<TITLE>03. Par 17-25</TITLE>L-17 When little Doctor... forget his name, was... He was preaching the power of the resurrection of Christ, was in, you know, a great formal church in New York City not long ago. I had it in the paper, where it was cut out. And his congregation was all against him. He believed in the supernatural, the resurrection of Christ, the Eternal Life, the baptism of the Spirit to give Life to the individual believer, and signs and wonders.
And his congregation was fixing to put him out. And he had... They had a lease there. He had some option that he could stay at this church for so long, and oh, they just--they just set there and soured down on the man preaching. But he was convicted that he was right. He was a sick man too, had... And he said... No, he wasn't a sick man. I beg your pardon. He--he just died at the pulpit, but he wasn't a sick man. So he... They--they grieved him to death. And so they just soured down on him and wouldn't listen to him, and everything. He just kept on preaching the truth. And they said...
They--they had... It was a social religion, "Oh, we come together. And Mrs. Jones, over here, belongs to here, so we come together. And we have our little tea parties and everything." It's just a social affair, but he believed that that was nonsense.
"That we should come together and be born again..." And they made fun of him, and everything, about his religion, everything.

L-21 And one morning, while standing there, crying at the pulpit, preaching that Jesus Christ was a reality, he hit a heart attack. And he--he--he started falling, and he stood back like that. And some of them... He had a couple of doctors in his audience, so they come picked him up. They put the thing on his heart.
They said, "He's got a heart attack." Said, "Sir, you're-- you're--you're dying."
He said, "Am I dying?"
Said, "Yes."
Said, "Have two of my faithful deacons to come here."
They come around and lifted him up. And they said, "Now, what does this new religion, this thing that you're talking about, mean to you now?"
And he said, "Now, turn me loose." They turned him loose. He lifted up his hands. He said, "On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand. All other grounds is sinking sand." And as he did, he staggered backwards like this. There was a cross hanging behind him. He throwed one arm over one cross, and one over the other side, like that. Said, "All other grounds is sinking sands. All other grounds is sinking sand."
Thought, "O God, that's the way." That's it. That's it, died on the cross (You see?), for... All other grounds is sinking sands. Christ is the only hope we have. Our faith is built on nothing less.

L-25 Now, this morning I was going to go into the Book of--of Hebrews, the 7th chapter. Being that hearing these testimonies this morning and or requests for prayer, I thought I'd just change it from teaching on "Melchisedec being the Priest, the order made after the high priest, remaineth a Priest forever." And come back over in the Gospel, or the Acts, rather, and speak, or teach this morning on Divine healing instead, because being so many people that's--that's sick.
I just heard them requests. I was setting there, fixing, reading, studying on this here 6th chapter of--of Hebrews where Melchisedec the King of Salem, the King of Peace, and so forth. Now, I begin to hear all... I heard him, Brother Neville, ask if anyone... I begin to hear, "My mother; my baby; my this; my..."
I thought, "Oh..."
Something just said, "Go back over into the New Testament now, over into one of the..." And I turned over here then, begin to read in the Acts, the 4th chapter, is where we're going to start from this morning to read. Just don't know why, but the Holy Spirit wanting me to--to change this over to teach on this. Not knowing what to say, of course never, but just being submissive to the Holy Spirit...
