<TITLE>06. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 And I--I listened to Him. And He said, "This was all to indicate that you were born to pray for sick people." Well, what did I know about praying for sick people? I was just a local Baptist pastor. And I looked at Him again; He was very kind. Seemed like the fear begin to leave, and I said, "Sir, I am uneducated, and I could not do such things as You have ask--or You have told me to do."
Because He had just said, "That you'll go to all the world, and you'll be praying for kings, potentates, monarchs." And how could I do that, when I was just a grammar school education. See? I had never received the Holy Ghost as yet. I was a local Baptist pastor. These things are strange to me. And I knowed nothing about them.
Then I looked--I looked up again to speak to Him, and I said, "Sir, I--I could not do that."
And He said, "As Moses was sent with two gifts to prove to the people to a vindicate that he had been sent of God, you are given two gifts."
And I--I said, "Sir, I--I could not go. Moses had one sign with his hand." Yeah.
He said, "Now, you'll do the--you take your hand and lay it onto the people. Don't think of what you're going to say, and It'll call what they have. Then if you--if you'll be real reverent, humble, (That's the reason I don't take money, or get anything big.)" He said, "it'll come to pass that you'll know the very secret of the people's heart." And said then, "If they won't believe the first sign, they will believe the second. And it'll come to pass, if you'll be sincere, it'll keep growing greater and greater."

L-16 So it was strange to me, and I said, "Sir, I am here because that when I go among my brethren, I see those visions. And my ministerial brethren tells me that that's of the devil, and I'm here that God will never let it happen to me again."
Quickly, He walked in front of me, asked me to stand up. And I stood up, and He said to me, "Knowest thou not the Scriptures?"
And I said, "Well, the ministers doesn't know--doesn't--doesn't agree with this. If this is--would be of God, why wouldn't they have it?"
He said, "It is the day now for this, this is the hour."
I said, "Why was it that the--the--the--the demon powers of spiritualism knowed it."
Then He said, "In the days of our Lord..." That's the reason I knew that that wasn't the Lord because He said, "Our Lord." (Our Lord.) He regarded our Lord as His Lord. He was an Angel, a Man, a Messenger. And He said, "When in the days of our Lord, when the ministers, the priest were in the temple, arguing what kind of clothes they should wear, at the same time, this--the Magis, astronomers, was on their way worshipping the Lord Jesus. They knew him, and the clergy didn't know Him." He said, "It was the devil (the devil) that said, 'We know You, Who You are, the Holy One of God.' But the priest said, 'He is the devil.' The devil said, 'He's the Son of God.' The ministers said, 'He's the devil.'"

L-17 Then the scare begin to leave me. What doubted Paul, Paul and Silas, when they were at a place preaching, the--the priest said, "These men turn the world upside down, they're no good."
But a little fortune-teller said, "These are men of God, that tell us the way of life." Who was--who was right?
It's a great deal that way today, and that is true. Then the Bible become a new Book. I could--I could see it.
Today, we are so intellectual upon our denominational and so much for our little groups, we pass over a great Spiritual... But a devil possessed person...?..., they are in contact with spirits. Many times they cannot--they can see it before the intellectual can see it, because he turns away all spiritual things. I'm not talking of you ministers. Thank God, that there's some that can believe and see. Blessed are your eyes who can see, and ears that can hear, for God has did this. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me, unless My Father draws him first. My sheep hear My voice; strangers they will not follow."
