If your—if you keep your stomach empty, the blood is at your brain, and you must be ready. And if you’re all full when you’re…That’s the power of fasting. When you’re—when you’re full, the blood goes into your stomach to digest your food. You see? And then when you’re empty, it’s in your—in your brain. So you can be just…’Cause them two spirits is so close it could deceive the very elect, if possible. And many pe—many times you hear It cry. I’ve heard people shout. Now, as I told you, I hope I—God that has let me find favor with you that you believe me. I’ve heard people shout when it wasn’t God. I’ve heard people cry when it wasn’t God. See? And their sympathy sometimes, the devil wants to be petted. And it—it takes a real sheep raiser to know the difference between the bleat of a goat and a lamb; they’re so close together. You see? And so therefore, on this platform, you must be very careful. Can be just one thing is all that Satan wants to—wants to throw out before the public. So therefore, I have to be fasting, prayerful, every minute on the guard, watching for something.
