Symptoms is something like, say tomorrow, when you go home now, to your place, the express agent will come up and say, “Are you Mrs. Doe?” “Yes.” “I have a present for you.” “All right. What is it?” He hands over a—a basket, or box, and you hear something hitting in that box. You look in it. It’s a big box of snakes, rattlesnakes. Well, you don’t want them things. Well, you say, “I don’t want them.” “Oh, but they’re yours. Somebody sent them to you. Here’s your name. Here’s the name. It’s somebody sent these snakes to you; they’re yours. You have to take them.” Now, in one sense of the word they’re yours, in another sense they’re not. Somebody sent them to you, but they’re not yours until you sign for them that you’ve received them. And when you sign you received them, then they’re yours. But if you refuse to sign for them, he has to take them back to the express company. The express company has to send them to the one that sent them to you. Is that right? Well, don’t sign for nothing the devil brought. No, sir. Just refuse to have it. No, sir. Say, “I just haven’t got it. Devil, you take it all back. That’s all. I won’t have it.” Refuse to have your sickness, your arthritis, whatever it is, “I just haven’t got it. By His stripes I’m healed.” Stand right on your ground. Confess it. Believe it. Stay there. God will bring it to pass. No matter what it is, just believe Him.
