<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And my Christian friends, we never know what time is our last meeting. If we meet here next year (I hope we do), but there's no doubt some of us won't be here; we'll have to go on before next year. In a group of this many people, where there's sickness, and elderly people, and so forth... And we've all got to meet our testimony again there. So we must be sincere.
I appreciated what Brother Ford said a few moments ago. There's only one thing that's right, and that's God's Word. That's exactly right. Stay right with That. Then, "If ye abide in Me, My words in you, then ask what you will."

L-6 Now, here's the way it's always seemed to me, friends: that if God ever was God, He's still God. And if He doesn't keep His Word, then there's nothing to It.
Like a young fellow one time went away to a college to learn to be a minister. And while he was gone, the mother fell violently sick. And she sent to the college to have the boy to return back home, because they thought the mother was going to die. And then the next morning, another telegram comes, said, "She's all right."
About a year later, the boy visited home. He said, "Mother, I would like to know what the doctor did for you, and who the doctor was. That was the quickest case of pneumonia I ever knowed of being made well."
And she said, "Oh, son," said, "It--it wasn't a doctor." And said, "Again, it was a doctor."
Said, "What was his name?"
Said, "Dr. Jesus."
He said, "Why, you mean Jesus, the Christ?"

L-7 Said, "Yes." Said, "You know where that little bunch of people down there on the side of the street, that's got that little mission?"
"Yes."
Said, "They were holding a meeting there one night. And they had a prayer meeting. And the doctor told me that I could not get well. I was done too far gone." And said, "They said they felt led to come up there and pray for me." And she said, "You know what, son?" Said, "Glory to God, Jesus healed me."
And so the boy said, "Mother, Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, ridiculous. Why, you even act like them. You shouldn't do that."
"Oh," she said, "but, son, it's right in the Bible." Said, "They read it to me right out of the Bible. Why, I said..."
"Mother," said, "you... that--that's not right. Those people are illiterate. They--they don't understand the Bible." Said, "We learned those things in the college." Said, "They don't underst..."
Said, "Son, wait just a minute. I marked it down." She went over and read Mark 16. "Lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."
"Oh," he said, "Mother, you understand that we learned in the college; Mark 16 from the 9th verse on is not even inspired."
She said, "Hallelujah. Hallelujah."
He said, "Mother, what's the matter with you?"
Said, "I was just thinking. If God could heal me with uninspired Word, what could He do with that's really inspired."

L-8 So Brother Ford, I believe It's all inspired. And that's what It's for.
I've almost left the field from service, because it's so tremendous around home. People come from everywhere. And there's nothing... I cannot manufacture a vision. It takes God to do that.
But let's... How many of you people ever seen that picture? They've taken it now many times. I guess there's hundreds in here that has it. That's come through Washington, DC, through the--the J. Edgar Hoover outfit, George J. Lacy of the FBI fingerprint and documents. It's been taken many times. It's a little Light, about so big around, amber light burning. And that's the One that always talked to me.
