<TITLE>06. Par 21-23</TITLE>L-21 What if someone would come in here tonight and give you a money order for a million dollars. Oh, my, a poor maybe in...?... Now, you would rejoice and say, "Oh, my," how rejoicing.
And maybe there'd be a man come in that was tattered and poor, dirty, and ugly. And no matter what he looked like, it isn't the messenger, it's the message that he gives you. Is that right? So don't notice the messenger; it's the message that you're hearing.
Now, and you'd look at that piece of paper, you'd start rejoicing. You'd say, "My, I'm worth a million dollars. It's a postal order for a million dollars, or a bank draft: a million dollars." You'd say...
"I can't see; what are you rejoicing about? You haven't got nothing."
You'd say, "Well, I've got a money order, or--for a million dollars."
Well, I'd say, "Well, that isn't nothing but just a piece of paper, just ink wrote on a piece of paper."
You'd say, "But looky here. That money order, before it could be written, there had to be a million dollars deposited before that order could be written." Is that right?

L-22 Well, you say, "When you read the Bible, what makes you all carry on so when you say, 'He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes you're healed?' When He said, 'Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you've receive it and you shall have it.'" Well, we should start rejoicing.
"Why," you say. "well, that's just a Words, just Words." But brother, before that Word could be written in the Bible, there had to be a deposit made at Calvary up there to take care of everything that He said. Yes, sir.
And each one of us has an account there and can draw off of it tonight, just anything you have need of. And He's standing there with a pen in His hand at the right-hand of the Father, ready to write out your forgiveness, ready to write out your healing, or anything that you have need of, He's ready to write it tonight. Is that right? Your deposit was made at Calvary. Anything that you have need of, He's there to make it right before God. Oh, no wonder we're happy people. No wonder we can rejoice in the God of our salvation, for He's marvelous and wonderful.

L-23 Now, in His reading--or in the writing, rather, we read this, in the book of Saint Matthew the 9th chapter, and the 18th and the 26th verse inclusive:
And while he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him--worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come... lay thy hands upon her, and she shall live. (Oh, I like that. See? Come... lay Your hand upon her. Now, he was a Jew talking to Jesus.)
And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
And, behold, a woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
