that they sent specimens to five

different parts of the United States, and all five

sent back the same reply, stating that she did not

have cancer.

How does one die if God always heals?

One does not need to be sick to die. You can go to

sleep in Jesus, and sleep the sleep of death. The Lord

does not want us to be like a rotten apple that falls off,full of worms, before it is ripe. We can live to be a

ripe old age.Do the great revivals last where people come to God

by the hundreds'! .Jesus gave a parable of the sower showing that only

twenty-five per cent fell on good ground and brought

forth fruit, so you see, it depends on the ground. A

lot depends on the church that takes care of those

converts. If one hundred chicks are hatched out and

half of them die, that does not prove that they were

not hatched - it shows that they were not cared for.

Are churches built as a result of these healing

revivals?It depends on the follow-up program. It depends on

what the pastor preaches; whether he is for or .agamsta healing meeting. It depends on whether he IS after

members or souls. Just one revival won't last. ?ne

shave won't either. We must strive to keep the revival

spirit in our churches continually.

Chapter XII

Must one throwaway his remedies when he is

prayed for?It is according to your faith. Some people have

faith to throwaway their medicine or crutche.s and

go without them, but others don't have that faith. It

is up to them as to what they should do. Don't YOU

tell them what to do. Let the Lord lead them.

The next day after I was prayed for I threw m

medicine down in the woods. Why? I had the assurance

that I would be all right. In two months I had gained

twenty-five pounds. Now I have been healed twenty

five years.

You should put forth some effort and believe Go

after you are prayed for. Take your arm out of th

sling and try to use it. Try to get out of the whee

chair and walk. Re-gain use of your arm keep usin

it. You can put a well arm in a sling for a year an

lose the use of it. You gain use of it by using it ayou can. If you see that you can move your legs an

walk some without your wheelchair; keep moving them

and try to walk alone.

In Denton, Texas we prayed for a lady. The nex

morning she could get out of her chair for the firs

time in years. The next day she walked by pushing

chair. In a few days she was carrying five gallons o

water up the hill. In a few more days she was traveling

from state to state telling people the good news.

If you were a deaf mute, and were prayed for, try

to talk and hear some, then do not use your sig

language anymore. Gain use of your ears and tongu

by using them. It is more convenient to use your sig

language which you have used all your life. Of course

you are in a new world, but you must not be so lazy

You must learn! Learn! Some people go to Germany

and learn German. Others stay there for years an

never bother to learn the language, because it is mor

convenient to keep talking their own language.

You must learn a few words each day, until you ca

carryon a conversation without your old "crutches,"

or sign language. If you keep using the sign languag

you will never learn to talk.

At this writing I am in a revival. Last night a youn

man received a very beautiful healing. He was totall

deaf in his left ear. He could only hear a very little i

his other ear with the aid of a strong hearing instru-

ment. He had been that way since he was one year

old. When I tested him he could hear a small watch

tick with either ear. Naturally he kept reading lips.

His mother must be patient and teach him the sound

of words. It will be harder for him to learn than for

someone who has never learned to read lips.

I advised that boy to keep the hearing aid out of

his ear. He did not realize that the hearing aid could

become a "doubting stick" to him. 1 explained to the

boy: "I can talk better by speaking over this public

address system; yet there is nothing wrong with my

speech." 1 formed the habit of talking over the micro-phone and can hardly do without it. One who never

had that experience can't imagine how it is, but you

can actually hear better over the loud speakers. 1

could have put that hearing aid in my ear and heard

better with it than without it.

This boy should train his ears to hear normally just

as we hear. He must step out by faith. Faith without

works is dead, being alone.

A deaf mute was healed in Evansville, Indiana. I

asked her if she could hear my watch. She said "just

a little." It was not supposed to sound as loud as the

organ, but she did not realize that fact. She had to

be taught the difference. If praying for people would

take the place of learning, then I could lay my hands

on my boy and pray; then he would never need to goto school.

Why do greater miracles take place in tent meetings

than in churches?

That is not true.

It is true that more miracles take place in some tent

meetings than in some churches; it's because there are

more people - that. is, in union meetings. Usually there

are more sinners in a union tent meeting, therefore,

there are more people saved. If there are more people

on who Jesus waa, and not on who she was. She came

with a repentant heart; she came with the right

approach and attitude. She was saved instantly, with-

out saying one word! This lady was saved even before

she joined a church. She was saved before she was

dipped under the water. She was saved before she

made resitutions. Jesus did not say, "I'm going to

watch her a month to see if she joins a certain church,

or if she asks a certain sister to forgive her before I

pronounce her saved." He said, "Thy sins which are

many, are forgiven you." I believe what Jesus said.

After the business lady was saved instantly, and so

easily, others saw that the power of God was present

to deliver, they also came and were delivered from sin

instantly. One man who had been a backslider for

about twelve years came in the healing line. He was

instantly delivered from sin also. The power of God

did it! He accepted what Jesus had already purchased

and paid for. About that time another lady began to

shake and tremble under God's power. She was saved.

It was impossible for us to know how many were saved

in the audience as they also began to shake and tremble

under the anointing of the Spirit. Without saying a

ord with their mouth they cried out to God in their

eart and were forgiven, then confessed Him with

heir mouth.

"As a man speaketh in his heart so is he." Othersorship the Lord with their lips, but their heart is

ar from Him. That is why it takes them longer to

12:32). You see Jesus did all works under the anointin

sin. He will not leave you unless you truly ask Him

to do so, from the depth of your heart. You must do

so wilfully, maliciously, and purposely.

Have you deliberately turned Him away forever

and for the last time? If you have you know it. If you

don't know it then you haven't. If you have not decided

from your heart that you will never have the Lord,

if you have not told Him to leave you forever, then

you still have a good chance.

AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAVES A MAN

FOR GOOD, THEN HE BECOMES AS A NATURAL

BRUTE BEAST.

His conscience becomes seared as with a hot iron.He has no more conscience than a hog. He would not

know right from wrong any more than a hog would

know what your rug was if you brought him into

your living room. His mind and conscience becomes

defiled. Just as you would put a hot iron to a raw

piece of meat, and cause it to be seared, the man's

conscience is seared. He will never, never become con-

demned about anything else while he lives. The rea-

son he is never condemned again there is nothing there

to condemn him. The only agency that may condemn

him of sin has taken its flight!

Are you as a brute beast? Is your conscience defiled?

Do you still feel condemned when you sin? If you don't,

then why don't you steal, lie, curse, and murder? You

must not be in that group!You talk as if you still have a heart of flesh. You

talk as if you still feel condemned about sin.

AFTER THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAVES A MAN, HE

RECEIVES STRONG DELUSIONS.

He is deceived into thinking right is wrong and

wrong is right. He does not know right from wrong.

He no longer knows what sin is. He received seduc-

ing spirits and doctrines of devils. He goes into false

doctrine. He denies the doctrines he once believed,

such as the Virgin Birth and Blood Atonement, or the

doctrine of holiness. He justifies himself in the things

he once taught against. He is deceived into really be

lieving false cults and doctrines of devils. He goe

into a way that seems right unto man, but the way

thereof are the ways of death. He does not realize

his condition. He is deluded. When a man is lost h

really thinks that he is not lost. When a man is deluded

he really thinks he is right, when he is not. He doe

not realize that he has sinned against the Holy Ghost

Have you given up the fundamental truths which

you once believed, such as the born again experience,

the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, and the doctrine o

holiness? Have you accepted and believed doctrines

of devils, gone into apostacy, and denied the Lorthat bought you?

Have you denied that Jesus is the Christ? Hav

you fallen away as the Jews did when they denie

Christ, crucified Him afresh, and went back into Juda

ism (HeO. 6 :1-6). Have you purposely and deliberately

and "wilfully" asked the Holy Ghost to go away an

leave you alone forever? (Heb. 10:25).

Do you still know what sin is? Does the Holy Spir

still condemn you when you sin? Then He has n

left you. Then you have not become as a brute beas

longer willing to quit sin. He is no longer willing to

walk in holiness and serve the Lord. Are you still

willing to live right and sene the Lord? Then you

are in the group that can come to Him. For the Lord

is saying that whosoever will, may come. That includes

you! If you are still willing you may come. "Whoso-

ever will let him come ann take of the water of life

freely." That includes everyone except those who are not

willing. "Whosoever" includes you if you are willing!

A man who has sinned against the Holy Ghost really

thinks he is right when he is wrong. That does not

include you; for you think you are wrong when you

are right. The trouble with you is this: After the

Lord forgives you, then you are not willing to forgiveyourself. You still condemn yourself when the Lord

does not.

The Lord says if we confess our sins He is faithful

and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from

all unrighteousness. That includes everyone except

those who are not willing to confess that sin is sin.

Anyone who is willing to confess that sin is sin can

be forgiven!

In the day that you seek the Lord with all your

heart He will be found. Everyone that seeketh findeth.

A man who has sinned against the Holy Ghost has a

heart of stone. He is not willing to seek with all his

heart. He is not willing to seek, for he does not know

his need of the Lord.

Your condition is this: Satan is lying to you, andtelling you that there is no use. Satan only tells people

that who have not gone too far. Satan is not after

those he already has. Those who have crossed the

dead line, he tells them that they are alright. Their

conscience is seared. Satan is a liar. He abideth not

in the truth.

You have believed Satan up until now. If you believe

God, then you will stop believing what Satan says,

and begin to say what God says, "Whosoever will may

come". Will you?
