<TITLE>05. Par 23-27</TITLE>L-23 Looked at her like that. Her old dark eyes looked up to me like that. She kind of smiled, reached around and got a hold of one cane, and the other one, each one of them sticks, and handed them over to me, and straightened up, and went walking off the platform like that: no prayer at all, no prayer at all, just believed.
And brother, you talk about a prayer line. Along about three or four o'clock that morning, I done quit talking about discernment, just letting them come through and laying hands on them. I seen them coming through; they was wet way up around like this. And I said, "Well, what's the matter?"

L-24 The little Gila River runs through there, and he said, "Well, they--they thought first it wasn't right." Said, "Now, there's a ford about--about twenty miles down here," but said, "they've went out into the deserts, and getting their loved ones, and packing them through that water."
And here they had... didn't have no stretchers, just like it is in the foreign fields, they had... Here--here come an old man... This is good. I tell you this before we close.
They had a board with a stick across the--the back of it, and a stick across this lay, and an old man laying there with his hands wrapped over this stick, and his legs laying over this other stick that way, and they was making it like a stretcher, laying on this board.

L-25 An old fellow, real old, and he was laying there with a palsy, shaking like that, you know. And they--there was a big fellow standing there, great, big, burly looking Indian, and just shivering like that, and his lips real blue, cold, wet way up like this. In that desert it gets cold of a morning.
And I said, "Aren't you afraid? Do you speak English?"
He said, "Leetle."
And I said, "Aren't you afraid you'll take pneumonia?"
"Nope." Said, "Jesus Christ just take care of me. I bring my dad."
I said, "Um." I said, "Do you believe Jesus Christ will make your dad well?"
"Sure."

L-26 I said, "Pass him by." I said, "Dear God, this man's come by faith. In the Name of Jesus Christ according to Your Word, I lay hands upon him."
I said, "Bring the next one." They started on by. I heard somebody screaming and hollering. I looked; the old man had the board on his own shoulder waving it at everybody, going along down through there packing his own board, going out. Just simple childlike faith, that's all.
Now, the Indians when they see this power of God moving, or down in Africa, over in the islands, they don't question it. We who's got all the scholarships, we're the ones who question it. We know it all, you see? We've got it all explained out. We know just what it is, what Doctor So-and-so said, and Doctor So-and-so said. But listen. God wants us to believe His Word just like It's written there.
"Whosoever shall add to or take away, the same shall be taken out of--his part of the Book of Life." See? So let's just believe It the way It's written.

L-27 Jesus said, after He was risen from the dead, He said, when He ris... or... He said this, "The things that I do, shall you do also." That would be a mark of the people, believers. And we seen what He done.
Then He said, "I'll be with you, even to the end of the world." And the last commiss--first commission He ever give to mankind when He was here on earth... You know what it was? Matthew 10: "Heal the sick, cleanse the leper, raise the dead, cast out devils. Freely as you receive, freely give."
Is that right? First commission... The last commission: "Go ye into all the world, preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned, and these (plural) signs (plural) shall follow them (plural) that believe." Is that right?
