Anticipating the eventual manifestation of his healing Sam began singing a happy song which he made up as he went along mainly repeating the words, “Hallelujah”, “Thank you, Jesus” and “I am healed” over and over and over again.
Sensing an opportunity to get a word in edgewise and expecting Sam to know the difference between the play money of an “eventual manifestation of healing” and an actual testimony one could take to the bank, the devil said, “You’re not.”
When Sam’s wife heard him suddenly stop singing, she asked, “Did the devil say you weren’t healed?”
“Yes.”
“That devil’s a doofus.”
HA ha ha ha—HA ha ha—HA ha ha ha—HA ha ha—which offended their high maintenance devil so much that it threatened to leave and when it finally did even the bankers recognized Sam’s testimony as golden.

Denise offers the prompt word “bank” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

“That devil’s a doofus.” . . . he sure is.

As Martin Luther said, if the devil will not yield to Scripture, laugh at him, he can’t bear that. My favorite way to do that is to sing the children’s song with the lyric, “And if the devil doesn’t like it, he can sit on a tack!” Get’s me laughing and praising every time.

I didn’t realize Martin Luther said that. It is good to start laughing and praising when the devil comes around. Blessings, Mimi!
