Mark 16 From The 9th Verse On Is Not Inspired
Not long ago, I remember a little old woman, girl. Out in the country she'd went away, went over to the city to go to school, you know. She was going to learn a whole lot of things. Her brother went away to be a doctor. It was a very strange affair. Her old mother got sick while the doctor was away and--and so the doctor, or it was... I beg your pardon. He didn't go to be a doctor. He went to get his degree of doctor. And when he...
She got sick, and she called for the doctor, and the doctor couldn't do nothing for her. She had pneumonia; she thought she's going to die. So there was a woman down in the city that had a--went to a Full Gospel Church. And she come up there and she said, "Lady," said, "do you believe in praying for the sick?"
Said, "Well, I never heard nothing about it."
Said, "Do you believe in Divine healing?"
Said, "Well, our pastor never says nothing about it."
Said, "Well, our pastor believes in Divine healing." Said, "Will you let him come up and pray?"
She said, "Well, I don't know." Said, "Is it in the Bible?"
So she turned over to Mark 16. She read it to her. "These signs shall follow them that believe: lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." So the--the Full Gospel pastor come up and anointed her with oil and prayed for her; and the woman got well.
So then when the boy come home, he said--he said... Oh, he was just rejoicing with his mother, you know. And said, "Say, mother," said, "you never did tell me how you got along." Said, "What kind of a drug did you take?"
She said, "Oh, sonny, I'm so happy you mentioned that." He'd got his degree from college and so forth. He was going to be a preacher. And he said, "I'm so glad you mentioned that." She said, "There's a... You know that little mission way downtown there, down on..."
"Yes."
Said, "That Full Gospel place." Said, "That preacher come up and read the Bible of Mark 16." And said, "He anointed me with oil and prayed for me." And said, "And you know, the Lord healed me?"
He said, "Oh, mother," said, "the very idea." Said, "Why, you know that's not right."
"Oh," she said, "honey, it's in the Bible." Said, "Mark 16, he read it." She said...
He said, "Mother, we learned over at the college that Mark 16 from the 9th verse on is not inspired."
The little mother said, "Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah."
And he said, "Why, mother. Why, ridiculous. What's happened to you?"
She said, "Honey, I was just thinking. Did you say Mark 16 is not inspired?"
Said, "No, no, it's not."
Said, "If God could heal me with uninspired Word, what could He do with That's inspired?" Said, "If He could do that, what would He do with That's inspired?"
That's right. If uninspired Word will do, well, what will That which really is inspired? What would Mark 11:24 do? What would that do? Oh, my. Sure. God is here and He's with us."
