<TITLE>02. Par 6-10</TITLE>L-6 And now, we are... Reason I preach the Gospel is because it was a Divine call. Paul said in the Bible, "I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision." Therefore, every minister, whether he's Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, whatever he might be, he has a Divine call, and he has to be obedient to that call, even if it's contrary to what some would believe. You must be obedient anyhow, because it's a Divine calling, an inspiration from God. And I have honor for a man, though I might disagree with him Scripturally, but if he will be honorable and reverent to a Divine call, the man should be honored, any man that would stay by his call.

L-7 Now, many times the meetings are referred to, many times just as "healing services." Healing is not the service. Healing is just the--the bait that's used to catch the sinner. It's just like going fishing. You live here on the river. You never show the fish the hook; you show him the bait. See? He grabs the bait and gets the hook. That right, brother? Uh, huh. So that's what we try to do. Divine healing is merely... It's in the atonement; it's God's Word. And we believe that, teach that, and know that it's so. And we have seen the Lord, around the world now... Since I've been here, the Lord has taken me around the world, and I've seen some of the greatest meetings that I have ever seen of, or read of our Lord do.

L-8 In Durbin, South Africa, recently, I had a meeting there, and after the Lord had did a miracle at the platform, a miracle of discernment, there was thirty-thousand raw heathens come to the Lord Jesus Christ in one altar call: thirty-thousand.  It's pretty near half the population of this city. And those were... That was not somebody, just backsliders that come back. That was blanket natives who didn't know right from left hand. They broke their idols on the ground, and they tagged thirty-thousand of them at one altar call.

L-9 Bombay, India, recently there was no way of seeing. We couldn't get the churches to cooperate, because of the cooperation we went under (another church) and the... Some of the churches were down on them, and that started the rest of them down on this group. But the people come anyhow.
It's such a sad thing. If we can get the ministers to cooperate, so that the--the man when he's converted, he can have a church home to go to... If you turn him back out in the--the devil's pig pen, then he'll become back again just like he was. But if you got a place that you can direct him to, some good... Like Jesus with the Samaritan, he taken him to the inn. He said the Good Samaritan taking the m--the falling man to the inn. That's... We got to have a place like that.
And so the little church that was sponsoring us was insufficient to take care of a place where it was estimated that, in the time we were there (three days), that around five hundred thousand was present. And, oh, I just wouldn't know how many tens of thousands of Mohammedans and everything came to Christ, with no way at all to take care of it. So you can imagine what a situation arose from that.

L-10 I'm so glad to see this fine group of ministers on the platform here tonight, that if souls get saved, you know where to, what they can do. They can take you, and bring you to their church, and teach you the way of the Lord more plainer. And I am happy to be here with this fine bunch of men and women that's behind me here to pray for me while I'm ministering.
