<TITLE>02. Par 9-20</TITLE>L-9 Now, someone's been calling and asking, people calling today and asking when the healing services will be. Now, as soon as this services are over, next Sunday evening, I'm going away for a few days to kinda rest up my throat a little bit, and the following Sunday, the Lord willing, we'll have a healing service, the following Sunday morning. That'll be... Don't know just what day that'll be, but it'll be a week from--the 18th, Sunday morning. Is that all right, Brother Neville? [Brother Neville answers, "Yes, sir."--Ed.] Sunday morning the 18th, praying for the sick...
And in this, our pastor here, I haven't got a chance to say very much about him, but I want you all to try to meet our pastor. He's certainly a--a real brother in Christ. We're happy to have a brother that brought up in a Methodist background with holiness. And we all know Orman Neville everybody around here does. There's nobody puts a finger on his life. I'd... He don't like for me to say that, but yet I'd rather give him a little bitty rosebud now, than a whole wreath after he's gone See? And now is the time.

L-11 One night I was going out of the church and someone said, "O Brother Branham, I sure appreciated that sermon."
And I said, "Thank you."
And so somebody standing at the door (It's been many years ago, here at the Tabernacle.), a minister, said, "Well, bless God, I don't want nobody telling me that." He said, "I want all the glory to go to God."
I said, "Well, it does." See? And I said, "Well, I like it myself." I said, "I really like it." And I said, "I have to be truthful."
And he said--he said, "Well, I don't like for people to say that about me, bless God."
I said, "There's just one difference between me and you: I'm honest about it and you're not."
Anybody likes... If you take a little child, brag on him a little, he'll do a better job (See?)...?... See? And God, always, He likes to tell His children when he does right. And He likes to tell them when they're doing wrong, so why not tell them when they're doing right? See?

L-18 So I certainly thank God for Brother Neville being the pastor of this flock here at the Tabernacle. And seeing that man, Methodist, his background, slow to... Why, just like want to eat in the wrong stall. So... But finding out through the--the great Holy Spirit, and now coming into those gifts; and how fluently the Holy Spirit using him when he don't use his own mind. Watch the interpretation with the same rhythm, and the same ups and down, like nouns and pronouns, and so forth, and answering it right back again.
And this little brother, I don't think he's... Junior Jackson Well, I'll keep still, Junie. I thank God for Junie Jackson. The brother certainly has a great gift from the Lord.

L-20 And just always keep humble. Now, everyone in the church has something to do; but don't never pull it aside for something else. Let it blend in with the rest of the church; It's for God, all things. See, see? Don't everybody want to speak with tongues, everybody interpret.
Try to do something good and just keep being good; hold no malice, no grudges; don't let any bitterness. No matter how bad the person is and how bad they talk about you, don't you never think evil in your heart against them; 'cause right there the devil will set right in, work up something right there. Just keep it all covered up with godly love, confession, and making right, and do good to those who do evil to you. "If you only do good to those who do good to you, why," Jesus said, "don't the Publicans the same?" See, the sinners, anybody can be good to those that's good to them. But be good to those who are not good to you; do something for those that would not do nothing for you. Speak a good word for the man that would speak evil against you, and that way you keep all the bitterness out of your heart; and you're always in love with everybody then. As long as you stay in love...
