<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 Just only one third of it knows about Jesus now after nine--nineteen hundred years. "Into all the world and preach the Gospel." Now, the Gospel's not the Word only, but making the Word manifest. Paul said so. "Gospel came not in Word only, but through the power and manifestation of the Holy Spirit is the Gospel must be preached to every nation, and these signs shall follow them that believe."
Now, we just can't cut that out. We've got to face it. That's right. We've got to face it.
And now, many times today I know, Christian friends, that there's been many mockeries made out of those things. We can expect that. If there wasn't any mockery, why, there wouldn't be any...?...

L-10 But we have... As long as you see there's a bogus dollar, remember that dollar was made off of a real dollar. When you see somebody impersonating a Christian, just remember there's a real Christian that he's patterned off of somewhere.
Down in India, you get when you go down to the... There in Bombay and different places, you find just religious clowns; I call them. They lay out on spikes; they'll walk through fire; they'll cut themselves and do all kinds of enchantments and so forth to get some money. They're only clowning.
Way back in the interior there, there's a man true, honest at heart that's cutting himself, walking through fire, trying to appease the gods that he serves See? But this out on the side is a hypocrite to that--to that heathen worshipper, but he's only trying to make money out of it.

L-11 And we have men today that goes through the land, and now not only evangelists who pray for the sick, but all around. And we have people in our churches who impersonate each other, try to say, "Now, because she did it, I will too. Because he did it, I will too." That's hypocrisy. You are what you are by the grace of God. And just be yourself. God will love you better, and the people will love you better too, if you'll just be yourself. Be honest and sincere in what you do, and God will bless your efforts.
And now, here a few days ago, a man... I was reading a book, where a man wrote a terrible article against me. I believe I mentioned it yesterday or sometime. And about how that he knowed a man that I'd prayed for, or had called out in the audience, and he was healed of a trouble for two years. It come back on him and he said that showed that Divine healing's wrong, said, or the man would have stayed healed.

L-12 Well, the doctor will different with him there even so... But I think that a--a person trying to introduce to a nation, and to a world that's almost atheiotic now... A man that'll breathe the Name of the Lord Jesus and claim to be His servant... I believe if a man would represent me, and I was a sinner, would represent me to the public like some people represents the Lord Jesus, I'd be willing to have him arrested and put in jail. That's right.
Why, they try to say that He's a weakling. "Why, He--He--He--He was a God Who lived many years ago, but He doesn't live today. It is just some little book, or something other, we keep a few creeds of His life for." No, sir. I do not believe that. I believe that He's just as live, and real today as He was when He opened the Red Sea and the children of Israel marched through, just as real today as He went into the fiery furnace with the Hebrew children, to the lion's den with Daniel, or stood on the banks of the Galilee, and restored the leper to his normal condition, or touched--the woman touched Him, with the blood issue. I believe He's just the same Lord Jesus today, just as real and just as alive as He ever was. I think there's no fault with Him. The fault's in us. I think there's where the fault is. Now, let's get the fault out.
