<TITLE>03. Par 17-29</TITLE>L-17   And this night there, there was, I remember, this man. It said, "You're blind." Said, "You're a beggar, and you worship the sun."

L-18 And they believe, if they look at the sun until they go blind, that they'll go to Heaven; so there's a Heaven for them, and they'll go, by, they worship the creation.

L-19 And, listen, you could feel it coming in, that they, those, especially what they call holy men. Then they grease themselves over with olive oil; it's a sight to see; kill a goat and worship.

L-20 So then, the next, It said, "You are a married man, and you have two children. And they're two boys. And one of them is about six years old, and the other one about nine." And when the interpreter told him that, that was correct. And still they wouldn't listen to it. They thought it was a psychology.

L-21 And I thought, "Lord, if You'll just show me something that they could see done."

L-22 And you have to watch what the Holy Spirit is saying. That's what He's telling you. Stay there long enough till you hear what He says back again. See? Listen to what He tells you. Because, it's not me. I know nothing about it. It's Him. And I don't even know what I'm saying, myself, and don't know it till I hear the tape. And, then, so then it's wonderful to see what He did.

L-23   And then I noticed, and I seen the man, like a vision, standing above, and he could see. He had his sight. I thought, "This will be a wonderful time right now."

L-24 And I said, "Today I was entertained in the temple of the Jains, where many of you different leaders here was present. And you were telling me about how little Christianity was, and how great your religion was. I had not a chance to take up for the Lord Jesus. But," I said, "tonight, here is a man standing here, that's blind. Now if I'd ask the Mohammedan priest, or the Buddha priest, or whoever it might be, what caused him to do that, you would say he was wrong, because he worshipped the creation instead of the creator. I'd say 'amen' to that. That's true, 'The creation instead of the creator.'

L-25 "Well, now, if this man has just said that he would serve the God that give him back his sight! Now he finds out he's wrong. Now what would you do to him? You Buddhists would make him forsake his god and come and join Buddhism. Mohammedans would make him be a Mohammedan. And different ones. What is it? You'd only change his thoughts. You'd only... It's psychology."

L-26 I said, "America is full of the same thing. All the Methodists wants to change the Baptists. And the Baptists wants to change the Pentecostals. And the Oneness wants to change the Twoness. The Twoness wants to change..." Oh, my, I never heard such! But one thankful thing, we all worship the same God. But there it's different.

L-27   "But," I said, "it's psychology. Surely there's a Creator somewhere that made his eyes." Now, I wouldn't have said this if I hadn't seen the vision first. Cause, it...

L-28 I'm fifty-four years old, seen visions since I was eighteen months old. Never one... I'll ask anybody if they ever seen one fail. No, sir. It never will. It never did and it never will. It's always right, because it's God.

L-29 And then I knew the man was going to get his sight, but I was trying to set a little trap to catch some of them unbelievers. And I said, "Now, if the Mohammedan religion, which is the predominant religion here in India, let the Mohammedan priests there, come here and restore the sight to this man, and I'll become a Mohammedan." See? I said, "If the Buddha is such a great religion, let the Buddha priests come, or anyone." I said, "Surely, if the man wants to get right with the right God, surely the great Creator Who made his eyes the first time can make him eyes the second time, if he wants to use them to the glory of Him." That was the quietest audience I ever heard.
