<TITLE>06. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 See the... Now, God can do things, and we've had all kinds of things going on, and, no doubt, godly men, good men... But we like different things, of sensations, and blood, and oil, and everything. Them might be all right. See, God can do that. I don't say He can't do it. He can do what He wants to. He's God. And I ain't got no business telling Him what to do. He does what He wants to. But to me, let it be Scriptural. Then I know it's right. See? Let it flash on the Scripture there. Then that--that's all right, because I know He will stand behind this; I don't know about the other. But trying to keep it that way the best that I can...

L-23 And I never let my meetings get big, where it could be that I'd have to allot a... Like some of our precious brethren, fine men, like Brother Oral Roberts... When Oral and I first met, he had a little ragged tent, and I was over on one side of Kansas City, Kansas, and he was in Kansas City, Missouri. I got our pictures standing there together. He said, "You think God would answer me for..."
Well, there was a man; smart, intelligent, great man of God, good faith. I said, "Brother Roberts (just a young minister)," I said, "God will answer anybody's prayer that'll be sincere." Here he goes.
The other day... Such a precious brother. I had a meeting, Business Men, Tulsa. Then I had a meeting down at the auditorium, and Oral came in. He'd hurt his leg, and he called me out of the platform. I went and prayed for him. Said, "You seen my building yet?"
I said, "No, Brother Roberts, I haven't."
He said, "Well, want you go over and look at it?"

L-24 So the next day slip in around so he wouldn't be there. You know, I don't want to--a big man--a man like that, I know his time's precious. So I went, set down in his home. I couldn't have been treated any nicer if I'd been in my own home. Oral Roberts, such a swell fellow...
Tommy Osborn, oh, my, they just don't wear shoe leather any better. That's all. He's just a--he's a precious boy. I was over at his place. And oh, such nice men. And as they all claim, that I got started on the field first, and they seen it, and that's what made them go.
I went over then, Brother Fisher, I was with his group in South Africa. He showed me around through Oral's building. I looked: such a mammoth place, beautiful. If you never seen it, be sure to see it. Oh, you've never seen anything like it anywhere in the world.
I'd just been to Brother Tommy Osborn's and seen his great place. Hundreds of IBM machines setting, running that--human hands never touch the letters at all. Just run through just like that. My. Money coming by the loads, and dumping into a conveyer, and going down. I thought, "Oh, my." See, he has to have it, he... Listen, that's a great work.

L-25 And I stood out there on the outside. I thought, "God, how grateful I am. Looky here at this building here about two and a half million dollars, I guess, the achievement of one little Pentecostal boy." What God can do... See? One little Oakie out of a dugout down there, what God can do. Just goes to show... And I seen Tommy, Tommy Osborn.
Standing there in Oral's yard, I--there was a bunch of people, you know how they do you, waiting on the outside. And a policeman taking me through, and showed me out the back, how to get around where I could get in the car. And Brother Fisher was going to go around, pick up, and come get me around the back. And I was standing back there looking, my hands behind me, looking at that big building, how beautiful, and--and looking at the mirror in there, you know, the reaching of them hands. And I said, "Well, I got..." Something just said to me, "Well, what about you?" I thought... And then the brothers said that my little ministry helped put them on the field. See, each one of them set and tell me that...
