1 By R.G. Hardy I believe that in the whole body of Christ, there are a lot of people who are sick, because they have sick faith. If your faith is sick, there is a domino effect, and everything else in your life is going to be sick. So the Lord told me to be a spiritual doctor, because He s the great physician, and He has diagnosed the case as sick faith, for why some are not getting healed, not getting delivered, and not getting their needs supplied. God said, I want you to prescribe a cure for them. We are going to prescribe a cure for your sick faith. The devil suggests to a lot of people, Your problem is too great, your sickness is too terrible, and your needs are too great. You don t have any faith, and if you do, it is so little it won t do. Has the devil ever told you that? That you don t have faith, and he even causes people to tell you that. When people say that you don t have faith, they are being used as a tool of the devil, and you have got to resist them. YOU HAVE FAITH I m going to give the Bible cure for the symptoms of no faith and weak faith. I m prescribing the prescription written in Romans 12:3: God has dealt (or given) to every man the measure of faith. So you tell the devil when he says you don t have any faith, You re a liar, because God has given me a measure of faith. He has given you the measure you need to live victorious. Some people need a greater measure because of their place and responsibility in the body of Christ. But God has given you the measure of faith that is adequate for you to have all your needs supplied, all your diseases healed, and for you to live victorious and be an overcomer! Point your finger to yourself and say, I have faith! Then tell the devil: Devil, I have faith. Get out of here! I believe that was a good God s pill, that went down easy. So now the devil says, Yeah, I have to concede that you have a measure of faith, but your measure is so tiny, it s so inadequate that it s almost like no faith. So there is no use in your trying to believe for your miracle, because you don t have enough faith. Has he ever told you that your problem is too great? Your need is too much? I remember when I was first saved, I almost had an heart attack because I had to come up with $10.00 a month for a refrigerator payment. Today you could spend that much to buy the stamps to mail the checks each month! But I had to believe God just as much for that $10.00 then as for thousands now, and my faith has increased in proportion to my need. What s the cure when the devil says that you have the smallest faith, and it s no good? What s the God s pill? What s the prescription? 1

2 Let s see what the Bible has to say about small faith. Faith is so powerful and so dynamic, you don t need a whole lot. Faith is so explosive, like TNT and some of those nitrogen explosives that are so potent, it only takes a couple of drops. Some are in little bottles, and if you shake them too much, what happens? Boom! That s the way faith is. You shake your faith up and stir it up, and it explodes into miracles. The cure for when the devil says your faith s not big enough, when you think your faith is not adequate, is Matthews 17:19-20: Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Jesus had been up in the mountain with Peter, James, and John where He was transfigured before them. When they came down, a man brought his son who was demon possessed, and the disciples couldn t cast them out. They asked Jesus, Why couldn t we cast them out? Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: not because you didn t have faith, but because you failed to use your faith. In fact, unbelief is using your faith against yourself. You are believing against yourself saying, God can t do it, I can t do it. How many times has the devil come to you saying, You can t do it? Here s another one of God s pills, Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Are you having trouble with unbelief? Jesus said, Because of your unbelief: for verily, truly I say unto you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, (and that s the smallest amount of faith, and Romans 10:3 says you have at least that) ye shall say unto this mountain... the devil says, You only have a little bit of faith, I say, That s right I have mustard seed faith. Jesus said that if you have a little bit, just the size of a mustard seed, a little thing, but when you plant that, or release, or activate that faith, that mustard seed becomes a great plant. When you activate that small measure of faith, it explodes like an atomic bomb. In other words, if you put your faith into operation, even though it s as small as a grain of mustard seed, you can say unto this mountain (and He stood there and pointed to the mountain),...remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN When you look at a mountain of trouble, faith can remove the mountains in your life, but the devil wants to get you dwelling on the mountain instead of using your faith. I believe the bigger the mountain, the greater the victory when it moves. Like the saying, The bigger the enemy, the harder they fall. The bigger the mountain, the greater the explosive power of faith comes into operation. How do you think this vast universe came into existence? By God s faith. He spoke the word of faith, because that s the way the gift of faith usually works You speak the word of faith. God spoke, Let there be light, let there be... let there be..., and His faith went out to nothingness and created burning worlds. Someone said, God took the hammer of creation, struck the anvil of time, and the sparks became burning worlds. God spoke this universe into being! And Jesus said to speak to the mountain, and nothing shall be impossible to you! When you speak the Word of God, you release your faith. Paul said in Romans 10:17, Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. You see, don t just read the Scriptures, but quote them to yourself. Read them aloud until they become quickened or alive in your spirit. The main reason for doubt, unbelief, and little faith is ignorance of what God s Word says about a situation. If you 2

3 the spoken (rhema) Word of God (Eph. 6:17). don t know, how can you have absolute faith and unwavering faith? When you don t know the Word, that opens the door for the devil to come in and sow doubt in your heart, because you have nothing to resist him with....resist the devil, and he will flee you James 4:7 says. But you have to have something to resist him with. The thing to resist him with is the sword of the Spirit which is THE MOUTH OF FAITH The word of faith is first birthed in the heart. It s not just a matter of speaking a formula it must be first settled and believed in your heart. This is how we received salvation, and how we received every other promise of God s Word. Romans 10:8-10: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We speak with the mouth of faith, that is, we confess what we believe in our hearts, the Word of faith preached to us. We hear we believe we confess we receive! Every element is necessary for us to receive. If we confess without faith, we won t receive. And if we believe, we must confess it! Another illustration of speaking the word of faith is Mark 11:20-23: And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I 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 heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. The day before Jesus saw a fig tree afar off and desired its fruits, but when He came near, it was only leaves, and He cursed it saying, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever! When He cursed it, there was no immediate manifestation that it was dead. There was no physical manifestation at that time, but when the disciples looked, it stood up just as strong as ever. When Jesus and the disciples came the next day, they saw the tree dried up from the roots. It was dead as soon as Jesus spoke it: Henceforth no man eat fruit of thee. He cursed it at the source of its life, and it began to die at the root. Peter said, Look, the tree that you cursed is dead. Jesus could have said, Sure, it died yesterday when I spoke to it. You didn t have to see the physical manifestation immediately, because I destroyed it at its root. Often that s the way it works for healing. God destroys sickness at its root. Whether you still have the symptoms, whether you still have the pain, it is dead at the root. Sometimes the pain may become more acute, but don t doubt in your heart. I remember years ago, a family called to say that they wanted to bring their mother for prayer. She had a cancerous tumor, and they didn t want the doctors to operate on her. They had been hearing that God was healing in our midst, and they wanted to bring her for healing. They were of a religious persuasion that did not teach healing and miracles. I prayed for her, and I knew that God did the miracle. Some times there is no manifestation or feeling when faith is in operation. When the gift of healing comes into operation, you feel the power, but with the gift of faith, you may not see any immediate manifestation, but you have cursed the disease at the root. 3

4 After that night s service, early in the morning, a family member called me on the phone, and said, My mother has severe pain. We are rushing her to the hospital. Please pray! I said, I have prayed already and cursed it; I don t have to pray again. I believed the first time, and I knew God touched her. When they operated on her, they found the tumor had broken loose, and she was passing it through her bowels. She was feeling the pain from the bowels. When you have prayed the prayer of faith, you don t accept the symptoms. You don t look for a feeling, because that s not faith. You don t look for a manifestation that the symptoms are gone, the disease is gone, or the healing is come, because that is sense knowledge. You believe whether you see or feel anything. The devil is the master of bringing symptoms. He is going to try to make you feel worse. But faith sees the evidence in the spirit before it is manifested in the natural: Hebrews 11:1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Peter said to Jesus, Look, the fig tree is dead. Jesus could have said, Of course it s dead. I cursed it yesterday. Because whatever the Lord speaks, it s done then, whether or not anything is immediately manifested. And He said, If you will maintain your faith and not doubt, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea: it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever you ask in prayer, believing you shall receive (Matt. 21:21-22). That doesn t limit it to anything! Everything you ask in prayer, believing and turning your faith loose, you shall receive. Now, that s the cure, and I don t care what the devil says. KEEP ON BELIEVING When you get up from prayer, 99 times out of 100, you don t see the answer to that prayer then. If you re asking God give you an automobile, an automobile doesn t appear in your driveway, but you walk away with the assurance of the Word that you have whatever you believed in prayer: And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive it. The word believing is a present participle which denotes continuous action. Your faith is in action. In the Greek, it means to keep on believing. How do you do this? You already have experience in this if you are a Christian. You are presently in a position of keep on believing for something significant that has not manifested yet; that is, you have never seen it, but you wholeheartedly believe in it Heaven! Do you believe you are going to Heaven? Have you ever seen it? Have you seen your mansion? Probably not. But you are believing it anyway! You re keeping on believing. You have it settled in your heart, I m going to Heaven. You keep on believing, and you don t accept anything contrary to what you believe about Heaven. You don t accept sense knowledge that says, If I can t see it, it doesn t exist. Sense knowledge is opposite of faith knowledge. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal ( 2 Cor. 4:18). The things which are spiritual that are not seen, are more real than the things which are seen in the natural, because they are only temporal! This earth as we know it, must be renovated form its present state of entropy and decay. Nevertheless, we according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, which are eternal! (2 Peter 3:7-13). We accept by faith that Heaven is our future, and Heb. 10:34 says, We knowing in ourselves that we have in heaven a better and enduring substance. Again, the present tense knowing means we keep on looking for our future in heaven which is better and eternal! It might surprise you to know that God never said in His Word to ask for faith! He never told 4

5 anyone to pray for faith. You cannot find a Scripture where God said to pray for faith, because He has already given you faith. What God has told you and I to do is, to put our faith into action, to change faith from a noun to a verb and believe. If I were to go to God and say, Give me faith, He d say, Don t you believe what I said that I have given you the measure of faith? I have given every man the measure, and it s enough to do the job. If when you were born, your family inheritance provided all the money you would ever need for the rest of your life, you could put it in the bank and leave it there, or you could put it into operation and enjoy its benefits. HOW TO INCREASE FAITH God has told you to use your faith by putting it into operation. You have already been given a measure of faith, and as life goes on and the demands in your life get greater, then God has two things to strengthen and supplement your faith. One is increase by use that is when you believe God for something and it happens, it s all the easier for you to believe for the next one. And example of this is Luke 17:5-6. The apostles said to Jesus, Lord, increase our faith. Jesus answered, If ye had faith as a grain of a mustard seed (and you do), ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. In other words, if you want your faith to increase use the measure you have! The second supplement comes by hearing the Word of God. I love these verses, because they are the basis for faith for my life and prayer, beginning in Mark 11:22: And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. You have the measure of faith, but now you must know where to put it. Jesus said, Put it in God. The prophet said, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man and makes flesh his arm... (Jer. 17:5). Put your trust in God! Don t put it in a retirement plan like they did at Enron, where you are liable to lose it all. But if you ve got your faith built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness, and the blood, and the Word of God, God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Phil. 4:19). Verse 23: For verily I 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 heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Faith will make you like God!. You can have whatsoever you say, because whatever God says, God gets! God said that if you use the faith that He has given you God s kind of faith the faith He used to create the world; if you will take that same faith, even though it s like a mustard seed, and put it in God, then whatever you say to any mountain in your life, you are going to have whatever you say. That s what I do in the healing line. I say, Devil, come out. God said that if I believe in my heart, I m going to have whatever I say, and the devil is going to come out. The devil has nothing to say about it. He s got to come out. Whenever God wants you to do something, He explodes your faith with a message from the Word for you to hear and then you must act in faith. The last part of verse 23 is the part that I like most:...and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe (act) that these things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Verse 24: Therefore, I say unto you... Jesus now restates the fact of faith s answered prayer. In other words, what you must do now is act on this truth, that if you will not doubt in your heart, you ll have whatever you say, and it shall come to pass. Therefore, I want you to pray. 5

6 Therefore refers back to what He has said in verse 23. Therefore, for this reason that if you don t doubt, whatever you say shall come to pass: Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire, when you pray (I want you to pray) believe (act like) you receive them, and you shall have them. You have to act like you already have it, because believe is a verb, and it means action. It means to act like you have it. For example, when you want something for the house, here s the way it works: You see an ad for something you want, and it gives you a number to call. You call the number and describe the ad. You haven t seen it literally; all you have is the word of what the ad says. You call up and say, I want to order that super home theater system. The operator says, What is your credit card number? You believe you are going to get what you order, so you give her your number. She says, Okay, we have your order. It s on the way. Now you have patience until it comes, don t you? You have never actually seen that super home theater system. You ve seen the picture and read the description in the ad, but that s no guarantee. You ve seen it in your mind s eye, and you believe in that company. You must believe, because you gave them your credit card number. You act like you ve already got it, and you clear out a place to put it when it comes. God s catalog is filled with the very things you need. I use to preach this message under the title Wish Book VS. the Faith Book. Just like you open up J. C. Penney s catalog, or Spiegel s, and you say, I wish I had this. I wish I had that. I wish I had that. Well, I open the Bible and say, I m going to get this. I m going to get that. Here is my personal illustration of acting on your faith: Asking God for an automobile. The reason my faith is so strong is because this is the way I got my first car, a streamline Kaiser Manhattan, two-toned color, suburban light at the top and dark at the bottom, simulated alligator dashboard with tassels on it, and a red ram engine. That was something in those days! You could take one finger and steer it. It looked like a Cadillac with fish tails on it. When I pulled into that project where I lived, they wanted to know Who is that rich guy pulling in the alley? It was one of those hot Baltimore July days, and I was walking up Annapolis Road to the Westport projects where I lived when I saw this Kaiser Manhattan in a man s yard for sale. I thought to myself, Man, I wish I had a car to ride in all this heat. While I was walking God said to me, When you get home, ask Me for that car. I heard it just that clearly. Sister Hardy was not saved at the time, and when I told her, she thought I had a sun stroke. When I got home I m sitting there fanning myself and drinking a glass of iced tea, and God spoke to me again, Didn t I tell you when you got home to ask Me for that car? Do you know My voice? I said, Yes, Lord. Then why haven t you asked Me for that car? I said, I was trying the spirits. God said, Well, what conclusion have you come to? Is it My voice? I said, Yes. He said, What are you going to do? I replied, I m going to get down right now and ask You for that car. Because I could not find a Scripture that said car, I quoted John 16:23 where Jesus said, Whatsoever you ask the Father in my name. He will give you. You must have a manifestation of faith, and faith comes by hearing. When you say, I believe, you hear it, and then you begin to believe it. I said, Father, I want that car. I thank You for it. I know I have it, because I asked in the name of Jesus. Then Jesus said, Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it (John 14:13-14). I said, That includes the car. Thank You, Jesus. When I got up, do you know what I did? I had plans to go to a meeting and was going to take the bus, but I pulled out the map of the city I was going to and began to figure out the best route 6

7 to take in my new car. I acted like it was my car so I planned a trip. You must act like you have whatever you have asked God for. You don t have to believe when you have it. That takes no faith. I have this coat (pointing to his jacket), and I don t have to believe God for it. My wife said to me, What are you doing? I said, I m going on a trip, and I m looking for the best route. She said, How are you going to go? I said, With the car God gave me. She went out back and looked, and said, I didn t see any car when I came in, and I don t see one now. I said, God gave it to me. She said, You must have a sun stroke. You re hearing voices. She went all over that project telling everyone I was hearing voices! Now you know, the projects are like the Athenians. Acts says that the Athenians like nothing more than to hear a new thing or tell it. They liked to tell it so much, that they would invent things so that they could tell it. You can always tell when people live in the projects; they are rubber necks! She told that whole area, and when I would come out, they would all pull their curtains back and look at me as if I had AIDS. She told them, Do you know what my crazy husband s done now? He s hearing voices saying that God gave him a car! She said, He has lost his mind. Well, a couple of days later, somebody else was walking up with me on that same road on another hot, steamy July day and saw that car. You know what the devil said to me, He s going to sell that car to someone else. I said, If he does, he s going have to get it back, because it s my car. It was so hot and the person walking with me said to me, I believe God wants you to have a car. I said to myself, You know it too! She said, That s a nice car. I said, You know it too! She said, I believe God wants you to have that car. I said, You know it too! Then she said, I believe God wants me to buy it for you. I said, I know it too!, and I grabbed her arm, because I believe in hitting it while it s hot, and went to talk to the owner. She not only bought the car, she paid for the insurance, the title fees and tags, and filled the gas tank! You know what I did? I cruised up Annapolis Road down there in the Westport projects where I lived, and I came up over the hill where the administration office was. On those little streets, the speed limit was 15 mph. I went about 5! I drove real slow, and as I went, I accidently hit the horn a few times. Beep! Beep! I wanted all the rubber necks to come out, and they did! They all began to look as I pulled up in that fish tail, suburban two-tone brown, simulated alligator dashboard with tassels hanging on it car! Who is this rich person? I pulled in, taking my time negotiating the turn on my little street. Then when I knew all the rubber necks were there, I got out and slammed the door, looked around and yelled, I told you God was going to give me a car! I believed God that I had the car from the moment I asked Him for it in faith, and I acted like it was already mine before I got it! THE MIND OF FAITH Doubt and defeat always begin in the mind. As a man thinks in his heart so is he ( Prov. 23:7). Satan will suggest that your problem is too difficult, too great, or your disease is too serious. We should never entertain Satan s suggestions. As soon as he opens his mouth, and you know that it s the devil, resist him. Tell him to shut up and get out, because if you listen, he s going to convince you. Don t listen to him. Do you know what gets me? When I call a healing and deliverance line, and people get up here, and when I ask them, Do you believe you are going to be healed? they answer, Well, the devil told me this and the devil told me that. Who cares what the devil says? What I want to hear is what the Word says. I want to know what God said. I haven t got 7

8 time nor space in my mind s memory bank to store what the devil says! I m storing what God says. I want to have every gigabyte filled up with God s Word! Never entertain Satan s suggestions nor try to reason about your need or problem. But place your faith upon the Word of God. The Word of God is the final supreme court. What God says is what s going to happen no matter what anyone else says, if you believe. Refuse to accept Satan s suggestions, and don t confess any symptoms. Confess that you have believed, and it is done, and the order is on the way, and you are patiently waiting and thanking God for it. God s Word says, Hold fast the profession (or confession) of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised... Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward. For you have need of patience, that after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise (Heb. 10:23, 35-36). I m going to out wait the devil, and when the devil s gone, I ll be shouting victory in Jesus, saying, I got it. I told you I was going to get it. THE EYE OF FAITH I want to end with one more point: We must to see by the eye of faith the evidence of the things not seen by the natural eye. Paul said in 2 Cor. 4:17-18, While we look not at the things which are seen... (that is, we look at the things which are not seen with the physical eye) For the things which are seen (by the physical eye) are temporal... They are not the eternal ones. You are looking at your symptoms, but they are really not lasting. They are going to be gone. The symptoms are going to go, because they are temporal, but the things which are not seen physically, but that are seen only by faith, are eternal ones that are going to last forever. All these earthly cities of man are going to go, but not the city of God. This body is going to go, but not my glorified body that s in Heaven reserved for me (1 Pet. 1:4). I don t look at the things which are seen. I don t look at the present circumstances. I don t let my life be dominated by physical and sensual knowledge. They are opposite to God s Word. That s why the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; they are contrary. Neither can he know them; neither can he receive them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Cor. 2:14). You do not receive anything if you are carnal, because healing and God s blessings are spiritually brought. Let me take healing again, because so many people are sick and caught up with that. There are two sources of healing that you can seek after. You can seek after natural healing by going to the doctors and taking whatever they prescribe. Many times they don t know what they are doing. They are still experimenting. You read or hear in the news about a new drug that has to be recalled. They tried it on monkeys. I m not a monkey. They tried it on rats. I m not a rat. Then if they get the okay from the FDA, they try it on humans. They seemingly in the early stages have good results, and the government says you can sell it. After a year or two, when they have made millions, they find out that it doesn t cure the thing that you had, and its side effects are worse, and may even kill you. I m not a guinea pig, and not only that, you have to have faith in the medicine that you take. Or you can go to God. Now the doctor uses natural things, but God heals by spiritual means. I believe you should not mix them. Somebody said to me, Brother Hardy, I m going to go in for an operation. Pray that God guides the hand of the physician. Well, if God does it, it s going to be a miracle, isn t it? Why not believe for a miracle and pray, God heal the disease? Why ask God to guide the hand instead of asking God to heal the disease? I have more faith that God will heal the disease than guide the hand. Don t ask me to pray Guide the hand, because my faith 8

9 isn t great on that. My faith is in the Word that God will heal all your diseases (Ps. 103:3). For 50 years I ve let God heal all my diseases, and He s my resident physician. Everyday when I need it, He gives me a God s pill. If anything tries to get me, because the devil will try to put it on you, I tell him, By His stripes, I m healed, and you have to get out! Doubt can t stay where faith is. The devil can t stay where God is. We must see the evidence of our healing, etc by the eye of faith the things that the eye of the flesh or natural can t see. Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for... The Greek meaning for substance is the basis, the foundation, or the assurance. Faith gives substance to what I ask God in prayer and hope for; it assures me that I have it. The second part of this verse is talking about spiritual sight... the evidence of things not seen. It is not seen with the natural eye but seen with the spiritual eye. Faith is the proof of the things I have prayed for, and now in hope (patient, confident, expectation) I wait for their manifestation. Do you understand what proof means? I could go before a judge and jury to testify against someone for killing somebody, and as the arresting cop say, I saw you shoot him. They may say, Do you have evidence? I say, Yes, here s the proof here s the gun, and it was still smoking when I got it. Faith is the proof. Faith is the evidence, not something physical which you feel or don t feel, or you see or don t see. Faith is the evidence that whatever I say, I will have it. Jesus said, If thou canst believe, all things are possible. With men some things are impossible, but with the sons of God, all things are possible. If you will believe, you will be like God. You can be just like God, because He always gets what He says. I want to be like Him. I want to be 100% sure that every time I ask God for something that I ve got it. Faith tells me I have it. Faith tells me it s on the way. Faith lets me see the evidence, and I, in patient, confident, expectation, wait for it. you can sin a little bit every day. They say you must sin. Now let s see sin is transgression of the law which is the ten commandments. Does that mean I can kill one person a day and it s okay? They say I could sin a little bit every day, and sin is transgression of the law. One of the commandments of the law is thou shall not kill. If I m allowed to do only one of them, I can only kill one. I can t kill two. I have to wait until the next day to get the next one. If I drive by make sure I only get one. I can only rob one person. I can only commit adultery with only one person that day. Hoe stupid that is. The Bible says, Awake to righteousness and sin not. Well, if wasn t able not to sin why did He tell me not to sin if I got to sin? If I got to sin why did He tell me to do something that I can t do. Awake to righteousness (live right) and sin not. Now, if I got to sin why did He tell me not to sin? Sin not, and I say God I can t because this group says I have to sin a little bit everyday. I only know what sin that I neglected. Which one can I do today Lord? For Fast, Fast Relief Take Two Tablets And Call Me Anytime! 9
