<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>50-0300, Gifts And Callings Are Without Repentance, Carlsbad Air Base Recreation Center, Carlsbad, NM, 49 min
L-1 Good evening, audience. This is a great privilege for me to be here tonight. I've always wanted to come to New Mexico. I'm so glad that God permitted me to come before I had to go overseas. We're here for five nights now to do all that we can for you, and minister to you in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
(I'll pull this just a little closer.) 'Cause I've been speaking, traveling over much of the country, and I kinda gotten just a little bit hoarse in my throat. Maybe one week, I'm where it's real real warm, and next week where it's real cold, and constantly speaking day and night.
I trust that this will be a great time for the people of God here. And I'll do all that I know how to pray that God will grant a great meeting here, while we're here. May His Spirit be present to heal all that are sick and afflicted...?... And may those who are, haven't as yet come into the covenant with God through His Son, Christ Jesus, may receive this great blessing of being saved while the services here are going on.

L-2 I trust that after the service, there'll be an old fashion revival just sweep plumb through the country here...?... 'causing every person to be with new fire. I believe we're living in a--a terrible day, yet a wonderful... a day just before the coming of Jesus.
Just before they came after me a few moments ago, I was speaking to my little son; he said, "Daddy, just what will it be like when Jesus comes?"
Said, "We just don't know." It'll be glorious, I know, when we, whatever we do. One said of them, "Eye has not seen; ear has not heard; or entered the heart of man what God has for them in store that love Him." And the only thing we can do is love Him and believe, and by and by He will manifest Hisself to us. Don't you believe that?

L-3 And now, many people on account of the--the newspapers and so forth, I've noticed that here, call me a Divine healer. Why, Christian friends, you know that's wrong. I'm no Divine healer; I'm your brother. Now, there's only One Healer, and that's God. He's the only One that heals.
A gift of healing doesn't make you a Divine Healer, no more than the gift of preaching would make me Divine Saviour. It's a gift. Now, the gift itself will speak for itself. Anything that God does, you do not have to be ashamed of it, or think it's way off somewhere, because God shall declare Himself, His gift. Hebrews, I believe, the 11th chapter and the 2nd verse, said God testified of His gift. A man can say anything, a person. For a man to say anything is one thing; then for God to say something, it's something different. And if I should testify of something, and God would not back that up, then you and me are... I told you something falsely. But if I tell you something, and God has declared that to be so, then you believe it's so, for the very works say so. You believe that it is God.

L-4 Now, the way this works, is not to heal anybody. There's no mortal ever lived on earth that was a Divine healer. If anybody could have taken credit for being a Healer, would've been our Lord Jesus Christ. But He said He wasn't no Healer. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the works." And if He would not take credit for being a Healer, but give all praise to the Father; then how much more ought we mortals to do so. Only God can heal. This is just as strange to me as it will be with you.
To my belief, the gifts and callings are without repentance, that they're gifts of God, that they're born here on the earth through foreknowledge of God. It isn't what I could desire; it isn't what that I can work myself to or you. It's what God in His foreknowledge has done.
