<TITLE>03. Par 6-8</TITLE>L-6 Now, in the meetings, many, many, many times things are said and done, so forth, that we can't heal no one; we know that. We don't claim to heal anyone; we only claim to pray for the sick; God does the healing. A ministry that the Lord has given me; it's a little, kinda little bit different from some of the minister's ministry, but God gives severally as He will. You believe that? Just as He will, that's what He--He does.
And so we know that He is, and a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Is that right? Now, I want to read just a little Scripture, and we'll go right straight into the service. I believe God's going to give us a great service tonight. I was just praying with my boy, and Reverend Ford come up to get me, that God would do something special for us tonight and would bless the people. Usually the last night there's more healed than there is in any of other nights, is because that great pressure, pull and--and wanting to get into the line.

L-7 Now, it doesn't heal anyone, but I've asked God tonight to do something that's special, to heal people all the way around over the building, all the way around the building. I want Him to do it. Now, I know He's going to do it. I have never for His will, any of my life, ever got down and really prayed sincerely, but what He answered. I've never done it.
Now, sometimes if I thought something that wasn't right, and maybe I was some selfish something I prayed, it wouldn't do me any good. Because if my prayer would just come back, and I would have no faith, even in the beginning it would be answered. But just trying to break through. But you can't pull nothing from God that's not right; it's got to be right.

L-8 Now, I wish to read some Scripture in two places in the blessed Word of God. If you'd like to read them with me, or follow me, turn to Saint Matthew the 4th chapter, beginning with the 23rd verse. And then, turn over to, if you will, in Saint Luke the 1st chapter and beginning with the, I beg your pardon, the 2nd chapter with the 25th verse. And I want to read two portions. One of these is the starting of the ministry; the other is at His death, or not of His death, at His birth, rather, pardon me. Now, in Saint Matthew the--the 4th chapter, the 23rd verse, Jesus just beginning His ministry:
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues... preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness... all manner of diseases among the people.
And His fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto Him all the sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those which had the palsy; and He healed them.
And there followed Him great multitudes of people from Galilee... and--and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
And then over in the 2nd chapter of Saint Luke we read this, beginning with the 25th verse:
 ... behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought the child Jesus, to do for Him after the customs of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Lord, now let... thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
For my eyes have seen thy salvation.
