It's All Inspired
One time there was woman, her boy went away to college. And he learned a whole lot, you know. And while he was gone away to some great college to learn all about God and everything, his poor old mother got sick; and the doctors about to give her up. She had pneumonia and was going to die.
So this little old woman lived down the street, went to a mission, the Full Gospel Mission. So it come back up, and told her, said, "Now, lady," said, "do you believe, your pastor, believe in praying for the sick?"
Said, "No, I don't believe we believe in Divine healing down there."
Said, "Well, our church believes in Divine healing. Let me get your--my pastor to come up and pray for you."
She said, "Well, all right." And so the pastor come up, and anointed her with oil, and prayed for her. And the woman got well. So her--her boy came home from the cemetery, seminary, a little later on. So when... I--I get those two mixed up, and there are so close together anyhow. So I got... It got up there.
So the first thing you know, he said, "Mother, dear, I'm so glad to see," and rejoiced her, and said, "Now, the thing I was wondering, mother," he said, "you--you was telling me, being so sick, and I was ready to come home, then all at once you wrote and told me you were well." Said, "I never did get the meanings of that."
Said, "Oh, honey, didn't you understand?"
Said, "No."
Said, "You know where that little mission is downtown there?"
"Yes."
Said, "That Full Gospel preacher come up and prayed for me, anointed me with oil, and the Lord healed me. Hallelujah!"
"Why," he said, "mother, the very idea. Why," said, "of course, those are illiterate people down there." Said, "They do not understand." Said, "We have learned at the seminary, that Mark 16..."
That's where she said, said, "Why, he prayed over me, and anointed the Bible," and said, "'they lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.'" [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] And said, "I believed it." And said, "God healed me."
"Why," she... he said, "mother," said, "Mark 16 from the 9th verse on is not inspired."
She stood there a little bit; she said, "Well, praise the Lord. Praise the Lord."
He said, "Mother, what's the matter with you?"
Said, "I was just a-thinking. If God could heal me with uninspired Word, what could He do with that really is inspired?"
If the uninspired Word would heal, what would that was really inspired? What Mark 11:24 do? What would others do? John 4, John 14:12, and so forth. See? It's all inspired."
