<TITLE>11. Par 71-78</TITLE>L-71 So he went to the mission board of his church, and he said, "God has called me to mission fields way back in the jungles of--of Rhodesia." And in this jungle it's infested with malaria, with fever and with that hot sun, pellagra and leprosy, and all kinds of diseases back in this jungle, be where he was going to make, take the rest of his life. Sold his home and all he had. So the mission board wanted to test him, and they said, "Are you sure now?"
He said, "I am positive."
They said to him, "Sir, have you thought it on this manner, that you've got two pretty little girls, and you got a--a lovely young wife, and if you're just... Why don't you just go over and see how it is and then come back?"
He said, "No, the Lord told me. Oh, it's so real." He said, "The Lord called me. And I--I don't want to leave my home. I don't want to leave my church and my people, but the Lord called me back there in that jungle."

L-74 And he said, "Sir, did you know your little girls could take yellow fever or blackwater fever, and die overnight?" And he referred to different people that had lost their children, the little fellows, to take them back in there, on diseases that they had no inoculation for. And said, "Think of leprosy, of your pretty wife and your two little girls with leprosy, and that hot sun and things you got to put up with." Said, "Aren't you afraid in the danger of taking your children and wife in such a place?"
And the missionary stood there, the young fellow, and the tears begin to run down his cheeks, he turned around, he said, "My brethren. My vision of God's call," he said, "if God has called me to Africa, my children and family is more safer in Africa than any place in the world." Amen.
What was it? He had the key to his call; he had faith in what he was talking about. Oh, I thought, what a gallant remark. When I first heard that, my heart bounced. See, "If God has called me to Africa, my children in the leprosy and pellagra and everything else, they're safer there than any other place on the face of the earth." He had the key. That's what it takes.

L-76 When you got the key, there's no fear, there's no doubt, there's no question. You don't have to ask anybody else about it; you know exactly. You've got it in your hands; you know what to do. Amen. You know what the score is; you know the door's going to unlock. You've checked the levers and you know it's strictly the right thing; the door's going to fly open when you throw the key in it.
Oh, if the church only possessed the keys. If the church only possessed that key of faith, we could unlock any door, any sickness, any plague, any case that there is. It could be unlocked to us if we could only possess this key. This man had the key to his calling.

L-78 If you'll pardon a personally--a testimony. I remember about fifteen, seventeen years ago now about, when the Lord said to me down there on the river, when He came down in that Pillar of Fire Whose picture you see, and He spoke to me and He said, "You're to take this Message around the world."
And I remember at Green's Mill when He spoke to me. And I went and told the pastor, and he told me, said, "Billy, what did you eat that night? You had a nightmare." He said, "Go on back to your job. You're working at the Public Service Company, got a good job, go on back and take care of your--your business, son." Said, "You had a nightmare. You eat something." That didn't faze me one bit.
When I started out for the healing services, many of you here remember my message that morning, "As David Went To Meet Goliath," I preached on.
