<TITLE>03. Par 5-5</TITLE>L-5 Now, I see some of my friends that I've growed up together too, we have together here. And I think a few years ago of little boys playing marble out here on the street, spinning tops, riding horses. And today we're coming into middle-age men. And then I notice their fathers, two or three setting here this morning, that's, oh, when they were young, black-headed men, and today they're setting here shaky and old. And we got to meet that shaky and old experience. But just one by one we're revolving down, just pilgrims and strangers, traveling through.
Now, the blessed thing in here that... Was talking to a young lady just a few moment ago that was suffering from a nervous condition. And the nervous condition, I... She said how she had tried to overcome it. Now, I'm not much of a Christian Science or a Unitarian. I--I don't believe there's anything like mind over matter. I believe God is a Healer. Now, I... The lady was born in that nervous condition. Her mother and father died when she was a child, baby, and raised up just tossed about everywhere, and never had the proper love and care that a baby has.
You know, mother, I want to tell you something. I know I got a little boy back there, and he's really rankly spoiled. But I would rather have him that way; I believe it'll make a better man out of him, if God lets him live, then to let him scream and cry and upset his little self.
Listen. A few years ago some normal modern witch doctors said that, "Let that baby cry. Don't pick it up. That all... All things like that. Don't let grandma touch it." And you know what they hatched out? You see what it is? A juvenile delinquency, a bunch of neurotics. God made a baby to be loved. That's why He made a mother to love a baby. That's why we are--we're--we're supposed to be this a way. God made it that way. And any time that you upset God's program, you must remember, you're wrong and will be wrong, as long as, you're upsetting God's program. Follow God's program. Do it the way God said do it.
Now, the only way that that can be, just like you were born a sinner. And the only way that you can ever become anything else but a sinner; it's got to be another birth. You got to be born a Christian. If you were born a sinner, then you got to be born to be a Christian. And it's got to be something that takes place inside of you. And that's the same thing, has to take place in Divine healing. It has to be something take place, not just a work up or emotion; it's got to be something that actually happens, and you know it happens. See? It's not just, "Oh, well, I'll just think it this way and study it that way." That's doesn't do it. It's got to be something actually take place.
