<TITLE>04. Par 14-19</TITLE>L-14 And so I've seen thousands of those. And now, I don't give myself credit. I have no credit. I'm only grateful to God that He let's me take the message to others. For any man that would have anything good and keep it himself and wouldn't divide it with someone else, is selfish. And that's not the Christian attitude. We must be willing to help others, and see that others get--gets the same blessing that we're getting.

L-15 If I was to be a millionaire tonight, I'd want everybody in the world to be a millionaire. See? 'Cause I--I... We are brothers. We might disagree upon different things, but we're still brothers and sisters. We love each other when the love of God is in our hearts.
And even being enemies, as--if we'd have any, which we probably have... But still, we love them anyhow because they, no matter what of estate they're in, they're God's children, fallen, but they're God's children yet.
And now, tonight my purpose is to try to base your faith on the Word of God, that you might know that Jesus Christ is not dead. But He's living right here in Chicago in this room tonight. If we'd only seen what He did...

L-16 And let's look at it just as sensibly. And to some of you people who do understand, bear with the newcomers. We could just ask this question.
The theme of my campaign has always been Jesus Christ the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever. And if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He's bound to do the same things that He did yesterday, for that's how we know Who He was by the things He done.
Even the Jews, the great Nicodemus, the teacher, came to Him by night and said, "Rabbi, we know that Thou art a Teacher come from God. For no man can do these things that You do 'less God would be with him." They knew that.

L-17 Well, now, if He has raised from the dead, and promised that the very same things that He did, we would do also, now, that's got to be either right or wrong. Isn't that right, church? It's right or wrong. Well, if it is right, let's embrace it and love Him with all of our hearts. If it isn't right, let's get away from it 'cause it's not right.
When they was reading the Koran Bible to me, not long ago in India, and someone had been there a little before me, and they wanted to believe that part of It was inspired, and Mark 16 wasn't inspired and some more of It wasn't inspired. He said, "What kind of a Bible have you got?"
Said, "We believe all the Koran's inspired."
Said, "If part of this is inspired and the rest of it's not inspired, how can you have faith?" That's right.

L-18 Now, It's either all inspired or none of It's inspired. I believe every word of It is inspired, written by God, if we can only rightly put it in Its place, where It belongs. And if we put it in Its place, God will perform and operate and prove His Word.
Now, you couldn't put a grain of corn in a box of sawdust or ashes, and it would grow. It won't do it. It's got to be in the right kind of soil to make it grow. Is that right?

L-19 Well, that's... It's corn; it'll grow if it's in the right place. And wheat, you couldn't put it out in a dry place like you would raise onions, or turnips, or something in sandy ground. You couldn't put a wheat out there, for it wouldn't grow. It's got to be in... It's bedded down in water. See?
It's got to be in the right kind of soil, and so does God's Word have to be put in the right kind of soil, or faith, or it won't produce nothing. You see what I mean?
Yet you receive it as the Word, but if it isn't in the right kind of a soil, it won't materialize. It just can't, because there's nothing there to make it grow. But if it's ever received with faith, something's going to happen.
