<TITLE>08. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 And now, your pastor here, can here point you to Calvary; that's all he can do. Now, God, after the pastors, He has set in the Church different gifts, and sign, they minister, gifts that he can point to the people by different ways. But there's nothing in an individual that could heal another one. There's nothing in me; there's nothing in any other man.
Now, I want you to notice: I believe that God is just as tangible in this room tonight, as the light is on my hands. Do you believe that? Now, notice; get the fundamental foundation first, that Divine healing is in Christ. And He is as present, and just as close to you as the light that's shining on you now. That's the... He's infinite. He's--He's forever and forever. He knowed the beginning; He... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Now, how the devil fights this wonderful truth of Divine healing, and marks it up. One of the... Someday, the Church is going to wake up to the fact and realize that that the very greatest One, the greatest things that they had, and the greatest blessings outside of salvation, they've turned it down. Many times I found the heathens over there in Africa, the missionary told them, "Day of miracles is passed." And the poor fellow is walking around packing mud idols trying to get healing through mud idols, 'cause they know their fathers... God winking at their ignorance had healed them through believing in the God of their mud idol. But the--the theology of preachers today, and of churches and things that deny that power, of God, to heal...

L-14 Now, notice, friend. One day, say for instance, the electric lights. There was a time when a man would thought that, if they'd have told somebody five hundred years ago, that they'd have an electric light like that, the person would've said, the person was crazy. But there was a man, one time, who down in his heart believed that there was... that he could catch that electricity, and he got a kite and a key, and he--he fished it out of the skies. And when he... it run down the string, or the.. and hit into the bottle, he stopped it up. And he begin to scream, "I got it. I got it." He had it, but he didn't know what he had.
That's what's the Church, the matter with the Church today. They've got something, but don't know what they got.
Now, as long as he had it, he could rejoice and say, "I--I know it's here. I feel it. I know I got it. It's in here." But what did He have? He didn't do nothing with it.
Well, then Thomas Edison come along, after Benjamin Franklin, and a long come Thomas Edison, and said, that, "He could make it light." There was something in him that told him, that he could make it light and help mankind. And--and so he set at his desk for tens of thousands of wires, he tried to make that--that electric current follow that wire. And he--he on and on, and on, tireless hours, and nights, and people calling him crazy, and everything. But there's something on the inside of him told him that that electric would light.

L-15 And as long as there's something on the inside's telling you that it will do it, there's bound to be something there to respond to it: The deep calling to the deep.
As I've often said: "Before the fin was on the fish's back, there's a water, first, for him to swim in, or he wouldn't have had that fin." If there's a deep in here calling, there's got to be a deep to respond to it.
It's here, when I first started out in the ministry, I was reading on something, had a little baby that eat the erasers off of a pencil, and the--the pedal off of a bicycle. When they took the little fellow in to examine him, they found out that his little body needed sulfur, and sulfur's in rubber. That babies body originally came out of the earth, where sulfur is. And if there's something in here calling for sulfur, there's got to be a sulfur out there, first, to respond to this call, or there wouldn't be any call for the sulfur.
