<TITLE>06. Par 59-71</TITLE>L-59   And the president of the Four Rose Whiskey was over to our place, here some time ago, and she brought her daughter. And she said, oh, the little girl wanted to be healed. And she said she had heard about it, and she going to have an operation. And so they said... Oh, she wanted to come over. She didn't want to be operated on.

L-60 Well, she run right in while I was speaking, want to be prayed for right then, had to be right then. Well, now, she couldn't stay. Her mother was after her. So mother come in the back of the room, set down with that arrogant look. So then we come up, prayed for the little girl and went back.

L-61 Well, couple days after that, the doctor had said, said, "All right. It's a bunch of foolishness." Said...

L-62 But she said, "No, I feel fine. No appendicitis with me. I'm fine and dandy."

L-63 So then they went on, four or five days. After while... You see, just as I explained it, after about seventy-two hours, that symptom reoccurs again if you really got healed, see, healing. I'm not talking about miracles. And it reoccurred because the appendix begin to swell. And the doctor said, "Now, you see? Now you better go get that holy-roller preacher again."

L-64   So then, he wouldn't operate. But, course, when there was about fifteen hundred dollars involved, he--he--he could do it. He said he wouldn't, but he did it. It happened to be a friend of mine on that staff, that, when they removed, opened the girl up, to take the appendix out, there was nothing wrong. See? They operated for nothing. They just left the appendix there, 'cause it wasn't even affected in no way. And the doctor come, told me about it, a friend of mine on that staff, that helped operate.

L-65   Now you see what it was. She was all excited and didn't know just how to hold onto that faith. See? And there we don't get a chance to explain that. Then that made the... My doctor friend told the mother, and said, "The appendix is still there." They said, "She needed that appendix, and it wasn't infected. It was nothing to it, at all, just perfectly normal, pink; just, oh, like it should be."

L-66 And the mother became a believer. Then she says to me, "What needs to be done, is, your ministry, is not sit down in the corner with a bunch of--of just ordinary people. It should be flashed across the country everywhere, should be on billboards." Now that's just what the Devil wants. That's right. See? But, no, I don't want it like that.

L-67 I--I want it so I can just visit anywhere, do any. Wherever the Lord calls, that's where I want to go. Just where He just keep it humble, and let the Lord move us wherever He wishes to move us.

L-68   And now, to you people, if you... that's been prayed for, if you... After about seventy-two hours, corruption sets in. We know that. Mortification sets in after seventy-two hours. If something reoccurs... If you really believe that, with all your heart, there's nothing going to stop it. You believe it, anyhow. Stay right with it. It'll be all right. Don't you...

L-69 But you can't bluff it now. You've got to really know it, that it's done. See? There's a lot of difference between hope and faith. A hope just hopes for it. Faith knows it's done. So, that's the difference.

L-70   Now, this morning, I don't want to keep you. It's already ten o'clock, and, see, about six minutes after, by this watch that Billy give to me.

L-71 And now I want to read a verse out of the book of Isaiah, the 1st chapter, for just a little comments. And I got some Scriptures written down here, that I might refer to. And just keep you about thirty minutes, then we'll be ready to go, the Lord willing. Isaiah, the 1st chapter and the 18th verse.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be... white as snow; though... be red like crimson, they shall be white like wool.
