<TITLE>08. Par 26-30</TITLE>L-26 Now, many times, I look on the sick. People criticizing and poke their finger at me, say, "Well, I brought somebody down there, and they wasn't nothing happened to them." That same old devil that said, "Come down off of the cross, we'll believe You." It still lives in man today...?...
Friend, I couldn't say nothing, to be honest before God, until I knew about it. Would you expect me to stand up here upon the--the... Well, I call the "intoxication" of your rebuke, or something, and do something wrong to cause God's Church to have a reproach upon it? Never.
I listen to one person, and that's God. Managers, or anything, I have, I think, the best managers in the world. They don't... They can set a meeting anywhere they wish to, but I'm at liberty.
Whatever the Spirit of God says do, do it. If He called me from this platform right now to go pray for somebody across the nation, I'd go right now. That's right. And no matter what happened here, I'd go right then. It's better to obey than to sacrifice. That's true.

L-27 But if He tells me something... Sometimes I'll catch the person and look right at them. And many times, if you'll notice, I'm always turning. That's... I know that, the pull of the faith coming in to me. If I stop, It'll start calling people. See? And I try to keep from that just as much as I possibly can, looking right upon the audience, 'cause as soon as you contact a person, the visions start raising. Nine out of ten will start. And when they do, then that...
But that doesn't heal the person. But if... If you can get the people to believe then, sometimes, speaking to them, telling them what's wrong, well then, it'll--it'll... they'll believe. That'll give them faith. But I couldn't tell you what's wrong with you until God first showed me. I'm...

L-28 Jesus passed by the cripples and left them lay there. He said, "I can do nothing except the Father shows Me first." Is that right? Saint John 5:19. "Verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself but what He sees the Father doing." See? It has to be showed first.
Balaam, when he tried to curse Israel, he blessed Israel. And Balak asked him why. He said, "How can any prophet say anything 'less God put it in his mouth." See? You can't say it. There's no need.
So, just keep praying, everybody in the attitude of prayer, and then believe. And if God tells me anything to say to you, I'll say it. And when I say it, believe it.

L-29 Here not long ago, a lady come in the prayer line. She's having a fast line. She's walking across...?... I believe it Tulsa, Oklahoma. And she was walking through the line on her crutches. And I said, "Sister, will you believe me as God's servant?"
She said, "Yes, sir."
I said, "Go up to the place and throw your crutches down, and go on down walking."
And she said, "But, sir, I--I've been on these crutches here for two years."
I said, "You'll probably always be on them." And she went on. It was over.

L-30 About a twenty minutes later, a lady come through that two ushers had to help her. And I felt the Spirit drawing to her. She looked up, and she was crying.
I said, "Mother, do you believe?"
She said, "I believe with all my heart, that whatever you'd ask God, God would do it."
I said, "Walk up there (as I told the lady awhile ago), and throw those crutches away and go on."
Just stood and watched her. She walked up there. They had to help her, poor old thing, so feeble. She held one like that. Took her crutches, and throwed them down. And down through that building she went, around and around just a screaming.
Now, what if she wouldn't have done that. See, see? I have to know first. And you obey and do what you're told to do.
