<TITLE>03. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 Now, just... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... of my text to finish up, for I left the children of Israel last Sunday at the prophet of the Balaam. And there's where I preached conviction upon myself. How many was here Sunday 'fore last to see it? Well, you seen what happened to me. Well, I--I brought down conviction to myself. Brother Kidson and I had always... I've made this statement that there was no disease, regardless of what it was, would stand before the prayer, or no affliction, no matter how bad it was crippled but what would be healed if I'd took time for that person. You've heard me mention that everywhere, haven't you? And that's true. It's still true. But now, today the great test is over, and I'm going to let it be to me a stepping stone in the stead of a stumbling block and so to teach me the ways of the Lord better, and that I might live closer to Him. And as I live closer to Him, I can help these people more and to be led by His Spirit.

L-7 And now, the first thing I wish to do now before we start in on it is to have a word of prayer. And then we're going to speak a few moments, and I'll give you some testimonies of some things that's happened, and then we're going to start the prayer line and give plenty of time to pray for everybody that desires to be prayed for, and especially all those who cannot come back to other services. And then I'll give you the reasons...
And before I say this, 'fore I have prayer, I want to thank God for returning to me again the gift of healing and for more success: since Sunday before last and--and then in them two weeks, and really praying for the sick than that's been in months. That's right. It come back more blessed than it was at the first place. And you'll notice it, I'm sure, in the meeting.

L-8 But first can we reverently bow our heads everywhere for prayer. Father dear, we come to Thee today just as humbly as we know how to approach Thee. And realizing the last time that I stood on this pulpit, I was a condemned man: I stood here and realized how helpless I was without You. To feel Your Presence leave me and to see me come here before a little girl that was just merely hard of hearing and see her go deaf right here on the pulpit; to see a man, hard of hearing and return deaf... Oh Christ, I realize without You I'm a failure. I cannot go alone. And so, in these times, Father, I've decided without You I--I'm not even going to go home, because I'd only bring a reproach upon You. And far be it from me, God, to ever do that.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] They'll all be healed, every one of them. Help me in the testimonies, Father, that I'd speak of this afternoon. May it be that the people will understand. And may everyone here receive a blessing [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Father, every [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] the rich, the outcast, the white, the colored, all... Be with us now, and shed forth Thy Holy Spirit upon us all. Get glory out of the service and help Thy tired, weary servant. For we ask it in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-9 My last... The--the last time that God sent His Angel down... Many of you, here... How many has heard about how the gift of healing was brought to me by the Angel of God? Most all of you do. Well, dear friend, after realizing, laying in that condition for that many hours, I even got a little piece of paper and sketched out, before going out, I thought it was the end of life, and I wrote to my wife what to do, and a little sketch to Brother Kidson and different ones like that. And I realize that I had no hold on life to hold my own life; it might go any time. But if this is my last meeting with you people, the visitation of that Angel is true, before God. That's right. It's true. And as I stand here with this Bible beside me, and He did come, and I have told you the truth; even if I was going to die this moment, it's true.
