<TITLE>06. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 And this is the first, and foundation, and the only foundation for Christian truth, lays in God's Bible. It has to come from there.
And in the other lands, how we find them in their pagan ideas, and superstitions, and all kinds of demonology. And don't think that they're not there to challenge you too. They certainly are. So you sure have to know what you're talking about, and Who you know, before you drift into those lands. 'Cause it's certainly... Them witch doctors and so forth is right there to challenge you on every hand.
But don't ever be scared. We serve the only true and living God. That's right.

L-27 Now, I wonder, so I can get kind of a setting of the meetings... I'm here as your servant, as your brother. And I love you with the warmest of Christian love, expecting to spend an eternity with you in another land. And I'm here to do what I think would be best. I'm...
The brethren, I asked them what type of meeting they thought would be suitable here in Phoenix at the time. They said, "Just the way the Lord leads." I like to work with brethren like that. Just the way the Lord leads. "In the multitude of counselors is safety."
So I just wonder in this audience this afternoon, after we go to prayer, you'd think it over, in your hearts, and wonder just what type of meeting... If there sick is here, the predominant is in the line of sick people to be prayed for, well, we'll have healing services. And if it's for preaching services and salvation to the souls and just congregational prayer...

L-28 However, in every service there's always... Divine healing is only the bait. See? You never show the fish the hook; you show him the bait. He grabs the bait and gets the hook. So that's... About ninety--eighty percent of Jesus Christ's meetings were all Divine healing meetings.
But He healed the sick to catch the--the psychology of the people, to catch them to a place and then He preached the Gospel to them. that's right.
That's the way it was in Africa, where we had thirty-thousand converts in one afternoon, thirty-thousand raw heathens. The biggest altar call, I guess, the world has ever made of thirty-thousand raw heathens, double counted over and over. See?
So just on first Divine healing, and then the Gospel right to them. And...

L-29 Now, we want to serve the Lord in the capacity, so we'll pray in a few moments and ask our Lord. And those who'd like to have... feel the Lord would have us to have a healing service, so we can announce it and get started, a healing service, we'll start. Otherwise, we'll start otherwise. Just whatever the Lord's will is, we want it to be done.
I'm just... I usually... I only have one vision now of--that's written here in my Bible and that's for overseas. In here is just whether it's God's will.
Just recently, I was in a fine meeting, big Kellogg Auditorium. And the place was packed to the rafters. Was to be there two weeks, and we'd been there about four days. I went out to a lake to pray one afternoon. And the Lord came down, and I heard something; I looked around. And I was setting on a back of a boat, going up the stream. And the Angel of the Lord was near, and told me to turn aside right then, and go to Minneapolis.
