<TITLE>14. Par -</TITLE>L-20-5 That's the reason I believe the Word. See? I can't put my faith on nothing else. If I was going to put it on the church, which church would I put it on, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostals? What would I put it on? I don't know. They're all scruple up and everything else, twist lines and everything else. But when I put my faith in His Word, it's anchored. Nobody interpret it; here it is: THUS SAITH THE LORD. Then I believe that. There's a basis.

L-20-6 Fine little doctor down here in the city, a buddy of mine, Doctor Sam Adair. We've been boys together. You all know Sam. And he said to me; he said, "Bill..." After that vision come, told him where he'd build his place, how it would look. Now, go in and ask him sometime if that isn't true: two or three years before it happened, told him where it'd be. I said, "You'll almost take that city block." And there ain't but one thing between him and that, and that's that rehabilitation place. Doctor Adair's got the rest of it, and the apothecary. That's all.
Doctor Adair filled that just exactly--that vision--where a place that he said, "It can't even be touched for twenty-five years; it's the court."
I said, "Doctor, the Lord gives it to you, because of your humility."
He said, "I'm no good."
I said, "You're a turtle. You got a shell on the outside, a crust that you look at your friends out here. But inside you're a real guy. Come out of that shell." I said, "God give it to you."
He said, "I've never doubted you, Billy, but I'll have to doubt that."
I said, "Go on to your office." So he went on out.
The next morning he called me up and said, "I'm freezing to death."
I said, "What's the matter." It was around July. I said, "What's the matter Doc?"
He said, "I've already bought the place, Billy. They had a meeting last night in Boston, and I've already bought the place this morning."
Said, "I told you."
I was down there the other day talking to him when the gun exploded in my face. He said, "I imagine I've told that to a thousand people that come in here," like that. What is it? Now, when God speaks anything, it's got to happen.

L-21-3 Last evening some friends come in. They'd heard that vision told about that caribou that had forty-two inch horns and the silver tip grizzly bear. I don't know how many people's that's come at the house wants to see that. I said, "Here's the tape measure; get on the horns." You heard it told before it happened. See? Why? When God says anything, it's got to happen. That's the reason; it's based.
Now, here's the plan of salvation. And then if His vision happens perfectly exactly the way they say they do, and this church here know that's right, then what about His Word? See, that's more sure than the vision. If the vision didn't speak with the Word, then the vision's wrong. But it's the Word first, because the Word is God. See? So He's omnipresent. He spoke that here and made it come to pass in Canada. Amen. See, He's omnipresent.

L-22-1 All right. First you must be borned again. And then when you're borned again, you have faith; you believe the Word. Until you're borned again you'll argue against it. If you're just religiously inclined, and--and you've got a--a little human knowledge that you should do right, you'll never be able to agree upon the Word of God. You'll never do it. You've got to be borned again; and borned again, it produces faith.
All right. Then after you get faith, this right here: f-a-i-t-h faith, then you're just in position of growing.
