<TITLE>04. Par 35-49</TITLE>L-35 He said, "I never said 'the greater.' I just want to see the works that He did, first." Why, you talk, you know you're not talking to some little fellow down on the corner, when you talk to one of those theo-... them and their theology. So he said, "We want to see the works that He did."
"Oh," he said, "perhaps you're referring to Mark 16?"

L-36 He said, "Yes, sir. That's one of them, His last commission to the church."

L-37 He said, "Well, now, you see," said, "a lot of people fanatically believe that chapter." He said, "But we learned, better scholars in school, that Mark 16, from the 9th verse on, is not really inspired."

L-38 He said, "Why, Mr. Reedhead!" He said, "What part is inspired then?" He said, "Maybe the rest of It isn't inspired. All the Koran is inspired. What kind of a book are you reading, called the Bible?"

L-39 He said, "I've made in my heart I was coming to talk to you. Yeah, I was going to talk to you."

L-40 There you are. If This is not inspired, then what about the rest of It?

L-41   It reminds me of a lady in Chicago. Her boy went away to a seminary, to learn to be a minister, some Bible school and seminary. And while he was away, the old mother took real seriously sick. And so they sent word for the boy to 'stand by,' his mother with such a high fever, she had pneumonia, and said that (she) it --it might be an emergency call. So the boy packed his clothes and got ready. Finally, the next day, he never heard no word through the night, and the next day, said, "All is well."

L-42 So about a year later, he returned from the school in the East, some great school of teaching. And he came home and he greeted his precious mother, and he said, after talking a while, said, "Mother, I never did get the chance to ask you what happened." Said, "One night they told me to 'stand by', and the next morning, said you were 'well.'" Said, "What drug did the--the doctor use?"
Said, "Honey, the doctor didn't use nothing."
He said, "Well, how did you do it?"

L-43 Said, "You know where that little mission is down here on... almost to the loop, there at the square?"
"Yes."

L-44 Said, "There was a lady. They was having a prayer meeting down there, one night, in this little mission, that poor little humble bunch of people, and," said, "one of them was inspired to come up here and see me. And two women came, and they asked me if they could bring their pastor up and--and pray for me, and anoint me with oil, and--and," said, "and lay their hands upon me, that I'd be well." And said, "You know, I told them 'sure.' And they brought the pastor up, and he laid his hands upon me, and prayed." And said, "Honey, he read it right out of the Bible, Mark the 16th chapter, said, 'These signs will follow them that believe.'" And said, "You know what? The next morning, the doctor was so puzzled, he didn't know what to do. There was no fever in me."

L-45   "Oh," he said, "mother, you didn't associate with that group, did you?" Said, "See," he said, "we in the school, we learned that Mark 16, from the 9th verse on, is not inspired."
She said, "Glory to God!"

L-46 "Why," he said, "mother, you're beginning to act like those people."

L-47 She said, "I was just thinking something." Said, "I've been reading the Bible, all the way through, and other promises in other places, too, similar to that." And said, "I was just thinking, if God could heal me with the uninspired, what would He do with that really is inspired?" That's right.

L-48 To me, it's all inspired. God, give me faith to believe it and confirm it!

L-49   Now we're going to change now, for just a few minutes, of a court case. Now, remember, we're going into a court room, to bring Jesus, God, on the scene here, and give Him a fair trial. He is still the Word, even of this day, (do you believe it?), just the same as He was the Word then. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
