<TITLE>25. Par 81-83</TITLE>L-81 Oh, we know then. I would've never said that, brother, God knows that, if that vision hadn't have been there. No, sir. But God had said so, and that settled it. That was the same thing that took place in Africa. Certainly, I knowed it wasn't me no longer. I was just His mouthpiece. There it was.
That's the same thing that took place in Finland when I raised the dead boy. You've read the story. Certainly, that's right. He's God. He don't tell His servants all things, but when He wants to use you, He can put His hands on you, take you here and do it. If you'll just be humble and stay in your position, He can make more glory out of it, than all the diddle-dattling along you can do or I can do. That's right. Abide in your calling, and stay in there till God's ready to move you somewhere. That's right.

L-82 There, when he stood there, I said, "It's awful quiet." I said, "Why? Because you can't do it and neither can I... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... God of heaven, Jehovah God has raised up His son, Christ Jesus, Who has stood here by me this night and showed me a vision that this man is going to receive his sight, and it's, THUS SAITH THE LORD. If God doesn't give that man his sight, I'm a false prophet." And I said, "Then my religion I'm representing, I'm falsely representing Christianity. But if the God has said this; then if He does it, how many here will forsake your superstitions and serve the living God Who can restore the sight to the blind?" And as far as you can see, those hands raised in the air. See?
There's the showdown. That's the proof. As the old saying, "The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof." There it is. Not our theology and not our psychology, but the truth of the real true Creator Who made the heavens and earth. And as the Holy Spirit brood us from the earth, surely the brooding of the Holy Ghost can restore us back to our right conditions.

L-83 And there standing in that place, turning then with a heart just assured as much faith as I believe I could walk to that microphone. Yes, sir. Because, not 'cause it was me. No, brethren. That had nothing to do with it. It was Jehovah God ready to move on the scene. That's right. And He'd just showed me by a vision, through a gift. And He wanted to use it at that time. Surely before a bunch of heathens that He would use His gift. There, standing there, walked up to the man and put my hands upon his face, like that.
And I said, "Heavenly Father, You Who showed the vision a few moments ago," I said, "I feel like Paul of old when he was on the ship, and said, 'Be of a good courage.' See? For I know that You'll give this man his sight, because Thou has said so. And I have spoke Your Word and I... With all the wisdom I have, I have made each one promise that they would receive you as personal Saviour if You would do this. Now, God, the God Who made the heavens and earth, now You Who raised Jesus from the dead, as we can stand and see gravitation lose its power, for He's the center of gravitation as He raised that cold form body out of the grave and sent Him into glory. Now, let it be known that You're God this day. I ask it in the Name of Jesus Christ."
