<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 A minister, your pastor, could read it here in the Scripture. If you'd believe it, that's all it takes. Main thing is, your personal faith is His merits of salvation for your soul or healing for your body. The prophet said, "He was wounded for our transgression; with His stripes we were healed."
And now, "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word of God." First you have to hear. And where it comes from, the resource it comes from, then you base your faith upon that, and that--according to your faith, then it's done for you.
And now, that has been the order of the church for many, many years. Nineteen hundred years, this blessful thing has been taught in all Christian churches: praying for the sick. The early apostolic church prayed for the sick. All down through the age and to the dark age, they prayed for the sick. In the reformation, Luther, they prayed for the sick. In the days of Wesley, they prayed for the sick. Calvin, Knox, Moody, Sankey, all along, we've prayed for the sick.

L-6 It is to my humble belief, that we're living near the end time. Or may I make it a little more personal than that, saying: we're living in the end time. And if... I believe it's time for restoration of the church that was promised that God would send in the last day. And I believe that this is the day that when the Word has been preached so much, and the day's getting so dark and so evil, till according to God's Word, He was to restore all that the caterpillar had eaten, the palmerworm had eaten, will be restored back again. And this is the day of the restoration of the spiritual gifts given into the church.
Now, along in that, we're bound to find false things. Satan is--is a shrewd person, and he works day and night in the children of disobedience. He can impersonate, but a true Spirit of God will always give honor and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, in this, ye are... I've been commissioned to pray for the sick. You've seen in magazines, and articles, around the world. Through there has started a revival on Divine healing, all around everywhere. We're thankful for that. And I pray that it'll just continue, and God be blessed until Jesus comes.

L-7 Now, I want to read the Scripture out of the Bible. I think no service is complete without reading His Word. My words is a man's word; they'll fail. But God's Word will never fail. So then in Saint John the 4th--the 4th chapter, we begin with the 14th verse. Let's read what the Person of Jesus was here. He's speaking now. He has an audience with a woman, a sinful woman, at the well. And they're talking about a discourse of water.
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give unto him shall never thirst; but the waters that I... give unto him shall be in him... wells of water springing up into everlasting life.
The woman said unto Him, Sir, give me this water that I thirst not neither come hither to draw.
Jesus said unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou has well said I have no husband:
For thou who--For thou has had five husbands; and he whom thou hast now is not thy husband;... thou saidst well.
The woman said unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
In Hebrew 13:8, it's written,
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to day, and forever.
