<TITLE>21. Par 82-84</TITLE>L-82 When I was a little boy, we lived so poor, we'd... Mama would have to boil our meat skins in a pan to get the grease to make our corn--corn pone; we just had to live off of corn bread and molasses and--and so forth. We didn't have the lard, so she had to get old meat skins.
And every Saturday night, I remember... She had the big old tea kettle and big old cedar tub, and...?... pour a little tea kettle full of hot water in there, and we all had to take a bath. Every Saturday night it was a bath, then take a big dose of castor oil. I--I never will forget that. After you eat such foods as that... And I used to take it. When mama would come, I'd--I'd hold my nose, I'd say, "Mama, mama, please don't. Oh," I said, "I... The thing makes me so sick."
She said, "If it don't make you sick, it don't do you any good."
So I mean that tonight, if it don't make you right good and sick, preacher, it don't do you any good, but it'll stir you up a little bit, get you digestive oils...?... the full Gospel. Hallelujah. Amen. You have to take God's provided way. That's right. It'll fix you up, make you feel better tomorrow. Just swallow right on down, say, "Yeah, I guess that's right; I'm going over and shake hands with man, make up with him then. Yes, sir, I'm going to cooperate in the meeting. I'm just going to do everything I can to see the glory of God move on." You're going to get somewhere then. Whew...?... got something. All right. But it's God's provided way. That's right.
All right, I can see then, they got their waters, and they got their ditches filled up. And the first thing you know, they never only drink...?... their water rather, they went over and took a rock and stopped up all the old cold formal wells they had over there. And if you'll just dig real deep tonight, till this building's filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and the people are healed and filled with the Spirit and out on the streets a screaming and praising God, walking down to these barrooms tomorrow and giving testimonies and everything for the glory of God, we'll stop up some of these old cold formal wells around here with some of these stones (That's right.), of testimonies. Amen. That's right. I believe it with all my heart. God has a provided way.

L-83 One time there was a woman; she had a blood issue, in the Bible. Oh, my, it was very bad. The doctors couldn't do nothing. So she'd heard about a Man was healing the sick. So the first thing you know, one night... He knowed that. He toiled all night across the sea in a big storm. The next morning that little boat pushed into the willows down there. See her--she was setting up there on the hill; she looked at it. And something told her in her heart, "God has a provided way for me. If I could only touch that Man's clothes, I'm going to get well."
Here she goes down. And when you try to follow God's provided way, like it has been in all ages, you'll find conflict everywhere. I can she her come up against the pastor; he say, "Now, where do you think you're going?"
"I want to touch His garment."
"Nonsense." She pressed right on by him.

L-84 Next thing, she come up there, she come to Brigham Young and all of his bunch of wives. She come and they said, "Well, the days of miracles is past."
She just moved right down moved between their legs and went right on. She didn't care no more. She had the alternative; that was to do what God told her to do in her heart. Amen. That's what we need tonight, is follow God's provided way. She moved right through and touched His garment. Lot of people a hugging Him and everything, said, "Oh, Master, You're..."
Said, "Who touched Me? Who touched Me?"
He looked around to see where the vision was, just the same as He does now. Said, "Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace." Amen.
What was it? A lot of them was saying this, that, and the other. Peter said, when He said, "Who touched Me," he said, "Well, Master, the whole crowd's a touching You."
Said, "I know that somebody's touched Me."
