Negative Testimony
AT
THY WORD MINNEAPOLIS MN 50-0714
E-25
025 Only thing you can ever get
from God is by faith. And the reason that I say that they'll be delivered here,
or either told what's wrong with them, and told the reasons why that they can't
be, is because I believe what He told me is the truth. And for these years,
He's stood by. And I know He will now. It's because I believe it. Just believe
it, just with all my heart, and soul, and body, and mind. And you believe that.
And
then if your number is called tonight in the prayer line, and if God reveals
your heart and speaks to you, and gives you deliverance here; don't you never have no kind of
a testimony, only
that He healed you. 'Cause if you do, if you one time testify to the--to
the other side, the negative side, it'll come back to you worse than it ever
was. Just remember, if you can't accept it on those basis, don't come
at all. See? Don't come at all. 'Cause it would be embarrassing here before the
audience anyhow to be told that. And so don't come at all.
Because the
Bible said, "Go and sin no more, or a worse thing will come upon
you." See? Go and sin...
AS I WAS WITH
MOSES LA CA 51-0503
E-14 014 Let him that's weak say, "I am
strong." See? Just say in you heart that "I am now strong. I have
accepted Jesus as my Healer," and never have any negative testimony any
more, just believe it, God is under obligation, or Jesus Christ is--sitting at
the right hand of the Father to accept you; for He's setting there the High
Priest of your confession to make good before the Father anything that He died
for, that you're confessing that He done. There you are.
Now, Divine
healing cannot be any plainer than that. It's to the weakest. You do it... Any...
Remember, God's Word will defeat Satan anywhere, anyplace, anytime, and any
condition.
MY COMMISSION LA CA
51-0505
E-55 055 All right. Now,
everyone... Now, they're kinda maybe a little... Now, the ushers will see that
they come kinda in numerical order, 'cause I don't know just how that these
things will be. I just have to--to... as the Lord moves on...
Now, Everybody reverent now. Now, how many back there in the prayer
line now is going to believe with all your heart that--that you're--that you're
going to be made well. Believe it with all your heart, that you're going to get
well. Do you now commit yourself to the Lord Jesus and say, "I now accept
You, my heavenly Father, as my Healer. And by Your grace tonight, no matter
what happens, when I am coming through that prayer line, I accept Your blessings. And I believe
that when hands are laid upon me that I'll get well. I'll never have a negative
testimony no more.
I'm going to believe the Lord"? Will you raise your hands, say, "I believe that, and I
now confess that"? God bless you.
WORKS I DO BEAR
WITNESS TALLAHASSEE FL 53-0216
E-9 009 Now, healing is not
something that you just say, "Well, I... yeah, I believe it. I believe
it." Now, that's all right. If that's the best you can do, just mentally,
or just say, "Well, I... Yes, I--I see it. I believe that; I accept
it." Then if you accept it on those basis, keep saying it over and over.
Say it out loud. Say it over and over; just keep saying, "I'm healed. I'm
healed." Say it until actually you believe it. And when you believe it,
then it's going to take place.
Don't have
a negative testimony. Every time when you confess, "Well, I still feel bad
today. I guess I..." you go right straight back in the same rut that you
was in the beginning. There's not a man or woman in here that is baptized with
Holy Spirit but what would start your confession, "I believe I've lost the
Holy Spirit. I believe It's gone from me. I believe I..." you'll go right
down; you'll never... Can you...
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS
DEAD CHICAGO IL 53-0905
E-72 072 All right. Bring
the lady. You believe with all your heart? Believe Jesus Christ makes you well
right now? Go, thanking God, saying "Praise You, Lord. Praise You." Don't never have no negative testimony;
testify positive. "Jesus has healed me, and I'm well." Go and you
will receive your healing.
Say,
"Praise be to God."
All right. Come, young man. What do you think about this? You believe
it? You believe that nervousness is going to leave you? You believe it has left
you? You believe Jesus Christ takes it away from you. Then He has. Amen. God
bless you. Go and...?...
EXPECTANCY OWENSBORO KY 53-1108E
E-9 009 And if you come expecting to get help
from God, God will meet your expectancy. He always does. Wherever you go,
whatever you do, what you expect brings your faith. If you come saying,
"Well, there's nothing to it," that's just the way you'll go back
home, with nothing to it. If you come tonight saying, "Well, if I don't
get prayed for, I'll go home and won't be healed," that's just the way
you'll go. If you come here tonight saying, "I come for one sole purpose,
that is to contact Christ for my body or my soul," you'll go home just as
happy as you can be, for you'll contact Him.
Now, no matter
what the opposition looks like, Christ is the answer. Faith brings Christ.
Notice, could you remember? Eighty years old, white beard, white hair, and yet
the old man went around telling people that he wasn't going to die until he
seen the Lord's Christ. What a beautiful picture of faith.
Faith knows
no defeat. Faith is perfect. Faith brings things when there is no things to be
brought. Faith creates. Faith takes doubt away, takes negative and makes positive. How beautiful. The old man had a basis for faith. Faith is
not mythical, something mentally worked up, it's an absolutely, fundamental
result that happens in a persons heart. When faith is appropriated, then it is
something in the person's heart. But it can't be based on, say, "Well, go
touch a tree and you'll get well," or--or, "Pray to the--the
post." It's got to have a foundation.
LAW CHICAGO IL 55-0115
E-18 018 Now, Paul speaking
here of the valley, or the shadow, rather, the law, being a shadow of good
things to come, could never make the worshipper perfect. Then he goes on to
show what the perfection is. Now, it's a strange thing that this is so much
thought of people; they say, "Well, I'm weak; my faith is not very much;
I'm not a very good Christian." That's just what the devil wants you to
say. You're just talking his language right then. See? You mustn't never say
that. Don't never let
your testimony be negative;
let it be positive all the time. "I am saved. I have God in my heart. I believe
Him with all my heart." Do you believe in Divine healing? "With all
of my heart."
Let your--your testimony always and your thoughts, everything... Never permit a negative thought
to come in your mind if you can help it. When it starts that, don't entertain it.
Well, you say, "I can't help the thoughts from coming." Well, that'll
be like the farmer that said he couldn't stop--he couldn't stop the birds from
flying over his place, but he could sure stop them from roosting." So
that's a--that's a good thing. You see? You can't help the thoughts when they
come, but don't--don't--don't entertain them; just pass it on. "No, sir.
Jesus Christ is my Saviour; all things are mine by God. And I--I'm going to
keep them. I'm going to testify of them."
And God can only bless you as you confess that He has done it for you.
See, He's the High Priest of our confession. Is that right? Hebrews 3. He said
that He's the High Priest of our confession. He can only do for us as we accept it, and believe it, and confess it.
Oh, how... Maybe tomorrow afternoon, if God willing, I want to get
around to something that's on my mind so strong right now, on how to receive
the Lord Jesus. But maybe that'll be better in the Sunday school lesson
tomorrow afternoon.
PROOF OF HIS RESURRECTION JEFF IN
55-0410M
120 036 And may I say this
to you people today who's never received the Holy Spirit. I realize in the
church realms, we've got a lot of mockery. We got a lot that pretend to have
the Holy Spirit when they don't have it. That's right. So have you got in your
realms over there too, claim to be church members, and they're not. That's
right. So where there's a pro, there's a con. Remember that. Where there is a negative,
there's a positive.
Where there's a bogus dollar, there's a real one. And where there's somebody
mocking and pretending to have the Holy Spirit, there's a genuine Holy Spirit.
Remember that.
And the very
thing that'll help you, the very thing that will deliver you, the thing that'll
take you out of your prison house of habit, take you out of your prison houses
of fear and upset, thing that'll take you away from the cancer and make you a
living creature again, the thing that'll raise you up in the last days, stands
right near you, and you're scared of it. Don't be afraid. It's Him.
BLIND BARTIMAEUS SAN FERNANDO CA 55-1115
E-29 029 Now, I imagine as
he set there, God begins to deal with his heart and prepare for something.
Little did he know, just around the corner was the Fountain of Life.
Hallelujah.
Just around the corner, when
you get to thinking about Divine healing, get to thinking about Christ... Keep
Him on your mind. "If there be any praise, if there be any virtue,"
the Bible says, "think on these things."
If any
thought comes by, "Well, maybe it couldn't be so. Maybe..." Get it
off your mind right quick. Think on things that's positive. Never let a
negative thought pass through. The... Don't let it stop, anyhow, if it starts
to. Keep your thoughts positive: Jesus.
BLIND BARTIMAEUS SAN FERNANDO CA 55-1115
E-30 030 Don't think, setting there in a wheelchair,
you, that you're hopeless, helpless. You're not. Don't let that negative thought
ever pass through. Don't let it anchor. You can't help it from going through
your mind (That's right.), but don't let it stop.
Like the old farmer said, "I can't keep the birds from flying over
my place." But he had a double-barreled shotgun, said, "I can sure
keep them from roosting." So you do the same thing, and you too. See?
Don't let them roost. Let them pass right on through.
Now, here's the shotgun to use. Both New and Old Testament's a double
barrel, very good too. I'll tell you, It keeps them all away.
All right. Blind Bartimaeus setting there with all this passing through
his mind, "If I could've only been here when the great prophets come down
the road and walked down towards Jordan. I'd have stopped them for a few
moments for just a little talk, and ask them to pray for me. And I believe
Jehovah would've give me my sight."
GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS
HERE S PINES NC 58-0625
E-17 017 In the 12th chapter
of Saint Matthew's gospel, and the 24th verse, we wish to read for a moment,
these words. It's a little text that I've read many times, and spoke on it. And
the reason I taken it tonight, is because I could hurry with it, to get to the
point that I wish to get to, before prayer for the sick. And while I'm praying
and speaking, I want every person in here to have this in your mind, that as
soon as prayer begins to go for the sick, every one of you is going to get up
and walk out of the building well. Don't have nothing else in your mind. Keep
thinking that. "If there be any praise, if there be any virtue, think on
these things." You
cannot get anything from God with a negative thought. "He that cometh to
God, must believe that He is, and a rewarder of those that diligently seek
Him." Now, the 42nd verse:
And the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the utmost parts of the
earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is
here.
