<TITLE>10. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 Then this maniac when he came to his right mind as the devils left him, he wanted to follow the Lord Jesus. Everybody that ever gets in their right mind wants to follow the Lord Jesus. I don't want to hurt your feelings, sinner, but that's true. You come to your right mind, you'll follow the Lord Jesus. Jesus don't take your mind from you. He gives you your right mind. True.
Now, notice, then when they come, going to have a revival over there. But you know what, them people there were hog raisers. And they never want no revival, because it cost them two thousand hogs to have a revival. So they wasn't interested in a revival, as long as it was going to cost them some hogs.

L-30 I just wonder if people around in the country today just, about got the same attitude. That's right. Going to cost a little something, why--why, they don't want it. Want everything on a silver platter. That's the reason you don't enjoy it.
One of the greatest meetings that was ever held, I guess it was... I just... I don't whether it was Moody. I forget just who it was now. Well, anyhow, an old wash woman, God laid it upon her heart. Brother Moore might remember the instance. Oh, it's back couple hundred years ago and so... I'm not meaning he's that old, but I mean that he might knowed it by his history. So I didn't mean Brother Moore was just quite that old anyway.

L-31 But when this old wash woman had prayed, and God had told her that she was going to have a revival. And she went around on the street passed out little tract, hired some preacher to come. She took her wash bench down and cleaned out the livery stable, and hired it, and rented it with her money that she had washed with.
And when everybody throwed the--the pamphlets down on the street and wouldn't receive it, a little old boy come by with his daddy's suspenders on and hair hanging down his face and, "What are you giving away, lady?"
Give him one of the little tracts and invited him to the meeting and that night when the preacher come, that old lady and that boy was the only one at the meeting. And when the preacher, true of God, preached just like they was ten thousand setting there. And the little boy came to the altar that night, was that A. B. Simpson? A. B. Simpson who almost led a half a million souls to God. Who gets credit for it? Amen.

L-32 You see it's not the big things you do. It's the little things you leave undone. You've got to sacrifice. Why, that's the reason the people...?... come into a meeting. Why, they come by the thousands times thousands. They like to get out in the cold way; they like to do something for God. That's what we ought to do. Don't make any difference what it is. Let's do something for God. Make a sacrifice. For the Bible said that we are priests of God making spiritual sacrifices, the fruits of our lips giving praise to His Name.
All right. But when them people thought it was going to cost them a few hogs, they come down and asked Him to leave the country. So if you ask Him to go, He will go. He won't stay around very long. No, no. He will never stay where He's not welcome. He always comes where He's welcome.
You remember the sermon not long ago of the woman washing Jesus' feet. He always stays where He's welcome. He feels at home when you welcome Him.
