<TITLE>03. Par 7-8</TITLE>L-7 Now, I want to read some out of Second Kings. Who likes to hear the old fashion Sassafras, corn bread and beans type of preaching? You like it? Just the old fashion kind? Well now, I'm not very much of a preacher, but I just... I like it the old fashioned way. That's the only way I know it. It saved me, and I tell you, it'll be good for you. It'll save you. It won't polish you very much, but... It won't white-wash you but, It'll wash you white if you--if you... Yes, sir. I believe in one of those old fashion back-woods, sky-blue, sin-killing religion. And that's right. I believe it makes us all one in Christ Jesus. It makes a--a silk dress and a calico put their arms around one another, call one another "sister." It'll make a tuxedo suit and overalls hug one another and call "Brother." And that's right. It'll make us all the same. So it saved John Wesley, and Dwight Moody, and Sankey, and Finney, and Knox, and Paul, and Peter, and James, and John and all... Well--It'll--It's good enough for me. That's--that's all.

L-8 Now, over in Second Kings the 3rd chapter, beginning with the 10th verse, to read just a few portions of Scripture here, or verses, rather. And we'll get right to the healing line as quick as possible. Or, not the healing line; the healing line is at Calvary. We'll get the praying for the sick.
This was a great day in the days of Israel, just at a time of decision about like we stand today; a broken up, un--discontented, bunch of people. Listen:
And the king of Israel said un--, Alas! ... the LORD has called these ... kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on Elijah's hands.
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee unto thy prophets and to thy fathers, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hands of Moab.
And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, if it wasn't that I regarded the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards thee, nor see thee.
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel begin to play, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make these valleys full of ditches.
And thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet the valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will destroy--deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
And you shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and fell every good tree, stop up all the wells of water, mar every good piece of s--gra--land with a stone.
And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, ... behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
