<TITLE>14. Par 143-152</TITLE>L-143 And how much more has He promised, how much more is it leaving in the Bible, to this very age that we're living, the Ephesians again, of the church ages. We've got seven church ages, and we're promised that at the Laodicea Church Age there would be another Ephesian. That's right. And we're here. I believe, with all my heart, that Jesus Christ Who made the promise.

L-144 As I said in my last message, standing over there against that wall, when I was here a few weeks ago. Every time you move your finger, that goes around and around the world, never will stop. Every move you make, you'll see it at the Judgment. Television proves that it's here, the fourth dimension. Cause, television doesn't manufacture that picture, it only channels that wave into a tube, and you see a picture. Color, everything, every moving object that's happening in the world, is going right around through here now, making a record. Someday, your record is going to be closed, and you're going to answer to that record. That's right.

L-145 God, let me so be blended, let me be so dead to myself and anything around me, but be conscious of the Word of God living among us today!
Let's pray.

L-146   Lord Jesus, Thou art a paradox, when God was made flesh. I pray, Heavenly Father, that You will manifest Yourself this afternoon, proving to us here today. Not only proving to us... There is, I suppose, ninety percent, or more, of the people set here, believe that, every Word. But that we might see You again, and let know that this Word that You spoke, that's still traveling around and around the world, just like a record, let us move into that record, today, Lord. Let us move in and not hear it just like it was coming secondly, from a man's mouth; but let that mouth, and person and people, all sitting here, become Your Word. We are ready to die, Lord, of our own ideas, just to see You keep Your promise, "The things that I do shall you do also." I pray that You'll grant this in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-147   Just before we call the prayer line. I was having a little bite of ice cream one day, with an old doctor friend of mine. He said, "I want to ask you something, Billy."
I said, "All right."

L-148 Said, "Do you believe in..." That's where I got this thought, paradox. Said, "Do you believe in a paradox?"
I said, "Sure."

L-149 He said, "I--I know you do." He said, told me about a certain person that had been healed, had been prayed for; that he had sold epilepsy drugs to, for years, sometimes they would have seven or eight seizures a day; strong medicines. And he said, "They never did come back for no more. And I see them all the time; never had it no more." Said, "I want to tell you something, just to let you know I--I believe what you're talking about."

L-150   He said, "During the time of the depression, my son here now was over the store." Said, "He was--he was waiting on kind of a young fellow, just said he... They sent him down a line, for medicine." And said, "A man come up here, and he had his wife," said, "a little woman, she was... You could look at her and see she was just about to be delivered at any time, of a child." And said, "She just couldn't stand in that line no more, so he--he brought his wife into the door, and just leaning on his shoulder."

L-151 And said, "My boy went up, said, 'Can I help you?' Said, 'Yes,' said, 'here is the prescription from the doctor. But,' said, 'I want to make it clear to you.' Said, 'I... we haven't got the money yet.' Said, 'We'll get it from the county, but my wife just can't stand it no longer. Doctor said she'd have the medicine right away.' And said, 'If you'll just give her the medicine, I'll go right there and stand in line till I--I get the money from the county.'

L-152 "And the boy said, 'Sir, I'm sorry.' Said, 'It's against our--our rules here, to give out the medicine without having the money.' You know how the times was in them days. And said, 'I--I feel sorry for her, but I can't do it.'"
