<TITLE>14. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 What number of card did you...? [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] My ministry's not like some of the brothers who goes and lays his hands on the sick, and everybody prays for each individual. I... My ministry just... Perhaps after I return from Africa and overseas this time, I may never have no more... It's leaning that way very strong towards me, in America, to leave off healing services; just congregational prayer (See?), and have evangelistic services: like come set up a big tent. I just got one in order the other day, seats fifteen thousand people: chairs and everything. Like to set it out here in Louisville and stay for three months. See? And just stay till God says it's enough, it's over. See?
And now, and just preach the Gospel, 'cause I've been across America time after time after time after ways, been everywhere in the meetings around; and the Lord has confirmed till all--every state in the Union, Canada and Mexico knows all about it. See?
So now, and just when I preach the Gospel now of salvation for a while, maybe have a healing service once or twice a week, like Wednesday and Sunday or something, but otherwise...

L-54 Now, the ministry that the Lord has given me is to see visions. How many believes that He said, "In the last days He'd pour our His Spirit upon all flesh and your young men would see visions"? Let's see... and just... He promised it. And they would prophesy, foretell. And now watch, He said, "When He (now, no disregarding to you, my Christian Science people: 'The Holy Spirit is a thought.' 'He' is a personal pronoun.) "When He the Holy Ghost has come, He will teach you those things--or bring these things to your remembrance which I have taught unto you, and will show you things to come." Is that right? The Holy Spirit. You couldn't believe in the Holy Spirit and disbelieve in visions. You couldn't, because it's the very work of the Holy Spirit.

L-55 Now, when our Lord Jesus was here on earth... Just a moment now. When He was here on earth, the only things that He did--only miracles, only signs that He did, was when God gave Him a vision and showed Him what to do. That right? Saint John 5:19, He said, when He passed through all those crippled people, and blind, withered, and halt, didn't heal any, and healed a man laying over here with prostate trouble, or diabetes, or something. And they questioned Him. Why, He said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself; but what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son; for the Father worketh..." In other words, let me put it in our words here: "The only thing He says that I can do is what I see by vision My Father doing. Then I go act it out in drama in obedience to My Father. I do just as My Father has bid Me to do. He tells Me there's somebody down here on the road that's sick. He told Me Lazarus was going to die, to leave the country and be gone three days. After three days, Lazarus would die. And then I'd be on My road back and would get there on the fourth day and for Me to go to the grave and to raise him up" That's exactly what He done.

L-56 He went right away. When Lazarus got sick, they sent... He ... Then after the third day, He said, "Lazarus sleepeth. He's dead. Now, for your sake, I'm glad I wasn't there, but I go wake him."
Went down to the grave and said, 'Father, I thank Thee Thou as all--but for these who stands by I said it, 'Lazarus, come forth.'" And a man had been dead four days, skin worms done eaten into his body, corruption knew its master. And the spirit knew its Creator. And a man had been dead four days, stood on his feet and lived again, went to a banquet dinner with them. That's right. That was my Lord Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
