<TITLE>02. Par 14-25</TITLE>L-14 He drove all the way to Jeffersonville. And he come down, a little nervous fellow running around his car. He said, "You think I got a gift of healing?"

L-15 I said, "Tommy, you look like a prosperous boy, and something that would be a credit to the Kingdom of God." I said, "Tommy, don't do that. Don't go to thinking about those things." I said, "You know God called you to preach the Gospel. If He calls you to preach the Gospel, Divine healing is included in it." And he went up with Brother Bosworth.

L-16   And the other day I stood and looked at his building, and, oh, my, a million and a half dollars, or something, in it. And I looked over there, Oral was standing there. I was waiting. I had been up. Oral was so nice, and all of them, showing me around. Real nice brothers!

L-17 And I stood there, and I thought. "Think, I was on the field before they started. They, each one, tell you that they caught the inspiration from that." And I thought, "I'd hate for them to come to my office." Huh! I got one little typewriter sitting in the end of a trailer. Uh-huh. See? "I'd hate for them to see it." And I thought, "Lord, looky here, look at this big building worth three million dollars, they say." And I thought.

L-18   I looked down the road, and I went; it said, "the future home" of So-and-so. "Future home."

L-19 And I thought. But I--I don't say this in disregarding these brothers, but just what was said to me. I thought, where is my future home? Something said, "Look up." So that's good enough for me. As long... I'll look for mine up There. So I don't say that they won't be There, too, you see, but that was just to encourage me, you see.

L-20 I wouldn't have sense enough to know how to handle money like that. God knows that, too. And then what if I had great big obligations like that, do you think I could come here to this place? You think I could hold a three-days meeting here like Brother Roberts? When, Brother Roberts has to have around ten thousand every day. Why, I would go wild the first day, to meet that. See? Why, I can hold a meeting where there is five people, or two people, or one person, or go wherever He sends me. I have no need of anything but more of Him. So that's what I want you to pray, that I'll have more of Him, to know Him. The Lord bless you!

L-21   Every crowd, now, they have three classes of people: believers, make-believers, unbelievers. You have it in every crowd.

L-22 Jesus had it in His, and I showed you the other night how He segregated them by saying things and never explaining it. See? He never said why they'd have to eat His body, why He come; how He was to come down, same One going up. When, these people knowed He was just a man, had a bad name to begin with, but He said it just to test their faith.

L-23 Those disciples never moved. They couldn't explain it. But look what Peter said, "Lord, where would we go to?" See, they had seen the Word of God for that day, that was promised for then, vindicated. They say, "We know that That is the source."

L-24   Look at the Shunammite woman, the same way, when she got the little boy from the blessing of Elijah. She said, "Saddle me a mule, and don't you stop till I bid you." See? And she went to the man of God. And he didn't know. But she knowed if God could have that prophet to tell her she would have a son, she could find out why God took her son. And she was persistent in doing so. And you remember, she stayed with her--her--her faith till she found out what was the... what caused it. And Elijah went, not even knowing what he would do, walked up-and-down the floor; laid his body upon the baby, and it come to life.

L-25 You see, it's because that people believe. They--they can't explain. No one can explain God. But when you see God doing something in His Word, that He promised He would do it!
