If He Could Heal Me With Uninspired Word, What Would He Do With That's Really Inspired Then ?
Puts me in mind of a little woman here not long ago. She was belonged to a church, and she washed over a board and everything. She wanted her boy to go away to be a preacher. He had a little calling in his heart, so she sent him away to one of these big classical schools. And the first thing you know, while he's away three or four years, his little Mammy got sick. They sent him word, thought she was going to die, he had to come home.
Well, during that time, there was a little woman lived down in a mission of a Full Gospel. So she went up and told to this woman, she said, "Do you believe in Divine healing?"
She said, "Well, I don't know. Is it in the Bible?"
Said, "Yes, it's in the Bible." Said, "Our pastor prays for the sick." Said, "Well, can I have him come up and pray for you?"
Said, "Why, yes, if it's in the Bible."
So the pastor come up, said, "Howdy do, lady?" Said, "Now, I just like... I don't want to take you from the church; I just want to read you what God said." So he said, "Here's the departing words of Jesus Christ, 'Go into all the world, preach the Gospel; he that believes and is baptized could be saved; these signs shall follow them that believe: In My Name they'll cast out devils, speak with new tongues, take up serpents, drink deadly things; if they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover.'"
She said, "Why, it's in the Bible."
Said, "Yes."
Said, "Well then, you anoint me and pray for me." They did. The Lord healed her.
Well, it went on. After while the boy come home, and he was rejoicing, said, "Oh, Mother." Said, say, by the way, you wrote and told me was telling me I was going to have to come home all at once, that you was so sick with that pneumonia." But said, "All at once you quit--you quit writing." Said, "What happened?"
She said, "Oh, honey," said, "the--that Full Gospel Mission down here, them holy-rollers," said, "their pastor come up and anointed me with oil and read out of the Bible in Mark the 16th chapter that we should pray for the sick. And he prayed for me, and the Lord healed me." Said, "Praise the Lord, honey. What do you think about that?"
He said, "Mother," said, "the very idea. You with them people? Why," he said, "mother, down in the seminary..." said, "Them men are--are illiterate; they don't understand." He said, "We know down the seminary that Mark 16 from the 9th chapter on is not even inspired."
She said, "Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah."
He said, "Mother, ridiculous."
Said, "What do you mean?" She said, "Honey, you mean Mark 16 what he read to me from Mark 16, the 9th chapter on is not inspired?"
Said, "No."
Said, "Glory." Said, "If God could heal me with uninspired Word, what would He do with that's really inspired." Amen.
That's right. What are you going to do with Mark 11:24 and all of that? "What things you ask in My Name I'll do." Yes, sir. "If He could heal me with uninspired Word, what would He do with that's really inspired then?" He could really do things that way. That's right."
