Well, then, what does that? The devil. The—the germ is a life. First, the germ is a teeny little cell with a life in it. And that life only can come from two resources, either from God or the devil. And you came from the germ of life, by God. The cancer, tumor, or so forth, come from the germ of life by the devil. And he’s trying to destroy your life. He eats up your blood stream and—and different ways he works upon you. Therefore, I know that they are devils. Jesus Christ called them devils. And what He says is the Truth. They are the devil. Devil is a tormentor. He is here to tear up your body, to eat you up, to destroy you, shorten your “three score and ten,” if he can.
