“While in Washington State I saw a tremendous deliverance of an Indian girl. She was terribly immoral, a harlot. She drifted in that night full of the devil and tried to tear up the meeting. She cursed me violently. I prayed for her one time, and God knocked her on the floor. Then I sat down on the altar and began to sing choruses, praising God and thanking Him for the victory. She lay there cursing, blaspheming, and saying, “I’m not coming out. I’m not coming out.” We kept singing. In a few moments the power of God swept over her and swept that mess out of her. She became clean and pure. The next day she was in our morning service as changed as dark to day. It came about through one prayer and then the singing and praising of God. Since faith is a praise unto God, that makes faith lighthearted. If you are struggling with faith with a long face and a sad heart, saying, “I’m trying,” that’s not faith. You’re trying something, but it’s not faith. Faith never tries. Faith commands. Faith expects. Faith receives. And faith praises.”
