The Lord has instructed me to talk about strength.

Look in the 20th chapter of John's Gospel. verse 24. Thomas, one of the 12 called the twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

The other disciples therefore said unto him, we've seen the Lord. But he said

unto them, except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails

and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. Now that was an act of his will.

An act of his will.

And he got his will and got him in trouble.

Jesus straightened him out.

He said to Thomas,

to Thomas, reach here your finger and behold my hands, reach here your hand thrust it into

my side.

Be not faithless. Say faithless.

Now see what happens to the will when there's no faith? It'll get you in trouble.

I will not. I will to. But believing, Thomas answered and said unto him,

my Lord, my God, Jesus said into him Thomas because you've seen me you have believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet believed.

So we're talking about will power.

The power to the strength,

the will strength to resist.

The will strength to resist. Now if you're only doing it in the flesh, I went through

this, I'll tell you and I'm going to put this in proper words I this is Kenneth B.C. you understand? I love to smoke. I didn't like it. I loved it. Oh! And there is this detective show thing on

TV and Ralph Bellamy was the guy that was advertising camel cigarettes and he

had a Zippo lighter. And some of you kids, you know what a big lighter, but forget the big.
