<TITLE>13. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 Now, listen, friends. I believe that before Almighty God, Who I stand now, if I would walk from the building right now, the message that I have preached is justified in the sight of God. I believe it. For He has confirmed and performed everything that I've declared that He would do. Is that right?
Then, what I'm wondering now, why couldn't we have a prayer line and pray for about a hundred or more of a night, and not even have to stop and tell the people these things, and discern all their diseases, hold them by the hands, and work up their faith. Why don't you come on your own faith now, being that God has proved that He's here. Come on your own faith, and go out of the building rejoicing, and saying "Thank God, I'm healed." That's what He said do.

L-51 Now, it... Am I... If you think I'm telling the truth... Be honest in your heart. You think it's truth, raise your hand? That's the truth. I believe it, friends. Therefore, I believe hundred people each night, or more, could be prayed for. And dear brother, sister, that being that I'm weak and tired...
Now, standing talking doesn't bother me. I could preach day in and out, and it wouldn't bother me. That builds me up. But this other takes it out of me. I can bring two people before me now, and stand here and hold them until their disease is gone, and I'd be weaker than if I'd used a pick and shovel eight hours today. God, Who I stand before, knows that's the truth. It's something that just tears the life out of me.

L-52 And I wonder if, one of these nights, if God would permit, why couldn't we have a line like that, and let everybody come down, and let me stand here. And if I wish to stop and wait for one...
I want to pray for you. Not just pass you through like you used to have the old fast line. They used to come through here, and people... They'd send me out there to be--let me pray for the sick. I'd get so weak I couldn't stand up. Then two men, one on one side, one on the other, would hold me there, let the people come by and lay their hands on me. Hundreds of them were healed.
But many times, they come staggering through, said, "He never prayed for me." They were right. He said, "If you'll be sincere when you pray." It's the prayer of faith that saves the sick. If you've got faith enough, you won't even have to come here. You can be healed where you're setting.
But He told me, "If I would pray for the sick, and get them to believe me, be sincere when I pray..." That's what done the healing. Their belief that God has sent His gifts.

L-53 'Course, He forbids me to take glory, and I--I couldn't do that. And even know, friends, that no man, no flesh could glory before God. And what am I standing here for? What am I out in these meetings for? I'm working for Christ. I have a little church at home, provides a living for me if I go back to it, lovely. I could go fishing every day, and preach twice a week. Could I get by with that? My soul would be haunted with the bony hands reaching for it. I must stay in the pulpit till I die. Woe unto me if I don't declare this counsel of God to the people (See?), of this healing power.
And He's here. Christ, the Son of God, is here to heal the sick and the needy. I want to read just a Scripture before we go...?... It's found over in Matthew, the 4th chapter.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues... preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every manner of sickness and every manner of disease among the people.
And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought unto him the sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils... and those which had the palsy; and he healed them.
