<TITLE>02. Par 6-8</TITLE>L-6 Most of the ministers, who preach Divine healing, are usually, all that I have ever met, are great teachers of the Word. Some of them just have a great powerful faith, just lay hands on the people, and scream out, and make the enemy leave them. Now, that's faith; that's a gift of faith. They believe that they're going to receive what they ask for. That's the reason they take a hold of it in that manner. And I admire man like that, man like Oral Roberts, and A. A. Allen, and many of the men on the field, who has great ministry--ministerial gifts of the Spirit to move in faith.
Now, the little humble gift that the Lord Jesus, by His grace, has let me have, I'm not a--much of a preacher; if any of you know me, you know that. But my gift is by vision, to see. And now, in the Bible, we're taught that gifts and callings are without repentance. It isn't that you're... Because God give you a little gift, it doesn't make any different from anyone else. You were just all human beings, sinners saved by His grace. It's all we can make of ourselves. And we...

L-7 But God has put some in the church, first apostles, or missionaries (They're both the same word.), meaning "one sent." Now, how that people ever wanted to be called a missionary, instead of an apostle, I don't know. But it's the same word, "one that has been sent."
Apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors. God has set those in the church. Now, that's His ministerial gifts, that's given to the church.

L-8 Now, in each local church, there's nine spiritual gifts that's given to the people, and that's what you know of I Corinthians, 12, of speaking in tongues, and interpretations, and the gift of prophecy, and--and wisdom, and knowledge, and so forth. Those ministerial gifts--or those gifts that go into the church, which is... Every member of the body of Christ is subject to any of those gifts at any time. God gives them, and works through the members of His church. And they're all working together for one purpose, to the perfecting of the body of Christ. And that's what we are here for tonight, to--for the setting in order, or the getting ready of the soon appearing of our blessed Saviour, Jesus Christ, which we believe with all of our hearts, will soon come down through the skies to take home a church, that's the remnant of those who love Him and keep the commandments of God.
And we believe that we're living in that type of a day now, when sputniks are in the skies, and--and the modern tower of Babel is being in--is making. They fly to the moon and so forth. We believe that Jesus is soon coming, and it's later than we think.
