<TITLE>05. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 Now, just believe Him tonight, and He will do you the same way. For He's no respect of persons; He's respecting faith. God only will honor faith. Even your salvation sometimes won't--won't atone for your healing. Not the merits of your salvation, you're not healed by that; you're healed by the merit of your faith. See?
I've seen Christians come to the platform, renowned Christians, and failed to be healed, and see a prostitute walk on the platform, be healed instantly. See? Because the Christian had been drug through a many places, and skeptic, kind of believing, "Wonder if the days of miracles is past?" And they'll go off missing it. And a poor old prostitute come to the platform knowing that she's guilty, condemned before God, and there give her heart to Christ, and be healed instantly with no--just walk away. So it's on the merit of your faith.
Look in the times of Jesus, how the Pharisees and Sadducees, they walked by and doubted. And the street women and so forth, of that day and so forth, and the beggars, and things would be healed, where many of the others didn't get healed. See? It was on the merits of your faith.

L-14 Now, we're going to speak a little tonight about to be expecting, what you can expect to receive. And let's have our expectations high. And now, and the--for the next few moments I want to speak on that.
Now, the first thing you want to think of friend, is always the--the Word of God. As I said last night, the Word of God is a Seed. And that Seed planted in the right ground will produce anything that the Seed represents. If there's a seed, and it's wheat, if that wheat's germitized, and the right seed going into the right kind of ground, will produce wheat. Corn will produce corn. Barley will produce barley. And every Divine promise of God will produce just exactly what it promised to produce, if it's put in the right kind of a place.

L-15 As I said today to a friend, "It's the atmosphere." That's what it is. You want to... If you want to get a great healing service here tonight, let's have a great atmosphere of belief, believing you're going to be healed. See? Now, no matter how real Jesus would be here at the platform, or out there, He couldn't heal you unless the atmosphere is right for your healing. See?
Now look, when Jesus went into His own country, many mighty works He could not do because of their [Audience says, "Unbelief"--Ed.] unbelief, is right, unbelief. No matter how great He was, He was Jehovah God invested in a body of flesh. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. But He could not move until faith come.

L-16 If... How many knows Brother Bosworth? I know you all do. He's quite a fellow for jokes, and not bad, good jokes. But it not--I mean what the world calls... The American people are a whole lot that way; they're looking for entertainment. That's the reason today our churches is got so much off of the line, is because they got a whole lot of Hollywood evangelism. That's right, a whole lot of glamour boys out, acting and going through a lot of going on, and trying to decorate up, and put on a lot of psychology, when I'm the one type that like the old fashion Blood-washed Gospel, that can really bring the Gospel out. That's right.
I do not believe that we should go on with a lot of carrying on, and classic, and everything. Just make the Gospel pure, and plain, and simple. You don't have to speak big words that Webster don't even know; the only thing you have to do is just preach the Gospel plain and true; they'll understand it.
