'' '''Now, that's just pure faith, friends. Magicians use it many times to play pranks and so forth, burst glasses and things.''' It will, if you believe. But I'm trying to base your--the thought on faith so you know what I'm talking of. And I want you to set still now so you'll catch this. Wake yourself up, so when I get through with it you'll know what it's all about.<ref>FAITH.IS.THE.SUBSTANCE OAKLAND.CA 47-0412</ref> | '' '''Now, that's just pure faith, friends.

''And when I can get that patient up to a place till their faith comes to this, '''that's what gives me a perfect faith.''' I've never seen it fail. And it never will fail. It can't fail.<ref>DISEASES.AND.AFFLICTIONS_ LVL.KY 50-0100</ref> | |||
''Now, I've prayed for thousands of people, just as a routine of praying for people. But yet, I don't know what's going to happen, till He shows me what's going to happen. Then I have THUS SAITH THE LORD. Then the Lord has brought His Word in confirmation, then I know just exactly what He's going to do. When He tells me what He's going to do, '''then it makes a perfect faith.'''<ref>JESUS.ON.THE.AUTHORITY.OF.THE.WORD WOOD.RIVER.IL 54-0217</ref> | |||
''Now, now we see, at first the disciples didn't have this Perfect Faith. They didn't have it, because they'd had Christ, walking with Him; but then afterwards, Christ was in them. And so, you see, it's hard then to have this Perfect Faith without the Holy Spirit; It has to bring it, It does. Now, you say, "'''The disciples didn't have Perfect Faith?" No'''; for they had an epileptic child there, that they were trying to cast this devil out of him, and they couldn't do it. | |||
''...I've seen it, friend. Here's this Bible laying open before me. I've seen it happen, and I know it's the Truth. I know, God in Heaven knows, that I might not live through to finish this message, but I--I know that it happened. I've seen it myself. I'm a witness of that Word being fulfilled, that I know It is the Truth: say it, and stand there and see the Creator bring a living creature into existence, right in presence of your eyes; you shake your head and wonder; and then look around and seen Him bring another one, just exactly like it, because you said so; and turn over here and say, "There'll be another one there," and look, and there it is! Now, that's the truth. | |||
''Oh, where should we be? There's Perfect Faith. No vision, "Just speak the Word," never saw the squirrel. He just said this Scripture, what it was, and "Speak it, and don't doubt it; but what you say, it'll be there." '''And I took God at His Word, and it was there.''' That's right. That's just as powerful... And friend, as your pastor, that's just as powerful as it was when Joshua stopped the sun; because the sun was already there, the elements was moving, and he stopped the movement. But this, He brought something there that wasn't there, He created! I'm so glad to be acquainted with the God that can take the dust of the earth, some day, without anything, and call me back to life again, that same faith, after I been planted in the grave. Oh, my! There it is. | |||
'' I charge you in the Name of Jesus Christ, '''that you come not in this line unless you feel that you got that Perfect Faith''', 'cause you're only taking their time, somebody else's time. Don't you do it! And by... as long as I've preached to you, have I ever said one thing to you but what it happened? Exactly! The Lord did that. He did it not for me, I believe. He did it for you, that you might believe that what I'm telling you is the Truth. Now you believe it, it'll be all right, and it... you'll get well. When you come by here, drop your unbelief right in this... a spiritual pocket down here. You won't see it, but it's there. When that oil touches you, drop your unbelief right there. Deposit that and walk away with Perfect Faith that you're well. Will you do it? The Lord bless you, then.<ref>PERFECT.FAITH JEFF.IN 63-0825E</ref> | |||
