“Good man of the House”

SECOND MIRACLE ERIE PA 51-0729E

E-70 Now, look at my hand now since it's been on there a little bit. Now, now watch, when you raise your hand now, my hand will remain like that for a few moments. Now, you see, a few moments ago when your hand just laid there a little bit and it wen... You took your hand off, my hand turned normal just a way, didn't it? Now, move your hand, now watch how long it stays there. Now, look here; there it goes. See, see? See what I mean? Now, just lay your hand right back again, so the palm will hit on it. There it comes, see it coming again? There it is, see it swelling again, turning black. All right.

Look lady, I want you to come this way just a minute. So that, to make your faith. Now, in your case, it's going to take a challenge. And the challenge is going to be, is going to have to command that to go out. Now, if I have to rule it out by my own faith, for God has promised me that if I be sincere... It can leave you now, and you'll know it. But now whether it will stay away from you, that's different. Because when the unclean spirit's gone out of a man he walks in dry places. Then he returns back, is that right? And if the good man of the house isn't there to hold him off, he will come in.

JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY CHICAGO IL 52-0810E

E-57 Now, in here, I'm just a man, just your brother. And then, there's an anointing come in here, which you're aware of It now. See? You know it's something. I want you to watch, friends. Watch the patient's face when they come near here. Watch, when It's coming like It is now. Watch them change the expression on their face when they come. Just--just remember to watch.

And now, if the Angel of the Lord will come near, then the angel of sickness, which would be on you, he will go to pulling. See? The Angel of the Lord's near. Now, there's both powers. And they're fighting one against the other. Now, it depends on our faith.

Now, that sickness, whatever you have, if that is a pulling on you (You see?), it's going to try to try to put everything in your mind to keep you from believing that this is truth. See? And This, which is coming now, and me speaking to you, is trying to get you to believe that It's Truth. You see? Now, here's the warfare. If you will believe It, then this here, Holy Spirit, will pronounce the blessing; Satan has to leave; it has to be. Now, if you don't... Now, after when, he goes away, you'll maybe get, right away feel better. He walks in dry places. And he returns back with a symptom, worse than he ever was, seven times as bad, maybe. And when he does, if the good man of the house isn't standing there, that faith, say, "Get away."

DEMONOLOGY 1 PHYSICAL CONNERSVILLE IN 53-0608A

80 Well, that's the same thing takes place when a--a demon is cast out of a sick person. The first few days, "Oh, I feel wonderful." Then begin to say, "I'm--I'm sicker than I--than I ever was. I've lost my healing." Just as sure as faith took it out, unbelief brings it right back again. As faith kills it, unbelief resurrects it. Jesus said, "When the unclean spirit's gone out of a man, he walks in dry places and he returns back with seven other devils. And if the good man of the house isn't standing there to protect that door, he will come right on in. And the good man of your house is your faith, say, "Stay away." That's it.

LIVING JESUS CHRIST CHICAGO IL 53-0906E

E-39 Now, the thing it is, is a... is to get the difference between what is the Spirit of God, and what is the spirit of the devil. And then by the atonement in Calvary, that devil is cast out. And I'll assure you, if the believer will come and believe, right here presently no matter what's wrong with it, it'll take place right here. That's right. You've never seen it fail, and it--and it won't. But now, if you go out of here and disbelieve, or just with a little weak faith, it'll come right back on you, even worse than what it was in the first place.

For the unclean spirit goes out of a man, he walks in dry places. Is that right? Then he returns back, and if the good man of the house isn't there to keep him away... You must take God at His Word, not your feelings, but take God at His Word. Your faith keeps him away. Just refuse it. He will torment, and peck at your door, and haunt at your windows, but just turn your head and keep on looking forward towards Christ and going on.

Now, now, if Jesus was here, standing here tonight on the platform, which I believe He is, not only here, but He's all out through the audience. He's everywhere. But in these spirits.

HEALING LINE CHICAGO IL 53-0907E

E-28 Now, the good man of the house has to stand there to ward off. And the good man of the house is your faith, your faith in Jesus Christ. Well, if He'd come here and do what He's doing for you tonight, and you go disbelieve Him, why, it would be sinful. Would that be right? All right, now you go rejoicing.

DIVINE HEALING DES MOINES IA 54-0620E

E-2 You know, Jesus said, "When the unclean spirit's gone out of a man, he walks in dry places finding no rest. Then he comes back and brings seven other devils, worse than he was." And now, if the good man of the house (which is your faith) isn't standing there, ready to resent, well, then he will come in, and your last estate's worse than your first.

Then many times, people with a malignancy, or something, or tumor, or any kind of a growth, when it dies the life goes out of it, they get a relief right then. In a few days and you feel better. Then after about seventy-two hours, you start getting sick, really sick then, because that's a dead lump of flesh now. And then if it breaks up, it's--if there's no way for it to drop out, maybe, it's on the inside of...?... and so forth holding it, it'll drop down in the diaphragm or somewhere. Then you've got a lump of--of flesh in you that's rotten. Of course, your heart, the blood circulates and purifies the body, pumps through your heart. It makes the patient terribly sick, an infection, fever and everything. And then the person then says, "Well, I know when I was standing there, I was well for two or three days. But I guess I lost my healing." Well, that's the best sign in the world you got your healing. See?

DEEP CALLETH TO DEEP WASHINGTON DC 54-0624

E-29 Why, brother, sister, that's the best sign in the world you've got your healing. See? And then you start disbelieving, and just as sure as your faith taken the life away, your unbelief will bring it back again. See? It will, it'll resurrect it. Remember, Jesus said, "When they unclean spirit went out of a man, he walks in dry places. Then he returns with seven other spirits." Is that right? And the... So let the good man of the house...?...

No matter how you feel... It ain't what you feel; it's what you believe. Jesus never did say, "Did you feel it?" He said, "Did you believe it."...?... God bless you. All right.

IT IS I BE NOT AFRAID CHICAGO IL 54-0720E

E-33 …I've seen blind standing on the platform, not on this platform, but plat... and could read that Bible, come back two days later and couldn't see their hand before them. They got among unbelievers. When the unclean spirit's gone out of a man, he walks in dry places, returns back with seven other devils worse than he was. If the good man of the house isn't standing there to protect that man, then he will come in and by power overcome him. But the good man of your house is faith to say, "God has said so."

WHAT IS THAT IN THINE HAND MACON GA 55-0611

E-9 Now, the reason I did that sister was this: that you might be encouraged. I've prayed for many things that I--I--I didn't get, but I don't believe as before our Maker tonight, ever sincerely, I asked God for anything sincerely like that, unless He give it to me or told me why He couldn't. See?

Now, that inch and a half of that little... That baby's head is shrunk within about eighteen or twenty hours. That's to encourage you. See? Now, just keep on believing. See? Now, it'll--it'll do that way for about seventy-two hours. Then you'll notice, you just keep cutting your string off. It'll stop. It may get worse for a little while. No matter what happens, you just keep on believing. You see? And as long as you'll keep your faith...

Now remember, when the unclean spirit is gone out of a person, it walks in dry places and returns back again with seven other spirits worse than it was; and if it can, it'll enter in and take over, and the condition will be much worse. But if the good man of the house isn't there, which is your faith to keep it away... Just don't fight at it. It'll fight you back. Just refuse; just ignore it. That's all. Just go on. Just say it's over; that settles it for good. And you're baby will get all right. Now, the Lord bless you.

LIFE IS THE HEALER INDIANAPOLIS IN 57-0611

E-43 What is it? That dead growth in you, and it's breaking up and there's... As a heart beats, it pulls the blood, and it goes through the heart to purify the body. And any infection will cause fever. You know that.

And on the third day, you usually have sickness, fever; why, that dead growth is laying in you rottening away. But life is gone out of it.

Now, what did Jesus say about that? "When the unclean spirit's gone out of a man, he walks in dry places; and he returns with seven other devils worse than he was." And by force, if he can, if the good man of the house isn't standing there, your unadulterated faith, knowing that God has promised and has to keep His promise...

IT IS I BE NOTAFRAID PORT ALBERNI BC 62-0726

E-16 As faith killed it, unbelief resurrects it again. When the unclean spirit's gone out, he walks in dry places seeking rest. Then he returns again with seven other spirits. See? Now, if the good man of the house isn't there to war him off (that faith) when he returns... "I don't care how much I feel, what about it, I know I'm healed," that shuts him out.

Now, you may get real sick, because why? It's like an infection in your body. The growth dies, and then it rots. And the heart, every time it beats, it goes through and purifies the blood. We know that. The blood picks up this infection, 'cause you have fever and sickness, and you get worse off than you was the... And people think they've lost their healing, when actually that's a sign they got it.
