<TITLE>04. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 Now, sometime ago, reading in the Scriptures... People want to say that this part's all right, and that part wasn't inspired, and this is all right, and that was for another day. Where could a man base his faith? It's either every bit the truth, or none of it is the truth. See? And now, you can take me on record as it's on tape: I make this statement tonight (and remember this), that if you will take the right mental attitude towards any Divine promise that God has made, it'll come to pass. If you can take the right mental attitude towards any of God's Divine promises, He will bring it to pass.

L-13 Sometime ago, there was a--a little woman had had a boy, and he'd had a call of God. And she thought, "Well," she wasn't very religious herself, but she was raised in church, so she said, "perhaps, maybe I'll just send this boy away to a seminary, some good noted school, for his education, if he's going to be a minister." So that's a very good thing to do. When you hear me talking about, "God sent us to build--not to build churches, but to preach the Gospel..." Now, I mean when you put all the emphasis on church and on denomination. We have to have those things; you have to have a building to go into, and so forth; whenever you just think that that's all of it. That's wrong. God is what's in the building, what counts, not what the building is. See? It's the builder of the house.

L-14 Now, then this little woman, after she sent her son away, and he got--getting his education, the lady took real sick with the pneumonia at one time. And she sent a telegram to her son to stand by, that she might have to call him home at any time for her passing away. And he was called, and he had his clothes packed.
And a telegram came back the next day that--that his mother was all right. So, when he got home, he said, "Mother, there's just one thing that I want to ask you."
And said, "What is it, son?"
Said, "When you sent me the telegram that you were on the--the very brink of death, and then the next day I get a telegram that--that you were all right. Mother, what did the doctor give you to make you recover so quick?"
"Oh," she said, "Son, he never give me anything."
"Well," said, "how comes you recovered so quick?"
She said, "Son, you know that little mission down around the corner there?"
"Yes."
Said, "There was a--having a prayer meeting down there one night. And them people didn't know me, but they said that they felt led to come up here. And there was two women come and said, "Sister, we hear you're sick."
"Yes."
Said, "We were--felt led of the Lord to come and ask you if you'd have our pastor to come up here and pray for you."
