<TITLE>21. Par 88-91</TITLE>L-88 So He was going down to Sodom. And what did he do? Then he was concerned about his lost brother down in Sodom. Right quick, when he seen what was going to happen, he said, "If I find fifty men down there that's--that's righteous, will You--will You spare it?" forty, and on down to ten. See, he was concerned about his brother.
That's it, brother. We're concerned about our brother when we're convinced that it's God. And if we Pentecostal people are convinced this is God, then we'll be concerned about our brethren. That's right. And we act like that we're not fully convinced. And sometimes when we pray for the sick, and the sick just keeps on going, say, "Well, I--I don't know. Pray for me again," on back and forth, we act like we're not thoroughly convinced that God keeps His promise.

L-89 God keeps His promise, brother. Certainly He does. If it--if it isn't God... If--if it isn't God's promise, then He don't have to keep it. But if it's His promise, He must keep it in order to be God. Ain't nothing wrong with God; it's with you and I. God promised in the last days that what He would do, how He would manifest Himself in the last days.
Jesus said in St. John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." When Philip come up there and--and before Jesus, and he saw these things take place, he run and got Nathanael. Nathanael come over. And when Nathanael got up in His Presence, he was thoroughly convinced (Yes, sir.), when He said, "I saw you when you was under the fig tree."
He was convinced that that was the Messiah. He said, "You're the Son of God."
I know, the woman at the well, she was thoroughly convinced when He told her she had five husbands at that time. She was convinced. And not only was she convinced, but she was concerned. She run into the city and said, "Come, see a Man that's told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?" See? She was thoroughly convinced, believed, knowed that it was true.

L-90 O God, have mercy on us. We should stay with Him until we're convinced (That's right.), to know whether it's right. Then see His promise made alive among us, we would be concerned. If we would just take God's Book here, and say He promised to do it, and then stay until we are convinced that He is the God of this Word; to see Him manifest Himself in that Word, making that Word alive, that you have received the promise in here, "If ye abide in Me and My words (not just one of them, all of them)--and My words abide in you, then you ask what you will and it'll be done unto you." That's right. See?
It's got... Not just today, tonight, and tomorrow doubt it. If you throw it out tomorrow, and say, "Well, I tell you. I--I don't know whether it's right or not. Might've been for somebody. Don't know about me," then you see, it don't abide. It's gone. See? The birds come by and pick it up, the fowls of the air. But if it falls plumb over a past any reasoning, doubts, or anything else, it'll bring forth a hundredfold. Concerned...

L-91 It reminds me... I'm just got several more Scriptures here I want to refer to, but I'm going to stop in a minute, say this. I seen the other day a little cartoon in the paper. (I want to end up in saying this.) It struck me. And it was a--a cartoon that was very outstanding. There was a little boy. He was well-dressed on a Sunday morning, ready for Sunday school, his little hair combed, his hat in his hand, done washed his face, and had his breakfast and eat something, and brushed his teeth, and got ready to go to Sunday school. And he was standing at the door of the bedroom of his sleeping father and mother, knocking on the door, saying, "Which one of you-all are going to take me to Sunday school?" Concerned... That's it. That's just it, friends, concerned.
