<TITLE>10. Par 35-38</TITLE>L-35 And the next night, he was setting up in the second balcony. And every once in a while, he'd say, "Everybody keep still." He'd raise up and say, "Praise the Lord, for healing me." Set back down. I was preaching, he just stop me. And every... He'd get out on the corner selling his papers, holler, "Extree: Praise the Lord, for healing me. Extree. Praise the Lord, for healing me." And selling his papers...
About two or three weeks after I left, a little boy led him across to the barber shop. Now, he's preaching Divine healing on the land--on the field today. And so, led him across to the barber shop to get a shave.
Well, a little smart aleck barber, you know, had more intelligence than he had gumption to know how to control. So he set him back in the barber chair, and lathered up his jaws, and shaved about one side down. He said, "Say, dad, I heard you was up to see the Divine healer when he come up."
Said, "Yeah, I was up."
He said, "I heard you got healed."
He said, "Yes, praise the Lord for healing me." And his eyes come open. And he jumped up out of the barber chair with the towel on his neck and the barber chasing him with a razor in his hand. Down the street they went. "Praise the Lord, for healing me." See, he stayed with it. Stay with it. Hold on. God said so. That settles it. Stay right there. Oh, it'll take place if you can believe it. Hold on; that's what Abraham...

L-36 Why, the doctor said, "Old fellow, you'd better go back home 'cause you're getting a little bit off your mind."
He, "Glory to God, we'll have it anyhow."
Maybe the doctor send a runner out and said, "Hey, what about that baby case?"
"Going to have it anyhow. Praise the Lord. Going to have it anyhow. It's all finished. God said so. We got the boots; we got the pins; we got the birdeye. We got everything ready; it's coming."
"When's it going to be here?"
"I don't know. But God said it anyhow; we're going to have it. Amen. That settles it. I don't know when it's going to be; that's up to His wisdom. But we're going to have it."
When a man takes God at His Word, you're going to get it. I don't care what takes place; God said so. That settles it forever. That's all of it.

L-37 Then, we see... The first thing you know, Abraham hadn't got to the place yet. He took... Instead of going by himself, like God told him to do, separating himself, he took the old man along, his dad. And then, that was trouble till he was gone. Then here come Lot along, his nephew. There started arguments.
You see, God wants you to do what He says do. Don't hang on, say, "Now, I would go down to that meeting. I'd bring Suzie down, but her mother doesn't bel..." That doesn't have anything to do with it. See? Separate yourself from every unbelief. Then God will act in your stead. He will act for you.

L-38 Now, we can see them going down. And first thing, some arguments come. And now, Abraham, acting as a Christian would do, showed that God's faith, the Spirit was in him, he gave Lot his own choice. That's the way a Christian's spirit does. It always goes the extra mile, or gives the coat. "Now, you look up. Here's the land. We'll not argue; we're brothers. If you just... If you go east, I will go west. If you go south, I will go north. But we won't argue; let's be brothers, for we are kindred."
I was talking to a young man awhile ago. We was talking about God. And I said, "You see the Spirit of God in a man. He meets someone, it's like through a shady glass. But he knows that something in there is his brother." What a love. Someday when that veil's taken away, then we will know as we're known.
