<TITLE>04. Par 16-20</TITLE>L-16 If we have to go to jail, it would be a good thing if it'd cause that, wouldn't it? We need some of those old fashion meetings again. Like Paul and Silas, I believe, they put in jail one night and... Down there, had cast out a little old evil spirit out of a fortuneteller and they put him down in jail. They just prayed till the jail fell down. That's pretty good, wasn't it?
Went on over... Ephesus and found a bunch of Baptist people over there, needing the Holy Ghost. And they got the Holy Ghost. They just had a real time. So that's... We wouldn't have to go to Ephesus to find that, would we? I believe we'd get it in Phoenix, don't you think so?
So you pray, and I'll pray, and we'll just do the best we can this week for the glory of God.

L-17 Brother told me last night, as I called him... Usually in the meetings, it's... we give out... Mr. Baxter or Mr. Bosworth or some of them that's managers, they do the preaching in the services when I'm... Most of our services has always been healing services. So we...
Mr. Baxter's in Canada at the time. Mr. Bosworth's in Florida. And they're preparing for overseas and so forth. My--my co-worker, Mr. William Paul Branham, my boy, we're together, traveling together in just evangelistic work. So the Lord hasn't called him to preach yet, so his--his father has to do the best he can in these meetings. So to have the service...

L-18 So we told the brethren, as we set these meetings up, to fix them just under, well, just evangelistic services. Which... Got by that in a service a time or two, and just have preaching services on every afternoon at two o'clock.
And then every evening at seven-thirty or eight, why, we come down and--and preach the Gospel and just have a congregational prayer for the people when the--from the sick, 'cause they would come in. Calling sinners to repentance and people without the Holy Spirit to come and be borned-again, and we found that pretty successful around the parts of the country. And then when we got down to our last meeting in Wood River, made the altar call that night, and people just piled around the altar, but when I went to went out, there was about, oh, I guess, three hundred or four at the altar seeking salvation. Then when I went out there was fifteen hundred or more standing in line to be prayed for.

L-19 So we had to change it there, so we fixed it up then and let the pastors, the cooperating ministers, take turns about in having the afternoon services. And--and the night services, they got the preliminaries ready. And I come down and spoke awhile, and then had the prayer lines for the sick.
Most every one knows that the caliber of the meetings; it's--it's by vision. And the visions are... It's a little different than what... just simply preaching, and then going ahead and having congregational prayer. It's breaking into another realm by a Divine gift.
And I--I have to keep myself more like I don't want to be, but more like an isolationist, away from people, and stay to myself, and pray, and cease eating, and come into the building under the anointing of that, speak just a few moments and call the line. And I'm...

L-20 That is something that's been part of my ministry. 'Course, I realize there's nothing that would heal a person. 'Cause there's nothing in any man that would heal another. See? It's all... Every person in the world is already healed. There's not one but what's already healed. There's not a sinner in the world but what's already saved.
Jesus Christ, when He died at Calvary, He paid the price right there. That's right. Now, the only thing we have to do is to look there and accept it (See?), accept it.
Now, you say, "Well, I got saved two years ago." No. You got saved nineteen hundred years ago; you just accepted it two years ago. See? He settled the question when He died.
