E-1a      ... it goes to foreign nations. And I always try to come and speak a little to the people. I... Brother Baxter and them takes up the offering. And all the money in our campaigns has been a very strange thing. I... So happy to...?... that I can say this here, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it hasn't been a meal ticket for me. If I thought that way about it, and that's the only alternative I had, I'd go back home, go back and get me a--my job back as a state game warden of Indiana, and go to work.
I preached twelve years back at Tabernacle at Jeffersonville without one penny's salary, offerings, or anything. I worked, and it was it. If it was somewhere now that I could get... Now, this seems very strange. But if I knew that while I was in Chicago, if I could get a job... Nobody'd hire me except maybe out here with a pick and shovel on the street. I'd do what I have to do to take care of myself. Now, that's not just to be humble; that's from my heart. See? And I could relax myself more. But, see? But then in these kind of meetings, you can't do that, you got to stay constantly with God, to know just what's going to be in the next meeting.

E-1b      For remember me... In the larger services, where we set together, there's critics; there's everything. Satan's waiting for one false move, then of a... Everything that he can just pin right on that. See? So that's... I must be careful.
Just think, friends, in the meetings that passed, what if it wouldn't have been just exactly truth. Look what'd taken place.
Many of you has read my book back there called "Man Sent From God." You seen the testimonies and so forth. What would happened if some those close places where critics, maniacs, and everything run right to the platform and say, "Right this hour, I'll slay you. I'll take, mash every bone in your body." Well-able to do it... Ministers shrank and run from it. Stand there and see almighty God strike their life, and that person fall to the floor...?...

E-1c      Stand and see them say, "It's psychology; you're reading the people's mind." Agents of different things, and most of the time, preachers run to the platform, say, "Now, that's psychology. You're only reading the people's mind." But you see power of almighty God move come down and move that thing back (See?), where it...
Sweden, Finland, Africa, wherever you go, the opposition's always there: Satan. That's the reason many people... You don't know how I'd like to come and visit with many of you. I long to do that, but in this case... Now, I can't compare my life and tell you to live the way I do. See? I have to live the way He wants me to.
