Now, I believe that at—that tonight, I could say this…Outside I said I would tomorrow night. Now, when we come here to this—your city about five, four years ago, there gifts of healing was only working by holding the person’s hand. And if God will permit a cancer case tonight, I want to show it to my minister brothers, that the effect that that literally takes upon the human body. Nothing that I have in myself, it’s the beat of that demon power pushing back to me. That don’t mean nothing. I take hold of you in my hand and show you it just, swell a nearly, again its size, and white, big white things will run over the top of it, like that, holding that person’s hand. Now, what does it. I can’t tell you. My hand just gets numb. That don’t have one thing to do with Divine healing, no power at all to heal. That’s just a reaction. When my body becomes anointed with the Spirit, that’s that germ disease out there reacting back. Now, I can go down here and take a hold of a cripple, and it won’t work at all (See?), because there’s no active germ of disease there. If there is, it’ll tell me.
