<TITLE>08. Par -</TITLE>L-11-1 Now, that's when God's a-using His gift. That doesn't weaken me. That doesn't bother me. Now, when Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave, was a far more of a miracle than what the woman was that touched His garment and was healed with the blood issue. You admit that? He never said one word about getting weak and virtue going out of Him, because God was using His gift. See? That's them kind of visions. That's that type of vision. But when people use the gift of God... And what makes me weak and so at the platform, it's you, yourself. That's what's a-doing it. You, yourself is a-doing the work, the operating. That's the reason it's pulling through. It's either you using God's gift or God using His gift.

L-11-2 Now, in comparison, I'd say... If you ask me, "What's in there?"
"Well, it's a--a giraffe."
"What else did you see?"
Whats?  A getting tired. See? It's a something else you see.
But now, when God wants you to know what's take place, and--He just picks you up and raises you up above the whole thing and said, "Here is the whole circus. (See?) This is the whole picture. You're going to do this, and do this, and do this, and that," sets you back down. He's got you lifted up with His everlasting arms and wings, and there's nothing in the world... You come back down, and you feel like shouting the victory, but that's it.

L-11-4 Now, most people, they think that someone who sees visions ought to be Divine. No, sir, not by no means. No, sir. There's no one Divine but God. That's all. And there's no one. There's no difference in none of us. We're all sinners saved by grace. And one's not above the other one: just one's given something, and he'll have to answer for what he done with what talent was give him. That's right. Every person that has to answer for that.

L-12-1 Now, I might tell you a vision that's just recently happened, and so that... Brother Joseph asked me to do this, so that the people that's here in the building that couldn't get the--the issue of this magazine, would understand it.

L-12-2 I made... When I first became a--a servant of the Lord to pray for His sick children... You know the story how He told me that I was born to pray for sick people. Now, you say, "Oh, I've heard that many times...?... of different people." That's all right. See, that--they might... I--I can't answer for someone else. I have to answer for my own, and you have to answer for yours.
Now, that is true. And then when He told me that, I knew that there was--in this ministry there would have to be a lot of things under consideration: money for one thing. Well, I made a promise to God that I wouldn't take the people's money, and I'd ask Him... I didn't want people's money, but I knowed in that there'd be a lot of money given to me, and I'd have to refuse it. So I told Him as long as He prospered my ways, so I wouldn't have to beg for money, I would stay on the field as long as He prospered me. But when He got so He failed me till where we'd have to beg or take hours or whatever they do to take up offerings (as I seen it many a time in my own denomination church that I belonged to then,), then I said I--I would come in off the field.
