Question

Did Paul preach the visitation of angels?

Answer

Now, I ask you one thing. I ask you to believe that I told the truth, and believe first that this is the Word of God. And this is only a confirmation of His Word. Any preaching, any teaching that’s done outside this Bible is not the truth. Paul said, “If an angel from heaven would come preach any ot...

Man before he was this man, he was a spirit man. God made the first man in His Own image. How many says that’s right? Well, what kind of a image has God got? He’s a Spirit, is that right?

Does Jesus weeping at the grave of Lazarus show that He was not Divine?

Answer

She referred to Saint John 11. She said, “Going to the grave of Lazarus, He wept.” And said, “That proves that He wasn’t Divine, because He could weep.” I said, “My, my.” I said, “That argument is thinner than the broth made out of a shadow of a chicken that’s starved to death.” I said, “That thing...

Question

Why did the woman who touched the hem of Jesus garment feel virtue when the soldier who struck Him did not?

Answer

When you come be-…friend, let me say this to you: it’s your mental attitude, the way you approach anything. The woman that touched the hem of the Master, she felt virtue.

Question

Are demons actual beings, or just thoughts?

Answer

But on the platform many, many times, I see the spirit that leaves the person. They’re in all kind of shapes.

Question

Who does Mark 16 say will cast out devils?

Answer

But there’s one thing that I’ve always thought about. That God, by the power of His death at Calvary, has given to the church power to cast out evil spirits. Because Mark 16 said, “In My Name they shall cast out…” (Not, “I will”; “They will.”) “In My Name they shall cast out devils.” Is that right?...

Question

How can you tell a fortune-teller or mind reader from a genuine gift of God?

Answer

Not one of these mind readers out here, of this devil’s work. The devil has got a pattern for everything God has got. Do you believe that?

Question

Does the Bible anywhere say that a Christian dies?

Answer

There’s no such a thing as death to a Christian. There’s not one Scripture in the Bible that tells you a Christian dies. Very much contrary, we’re all alive.
