<TITLE>23. Par 73-76</TITLE>L-73 Then, and when this man came, It told him who he was. Said he was a beggar, and he was a worshiper of the sun. You've heard of it. And told him that he had been blind twenty years. Just... White as my shirt, his face. That was right. He said that was right. And as I looked to the audience, there sat the rajah, ever what it was, and them people there. They thought it was the working of a telepathy or something. You could tell it. And I said, "Is there a doctor present that would like to examine the man?" Which there wasn't no doctor. You could see he was totally blind. You see? And I said to him, "Sir, there's nothing I could do for you." See, I done told him who he was, and that was right. Told him he had two children, and that was right. Told him how long he had been blind; that was right. And told him that he was seeking relief for his eyes, a healing. And that in his heart, he said that he would serve any God that would make him well. See? He would serve any God that would make him well. Now, here's what I say for your, that you know your God now, brother. See? Any God that...

L-74 And there they set with at least fifteen different religions setting around: worship of flies, worship of cattle, worship of this, worship that. You know how India is. It's just full of superstitions. And there they set in that condition, all around. And I thought, "Oh, God..." And I said, "Now, here is the man. He's blind. I... There's nothing I could do to help him." I said, "God knows that." And as I looked, he appeared with his eyes looking around, you know, in the vision, rubbing his eyes, smiling.
Oh, brothers, oh, I only wished I had the vocabulary now or the--the something within me to let you see and know what that means: such a feeling. See? It's no longer a faith I have to use. It's a drama. God has already said it. All heavens and earth will pass, but His Word won't. All the devils out of hell couldn't stop it now. God has said so. See? That settles it.
Like when He told me yesterday morning up there. Oh, I don't care: let the waves roar; that has nothing to do with it. The little boy in Finland, all the many places, when God has said so, that settles it. It's THUS SAITH THE LORD then. See? Watch it.

L-75 I thought, "Oh, God, how I thank You. You're still Jehovah. You're still the Almighty." Then I--then I knowed my position. I knowed where I was standing then. I don't care how many devils that he sent; They--there's no failure then. God has done said so. You feel like Elijah on Mount Carmel, standing right there when he hollered to the prophets of Baal, "Maybe he's gone on a trip. Maybe he's pursuing." Elijah said, "I've done this, Lord, at Your command." He knowed exactly what was going to happen. That's the reason he could say it.
Oh, brethren, our religion is not a fiction. It's not some Santa Claus story. It's a real living Jesus. Don't be afraid to put Him to the test on His Word, 'cause He will keep His Word then. That's right. He will keep His Word.

L-76 There when I seen that I thought, "Oh, God. As it was in Africa, now You're going to do it in India." And I turned to the audience. I said, "Gentlemen of the religions of India." I could not address them as brethren, because they wasn't my brethren. "Gentlemen of the religions of India, you were telling me today in you temple down there..."
Oh, how God always makes a way. Yes, sir. Don't fight. Just let Him have the way. Just let Him alone. You just walk on. Follow Him.
