<TITLE>12. Par 33-36</TITLE>L-33 No, it's not a... It's not that, friends. It's not money. It's not popularity. God knows that. He'd take it away from me right now. It's not popularity. It's because I'm wanting to help you. That's--God knows that that's the truth. He'd... And I tell the truth. And God knows that that's the truth. He has backed me up many a hard battles and close places that I've been into, like He did my Master; but every time God has come on the scene and helped me. I have been challenged in every thing. I've been challenged about three times here in the United States that I know of. And one of those people that did the challenge is in the insane institution tonight. The other two is in the grave. And so, it didn't have to wait no week for it to happen; it happened then. See?

L-34 So then, I--I--I have never feared. I've just went humbly to preach the Gospel. As God sent me to do this. And the things that I speak of right here... Even in one of your papers here not long ago, the old "Louisville Herald," I believe it was, or something like that, declared the article when it was down here on the river, and that Light come down and hung over where I was at, when I was baptizing, a young minister many years ago out across the country. Now, they got the picture of it. Many of you have it in your homes, hanging in Washington, DC. Throughout there's thousands times thousands of pictures. And when the best of fingerprint and document can be found in the United States has checked it over and went to everywhere, and he declares it to be a supernatural Being.
There's probably people setting right here tonight who seen It come right down, visible before your eyes; and I pray that it'll do it in here in Louisville this week: right down before the people. And I have told the truth. God has testified it is the truth. And the scientific world has to say it's the truth. Now, you can draw your opinion. May the Lord bless you.

L-35 Now, in seeing a vision, as you all know, that you--all of you's been in my meeting. Might be one or two that hasn't been here. It's--it's a Divine gift. It's just like a gift to play music. I was watching the little ladies here tonight and this morning it was now, when I was here how they we're playing that music so lovely. My, I wish I could do that. But I can't. I don't... Only thing I know... I don't know whether it's in tune or out of tune. I just know it's making a noise and it's music, and that's all I know about it. But let it get out a little tune, they could tell you, because they're musicians. See?
Well, I--I wouldn't know. And to build this house... I was noticing the--the architect of it. I'd like to see one like this I'd build. It--it would look horrible. But you see, God has men to build houses; He has some to preach the Gospel, some to teach. God has set... God has set in the church, first, apostles, a prophets, teachers, evangelists, and gifts of healing, and working of miracles, and so forth: all for the perfecting of the saints: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.

L-36 Now, if He stood here tonight, behind this desk where I'm standing, with His human flesh, wearing the same suit standing here, that as far as healing you, He could not do it. For He couldn't do twice, what He's done once did it. See? He's already healed you. "By His stripes you were healed," said Peter in the New Testament. Is that right? Isaiah spoke of it coming. "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity." Isaiah...
Peter afterward said that's where it was done. There's where you was forgiven of your sins at Calvary. You just accepted it. He did it two thousand years ago, and you accepted it w--last week, or two years ago, or whenever it was. He healed you two thousand years ago; you can accept it tonight. But the only thing we can do would be the preaching of the Gospel or some sign to get your faith pointed to Jesus Christ. Is that right? The Lord bless you.
