<TITLE>09. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 He submitted the negative to me. I said, "Sir, if my Lord Jesus thought enough of me to come down and have His picture taken by the side of me for the first time it's ever taken in all the world's history, I love Him too much to commercialize His picture." See? Said, "No, sir."
He said, "That's worth a hundred thousand dollars." I said... He said, "Now, you'll probably be dead and gone before this picture comes into a force." He said, "But as long as there's a Christian civilization, this will live on."
So I said, "Well, sir, no matter what it would be, I don't--I don't take--commercialize nothing." See? I said, "I don't go out for people's money." That's true. God knows that, and the people of the world knows it.

L-27 Now, people's offered me thousands of dollars. And if I had to scrape up two hundred dollars tonight, I don't know where it would come from. I come in this world poor; I'll go out poor. And yet I've been offered as much as a--one place from the big winery in California, where a woman was healed with cancer on the breast, a million five hundred thousand dollars in one money order and I refused to look at it. Big article in the paper (see it), where I refused to even look at the check. It's not money. No, sir. I love the Lord Jesus. I love... And the only way I can love Him is by loving you. And being truthful with you, I'm truthful with Him. And as I serve His people, I serve Him. I speak the truth. I've told the truth.

L-28 And now look. The picture. We'll have one here tomorrow night to show you. It's a big Pillar of Fire. How many has seen it? A...?... Probably many of you has seen it. It's copyrighted, big thing goes with it. A big Pillar of Fire, about that big around. They said in their research it looked like emerald light, flaming, burning. You can watch it. I hope it appears here tonight. Many, many times It's appeared right in the meetings while I was having services. Has anybody ever seen it literal with their eyes in the meeting? Is there anybody present who's seen it? Sure, there they are. See? It comes right down many times, right literal while we're praying.

L-29 And there if this is my last night on earth, while I'm standing here in Connersville, Indiana, my testimony is the truth. God, the same God that led the children of Israel by a Pillar of Fire in the wilderness, is leading His church today the same. And that same Pillar of Fire is with us tonight. And as He led the children of Israel then by signs and wonders and healings and miracles... When He was here on earth He did the same things that you see Him doing tonight. Now, He's with us; both in visible Pillar of Fire, and by signs and wonders, proving that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The scientific world knows tonight that I have told the truth. I have told the truth. God in heaven knows that I have told the truth. And God has testified to the people I have told the truth. And if I would go home to glory off this pulpit tonight, my testimony would have to stand; I've told the truth. I've been in contact direct, indirect with many, many millions of people: of eight or ten million people.
