<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And now, each night, as I understand, the meeting is to be twelve nights long, if the Lord permits us. And we want to try to make every night count. And now for the first few nights, first night or two, while I'm going on my fast and prayer...
Many of you understands that the ministry that our Lord Jesus Christ has permitted to me, has (as I humbly say that), is a little odd, a little different maybe from, maybe what you'd be used to your healing campaigns. But I can only do as He bids me do. Like anyone else, we just have to do as He says do it. It operates a little strange because it's under a... the direction of a supernatural Being. And it--it's quite a phenomenon--phenomena, rather, that--that--that they have told you.
Of course it speaks out to the diseases, and the sins of your life, and tells you why, and what caused you to be sick. You just make that right, why, I've never seen it fail yet to what the people was healed. And that...
Many times the weakness of it is the part of the lack of faith after the people are healed. On the platform, here before the Divine gift, it will deliver anything. Any... No matter how bad they're crippled, blind, twisted; they'll be healed here at the platform.

L-6 But now, it's been throwed to me many times that... how long does it last? They say, "Well, in a few days, most of them cases go right back in their conditions." Then they try to say it's hypnotism, and so forth, which we Christians are--are not slothful concerning those things to understand that the enemy has always got something to say against God. And we look for that. And we do not expect to go through life without persecution, for the Bible says "All that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
And I can only be honest. And if a person is honest, and be truthful and honest, God will be with you. And if a man says anything, well, we're free moral agents, and we can say anything that we wish to. But if I would say something, and it would not be right, then God would not testify of that. But if I say something about God, and something God has done, and then God in return comes around and testifies that that is right, then you ought to believe it, because God has said so, and not a man. And that's only fair to any audience. And that's what the claims has been made.

L-7 And it's nothing that I have in myself to do, I'm just a--just a man that as the rest of you brothers are, a sinner saved by grace. And it...
I was born in a very poor family, raised up irreligious. My people before me, and my grandparents were Catholic, my father and mother. Never went to any church at all. We're Irish by descent, and by nationality, rather. And we didn't not go to church.
Till when I was a little boy about seven years old, or when I was first borned, very peculiar thing happened the morning when I was born. And a Light came into the room. All of them started crying. Up in the mountains where I was... Kentucky where I was borned. Went on for seven years. And at the age of seven years old, It appeared to me the first time as a Voice speaking to me, and told me never to smoke, or to drink, or to defile myself in any way; because there'd be a work for me to do when I got older.

L-8 Later on in life It kept appearing. It would show me things; I'd say just what It told me. It never has failed to come to pass yet. 1947, '46 Rather, on April the se--or May the seventh in the room, an Angel of the Lord came into the room. When I seen the Man, It... When He spoke, I didn't know Him. When He... seen him, was the first time I'd ever seen Him, human form. It appeared many times. Down on the river after my first revival, It came down in the form of a--like a star when it's in a distance, but when It comes close, It looked like a Light. And It's a... It appeared and many people fainted where it was some ten thousand people, I guess, was present to see it. And then It just... I never knowed what It meant.
