<TITLE>15. Par 53-57</TITLE>L-53 I wish the sister on the organ, if she would or--just slowly play a chord, "Abide With Me" or something on that order, if you will, or Only Believe," would be all right.
Now, I'm going to ask you one thing, Christian friends, if you will do this for me. I want you to be just as quiet as you can. Be just as reverent as you can. As it written in the Scripture, "Be still and know that I am God." I want you just to be just as reverent. I won't keep you long. The managers is not here, but Mr. Sharritt, and my son, and them are here. They watch...

L-54 Now, if God does bring His Spirit down, the only thing... Let me get this superstition away from you. It's not that I am anything. I'm just a man like every one of you, just a sinner saved by grace. But it's just... God sent me that I had a way of emptying up myself, so that He could come in. And He will be with every one of you, if you'll just empty up yourself.
Now, empty up all the suspicions... Listen at the Scripture. If Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, He will reproduce that same life right here tonight. I'm just waiting till I can before those Mohammedans, and those Jews. In Africa, I made that statement, before nearly a hundred thousand people, and when God manifested Hisself, thirty thousand accepted Jesus as personal Saviour, in one altar call, thirty thousand raw heathens.

L-55 And they just taken the country. They have got healing campaigns all out through the... The perfect... Well, just idol worshippers, they just come in there packing little mud idol, sprinkled on with blood. I asked them to break those idols on the ground, just like a dust storm, when they broke the idols, like. Thirty thousand at one altar call...
Now, surely, we love God as much as those Hottentots do. Now, let's ask if... Now, I say this; now, He--He can hold--withhold Hisself and not come to me. If it is, I'll turn, take a text in the Scripture and go to preaching, or whatever He will let me do. But if He does, I will be very thankful. Let this audience know that.
And now, another thing that I have to say, so that you can tell them, if I am missing some night, you announce it before... (some of you ministers, that's speaking) I am not responsible for critics in the meeting. For be it assured, that if evil spirits move, they find a place to go to.

L-56 And you're well aware what happened here in Phoenix, over at the little church. I believe it was Brother Garcia's church or somewhere over there, one of those places, where that man sat there right... Well known man here in Phoenix, said, "It's nothing but psychology." and shook his head. Six weeks later, he happened to have... He--he just lost his mind completely. And--and his wife was... After they had drug me over the top, over at Santa Rosa, California. There he was sitting, the beard out all over his face, staring, going "Ah, ah." like that. Just remember, the same God still lives. And the same devil still lives too. So just be reverent. We're not playing church, and you'll find it and see.

L-57 Now, my boy, it's... (What was the prayer cards you give out? L's.) Now, the only way that we can do this legitimately, is to line people up, like Brother Roberts and the rest of them, just have prayer cards.
And the way we... We don't just pass the people through the line, just simply run them through the line. It's all right. But we have another way. I've got some--I've got something before you, here under consideration: the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
And I want you to know that any persons in this building without prayer cards, can be healed right now. You don't have to have a prayer card. Coming up here doesn't heal you. Just have faith and believe where you're at; watch what God will do.
