<TITLE>03. Par 8-9</TITLE>L-8 Now, we're going to read some of the Word, and then just a comment or two on It. And then we're going to--to start the prayer line, because I have... This has been a fast day, fasting and praying that God would grant His blessings upon you people tonight.
Now, over in the Book of Saint John the 4th chapter, beginning with the 46th verse, I wish to read. And then I want to read just a--a little bit out of the 10th chapter of Saint John, the 22nd and the 25th verse inclusive. And as I read, I want you to listen real close now, to the Word.
Now, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the Word. Is that right? That's how we receive faith is by hearing the Word. Now, listen closely.
 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
And when he had heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death... (Now, watch this distress.)
Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
The nobleman said unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. (Now, Jesus, look how He answered him back. See? He said, "Except you see signs and wonders, you won't believe. And he said, "Come down ere my child die." Now, he's trying to get Jesus to go to his house.)
Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and went his way.

L-9 Now, get the order of it. Now, he wanted Him to come down and pray for him. But Jesus kinda give him a stoppage. He said, "Except you see signs and wonders, you won't believe."
Said, "Sir, come ere my son--my child would die."
He said, "Go your way; your son liveth." And the man believed what Jesus said.
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
And then enquired he of them the hour he begin to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
So the father knew that it was the same hour, in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when He came out of Judaea in Galilee.
Did you notice, he referred that gradual healing to a miracle.
And he wanted... The man wanted Him to come down and pray for his son, and He wouldn't go. But He said, "Thy son liveth." And the man believed what Jesus said. The man believed the Word Jesus said. Now, that's the point I want you to get: Believe what He said is the truth.
Then when he met them, met his servants, the next day, he... it's... He said, "There's your son's still alive. Your son liveth."
He said, "Well, what time did he begin to amend?"
He said, "At the seventh hour yesterday, the--the fever left him." About two o'clock, I guess. Ninth hour is at three. So I guess about two o'clock yesterday, said, the fever left him.
And the man said, "Yes, that's about the same hour when He told me my son was going to live."
And he believed and all of his house believed with him, because that Jesus said the Word, and the man believed the Word. See what I mean?
