I’ve seen people come to the platform that was totally blind, couldn’t even see their hands before them. And in less than five minutes, take this same Bible and read a chapter out of it. And so three or four days more, come right back just as blind as they was in the first place. They get out amongst unbelievers, and get out, and let Satan stand right… If you can read it here before the gift, you can read it out there anywhere, for God covers the whole earth. Just keep faith in Him. You say, “Well, that’s strange.” No, it isn’t, Gospel preacher. I felt that resented just a little bit. So I…Remember, spiritual things are spiritually discerned. A man can be here tonight and receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and be a real Christian right here tonight, and tomorrow be a real Christian, and a week from now, be in a barroom drunk. Isn’t that right? It’s when he loses faith in God and goes back. Same thing is by healing.
