<TITLE>15. Par 132-140</TITLE>L-132   Just even take ten or fifteen years, back, look how it's declined since then, look how it's went down, down, down. It's got so it's almost a shame, a fellow feels embarrassed, almost, to talk about Divine healing, there been so much reproach brought upon it; talk about the Holy Ghost, when so much reproach has been brought upon It. That's right. It's not God's fault. It's a Samson that has left off of the principles of God's Word, and has substituted something else, and let the organization shave him down, woo him into it.

L-133 I say to you, my brother, sister, if I never see you no more this side of the--of the great Judgment Bar of God, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." His Word, to me, is Life. He is here now. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] I know He is here.

L-134   And the only thing you have to do, to know He is here, is get yourself out of the way. See? As long as you're in the way, then God cannot do nothing for you. When you think your thoughts, then God's thoughts don't have a chance. But if you'll quit thinking your thoughts, and think His thoughts! "My thoughts is not your thoughts," He said. "If there be any praise, if there be any virtue, think on these things." Not what some church is going to say about it, but what God said about it!

L-135 Like this little lady laying here, shaking in this cot. That woman is going to lay like that all of her life, unless she can get her--her faith set right straight on Jesus Christ. And no matter what comes or goes, it be revealed to her, then there is nothing going to stop the healing. That's right. But when you get your... Depends on what you're thinking about.

L-136   If you'll just believe and have faith, God can do anything for you. And the greatest thing He can do for you, tonight, is sweep your soul right back into the Presence of His Being. Right back there to where every person in here...

L-137 Just think, what if the Holy Ghost had everybody in here completely in His control? Think of what would take place tonight, think what would take place in Shreveport by this time tomorrow night! They would have headlines everywhere, "A bunch of people went crazy. They were healing the sick and raising the dead. They're doing all kinds of things down in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States, U.S.A." They'd have it on television, of what they was doing, if the Holy Ghost could take completely control.

L-138   Why don't He? He wants to. He is willing to. He is waiting. "Well," you say, "I've asked Him so many things, I just hate to ask Him too much." Ask abundance, that your joys might be full!

L-139 Could you imagine a little fish, a half inch long, out in the middle of the Pacific, saying, "I better drink of this water sparingly, I might run out, someday"? Could you think of a little mouse about that big, in the great garners of Egypt, think, "I'll allowance myself to one grain a day, 'cause I might run out before the next harvest comes in"? Oh, my! Now divide that by a hundred billion, and that's how easy you can exhaust God's mercies and grace and power to you, if you'll just believe it, you can just leave yourself... Well, I'm sorry I... that's, you can't exhaust Him.

L-140   He is the inexhaustible fountain of Eternal Life, here tonight to make manifested any Divine promise of His Bible, to anybody that'll believe It. Amen. Yes, sir. The only thing you do is drink. Come to the fountain and drink. Drink until you're satisfied. You can't exhaust Him. No, sir. He is absolutely the inexhaustible, and you can just drink and drink and drink. You can drink your healing in. You can drink your salvation in. Just come and drink. "Let him that's thirsty come and drink." Amen. I--I--I--I know He is here, and I know He'll do the exceedingly, abundantly if we'll just let Him do it.
