Now, let me just show you a simple thing, friend. You get the two magazines; read them yourself, both—both articles. Now, the first thing, that if I—if the two spirits, Jesus said, in the last days…’Course them demon spirits is arising; sure they are. They’ve always been here. They will be until Jesus comes. And they live right in people and people don’t know it. They give them unclean habits and—and sicknesses, and diseases, and all kinds…Everything’s caused by a spirit. Deafness is a spirit. Did you know that? The doctor says the nerves went dead. But what made it go dead? What made it go dead? The Bible said, “When the deaf spirit come out of the man, he could hear.” Is that right? So it’s a spirit. A cancer’s a spirit. A tumor’s a spirit. All those things are…Epilepsy’s a spirit. Jesus rebuked the devil; the boy with epilepsy, and he fell on the ground and had the hardest fit he ever had. But when he got over that one, he was finished with it. See? Lot of them said, “Well, he didn’t get healed. Look at him; he’s got the worst spell he ever had.” But that was all of them. See?
