<TITLE>04. Par 11-14</TITLE>L-11 Now, I couldn't do that (See?), because I'm not Brother Roberts. See? Now, I like that real, hold-on faith that he's got. Brother Jaggers, and many of them, Brother Freeman, Fleaman, Freeman, I believe it is, and many of those others has got that real gripping faith. I call that, "gifts of healing." They believe what they're talking about. They lay... They look out here and read it in the Word: Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and say, "Come up here. I challenge it right now, and I'm ready to go after it." I like that.
I pray for them brothers all the time. "God, just send them and go on. Just run out every evil spirit in the country, if we can." That's the way to do it. Sure.

L-12 Now, I like that. And I appreciate those brothers' real, predominating, over-jumping faith. You see? They just challenge anything, grab a hold of it and hold on to it. I like that. I was a different person. I guess I just kind of slow. And I kind of watch where I put me feet, kind of particular of where I'm walking. And, oh, I don't know, funny kind of a guy, I guess.
Now, that goes all right in some parts of the country, some it doesn't. But I--I guess I could say a gift of healing, 'cause I believe anybody that has faith in healing has the gift of healing. Because every gift is operated by faith. Is that right? That's all you can have, is faith to believe it.

L-13 And now, there's no one, Brother Jaggers, Brother Roberts, or myself, or no one else, that can heal another person. There's none of us claim to. We don't heal people. We only try to get them to look to the Man that's already healed them: Jesus Christ, and get them to accept it by faith, and that settles it.
When He... When Jesus healed them back there... I believe that every sick person was healed when Jesus died at Calvary. I believe I can prove that by the Bible. That by His stripes, we were (past time, tense,), we were healed. And every sinner in the world was forgiven when Jesus died at Calvary. But it'll never do you any good until you accept it. See? You've got to accept it, then it becomes your personal property. Then you could get down here at the altar; you wouldn't necessarily have to come, but I believe in altars. Get down at the altar, you could cry; you could pray; you could walk up and down the altar; you could pull your hair, and--and just go on, but that ain't what saves you. Now, I believe in all of that. Yes, sir. But that isn't what saves you. You'll never be saved, until you believe. Is that right?

L-14 You have to believe. And when you really believe it, no matter if you're at the altar, out in the street, or wherever it is, when you believe it and accept it, then it becomes your personal property, a gift of God by grace. And you couldn't have any idea of getting right with God, until first He drawed you. So it's comes by election then, isn't it? And everybody here that's ever heard God knock at their heart's door, ought to be the happiest person in the world. Certainly. 'Cause there's some people, He will never knock at their heart. He--He would, but He, in order to be God, He knowed the end from the beginning. He's not willing that any should perish. Well, you say, "Preacher, how do you preach the Gospel then? How do you know?" I don't know who they are.
