47-0412 - FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE - OAKLAND CA
« E-1 † We're getting some new gadgets for recording.
We're hardly know each night where we're going to be at. That's just I think the--about the third move in the last four nights. So we got another move, I think, tomorrow night. So that's what makes it awfully bad, just kind of shifting around from place to place, then you'll hardly... It's just like a new place every night, and--and makes it very hard.
I trust that sometime when I come back again to Oakland, why, maybe we can get something like the auditorium here for a week or two. That's when we can have a real revival and a real meeting. Don't you believe that? Yes, I believe we could too.
It's just our schedule has been so irregular. Well, I would say this: we're just a night or two here and then a hundred miles farther. Just about the time we get the thing, the people settled down to where they can begin to see the supernatural moving of God, then it's they break up the meeting, go somewhere else two, three, four hundred miles farther and start again, and just when the people are becoming into the revival stage where they can be healed and many things can be done...

« E-2 † So I think, after I get back now from Canada, well, before we go to Mexico or anywhere, I think we'll just make the revival places, stay about a month at a time in a place, or something like that, so we can just really get the people... When they can stay long enough till some of the people that's prayed for, will be--begin to come in, and reports coming in, getting well, getting well like that, and testimonies going...
Like in my own hometown at Jeffersonville, Indiana. Why, it's nothing there. My, just as soon we come into town, hundreds of people flock from everywhere, 'cause they have--they are... You're settled down to one place; you're not on the move like this.

« E-3 † And then, friends, this is just about six months I've been going day and night almost.
Today I had a wonderful day alone with God. No one was there but just the Lord and I. And I get myself more settled down when I get alone. Now, I've got five more meetings before I have any rest coming up: five more meetings. And then in the month of May, I'm to take a complete month, going up into the Rocky Mountains where, my, alone there when you kinda look like get... I like to be alone with God. That's the way to--that I find Him so dear to me. And then coming back then to start into Canada...

« E-4 † Now, we do not have much time. What time you have to close the auditorium? Eleven o'clock? Eleven o'clock, I think they said is closing of the auditorium.
So I wish to speak to you tonight just for--just take a little bit of time and teach the Word of faith, and that you might know how to approach God.
There's many of these great and deep subjects that people claim that they know much about. And when it comes down to the final showdown, they know very little of it. Now, that's true. And we're going to find out a few of those things tonight.
And by the way, day after tomorrow night at the other auditorium, I'm to give a little sketch of my life story; that is, if you'd like to hear it. Would you like to hear it? Let's see your hands. That's--that's just fine. Have you announced where the auditorium is?

« E-5 † [End of record--Ed.]... reasonable idea, because I want you to be healed. That's what I'm here for. I... This is a great sacrifice for me to be here, friends. I have a home, a family. And I'm new; I'm just a--a baby in the work. This is just a few months since the gift of healing came to me.
I don't have--I don't...?... own my home. I just live in two rooms in a little "L" cottage. My wife packs water for somewhat, almost a half a city block, packs it back out of the house again. I've been offered wonderful homes in different cities where they tell me, "I'll build you a home worth five thousand dollars, just give it to you."

« E-6 † Friends, it isn't money with me. I--I'm--I wished I never even had to think about it. And that's the reason that many of you send, you offer me your gifts; I--I don't take them. Because it's not your--your finance; I want your confidence. I--I'm here for your healing.
