<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 I said, "I'm thinking of a great Magnet setting yonder in the heavens at the right hand of God Almighty. And someday God's going to let Him come, and all those who are magnetized to His Spirit will go up in the air to meet Him, to...?... these old bodies to be made over again yonder in God's fashion."
What a marvelous time that'll be when we're made into His image and His likeness. Jesus shall come someday. We'll all be happy for that day, won't we?
The Gospel has been preached tonight. I want to read some Scripture.
First, I want to--to thank the lady that sent the offering by my son to me, a ten dollar offering in a little envelope. Thank you very much, sister, and she said she wouldn't be here for the love offering and so she wanted to give that to me. It's not our purpose to ask for money in the meetings like that. We don't do it.

L-5 Another lady sent another offering in an envelope by Brother Baxter. I believe it's part half his and half to be mine to go into our love offerings. I know Mr. Baxter greatly appreciates that. So do I, and I--I always pray over the money that's given to me, because it's given to me by people who work and live and just like I do, and I--I certainly appreciate it, and I prayed over that too and for God would bless you and help you.
And now, I want to make announcements for tomorrow night. Tomorrow night we're going, if it be the will of the Lord... There's so many people I'm getting letters, that in America, Bishop I have a...
I've been through America so much; they have seen the phenomenal side of the--of the great inspiration and prophetic utterance, until many people they--they believe it. It was only a sign to have the people to believe. If you'll read the book right, you'll see that it was the... He said, "I questioned my ability," and He said, "there would be given me signs that I was sent to pray for sick people."

L-6 Well now, I wasn't supposed to do the signs to every sick person. When Moses was given signs and sent to Egypt, every time he met a Hebrew, he didn't say, "Look here. I healed my hand with leprosy. See this stick, I'll--I'll make it turn to a serpent." He just did it once. That settled it.
Then... But today I get so many letters that they come to the meetings and cannot get into the place to be prayed for. Said a few gets on the line and usually sometimes if we watch each one and stand and talk till our heavenly Father shows something concerning them, then it is that--that I do not get to very many.
Depends on what kind of faith is at the platform, and then we have to line them up with prayer cards, 'cause there's many people here that's to be prayed for, hundreds of them, and we can't say who's first, who's last. We just give out the prayer cards and call them up to the platform, let them line up.

L-7 Now, it is true that many people believe that the--that if they don't get prayed for, that they're--they're individually prayed for that they're not subject to healing.
No, friend, prayer is what God told us to do. That's right. But Brother Osborn, healing lays in Calvary, doesn't it? Brother Tommy Osborn here in the audience with us tonight who's been one of the most successful men on the field. I don't say it to him standing here, you know it. He's been my beloved brother, because he's kept the Gospel clean and straight. Every one of us ought to appreciate that and no fanaticism, nothing back behind it, just purely straight Gospel.
He said to me sometime ago; I was asking him if he's tired. He said, "No." The only thing he does is go out and preach the Gospel and lay it to the people so closely, that Satan can't move, and they just reach up, accept their healing, get up and walk away. That's all of it. See? Now, that's--that's the way we should do, but even if we do doubt then of the Gospel, God sends signs and wonders among the people for the Gospel's sake.
