<TITLE>02. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 I have... Twenty years ago, as a boy, I found Jesus Christ dear to my heart as a Saviour. I've loved Him ever since. I went through many hard struggles. As all of you know, knows my life, life hasn't been a flower-bed of ease for me. It's been one struggle after another.
I remember one day after my--I'd lost my wife, my baby, my father, and brother. Wife and baby died a few hours apart. I was going, walking up the road, a pair of boots on. It was right after the '37 flood. State Senator of Indiana, which was a mini--a--Mr. Isler, which is a member of my church, he--I was going along, crying. He drove up in his car, and stopped, jumped out, and put his arm around me, said, "Billy."
Said, "Yes, Mr. Isler,"
Said, "What do you think about Him now?"
I said, "I love Him." I said, "I couldn't do nothing else but love Him. My whole makeup has become part of Him." See? And I said, "I couldn't do..."
Said, "After He took your wife and baby?"
I said, "No matter what He would do. If He'd turned me down at the judgment and say I wasn't worthy to enter in, He's right. And if there is such a thing as in hell, having love, I'd still love Him there for what He's been for me. If He turns me down, He's still righteous. I deserve it. All of us deserve it. His Words are true."

L-5 I believe in Divine healing, because there's... In my heart, I believe that God is here tonight, as I say just as this Light is here, just as real as the light. The--the power of God is on every person just as much as the light is.
Now, we take those lights. We wonder. Here, did you know, most people who believe in Divine healing and the powers of God, are considered fanatics? They've always been. And so, I think, sometime looking at that Light, I think of that light--them light--that electric has been in the world ever since there was a world, when God created it, the electric was here, but they didn't know nothing about it, just a few years ago.
But there was a man one time, begin to see the lightning flash and he thought, well, there's something to that; there's a power there. And he took a--a key on a kite tail and flying it around. And Benjamin Franklin, after while, he--he caught the electric come down the--the wire and hit in the bottle. And he caught the electricity, he begin to scream, "I got it. I got it." He didn't know what he had, but I think that's just maybe like a whole lot of us when we find Christ. We sing, "I got it; I got it." That's about as much as we know about it.

L-6 But there come a fellow along by the name of Thomas Edison. He thought that it made a flash. So if that flash would follow a wire, it would help mankind; it would help do something. It would embetter. God put it here, so it would embetter mankind. So he said it will light. The people thought he was crazy, but he wasn't. He--through criticism and everything, he set tireless hours with a cup of coffee and a sandwich, and he tried tens of thousands of wires. Finally, after while he found a wire that would make it light.
Now, electricity is common. If I went and turned a switch on and the lights didn't come on, I wouldn't say there was no such a thing as electricity. I'd say the wires was crossed up somewhere. Well, if I pray for somebody, we don't get healed, why, "There is no such a thing as Divine healing." That's wrong: our wires are crossed up somewhere. See? 'Cause God is a Healer. Now, the Bible says He was the Healer. He says He's still the Healer. He always will be the Healer of our sickness. He's Jehovah-rapha. He's Jehovah-Manasses, He's Jehovah-jireh, He's all--He's all the redemptive names of Jehovah was placed in Jesus. He's our Saviour, our Buckler, our Shield, our Healer, the same yesterday, today, and forever. And He's here tonight.
