L-1 Good evening, friends. Very happy to be here tonight in the service of our Lord to represent His Son Jesus Christ to you. The way that He... His death at Calvary, His atonement for you, for the healing of your body, salvation of your soul, for joy, happiness...

L-2 I believe it's written in the Scripture, one of the writers said that, "Above all things, I would that you'd prosper in health." And now, I pray that God will let every sick person in here tonight be well. I'm sure it's the will of God, that all of you would be well. He wants you to be well; if you and I can only have faith. If we just sometimes wonder what that great article faith, what is it? You know to my surprise, and I say this with reverence in heart, fearing 'less I would say something wrong. I find that about eighty percent of the people that say they believe possess hope instead of faith. Faith is just so sure. It's positive. It never moves. It's just got to be.

L-3 Faith is an element. It's a sense. It's the sixth sense of the human body of the... It's the one sense... The human soul has two senses. For every man has five senses control the human body: see, taste, feel, smell, hear. And the inward man has two senses, that's faith, unbelief. One of them governs.
We come to a place till I--I'm wondering spiritually about this. That if we really when... If we're not bringing the borderline too close. Don't you think so? Borderline Christians, do you believe there is such? There is. They're afraid to launch out into the deep: borderline. Just as long as you can walk...

L-4 Recently when coming from Africa, I... While I was down there... I haven't time now to tell you. But the Lord told me to go a certain place and do a certain thing. And the--and the management of the itinerary we had set, was altogether contrary, and the men didn't understand. They just wouldn't let me do it. I said, "All right. Look, we'll suffer."
So I went and prayed again; He gave me permission, and told me, I'd suffer over it. I did. The whole party did. I suffered worse. Was a parasite, and we found out later, if we'd went and done what the Lord told us to do, there'd have probably two hundred thousand souls saved in the meeting...?... more.

L-5 Mr. Jackson, which is here at the meeting somewhere, from South Africa, knows all about it. When I tore off, off of a tree... Stood up before the ministerial international group, and said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, we--we shall not go that way. If we do, we'll suffer. It's not right to go that way. We should go from here, Johannesburg, straight to Durban." They couldn't understand it, of course. But I went in, then after... I'll just give you the detail of it. It won't take but just a moment or two, maybe, ten, fifteen minutes.
When we landed at Johannesburg, I didn't know very much about South Africa. My wife setting here will probably have to laugh at this, when I told her, I said, "You write me, honey, Johannesburg, Southern Rhodesia. Johannesburg..." I mean, beg your pardon, "Durban, Southern Rhodesia." Durban's not in Rhodesia. It would be like writing for Zion, Canada. See? It's a--it's another nation. Rhodesia is another nation. South Africa is where Durban is, but I didn't know. The Lord sent me to Durban, because that's where Miss Florence Nightingale was healed. She went back, and I promised the Lord that I would go. And that's where I thought I was going.
