<TITLE>08. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 Now, and up and down the coast, I'm trying to sow every seed that I can, to pull everything that I know how to pull to the Kingdom of God. I thank you all again.
I asked the brethren if they met all the expenses, and they did. And I'm thankful for that. They said they took a love offering. I will put that right in missions overseas. I don't use money myself. I get a little salary from my church: hundred dollars a week. And that's all I--that's what I get. Otherwise, whatever money's taken up goes to foreign missions. And I go over myself and preach to the heathens this same message that you all hear here. And I--I... And I try to do the best, because I know I have got to answer for the money that you give to me.
And for offering for myself, I never took an offering in my life. I've been preaching thirty-one years; I'm fifty-three years old, and never took an offering in my life. And we never come for offerings and things. But I've always said to the brethren, if they don't make the expenses, let me know. The Tabernacle in Jeffersonville will stand for it. See? So we never want... We're not here for popularity. We're not here for nothing but to help you. And we hope that we have been a little help to you. And you certainly have been to us.

L-28 And then this afternoon, I was going to preach on the subject, "When The East And The West Meets." I was going to put it (maybe sometime I'll get it), when backgrounding it, as I always do, till I hit the driving line, where they drove down that golden spike, when the natural, and the east and west met. But now, the spiritual side has met. God's sent down a golden spike too. Maybe, sometime...
But it... I promised to pray for the sick last night. I asked, and there was a great host of people wanted to be prayed for. So let's take the children's... It's the children's bread. And today I want to take a little familiar subject, speak on it for the next twenty minutes, if the Lord willing, twenty-five, thirty at the longest, so I can hurry up, because Billy told me that he come down and give out a great host of prayer cards.
How many here's holding prayer cards to be prayed for? Well, it's just everywhere. See? And it's going to be a great... And how many here that hasn't got prayer cards and still wants to be prayed for? We're going to try to get to you too, so, see that everybody's prayed for. And I'm going to do everything I can.

L-29 And I want to say this. There's been many times that I've watched visions over the people. There's not a thing but what He'd let know. But see, the vision doesn't heal you. You know that. The vision... You say... Well, see...
Now, someone said--wrote me a letter a few years ago, and said God had to raise up Oral Roberts to pray for His sick children. Said, "Oral Roberts will pray for five hundred 'fore you pray for two." Well, maybe that's right. But, you see, God gave Oral Roberts a ministry and he does what God tells him to do. And He gave me one; I do what He tells me to do. Our ministries are different. My ministry... Oral's is that to lay on of hands. Oral has that bulldog faith to raise up there and... But me, I search that person first.
