<TITLE>14. Par 49-51</TITLE>L-49 I can think of one time in Jesus day, when there was a man who probably heard down there Jesus could make a man with palsy stop shaking. Why, some fellows went out there and got him, picked him up and put him on a cot, got over to somebody's house, over there where He was having a little healing service. And why, they couldn't even get around the door. There was probably many people as here (maybe one of them little huts that they had there in Palestine) standing around, how could he get in? But brother, he said, "Take me up on the roof." And they tore the roof up.
And when Jesus, standing there, and dirt begin to fall around, I guess He wondered, "What's taking place up there?" First thing, they ripped off a bunch of shingles. You imagine, to put a man down through it and a cot, quite a hole in the house. But they had one thing, one thing in mind: get that man to Jesus, and something would take place. And brother, sister, when we have that kind of faith, one thing in mind: get the patient to Jesus, things will take place. That's it. That's the idea...
And they ripped open the roof, and here come a cot down, a man shaking. He said, "Thy sins are forgiven thee, son. Take up your bed and go on." Away he went. See? When God is... Faith cometh by hearing. Somebody told him that--that Jesus could do that, and they believed it. And they got the man to Jesus, and faith took a hold.
Now, Jesus can do the same thing for every person here tonight. See? The only thing is get to Jesus. Get your superstitions away. Get all the spooks away from you and say, "Lord, I'm here at you. I believe it and I'm taking Your Word right now." And that settles it. Something's going to take place. Yes sir.

L-50 And I can see a woman one day, setting up there doing her knitting. She'd spent all of her money with the doctors, and years that she'd had a blood issue and nothing could stop it. And the first thing you know, she heard that Jesus... The little, old boat pushing into the willows down there, and away she went. I can see the man standing there, the priest of the temple saying, "Now, looky here, sister. If you fool with that fanatic, when your doctor has told you nothing else can be done, that settles it. Now, the days of miracles is past. That guy is nothing else but just a... He's Beelzebub. He's a fortuneteller. And here you are running to such a thing as that. Now, you know, we'll have to put you out of the church." She just pressed right on by.
She wanted to get to Jesus. Her faith was--if she could hear Him say one word, or whatever, even if she could touch His garment, she was going to get well. So right down through there she went. And she come down there and she touched Him, and moved back like that.
And you know, Jesus knows when things take place. I can see Him stop, look around over His audience. Something had touched Him. He looked around, said, "You." He still does it. Is that right? He still does it. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He looked around, over His audience, and said, "You. Why, you're faith healed you. Your faith has saved you from that blood issue." Oh, my. Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word, the Word of God, how marvelous.

L-51 I can imagine little Moses, when he was down there, brought up... Although they had took him over there in the Egyptian palace, by the Pharaohs, and all the scholars, and the art, and everything... And they were real physicians. You all know that; the Egyptians. Some of their things yet, is never compared with in our modern day of science. They still can't find things like those Egyptians had. And they--they couldn't understand it.
