<TITLE>10. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 By the way, (she isn't here) my wife was on the platform in Phoenix, Arizona, the other night for (and we've lived together for eleven years now), and the first time she ever stood when the anointing was on me. She couldn't open her mouth; she just stood there. And people would say... I'd say something to her; she just there. Her eyes looked real funny, and the babies... she... about two little, one little girl eight and the other one three, yesterday. And we--and they just stood there. They couldn't say a word, walked off the platform crying. And I hadn't noticed it, I... They called them. She's very bashful (you that know her). And so, she wouldn't come to the platform as we just said. And Billy Paul back there, my boy, he said, why, after I'd done begin praying and stopped preaching, and the anointing had struck me, I said... Billy said, "Mother had... She promised to come to the platform," (and she had the children dressed in their best and so they was sitting down there, you know, to come to the platform). And I--we got them up there. And when she did, she just stood there. And she said--she said (going home), she said, "Honey, I--I wouldn't, couldn't... Don't ask me up there like that again." You see, you just don't realize. See?

L-37 There is a anointing, a personal... Now, there is such a thing as maybe, you know, like one time there was... Wasn't Moses made fun of by his sister and his brother one time because he married a colored girl, Ethiopian girl? And didn't they make fun? And God happened to be present and heard it. Was that right? He just was present and heard it. That's right. And when He did, He said, "Bring them in here." Said, "Don't you fear God? Knowing, see what I've done for that man and showed him the favors." He said, "If there be one who's spiritual or a prophet among you, I the Lord will make Myself known unto him in visions and so forth. But for My servant Moses, not so." He said, "I speak lip to ear with him." He said, "Don't you fear God, seeing that I've chosen this man?" And Miriam was broke out with leprosy. And that's right. And--and there... She had to stay out of the camp seven days, and Moses fell on his face and prayed for her.
Now, that's right. There is anointing. That's true. But men isn't healers. God is the Healer. That's right. They only can you explain it, or pray, or join their prayers with you. But healing is--comes by faith in hearing the Word of God.

L-38 Now, Abraham, when he was called out of Chaldea, the city of Ur... Who was Abraham? Just a man walking out there one day. Oh, I just love that. That just makes me feel good, when I think He... God's voice spoke to him and said, "Abraham, separate yourself from your people." Isn't it strange that God makes us separate ourselves? Today the world wants mixers, is that right? But God wants separators. Yeah, the world says, "Oh, well, we don't want that old pastor. He's an old fogy. He don't believe in letting us do this, that, or the other. We want a young fellow, who--who's a mixer." But God wants separators. Separate yourself. The Holy Spirit said, "Separate Me, Paul and Barnabas."
Separation... And God called Abraham and separated him. Now, the only thing that he had to believe was God's Word. Faith cometh by hearing. All reason and sense knowledge had to pass away and he had to depend exactly on what "THUS SAITH THE LORD."
Look. Abraham was seventy-five; Sarah was sixty-five. He said, "Abraham..." He was going to give him a child by Sarah. Now, Abraham couldn't say, "Now, let me see now. If there could be such a way, let me go down and ask the doctor if Sarah could renew her strength," and so forth like that. Why, he couldn't reason it out. But he based his faith on "THUS SAITH THE LORD."
