I can teach a five year old child the Kingdom of God, better that I can teach a man that’s got a—a degree out of college. I can teach him Christ better. He’s simple. He just listens to what you say. Watch coming to the platform. You’ll never see God turn a child down. He don’t do it. No, sir. Because they’re just simple in faith. They believe it. And when they believe it, that just settles it. God says so, and that—that takes care of it. The little child will believe it, but, oh, my, we know better, you know. We knowed all the angles, and just how could it be. We got to figure out, “Now, how could this be?” But it’ll be anyhow. What caused me to go to—to Africa on this trip? Just to…Brings up this vision. And I’m watching that clock there, but I’m way early, so I got plenty of time. It’s only twenty-five minutes till four, so I—I suppose I have a whole lot of time. But you…Some of you brothers let me know about, when it’s just about time to start the prayer line in about a half-hour.
