<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 But when Elijah come, the only thing he done was just lay his body upon the baby, and God give it its life back. Is that right? God was in His servant, and He had... That's what the woman believed and that's just what had to happen.
I see them coming to the platform when I call the prayer line. I start to pass them by, and the first thing you know, why, I--I could tell they don't want that; they want me to prayed for, lay my hands on them, or something. That's... And it--it won't be until they--that happens, that's just the way they--they're looking for it.

L-9 One woman, one person in the Bible... Jairus said, "Come, lay Your hands on my daughter." Well, that was Jesus' hand.
But a Roman said, "I'm not worthy that You come under my house, just speak the Word." See? It just depends on which way you believe, that's what it'll be.
Now, if I would called this a little text to talk to you tonight, I'm going speak on: "God's Provided Way." Now, reading of this text will be of Elijah, this great prophet of God. And then, about how that we're to call the sick, and... When the sick... Or call the elders, rather, and anoint the sick with oil and pray over them. The prayer of faith shall save the sick. And he said, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man."

L-10 Now, a righteous man is not a sinless man. For you notice he said, "Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are." He had his ups-and-downs and his differences. And the Scripture of his life proves that he had his ups-and-downs like we do. And he had his times of wondering and his times that his temper got away from him, and he had a lot of things, that went wrong. But he was still a righteous man, because he confessed his unworthiness and believed in God. So that's what made him righteous.
We're not righteous within ourselves; we're righteous through Jesus Christ. I cannot be sanctified within myself; I am sanctified through Jesus Christ Who stands in the--in the Presence of God in my place. It isn't my holiness; it's His holiness. My holiness won't work at all, but His does. Because God done accepted Him. And in accepting Him He had to accept me, because I'm in Him. Amen. That's what makes it real isn't it. Then we don't have to depend on ourself.
Now, that doesn't make us say we can sin. Brother, if you sin, you're just--you're just away from God. That's all. There's only one thing to do, is confess it and get right with God. As long as you desire to sin, the desire of sin's still in your heart, then it's time to stay down at the altar till that thing's taken out.
Now you will sin. You're bound to sin 'cause you just can't help it, but not willful sin. "He that sins willfully after he receive the knowledge of the truth (See?), there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin." But every day you're bound to sin.

L-11 And you're bound to be backsliding constantly, so it takes a constant prayer to God. Paul said, "I die daily." And if Paul had to die daily, how much more am I going--I'm going to have to stay there dead all the time, if--if Paul had to die daily to stay right with God. And so, we'll all have to do that, just die out to ourself. And that's getting God's way.
Now, there's only two ways of anything: That's the right way and the wrong way. And them ways are your ways and God's way. And you can't be in your way and God's way at the same time. You've got to forget your own way to get in God's way. And you got to get out of your own way to get in God's way. For as long as you're in your own way, you're out of His way. So forsake your way, forsake your thoughts, forsake everything, and just rely one thing, on THUS SAITH THE LORD. That's all. Then you know you're right.
