| TRUST GOD TO KEEP Me IN HEALTH!

TRUST GOD TO KEEP Me IN HEALTH
God Almighty intended us to act like ducks.
duck a man, and l stand upright on my feet
do not propose to put in half my ife padding around
in the water have something else to do
Remember! you make god out of your cold shower
BATH and many people do it.
Some write talk if the that did not take
cold shower-bath every morning of his life was simply
BEAST and yet deafness has been produced by permitting
the cold shower to down the head
Do not trust the shower-bath but trust God Almighty
and permit nothing to between you and Cod
Trust God and not man. Keep your eyes upon the
Christ upon man. then you will the blessing that
you desire.
THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD INDEPENDENT OF
HUMAN RESULTS
Be true to the principle of Divine Healing because the
Bible teaches it.
Some people say, ooh, if to some one healed
I would believe"
No, they would mott But shall continue to believe
in Divine Healing whether anybody is healed not.
Iwant to ZION take step further than Divine Heal
ing and realize Gods Keeping Power It is far better to
be kept we'll by God than to be healed of Sickness
Our little scknesses caused by careessness, and
sometimes by ignorance When returned to this country
fooishly slept in that hot as an oven and
paid for it.
But want to say that while one may feel, in small
degree effect of changing from climate to another
nv conviction is that ought to be able to stand and
live for God any climate not where it is, God is
here!
Now have no other gods before you but the One
True and Living God-that is what want to emphasize
Another thing; do not accuse God! do not like to
hear people say "We don't know why earth am not
healed" That generally implies "Wel, God Almighty,
have done everything You want to do and You have
not kept Your World
THE IMPORTANCE OF A LIFE OF PASSIVE FAITH
The passive life is the life live; and that is Of
the principal reasons why will not read any books on the
food question The less attention to the body and
the more you keep in the Spirit the better.
It is useless to be groveng around in the dust and con-
tnually asking "What shall I eat?" and "What shall
wear?" and wondering whether this thing and that thing
will hurt you if you eat it.
Eat and DRESS and sleep, for the Christs sake; do
everything for the Chrsts sake Can you not get to that
place? If you merely crafty the TASTE you will pay
the penalty, and Americans great eaters.
You need straight teaching and think you have had
this afternoon Eat and drink that which is good and do
not become fool on the food question.
God has given many good things to eat-a great
variety
believe in taking all these good things that God has
oiven us then the body will be supplied with all the elements
that it needs.
Do not bother about your food but live life of passive
faith
CLOSING PRAYER
Father in Heaven look in tender mercy and love upon
these Thv children May they draw Thee with true
hearts There are so many who sick and suffering.
Father heal them for Thy glory. And make us wise
Help us to know that the first gift of the Spirit Wisdom;
and that if all the other Gifts bestowed upon ZIoN
without Wisdom they would only be curse. Give us
knowledge and power Help us, God to keep close to
Thee and to do what right and leave the results in Thy
hands Bless this people! And bless in the prayer
service Be present in great power May this be glad
day when many shall be richly blessed And Thou shalt
