<TITLE>24. Par 64-65</TITLE>L-64 Now, we've poured out the medicine this week as hard as I knowed how to pour it out, and as straight as I knowed how to bring it. Now, if you don't receive it, then God's going to say, "Why?" Someday the Bible's going to lay closed on the pulpit. The preacher's going to play--pray his last prayer. The taps will die out from the bugle, and the sun will set its last time over the hill. Then God's going to ask you to give a reason. When the ones that rejects the message, is going to be asked to give a reason, what then? "What then? What then? When that great book is opened, what then? When the one's that reject this message tonight, is going to be asked to give a reason, what then?
You've attended this revival. God has done everything that's in the Book for you, proven it. As long as you live... People's received the Holy Ghost; they've been filled with God's Spirit, young and old. They--they have repented of their sins; they got joy in their heart. We've seen Divine healing take place: people with heart trouble and different diseases healed. We seen the Angel of God come down, go through the building just like He said just before the coming of the Lord would be, discerning the spirits and things like that. Prophetic utterances went forth, people spoke in tongues, and prophesied, and vindicated the Word back and forth; you've seen it and set. Which you choose tonight? Hollywood or holy heaven? You're going to be asked to give a reason someday. What then?

L-65 One time there was an old woman here in the country; she was dying; she was starving to death, poverty stricken. So someone turned her in to the authorities, the charity. And they went to this woman, and they said to her, "We come to investigate your case, and we want to know what's--what's wrong." Said, "Haven't you no relation?"
She said, "I have a lovely son."
Said, "Where..."
Said, "He's a businessman."
"Where is he?"
"He's in India."
"Why," she said "Is he a businessman?"
Said, "Yes."
So said, "Why don't he send you something?" Said, "How long has he been over there?"
Said, "About ten years." Said, "Oh, he's a very prosperous businessman."
Said, "Well, why don't he help you?"
Said, "I just can't ask him. I just can't do it." Said, "He's such a sweet boy." Said, "I just can't ask him for it." And said, "I write him letters, and he writes me the sweetest letters that any boy could write his mother and tells me how much he loves me." But said, "But I just couldn't ask him for it."
And said, "Well, you ought to tell him."
Said, "I just can't do it. Tell my own son that I'm poverty stricken and things," said, "I just couldn't do it." But said, "He sends me the prettiest pictures I ever seen in my life."
And said, "Well, what kind of pictures?"
Said, "Oh, pretty little pictures about that big square."
Said, "May I see one?" Said, "Where you got them at?"
She said, "I keep them in my Bible." So across the floor went the old mother, and she picked up her Bible, and begin to lay them out, lay them out. The investigator looked at them... She was a rich woman. What were they? They were bank drafts from India. They had pretty pictures on them. Where did she find them? In her Bible. She was rich and didn't know it. Where did she find it at? In her Bible.
You don't have to act like the world. You don't have to go all bound down. You're rich. Where do you find it at? In the Bible. You just looked it over, and thought it was just a picture book or some other "True Story." But it isn't; it's God's Word. You are rich.
I'm the child of a King!
I'm the child of the King!
With Jesus my Saviour,
I'm a child of the King!
My Father is rich with houses and lands,
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,
His coffers are full, He has riches untold. (Sing it.)
I'm a child of the King!
A child of the King!
With Jesus my Saviour,
I'm a child of the King!
