Introduction.
There are only two powers in the universe.
Good and Evil.
God and the Devil.
Of all of our differences between nations, and differences between each other, and everything, it all mounts up to two powers.
All the rest, the little minor things, are connected with either one of those powers.
And those powers is God’s power and Satan’s power.
Every war, every disorder, everything that comes along, it’s either controlled by God’s power or Satan’s power, ’cause that’s the only two powers there is.
And that is the power of life and the power of death.

Satan’s Power is a perversion of God’s Power.
54 And we are, today, setting here, and one or the other power is going to control us.
So let’s cast out the evil one.
Let’s take our position like the stars of the heavens.
62-0311 - The Greatest Battle Ever Fought
The war between Good and Evil is fought in the mind.
Mind battles.
There had to be a place selected for the battle to begin, and for the battle to rage.
And that battlegrounds begin in the human mind.
There is where the battle starts.
The human mind was chosen for the place of the battle, where it was begin,
and that is because that decisions are made from the mind, the head.

That means you are the deciding factor.
75 If this church, right now could be put together, and knitted together with such that every person would be in one accord,
with not one shadow of doubt anywhere, there would not be a feeble person in our midst, in another five minutes.
There would not be nobody here desiring the Holy Ghost but what would receive It, if you could just get that certain thing fixed.
Now, there is where the battle begins, right in your mind, whether you will.

There are five senses of the body and five senses of the spirit, but only one avenue to the soul, and that is the will.
81 And there’s only one avenue that that can come down, and that’s by the way of free moral agency, come into the soul, by your thoughts.
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

You have to want to be saved.
83 So many people, lots of times, has misconstrued the Word.
And I’ve been misunderstood by this, by making altar calls.
I said, “I wasn’t much on an altar call,” not meaning that you shouldn’t make an altar call.
84 But somebody get somebody by the arm, say, “Oh, Brother John, you know what?
Me and you been neighbors all this time.
Come up here at the altar, get down.”
What’s he doing?
Wish I had a blackboard here, I could show you what he’s doing.
He is trying to work through his soul, on affections.
That don’t work.
That’s not the avenue.
Certainly, it isn’t.
85 Maybe he’s working in (the what?) a memory, through the sense of his soul.
“Oh, Brother John, you had a wonderful mother.
She died a long time ago.”
A memory! See?
You can’t do that.
86 It’s got to come down the line of free moral agency.
You, yourself, let the Word of God…You don’t come because your mother was a good woman.
You don’t come because you’re a good neighbor.
You come because that God calls you to come, and you accept Him on the basis of His Word.
That Word is what means everything.
That Word!
If you can get everything out of the way, all conscience, all senses, and just let the Word come in, that Word will produce just exactly.

If the Word comes in and you try to cover it with imaginations, conscience, memory, reasons and affections, it’ll be a deformed Word.
We don’t add anything to the Word.
107 If you’ve got your senses, see, taste, feel, smell, and hear, they’re all right, but don’t trust them unless they agree with the Word.
They’re all right, but, if they disagree with the Word, don’t you listen to them.
Now, imaginations, conscience, memories, reasons, and affections, they’re all right if they agree with the Word.
But if your affection doesn’t agree with the Word, get rid of it.
You’d blow a flue, right quick.
See?
