What if someone came up in the morning to your door, express agent, and throwed a whole basketful of rattlesnakes, and had your name on them. Said, “Here they are; they’re yours.” You know they’re there, just like you know your symptoms is there. If you receive them, they’re yours. But you don’t have to take them. You can say, “I don’t want them.” Say, “Your name’s on them.” Say, “I don’t want them. I won’t have them.” He can stand there and argue as much as he wants to. But until you take them and sign for them, they belong to the express company until you sign for them. Don’t sign for nothing the devil brings. You say, “There it is, though I refuse to have it.” That’s right. “Take it back.” Have nothing to do with it.” If you won’t testify that you’ve got it…When you testify you still have your sickness, the devil keeps it with you. But refuse to testify of it. Say, “I won’t have it. No, sir.”
