<TITLE>08. Par 28-32</TITLE>L-28 See, so many a revivals are going across the country and people are claiming to be saved, and great evangelists saying they had so many thousands saved and so forth. I believe it's been... And then you go back and find out those people don't stay. They just... just an emotion in the meeting, and their worked away. Many people in the meeting raise up and claim healing and walk away, more by emotion or more by--more by psychic than they do by real Divine revelation of--of the Lord Jesus. And the first little pain strikes them, they give up and say, "Well, I didn't get my healing." Now, if you really believe that with your heart, ten thousand pains would never make you give it up. That's right, 'cause you, your faith is already went to motion. You--you, you're in action right then.

L-29 Now, when--when God spoke to Noah and told him the impossible... Now, there was no rain, never had rained, and never was a cloud in the sky or anything else; but Noah knew that it was going to rain because God said so.
Now, he was considered fanatic. He was considered a little crazy, I suppose, in his day, a real fanatic. And most always, when you find people that'll dare to take God at His Word, they're considered neurotics or fanatics. That's right. The real true believer has never had the world to pat him on the back; it's always against him, because he takes God at His Word. And God has never been a friend to the world in the way of the world a being a friend of God, I mean. they're against God because they can't understand God. And you'll never know God only by faith.

L-30 But Noah, he moved with fear, knowing that there was coming a destruction; and he built an ark because he had his faith rested upon God's eternal Word. No matter how much the people said it can't be done, no matter how much science combed the globe and said there'll never be clouds up there, there's no rain to come down; if God's Word said that it's going rain, it's up to God to make a way for the rain. If God said so, that settles it.
That's what we ought a do. That's what this--this little group in here ought to do tonight. Take God just for what He says, Don't make no difference how it looks; don't reason it. If you've only got intellectual faith, you'll reason God's Word; you'll try to reason It, say, "Now, let me see. Now, the doctor said I can't get well, and if the doctor said so, that ought to settle it." That's reason. Faith don't reason; faith believes it anyhow.

L-31 Look how many's been here--how many I guess right in here know that the doctor's has give up. Look at the great clinics, John Hopkins, Mayo Brothers, and through my own humble ministry, I've seen Almighty God turn those people to naught and heal the sick that they said it was impossible for them to get well. And the magazines and so forth packed the articles of it. See, it's the people's faith. Them men... I have nothing against the clinics, now, understand, or the doctor's; they're all right. But they're men; their knowledge is limited; but God's unlimited. And when God says anything, it's just that way. It just has to be.

L-32 And you watch, science will try to prove God to be a liar. Here sometime ago, they said God sure made a mistake, when he said that he made the firmament before there was a sun to make the light, that He made a mistake. But you know what, they got fumbling around in God's laboratory and found out that God was right, yeah. They got an X-ray now that'll take your picture without any light. So the Bible said your--your body is full of light. And we come to find out the old scientist said that was a crazy, there was no light in your body, but the Bible said your whole body's full of light. And we find out today that your body is made up of light meters. X-ray proves it; it takes your own light from your body to take the picture on the inside of you, so God's right after all.
