<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 The other day... I usually go by when I have a vision, but this time it wasn't a vision; it was just something impressed me. I was setting in the woods. I'd been out there for eight or ten days, just go--come in at nighttime about nine o'clock, go back next morning about four, just to keep away from the public and to rest and pray. And setting there, it seemed like something come to me. I said, "Lord, why is it... Now, I can't go overseas; I've got to have some kind of a sponsorship. I can't go over there take up money from them people, so they're poor. And the American public has to sponsor it, and I have to come back and have a year or two's meetings, then go over and spend what I got, and then come back and take some more meetings." I said, "I don't know, seemingly, then if you leave America your services go down then it's--it's finished for awhile, looks like. And it's so hard to build back again."
And Something said to me, "But you haven't done what I told you to do." See?
And I said, "Well--well, what is it." Now, I was just answered myself back. Now, just let myself relax and let the Spirit do the talking. Now, it wasn't a vision; I don't even say it was a revelation. I don't know. Just something looked like telling me. And said, "Well, what happened..." See?
I said, "Well, didn't You tell me to go do this?" And I've watched and kept it. And Mr. Baxter told me one time... Now, when the--the Angel of the Lord first met me, He said, "Now, you were born to pray for sick people. And you take this gift to the peoples of the world."

L-11 You've read this testimony over and over, and if you'll check it... Now, them days, to be honest I didn't know that the Scripture said gift instead of gifts. But if you'll follow... All I done was wrote down what He said. And many times He tells me things; I just write down what He says, 'cause I don't know what it means. I just write it down, and I find out it comes to pass.
And now, I questioned of my ability. He said... I'm not no education, no personality and what could I do; people won't believe me. And He told me these gifts would be a confirmation, like Moses done signs before the people. And I started off, and I'd start my prayer lines and come down the prayer lines, praying for the sick people, going along; and great things was happening. Many of you remember my early ministry.

L-12 And after while I'd hit a woman or a man or something that wasn't right, I'd stop them right there. And whenever I'd do it, I'd tell the people what was the matter and what you should do and so forth, pass them on and pray for others.
Then the people begin to see that done, oh, they rallied for that. And then we just finally cut the whole thing out all to perfect discernment all the time. And that's what He didn't want me to do. And that's right. I'm just supposed to pray for the sick people (That's right.), just pray for the people. And after all you know, if a people... It's especially here at home, if they've have been taught to lay hands on the sick and pray for them, that's what they believe. And you say, "Does that have anything to do with it?" It certainly does.

L-13 Why did Jesus stand here one time look out upon the harvest... How many believes He was the Lord of the harvest? Sure, we all do. And He looked out upon the harvest; He said, "Pray ye, the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest." Now, in other words, "You ask Me, to do just what I know that's got to be done; but yet, you got to ask Me for it." Said, "You have not because you ask not." Is that right? "You ask not because you believe not."
