<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>54-0328, Sirs, We Would See Jesus, The Church Of The Open Door, Louisville, KY, no tape
L-1 ...You Christian friends, want to greet you tonight in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Beginning of this revival, I trust that it'll be a great blessing to all who are here, and those who will be coming in farther in the services. Each evening we want to begin at just as close as we can to... Need to be here around quarter after to half past eight. That was my thought today to get over; and I was just a little late. I drove my own car, and I got mixed up in some traffic down there, and it held me up just a little bit. So I... Sorry to be a little late. And they were standing out waiting for me when I come up: my boy was.
And so now tonight as we are gathered here to start this prayer meeting: praying for the sick, believing God for the supernatural; I trust that every person here will take it upon themselves to be under prayer all the time. In your homes be fasting and praying. Come with great expectation. For if you don't expect anything, you won't receive anything. You'll just receive as you expect.

L-2 Now, in this city tonight I think there's two or three more revivals going on, of healing services. We're not here to be competitors to those brethren. We're only here to do our part. And we're believing God and asking to help all the sick and afflicted everywhere where people are praying for the sick, in every church and every denomination. We believe that God will hear the prayer of any sincere person that will believe.
Now, I am not, by no means, a Divine healer. I believe in my other meeting here in Louisville, and many times being here with our dear Brother Cauble, and the church, I've never at one time said I was a Divine healer. Which if I did, that would be wrong, because I am not. And there's no other man that's a Divine healer. We're just ministers of the Gospel, to preach, to pray for the sick. God is the Divine Healer. And all that God can do for you, He did it in Jesus Christ. Your work of redemption for soul and body is completed. Even to your rapture, is already completed. When Jesus rose from the dead, God justified, justifies us by faith, believing that, that God rose Him up from the dead; and we are waiting for the rapture which will come. Everything will happen in its season. And our salvation, our healing, and everything was completed when Jesus Christ died at Calvary.

L-3 Now, in here we have many times that we... In the meetings, we have a--a system of giving prayer cards. Well, we wish there was some other way that we had of controlling without having to give out prayer card, but it's the only legitimate way that you can keep the people in line, lined up. We have tried many ways, and I never did like the way before we had prayer cards to give out: of the people clamoring, and some of them crying and jumping over one another, and pushing and shoving through the line. It doesn't seem like Christianity. I think Christianity is orderly. And Paul come to set the church in order and all things to be done decent and in order. And I believe God honors it more when we keep it orderly and under the power of the Holy Spirit to be the Leader of the church and of the people.
