<TITLE>16. Par 64-66</TITLE>L-64 I seen they made a beautiful soft light. Any woman would appreciate it in her room. You know what I done? I just loaded me up about two hundred of them. And I started around to everybody I knowed. Said, "What do you want, this morning, Billy? Didn't I pay my bill?" I had to collect bills.
I said, "No, you paid your bill. I want to make you another one." I'd say, "I got a lamp here."
"Oh, no. I can't afford it."
"Now, wait a minute. Just never asked you to buy it. I just got such a load of them, I--I want to unload one in your house. You just keep it a couple of weeks, and enjoy it, and I'll come back by and pick it up. We're supposed to advertise these things, and just take them out. So I'll just set it up in your house..."
"Well, now, Billy, I--I just couldn't buy it. I ain't got the money to buy it."
"Oh, oh, didn't even ask you to buy it, did I?" I just say, "I just want to set it in your house, let you enjoy it."
"There's no kidding?"
"Now I...?... You know me. I'll come back by and pick it up. I'll pick it up again in two weeks. All right, I'll be right by and pick it up. Only thing I want you to do, is just, I want to load it off my truck, get a place to set it. I've got to unload so many of them here, I--I want to get it off my truck. I--I didn't want you to buy it. I didn't ask you to buy it. I just asked that you set here."
"Well, what if it breaks?"
"That's my responsibility. I'm the one stands behind it." I knowed the lamp would sell itself. I knowed it was a real product. I set the lamp in the house. I didn't pick up ten out of two hundred. I won the contest. Because why? Why? The lamp sold itself. You once see it, and see what it is, then you want it. It'll sell itself.

L-65 That's the same thing. We don't have to have big organizations to sell Christ. We don't have to have highly educated preachers and high polished people, that's mayors, and--and the different things of the city. What we have to have is Christ. And Christ sells Hisself. You put Christ into a man's heart; you don't have to tell him, "You have to join this organization or that one." He's already sold on the product.
Are you hungry? Blessed are they that hunger and thirst. We're fixing to come to the communion table now. For those who has never yet--maybe has never taken Christ in your life... If you are a Christian, then you're hungering... I've been a Christian thirty-one years now. And each day, I hunger more for Christ than I did when I started. He gets sweeter as the days go by.
And I watch these little billboards, as I see them go down the street, watch them out here in the hospital, watch them in the hour of their death, watch them out here when they're at a showdown, watch that little lady, how she holds herself there as a real genuine saint.

L-66 I stood at a counter, here not long ago, watched a little lady. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... started to turn around and said, "Do you know Jesus as your Saviour?" And the boy ducked his head down and run out the door. See?...?... There you are. Oh, she didn't know me, but I knowed her. I knowed her. I watched her. She's married now. She married a preacher. And they're just doing fine.
So that's it. You see, I just want to watch that billboard. I like to watch it. It's--it--it--it makes me hungry to get to the place to where they're--when you can even eat spiritual food. Because I knowed that girl just didn't belong to church. She was a Christian. That's right. Yeah, you can tell.
The Bible said... Although Peter and John, after they healed that man at the gate called Beautiful... He was lame from his mother's womb. And he didn't have much strength. He couldn't stand up very long. Peter had to hold him up to get him to walking...?... from his mother's womb.
