<TITLE>09. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 Then He sent, first He sent prophets, teachers, evangelists, and... Is that right? Gifts of tongues, interpretation, it's all for the edifying of the church. Is that right? All for to edify the church, God has set them in the church. Who has? Not because somebody laid hands on you, but because God has, not man has. God has set in church. He give...
All right, bring the lady. Now, these people coming are perfect strangers. And now, I want you, everyone tonight to do this for me, 'cause I just have... See, I'm waiting a call to Africa, and that might be any time. And I don't know just how many nights my--we can stay at any place, 'cause it--He might... My life is given to Him. He could call me in ten minutes from now, and send me to Australia; I'd take out (See?), just where it's at.

L-28 And while we're here, I want you to get all the superstitions away from you, settle everything down, and make yourself subject to the Holy Spirit, that God can move through you, and you'll get the benefit of God's blessings for you. That's what I've come to you. I've moved down like this and saying, "Now, God, You help me. And let the people all believe and so I can minister to them. And when I leave the city, the glory of God will be everywhere, and the people will be praising our dear Lord Jesus, Whom we dearly love with all of our heart and working for His vineyard.
Now, in the Divine Spirit, providence of God is this--the gift of seeing and foreknowing, and knowing what was, and what will be, that's nothing to heal; it's only to edify Jesus Christ to bring His Word back, saying, "The things that I did, shall you also," (See?) what the Father would show.

L-29 Now, I believe this lady standing here... I--I do not know you, do I, lady? I've never seen as far I know of. We're perfect strangers, never seen you in my life. Then, well, if I don't know you and probably you raised hundreds and hundreds of miles down here, probably, then it's... And then when come down here to--to talk to you, why, me raised up in Indiana, probably you down in Florida. Well, then when we come together to talk to one another, we've been miles apart, but God's knowed you since before you were born. He's knowed me since before I was born.
And now, I--I believe you're a Christian; I--I... Because your spirit seems to be welcome (You see?) it just... When a--when a Christian comes, there's just something that's just says welcome. You see? And I--I get that right away. It's a Holy Spirit. But now, if me knowing nothing of you, and miles apart all of our life, the Holy Spirit would have to--would do something that would make you know that the Presence of His Being is here, then it'd make you have more confidence that I told the truth.

L-30 I want you to get close... I just... 'Course you know what I'm doing now; I'm just contacting your spirit. See? But I--I... In talking to you, I want you to believe this (See?), that God knows all things, and what it's trying to do, is to get you in condition to receive Him as your Healer (See, see?), just something stimulate the faith that's--that's in you. For 'cause being a Christian, it's there, but it may be laying dormant. See? And now, just to talk to you for a few moments to kindly... Being the first patient, it's always just a... I would like first to take time to the patient, till I know that His Presence there, then I just praying for the people, because they'll--if they'll halfway believe, they'll get a blessing (You see?), if they--they'll just believe it.
But the Angel of the Lord that Brother Baxter was telling about tonight, in His Presence now, if--if He be standing near here, then He will--He knows you, and He knows me. And then if there's something wrong with you, some sickness, then that absolutely... You listened to the afternoon services and so forth. That is a demon. All sickness is of the devil. You can't pin that on God. See? It's of the devil.
