people today with and with rheumatism and with
tuberculosis, and all other kinds of dseases-s God?
So then God doing what Satan did when the Christ
was upon the earth WE'LL some one says God makes
people SICK and the devil makes other people sick That
is false position to take because God and Satan do not
work at the kind of business Is there disease in
God?
PEOPLE: "Now
GENERAL OvERsEER: Is there any sin in God?
PEOPLE: "No!'
GENERAL OvERsEER: Therefore you cannot get any
disease from God Gods hands clean and and holy
and He is the Bestower of life and health and blessing
Just take Acts 1898 and put it before Gods children
who have been taugh"How God anonted Jesus of Naz-
areth with the Holy Ghost and with power Who went about
doing good and healing all" whom God had made sick-
is that what it says?
people, "Nop'
GENERAL OvERsEER: and healing all that were op-

Take Job 27 $50 went Satan forth from the presence
the Lord Job with bois from the sole of
his foot unto his CROWN Is it not plainly stated there that
SATAN SAIOTE JOB with the bols? Is not God Who
did it, but it Satan who did it. And there cannot be
found between the lids of the Bible selection of Scrip
ture correctly translated prove that God the Almighty
the Author of these foul diseases which destroy happiness
and life.
MANS PREVAILING THOUGHT IS THAT GOD is THE AUTHOR
OF SICKNESS AND DISEASE
We have people come here for prayer for healing who
have been taught this false doctrine and that is the first
thing have to get out of their minds. You ask them
edo you believe that God gave to you that horrible cancer
They reply Well that is what have been taught "Then
if God gave you that keep it, you have right to
seek to get rid of if God has given it to you; it is ncon
sistent you for Gods gifts be taken
Now what God gives to you ought to keep
for written that EVERY good and perfect gift is from
above and cometh down from the Father of lights, with
Whom no varableness neither shadow of turning" and
there is nothing bad evil that from God-ony that
which is GOOD and PERFECT comes from God.
THE EXISTENCE OF THE DEVIL CANNOT BE SERIOUSLY
DENIED
The great difficulty with many people is that in these
last days. they have to the conclusion that there
devil Why, they say "do you believe in the personality
Of the dev?" "Why, certainly" "Oh WE'LL have
light than you have because have done with the
devil long ago. WE'LL have to say to such people that
take the Word Of God believe in the verbal inspiration of
the original Scriptures believe that they verbally
inspired have stood by them in ministry all the
through and my God has yet failed forsaken
Gods Word true and Gods Word tells and warns
Of the devil The Bible tells that the devil goes about
roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour The Bible
tells that Jesus cast him out The Bible tells to ere
sist the devil and he will flee from me-"
It is just like the devil to make people believe that he
has existence; and it is alarming how many peope-who
used to be pretty good peoplehave sheen entced by this
false doctrine until today they that they do not longer
believe there is devil No. they do not believe the Bible
This is Age of unbeef, time when the Word of God is
assaulted every hand.
ZION breaches THE "OLD-TIdE RELIGION"
People do not have any for the cold time religion

something new. No, is not anything new-there is
nothing taught in ZION that new but everything that is
