"I Am Your Portion"
“And I stood outside, and I got to myself and walked around to
get my car. Then something said to me; it was Satan; he said,
‘But what about you? Oral’s ministry come off of yours, so did
Tommy Osborn. Here you are. Where’s your IBM machines?’
A little old end of a trailer that Brother Leo lets me have an
office in, a phone setting in there, and a little second-handed
typewriter. ‘What about that?’ I said, ‘Oh, I would sure hate
for them to come see that.’ Satan says,’ You see, He don’t–can’t
trust you. I said, ‘I guess that’s right.’ See? ‘All them brother
with all, I guess, He–He just can’t trust me, that’s all.’
And I was standing there looking there, and I got real broke up; I thought, ‘O God. As hard as
I’ve tried and everything else.’ And I said then, ‘Look what You have done.’ Just then I heard a
voice said, ‘But I am your Portion.’ Amen. I thought, ‘Oh, God, a tent or a cottage, why should I
care. You’re building a palace for me over there, of rubies and diamonds, and silver and gold. His
coffers are full. He has riches untold. I’m a child, an eagle, of the King, a child of the King; with
Jesus, my Saviour, I’m a child of the King.’ Oh, my.”
