<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 Now, then they take up a love offering and if... for me, at the last night of the service. And then, if there's not enough money has come in to pay the--the campaign free, then I take my love offering and pay that, and not ask the people. The love offering does that. I've never asked one of the managers.
Mr. Baxter, he gets a freewill offering when he's in. Brother Moore, there, won't take nothing. But Brother Baxter always taken one night's offering. That was a Saturday night. And I've never asked one of the managers to give... Brother Bosworth, or any of them to--to put in one penny. That's theirs.
But out of my own offering... And my wife, which is up there in the balcony or just coming down, rather... She has said... She's a witness. And if you want to come to Jeffersonville, or anywhere you wish to, check it... I have never been guilty, and will not, as long as God helps me, to ever use the Lord's money for anything that's not right.

L-14 And every penny of money that I get a hold of, every penny... If I'd have a love offering and it... Say I'd have five hundred dollars in the love offering, a thousand dollars in the love offering, well, I go home to the office... If I don't need any of it in the meeting, maybe it's some left over, might run up two hundred dollars over, make it say twelve hundred dollars. And I go home and I ask my secretary, "How much do we need?"
"Well, you're overdrawn so much in the bank." I put that in to fill that up. Then I find out how much it'll be approximately to--to live on till the next meeting. Then what's left over of that, I put it in foreign missions. That's true. For myself, I keep nothing. And most of my clothes and things are give to me. People give it to me. We live like ordinary people, when God in heaven knows I'd be a multi-millionaire if I wanted to be.
But far be it from me to ever take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to commercialize it. Never in my life will I ever want to be guilty of such a thing as that. And I--I never want to be.

L-15 The next thing is... One thing for a minister is money, and the next thing is immoral living, which when I was a sinner, I tried to live clean and decent. And then the next thing is popularity. Usually when God blesses a man, gives him a little ministry, he begins to think he's above everybody else. And that's just the time he's on his road out. That's right. See? That's...
You never... You're no more, no matter what God has made you, and if He's give you a ministry that's so big that... or whatever is, remember, we're only men. It's God (that's all), that does it. And we must keep that kind of an attitude and love the people.

L-16 The Lord bless you now, and may He greatly increase your faith. Tomorrow at Sunday school, you visitors here, visit some of these good Full Gospel churches. Take your place there, and just like you was a member. I'm sure they'll make you feel at home, everywhere.
This morning at a little meeting we had, I met a fine group of people. We got together with one heart and one soul this morning. It was supposed to be a ministerial breakfast, but it was a spiritual break... It was a ministerial breakfast, the right kind, the kind you don't eat at: You fast and preach the Gospel. So in that, we had a wonderful time. You got some fine men and women here in Phoenix.
God help you to be one accord. May that lovely spirit that existed in that room this morning never leave Phoenix. May It stay right with you. Then you'll see a revival break in Phoenix that there'll be nothing around here can hold it. God bless you now.
