The Triumphant ChurchCor. 12:11).
What I want to get you to see is this. Until I was in
the Spirit, I didn't know an evil spirit was afflicting this
woman's body. You can't guess at these things.
Certainly, I ministered to people according to faith in
God's Word, and people were getting saved, healed, and
filled with the Holy Spirit. But when I was in the Spirit,
God revealed that it was an evil spirit causing this
woman's lung cancer, and God supernaturally equipped
me to deal with the demon that was enforcing the
disease in her body.
Also, if it were just me operating a gift of the Spirit,
I would have dealt with that spirit the very first night
the woman came to the meeting. If the Holy Spirit
doesn't operate through me, I'm helpless. God has His
own ways of doing things, and it's best just to let Him
do what He wants to do. I don't have supernatural
manifestations in every meeting because no one can
produce a manifestation of the Spirit himself. A person
can't work something up and try to make something
happen. If he tries to, he will open himself up to evil
spirits and get off into error.
And just because I had that particular manifestation
in one meeting, if I'd tried to produce the same
manifestation at the next meeting, I would have gotten
off track and opened the door to the devil.
You and I don't operate spiritual gifts. If you try to
operate hem, the devil will accommodate you, and you'll
open the door for satanic deception. Spiritual gifts
operate as the Holy Spirit wills.
You see, you don't necessarily deal with every
cancer case the same way every time or any other kind
of disease the same way in very case. But you always
tell people what the Word says. Just because you had
