<TITLE>04. Par 13-17</TITLE>L-13 Therefore, when people come up here for healing, I'm watching them. And I see people sometimes run up here with a Divine gift, if he didn't examine that case perfectly, right truly... And if something had been put on that person, a curse of sickness, sometimes it happens that way. Sickness sometimes, and diseases, and afflictions is God's whip to bring the people back to to the path...?... All right.
Not every time it's like that. Remember the boys at the gate? They said, "Who--who sinned, he, or his father, or his mother?" Remember that?
Jesus said, "In this case, neither, that the works of God might be known."

L-14 Now, you have to know those things. That's why on each case, I examine it real closely. I know right where I'm standing. And if I ask once and it doesn't leave, then I'll check closely. And then if I don't see nothing, I'll leave it alone till God shows me what to do. Have to watch that thing, because there might be something put on that person, God intended to be there to bring them to a certain thing. You come right back around and take that thing off what God's put on, look where you stand before God. And if God's endued you with something, to do something with... you have to watch.
Therefore, brothers, their Divine gift... I have said this... Many of my managers and things know this is true. I've went to... When I first started, I was so elated with it, till I would go into a city and call a meeting. I'd say, "You go to the city and bring me... Let the ministers or somebody, bring me somebody that they know is crippled or afflicted, and let me have that person. And I'll assure you that person will be healed 'fore I'm through." And I made challenges like that.

L-15 I went into Phoenix one time. And I made a challenge. They brought a little crippled Mexican girl. Oh, she was horribly. A hour and forty-five minutes I had that child on the platform, just held it, stayed right with it, and pled to let--that God would let the baby loose... come loose. The baby come loose, went around, walked down off platform there, walked down and come back again.
And I remember at Vandalia, Illinois, where I seen the great--one of the greatest...?... I ever seen in a meeting. And I said that same thing. I said, "You go get a person and bring them to me."
They did, a boy brought born blind, about fifteen years old. I stayed right with the boy, stayed right there until that boy received his sight. And after I did that, taken the time where hundreds was setting to be prayed for, but put all the time on that one boy.

L-16 And after I heard him screaming, and he come back... He was wondering through the crowd; he got back; he said, "I told my mother that I wanted to see what the man looked like that opened my eyes."
I said, "I hope you see Him someday, the Lord Jesus Christ."
So he took hold of my tie, he said, "Mother, is..." I had on a striped tie. He said, "Is that--that color of them things through there. Is that what you call stripes?" All of them crying. He said, "Now, what color would you call his suit?" He said, "That's what they call lights up there?" Born blind, never seen in his life... Lot of people were fainting everywhere.

L-17 I went to the hotel that night, my brother Donny and my little son, Billy. They went in the hotel. It was about two o'clock in the morning. And I was lying down sleeping, had just went to sleep, which I don't sleep very much at night, always in prayer.
Nighttime, when all demon powers shut down towards morning. When they're not roaming, that's the time the Holy Spirit moves in and talks to me. Go early if you want to pray; rise up early. Most all the...?... workers is gone...?... demons... demons... And places are closing up. That causes strange things... You know what I mean by that.
