<TITLE>13. Par -</TITLE>L-21-2 Say, "I'm convinced. No matter what comes before me, He'll match it. No matter what comes before me, I'm convinced He'll take care of me. He said He would do it: 'I'll be with you even in you to the end of the age. Take no thought for tomorrow, it'll take thought for itself.'" That's right. Just think of today.
If God so clothed the fields and the grass of the field which today is and tomorrow isn't, and if He thought enough that He--not even a sparrow could drop in the street without it being known about it; how much more does He know about our needs?
I'm convinced. That's the reason you don't see me begging for offerings and this, or other. I'm convinced. If I stay with this Word, God will stay with me. I'm convinced. Don't have to be given; it'll come some way. I've... I'm just--just convinced. I believe It. I believe every Word He said. I'm convinced at It. I'm convinced He'll meet all the needs that I have need of. I don't have to worry about it.

L-21-5 And here he was also convinced that they didn't need a bunch of psychology and all this other stuff to take. They were convinced that those that when we're preached--they preached to was--all they needed would be what they had.
That's the trouble of today. They're trying to poke other stuff into them, creeds and things like that. You've never been correctly convinced that the Holy Ghost is right. That's all that I have need of, that's all you have need of. That's all anybody else has need of.

L-21-7 Was in Africa not long ago. They was trying to educate those people down there, as the tribes. And when you bring them into the white man, he takes the white man's sin. Got his own sin out there in the tribe, and bring him in, he takes the white man's sin; then he is twofold child more of hell than he was to start with. There's only one thing he needs; he needs Christ. Amen.

L-22-1 Hudson Taylor, one time he... (You've heard of Hudson Taylor, the great missionary to China.) This young Indian boy, he got saved, said he had a call to the ministry, and he come and said to Mr. Taylor, said, "Mr. Taylor, should I take four years of psychology?" (and different things that he should do) "and how long will it take me to get my Bachelor of Arts?"
Mr. Taylor said to him, said, "Son, don't never burn the half--the candle half down before you start out." No. That's what I think too. Don't burn--wait till the candle's half burnt down when some kind of a schooling they knocked into you, some kind of embalming fluid. Don't do that. But I say, as soon as the candle's lit, start. I'm not trying to support ignorance, but here's what I mean. If you don't know nothing else, tell them how the candle got lit. That's all they have to know. Tell them what lit the candle; tell them what's a-burning in there; just tell them how it got lit. Let them get lit; they're going to take care of the rest of it. Certainly.
You don't have to try to go through all kinda great words that you know nothing about to begin with and don't mean nothing after you know them. See? Just tell them, "Glory to God. The Holy Spirit struck me, and I'm a different man." Tell them how the candle got lit. Don't wait till it burns up. Thing's a-smoking that time--too many of them today. Just tell them how it got lit.
