<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 They say that there hasn't been any of the brethren, I don't think, here, of the big evangelists, like Brother Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, and those great evangelists. And I wish... Probably some of you have heard them. And I--I suppose, being a small city, and there has to be quite a bit of finance connected with a big meeting like that. And I guess Brother Roberts' finances each day runs better than ten, twelve thousand dollars a day for his television, radio, and so forth. And I guess Billy Graham's runs that or maybe more. Now, how could those men come to a little small place like this? They--they couldn't do it. See?
But when the Lord called me, He... You know, I--I never did start in any radio, or--or television, or anything so I'd be, you know, bound down, so that I could go anywhere the Lord called me, 'cause I don't need no money. So I just--I just don't have no programs to sponsor or nothing at all, and just to go and fellowship with the people, and wherever the Lord would call me to go. And I've...?... had grand privileges.

L-11 I preached just recently a two-night's revival in a church that held twenty. And I was in Bombay, India, where we had five hundred thousand at one meeting; and Durban, South Africa, about two-hundred and twenty-five thousand, where I seen thirty thousand raw heathens accept Christ as Saviour in one altar call.
And I seen them taking about seven big van loads (and them vans, my, that would be a Jeep up beside of them big African vans there) of just wheelchairs, crutches, and things the natives had packed, each other, down out of the--the jungles.

L-12 And the next morning when Sidney Smith, the mayor of Durban, South Africa, called me and said, "Go to the window and watch, out towards the seashore." And here come a string of people with--where twenty-five thousand miracles had been performed at one prayer. And there they was with their crutches and wheelchairs. And the natives which was at war at one another a week beforehand was walking down--had been laying on those crutches, and braces, and so forth, the next day walking down with peace, arms around one another, singing "All things are possible, only believe," in the native tongue.
That's what the whole world ought to be doing tonight...?... all of us with one heart and one accord, just singing the glorious Gospel of the Lord Jesus.

L-13 And now, in the Message that I have, I will try to make it just as simple as possible, because being the first time that you... Maybe people has been in the meetings. And it may seem a little strange to you at first. And if it does, I just ask you if you'll bear with me a little (See?), and always search out what I say. If it isn't exactly with the Scripture, don't believe it (See?), 'cause...
Now, God can do things that's not written in the Bible. He's God. He can do anything He wants to. See? But as long as I see Him doing just what He's promised to do, that'll be fair enough for me. That's all right. Then I know I'm on the right path, then, as long as it's in the Scripture, God promised to do it. And the way He did it, and the way He does it, and I believe... Here's what I believe: that if He ever was God, He's still God. See? And if He isn't the same God that He was, then He wasn't God. See? Because He's--if He's God, He's got to be infinite, infinite. And then, if He's infinite, He's perfect.
