Now, believers, here’s what’s the matter with you. You’re afraid to take the initiative. You’re afraid to stand and claim your God given privilege. See? And the devil actually leaves, and when he goes out, then you feel better for a few days, and then after while, you say, “I’m getting sick.” About seventy-two hours, a real case…’less it’s a miracle, just Divine… Now, there’s a difference between gifts of miracles and gifts of healing. Does anyone know that? They are two different gifts altogether. Now, healing, when the regular procedure, that person will get just real good for a few days, then they get real sick. What’s the matter? That big lump of cancer in there is dead tissue, no life in it. It’ll begin swelling—swelling, and oh, you get sick. Why? Your heart beats your blood through, purifying your body. Every time it beats, it goes through. You’ll have fever. Just get an abscess on a tooth and it’ll cause a fever. Any kind of an infection will cause a fever.
