<TITLE>15. Par 146-156</TITLE>L-146   One, two, three, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. C, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. All right.

L-147 Now, "I the Lord have planted it, I will water it day and night lest some should pluck it from My hand." Look at the criticism! No denomination to back It up. No churches like It around the country here. No Pentecost in the country, nothing else to sustain It. Everybody against the water baptism, everybody against all these other things. Even to my own family, my own daddy turned me away from the door, I got my clothes in a little paper sack and went and lived in New Albany. Right.
But through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
It's grace that brought me safe this far,
I'm fifty-six years old, and soon I've got to cross the river.
Grace will take me on.
When I've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun;
We'll have no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.
Oh, how I love Jesus! He's all the world to me!

L-148   Oh, all right, how many did I... Where'd I leave off, ten? Can we take some more? All right. What was that, ten, fifteen? All right. C, ten to fifteen, wherever you are, if you can stand up and get in. What say? Huh? All right. C, fifteen to twenty, then. Let that be C, fifteen to twenty. That would be ten more people. We see... You see--see where the line is standing there, we don't get them--get them crowded. And we'll... All right.

L-149 Now give me your undivided attention; we won't be long. But, now, oh, what a hour, what a time! I--I wish that everybody could love the Lord. I--I wish that we could all just come to that spot to realize the potential of this minute. Let's try it. Just give me your attention.

L-150   What--what are we trying to do here? We are placing God's Word through a test. Elijah done the same thing, walked out upon the mount after he knowed that he was sent from God to do it. He said, "Now let's prove who is God, let the God that answers by fire be God."

L-151 And the heathens cut, oh, say, "Well, sure, no..." The--the heathens knowed fire wasn't going to fall, so they'd scream and carry on.

L-152 But Elijah knowed it was going to fall, 'cause he had a vision from the Lord.
You say, "He had a vision?"

L-153 Yes, sir! When he got everything laid in order, he said, "Lord, I've done all this at Your command." And then the fire begin to fall. When God's Word is kept to the letter, then it's God's business to take care of the rest of it. He just asks you to lay it out there. And be sure that you're called to lay it out there. See? And if you are, He'll take care of the rest of it.

L-154   Now, here will be people coming through this line that I'll be praying... Now, well, you're just about to the wall now, all right, to the line to start. Now, first, at least somewhere here in the building, some people...
How many here is sick and don't have a prayer card, raise up your hand. See, just all over. Now, you know if our Lord... And I believe He will, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He run prayer lines. People come to Him in great lines, multitudes, He touched them, blessed them. Then He stopped sometime and said, "Who touched Me?" Look around, told a woman what she touched Him for; and said her blood issue was gone, her faith had made her whole.

L-155 What if she had turned around and said, "Well, I don't know, Lord, I've had this a long time"? It wouldn't a happened. No, it wouldn't a happened. No.

L-156 What if He told the Syrophenician woman, "Because of this word that you said, your daughter, the devil is gone out of her," what if say, "Well, now, Lord, I--I wanted You to do it this a way"? The--the devil would have still been in the girl. But she expected to find her child the way He said she would find her.
