<TITLE>05. Par 19-23</TITLE>L-19 And remember, that no man has any power to heal anyone. And no matter how much you believe that virtue goes out of your hands and arms or whatever. It's not that, because Jesus has already done that. When He died at Calvary, He redeemed you from your sickness. That's right. And you have to accept it. It's a faith that you have in that that does the healing. Now, that's inquestionable too, because we've got thousand times thousand of evidences to prove that--that lame, blind, halt, and everything...
Look setting here at the senator, Mr. Upshaw, tonight standing here that was a cripple for all these years, sixty-six years. Look at him tonight (See?), up like a little child, so full of glee he run up and shook my hands and hug me when I come in. Why, he was all... Now, that's the proof for one thing, isn't it? And others who has been blind and death and dumb...
Now, we know that the redemptive blessings included Divine healing, so let's believe it with all our hearts.

L-20 Now, the way that the blessing that comes through this... The Angel of the Lord, and Whose servant I am, when I was a little boy born in that little log cabin forty-two years ago the sixth day of April according to the Kentucky count... That's the... They have no... There's no doctors, so they just... My... The year the old snag blowed away upon the hill, that's the year that I was born. My brother was born at tomato picking time, if you know when that was. Why... And so that--that was the count, and... That's awful to say that, but it's true. And... But that's the way it was. So I suppose I'm somewhere along there.
So then at that time... To the only way that I can justly say it, that--that God has sent some of us in the world, some to be teachers, and some different things. Don't you believe that? And--and some of us be musicians and different things.

L-21 And my coming into the world for the purpose, that I just found recently in the last five years, was to pray for sick people. Now, He told me that when He sent me... A supernatural Being... God in heaven is my Father and He'll bear record of what I say if it's the truth. God will always do that. He'll bear record of the truth.
Now, I could come here and tell you that God was in a certain-certain thing. Well, any man can say anything he wants to. But now, for a man to say anything is one thing, and then for God to--to verify that, it's something different. That--that's--that's different altogether.

L-22 And now, I... The only thing that He told me, if I'd pray for the sick people, and get them to believe me, be sincere when I pray, that no disease would stand before my prayer. Now, that's true.
Now, that doesn't mean that my prayer has anything to do with it; it's the people's faith. He's always had an object somewhere for people to look at or something or some... Look, the brass serpent... Why would He have that brass serpent there, as some...?... The woo--the water on the pool of Bethesda, why was that water? Why they's no virtue in it? It was just something for the people to do to step in.

L-23 Jesus went and spit on some mud and made a little cake and put it on a man's eyes. He didn't have to do that. Do you believe that?
He...?... another man's ears and spit and touched His tongue. And He had... He didn't have to do that. It was for some symbol. Is that right?
Naaman was suppose to dip seven times in the Jordan. Why, he didn't have to do that. It was just a symbol that the prophet give him to do, something to do. And God sends some of us forth to do certain things. And then we see that God has proved what He said He was to that person, and then God testifies the thing the person testified of. That makes it truth, and then we believe it and get well. See what I mean? And I was suppose to pray for sick people.
