<TITLE>04. Par 15-20</TITLE>L-15 Now, I'm a little hoarse. Brother Williams has just given me a combing over. I told him I had it--was going to Ajo and a few cities tomorrow. I'm trying to find a place to move to out here in Arizona, to live out here. And then in coming to Arizona, I wouldn't come... And a precious brother the other morning after I preached on "The Royal Seed"... Now, I'm not a tape seller, you all know that. But the boy over here has got the tapes. Anybody that's got a tape recorder, I wish you, if you can, get that tape on "The Royal Seed" for last Sunday morning.

L-16 And Brother Fuller... he got out the--got out in the pulpit after I left and told the people to tell me I could come take over his church. He and his wife would be janitor. Well, that was very sweet. Brother--Brother John Sharritt with his church, and then... but I don't... I... If I'd come to Phoenix, no, sir, I wouldn't start no church. No, siree. That's not in me (See?), 'cause if you start a church, you're...
See, it's not my idea to start a church. It's to help what's already started. You see? If I come to Phoenix... I'm a missionary. I'm in and out around the world, all the time. If the pastor would invite me, I'd be here on one Sunday to help him, and the next Sunday over to help the next guy, the next Sunday over to help the next guy, just everywhere I could to--to put in, and make it good for everybody (See?) all the denominations and everything to fellowship.

L-17 And I may--always wanted to come west. And I... Maybe the last tie that's bound me to the east was my mother that just went home to be with Jesus a few weeks ago; and my wife's mother about a year ago. So now we're both orphans without father or mother in this earth. They're gone on to be with our Lord. And we are planning on maybe, the Lord willing, coming westward to live. Pray for us.

L-18 Now, now, in the... Before we approach the Word... I want to read some of the Word tonight and just speak for a little while. And by the way, I forgot... Did Billy give out any prayer cards? All right, sir. That's--that's good. Then we'll... It's going to be a small place for a prayer meeting, but I've had it where... Someone said, some... Like the pastor one time sometime would have a small church, maybe it seat a hundred or two, they say, "Oh, Brother Branham, if my church was just big enough..." It's plenty big. The only thing you have to have is just the Word from God, (See? That's all.), no matter where it's at.

L-19 I never let my meetings get big, 'cause when you do (or some obligation of radio, television, or something, or some books, or press, or something)... When you do, right then you're tying yourself down. I want to be where I don't have to have any money; I never took a offering in my life. And I--I don't have to have money, and the place can't get too little. If it's in a cottage prayer meeting, that's fine.
I held a revival just recently where the church completely packed out, seated twenty people (That's right.), twenty people. Now, if I'd had a great big--a great big something, maybe have to have several thousand dollars a day, I couldn't go to a place like that and do that. See? But I believe in being led by the Holy Spirit, wherever He leads you, no matter.

L-20 And I've went overseas. In Bombay, India, I preached to five hundred thousand at one time; south Africa, two or three hundred thousand; way out... Don't... say, "How do you get the money to do that?" Well, if God sends me, He always sends somebody with the money with it. You see? So He just... We must live by faith, you know. So it's a great life, a faith life, isn't it? Just believe Him.
And--and I'd say some of the best meetings I've ever had has been churches way smaller than this one (And that's right.), where we just get together and have fellowship, and the Holy Spirit comes down. And there's where life is born. Uh-huh. That's right. That's right. Certainly is.
