What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have
them.-Mark IL: a.
The words of our text were spoken
by Christ to Simon Peter, as may be
seen by reading the context: "And
Peter calling to remembrance saith
unto him, Master, behold the fig tree
which thou cursedest is withered away.
And Jesus answering saith unto them,
Have faith in God; for verify say unto
you, That whosoever shall say unto
this mountain, Be thou removed, and |
be thou cast into the sea, and shall not
doubt in his, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come |
to pass, he shall have whatsoever he
saith" Satan, these are the words of |
him who does not lie. Hence, you are |
not only whipped, but your head is
bruised with a mortal wound, and'intO |
lake of fire burning with birthstone |
We shall be cast alive" Rev. 10: 10, |
20, 81. In the sixth chapter of John |
and the 80, 40, A and 54th verses
Christ says, "And this is the Fathers
will which hath sent me, that Of all
which he hath given me should lose
nothing, but should raise it up again at
the last day." "And this is the will of
| him that send me, that everyone which
seeth the Son (God in the fesh) and
believeth on him, may have everlasting
| life; and l will raise him up at the last
dav," mo man can come to
me, except the Father which hath sent
me draw him, aDd l will raise him up
at the last day" "WhOso
eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood
hath eternal life, and l will raise him
up at the last day."
Satan, "the last day" has come, and
you are my prisoner. Rev. 20: l, etc,
Though your deceived children do not
believe me (Acts 13: 40, 41). THE
Lord rebuke thee, o satan; even the
Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem, re-
buke thee: is not this brand plucked
out of the freP" Zech. 3: 2; Jude 9.
The devil is whipped at his own game.
Hence he can't find a man nor wo-
man among his deceived subjects
neither in church nor State that can
stand before "the sword of him that sat
upon the horse, which sword proceeded
out of his mouth" Rev. 10: 81. This
sword is the Word of God made flesh
in Abraham's seed. "TO the Jew first
and also to the GENTLE" Amos 3
Is; Matt. IL: 20-24; Luke IL: 41-48;
Rom. 2: 8, 10 and 3: l, etc, and ii :
