<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>60-1127M, It Wasn't So From The Beginning, Life Tabernacle, Shreveport, LA, 48 min
L-1 ...?... Thank you, Brother Moore. Good morning, people. I was certainly happy to be here this morning again, and I wouldn't have missed this for anything, hearing the prophecy of our sister, having the privilege of meeting Brother Kidson last night again, an old associate, one of my first associates in the Pentecostal realms. He was the one who brought me here to Shreveport the first time, I believe it was, Brother Kidson, years ago when I had the services at the--the old tabernacle. I believe that's when Brother Moore's mother was healed during that time, and of stomach trouble and many things the Lord did.

L-2 You see, the same message is still going on. We don't bother that prescription. We just leave it just the way it is and take it the way it's dosed out to us.
I appreciate this Irish brother. Certainly we got good Irishman. That the... Sing the "There Is A Balm In Gilead," just perfectly blending in with last night. This fine little choir, David, and Brother and Sister Moore, Anna Jean, and all of them, oh, my, it's such a wonderful thing to be here in fellowship with you people again.
Standing in the room a few moments ago, a long distance came in from a man that was a minister somewhere, that doctors had give him up and didn't know what was the matter with him. He got to the phone, and he called, and somehow or other through the office at home they got him... Knowed we'd be at the tabernacle at this time, and right while we were in there, Brother Kidson, and I, and Brother Moore, and some other brethren. I didn't know who is was standing there...

L-3 But he wanted to know what was his outcome before the Lord, was he going to die? And the Holy Spirit in the building there, just in the office a few moments ago revealed back to the man about him and all about him, and what he was, how he was dressed standing there, and what was the matter with him, and pronounced him healed. He liked to tore the phone off the hook how the Lord healed him.
Oh, aren't we happy that we still have the Lord God Who still knows the end from the beginning. And it's good that there is a Balm in Gilead, and there's plenty of it. There's doctors there and what more the Lord has provided for us. So why should we go to anything else, when God has so richly provided every joy that we have need of, and every blessing that we need is in the household of faith with the children of God.

L-4 Why should we refer, or refrain from this, and go to smoking for joy, drinking for joy. Those things only bring death. That... Our joy is the Lord. So I'm so happy to be enjoying that.
Now, what time do you dismiss your services? Eleven-thirty? [Brother Moore replies, "One-thirty."--Ed.] Oh, that--that... I... You couldn't put up with me that long. So happy to see this group out here. And I won't be long.
Now, tonight at six o'clock the boys will be giving prayer cards, and we're going to have the regular prayer line. I'll be speaking tonight, the Lord willing, on something on along Divine healing, or something like that, because we're going to dedicate this service tonight for Divine healing.

L-5 Billy and I were sitting in the restaurant this morning eating and we were noticing and he said, "Daddy, can you tell Christians when you just meet them anywhere?"
I said, "Sure."
He said, "You see that man and his wife coming in there." Said, "They're Christians."
I said, "Yeah."
And just in a few minutes someone else had come in. He said, "Huh-uh."
I said, "That's right." So in a few minutes someone else come in, I said, "How about that?"
