<TITLE>02. Par 6-10</TITLE>L-6 Every vision brings me weaker and weaker all the time. That way, friends, it's not... My ministry's not a personal contact to each one; it's to lift up Jesus Christ so everyone can see His Presence. Then you look and live, everyone one of you. Look and believe, that's all it is.
In Africa and different countries where Brother Baxter and I have ministered in the Name of the Lord, it's worked marvelous. I've heard people say that after the service is over, they'd see the Lord perform one outstanding thing, maybe thousands would be healed at the same time, just literally thousands get up out of chairs, and cots, and stretchers.

L-7 See, there's nothing in a man could heal you anyhow. I'm just your brother. I... If there's any way that I could heal someone and would not do it, I'd be a brute at heart, to see little suffering children and people with heart trouble, and cancer, such things that would kill them right away. Maybe their doctor's done all that they know how to do for them and there's nothing can save their life. They're calling for mercy from God.
Life isn't a flower bed of ease for me; I have my critics. But I must. Jesus said I must. Jesus said that all must do that, that's followed Him. He had them and I must have them. But from the very depths of my heart, and God knows the integrity of my heart, I'm only trying my best to do something to help poor suffering humanity, when their last chance is gone as far as the doctor is concerned, to try to help them to be well.

L-8 When I do get a chance to sleep at night, I can lay down with this thought in my mind, "I've done my best. I've done all I know how to do to make life a little more pleasant to my fellow citizens, pilgrims, travelers on the road home to heaven." And I trust that you'll receive it in that manner.
Now, I wish to read a little Scripture at this time. And I know that my words is the word of a man. This is God's Word, the Bible. And all Scriptural doctrine must be based upon this Word. If it's anything contrary to the Word, it's not right. It must come out of the Bible. And no matter who would come to you, prophet, priest, potentate, what, if he speaks contrary to this, it's not right. This is the Word.

L-9 This is the Word to the nations. But God has set in the Church prophets, apostles, teachers, evangelists, gifts, and so forth, for the edifying of the Body. Maybe there'd be something individual with your life that you'd need just a little lift to do something; God has gifts in the Church to do that. Some of them are great speakers who can reveal the--the Bible with great forceful speaking.
That's one way. Another thing He has is the prophets in the Scripture, who can interpret the--the meaning of this person. A seer who sees what this person has done in life, being perfectly secret to him, know what was. If he knows what has been in your life, you know whether that's right or not. Surely if he knows what has been in life, if he'd tell you what will be, if the first was right, the second will be right. See, it's got to be.

L-10 That's the way we accepted the Bible. When Moses wrote the chronology, the--the beginning, the Genesis and so forth, we--we accept what he said, knowing it was right from the way the world was laid out. Then we believe that his prophecy that was to come would be right. And we've seen the most of it fulfilled.
Now, in there sometimes He has gifts in the Church. We've made havoc, the Church has. Some of them has denied the gifts altogether, and put it on another age. Some people has tried to impersonate the gifts and made a disgrace out of it. That still means there's a real genuine gift of God. If there's a bogus dollar, it only shows there's a real dollar it was made off of. If it isn't, the bogus is the real.
