<TITLE>02. Par 11-20</TITLE>L-11   Now, I realize, to come here with Brother Vick, these brethren, I... It's a big job, because there has been many great men in here, great influential speakers. I was hearing Brother William Booth-Clibborn, one time, speaking of having a long meeting with the Rock Church. Did I say that right? It's the Rock Church. And I call it "stone church," all the time. So it's all I... And so, and many other great men who has been here visiting. And I've longed to be with the church myself. And to meet men... Or come in a pulpit where people has listened to such men as that, and your pastor, Brother Boze, Doctor Lee Vayle, and many of those other great ministers, it--it kind of makes me feel pretty small. But I'm here to do my part in this. Maybe the finger feels pretty small to the--to the mind, but yet it--it must remain a finger. See, we--we must have it.

L-12   So now just a little familiar text, so we won't stay too long, a little text that I usually introduce to the meeting, and each time try to get around somewhere different.

L-13 We were going to have a prayer line, tonight, of praying for the sick in a... in a--a prayer line. And my son, which I met the lovely... some of the people of the stone church, this morning, Rock Church, excuse me. Brother Boze told me that that was 'cause I was from the West, the reason I call it a--a stone; out there they call it stone, here they call it rock. So I meeting those fine people, and they... we got everything set in order, I said, "Now I'll go over." And they gave me a bunch of prayer cards, said, "Take these and have my son to give them out, so we can pray for the sick." Well, he didn't know we was going to do it that way, so he and some of the brethren were out and gone, and didn't get in in time to give out those cards. But I suppose they've already announced some way they'd be giving them tomorrow, however it is, how they'd be giving them out tomorrow.

L-14   But I thought then, tonight, with a little introduction of what we want to talk about.

L-15 Now, many people, speaking of--of Divine healing or any other subject in the Bible, the first thing we find, the greatest hindrance, is, people try to build it either way back in the past tense or way over in the future tense, or it's so high that no one can reach it. Now that's just the Devil doing that.

L-16 Because, the Bible said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." He ever remains God. And He is just as great with His people, when He finds believers today, as He ever was. And--and I believe the Word to be this Bible, to be the Word of God, just no more and no less. I know that God can do things that He has not written in the Bible, because He is God. But as long as I know that what I see Him doing, He has written in here, that He will do it, then I know I'm right, that way. And so He... Yes, He keeps that much, it'll be enough for me, because I see in there that, "He was wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my iniquity, the chastisement of my peace upon Him, with His stripes I was healed." So that that finishes the journey for me.

L-17   And--and He promised it, that we... He would raise us up at the last day, so we're looking for that time to come. Many precious saints are waiting, of course, for that hour.

L-18 Now, this, God has got to judge the--the people, the world. We believe there is coming a day that when God will judge the world by Jesus Christ. Now there has to be some standard, somewhere, that He has to judge by.

L-19 Well, because so many people today would say, "Well, I'm," even people say they are, "Christ," and, "I am Christ," and, "I am of Christ," and, "this denomination is of Christ, or, this denomination." It would be a bit confusing if there wasn't some standard.

L-20 Now if I go to ask the Catholic people in the building here, tonight, "Do you, what do you think God will judge the world by?"
They would say, "Well, the standard of the Catholic church."
