You have to…Look at Elijah. That young prophet was bald-headed, and them little children teasing him about being bald-headed. Said, “Thou bald head. Thou bald head. Why didn’t…” You know what he said? That prophet turned around and put—cursed those children and said, “Cursed be,” I suppose in the Name of the Lord, and before those little children returned into the city, two she bears killed forty-two of them little innocent children. Is that Scripture? Poor little innocent children, but an angered prophet. Better be careful what you’re doing. See? That’s right. So that’s the way it is here. I want to see what you’re doing before you put a curse a disease…What if God had put something on a person, or permitted Satan to do it, and you and I would come around with a Divine gift and take it off before God’s will was accomplished? Then God will deal with me. See? Have to be careful.
