<TITLE>18. Par 82-86</TITLE>L-82 All right. Now, let's... Are you the lady to be... All right, come here. Every person is a spirit. Every one of you has got a soul. And when you go to believing, it's in that channel of faith. You believe that? Certainly. And if you get with one accord, that's when the Holy Spirit will just move in.
Now, if you just won't... don't... We don't take emotion now. It takes faith and love. "Lord, I love You. You couldn't lie because You're God; I love You." Love settles the thing. When you love your wife with all your heart, with all your soul, you just love her, there ain't nobody in the town could make you believe that she wasn't a good woman. That's right. See? Same thing, the old tattle-tales will come tell you your husband ain't true to you, when you really love him, got confidence in him. Is that right? Love just covers it over. That's all. When you love God, all the fears just scatter everywhere, and you just, say, "God, You're right. And I love You, and I'm healed; and I just go on and take it." That's it. Everything can happen spontaneously, if you just believe it.

L-83 Now, here is a lady. And here's another scene like a Bible scene. Now, the lady is a colored lady; I'm a white man. We both come; we're both Adam's race. Just because she was raised in Africa and me in Ireland, now, that has nothing to do with it. See? Her people come from Africa; mine come from Ireland. And that, God went right down in Africa with me down there and healed them. I seen about, oh, I guess thirty or forty thousand healed with one prayer. That's right. Is that right, Brother Stadsklev? That's right. Right. Right there of--of African native... See? God loves them. They'd set there, some of them's been in heathenism and--or that setting there with leprosy and looking up through those curls of the hair hanging down with mud. And they've got just as much right to eat and live as we have. And their little, hungry children is just as hungry as our little American children are hungry.

L-84 And it's not fair, brethren, and you young men, for just to be putting up church here, and a church over here, and a church over here, and a church over here, and the rest of the world dying for the Word of God, and us fussing and stewing with one another. We ought to be uniting our efforts together and sending missionaries into all the world and preaching the Gospel, for Jesus is coming. That's right.

L-85 Now, now, let's pray, and just be reverent now. Now, is this lady here... We do not know each other. We're strangers, are we, lady? I never seen you in my life, but the Lord Jesus knows you and He knows me.
Now, my theme is--is this: Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. If He's the same, He's got to be the same in power, same in principle, do the same works in the same way. Is that right? Did He say, "I do nothing except the Father shows Me first." Did He say it? All right.

L-86 And now, He told the woman at the well what her trouble was. He told Philip; He knowed--or Nathanael where he was at and what he'd done. He knowed Peter's name. He... Oh, it just on down. That's the things He done. He never claimed to heal. How many knows He never claimed to heal? He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me. I do nothing till the Father shows Me to do," Saint John 5:19. Now, remember Jesus' own Words, that He never did one miracle without God showing Him what to do first. Is that right? What He said.
