<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>54-0619, Prayer Line, Unknown, Des Moines, IA, no tape
L-1 ... the whole Scripture there. Christ wasn't smitten twice; He's smitten once. So he took that rod and went down there and smote the Rock: it didn't bring water. And he smote it again and said, "You rebels, must we fetch water for you out of this rock?" But God dealt with Moses later. Is that right? He was kept out of the promised land for that one thing.
There's a little preacher one time, a prophet, who had a double portion: Elijah. He went bald headed when he was a young man. Some little children running behind him, teasing him, said, "Bald head, bald head..." And he turned around and put a curse on those children in the Name of the Lord. And two she bears killed forty-two little children. Is that Scripture? Now, that wasn't the Holy Spirit; the nature of God wouldn't wanted that. See?

L-2 But you have to watch what you're doing. So that's the reason I watch every case to be sure. Now, to know if there's sin in that life, I'd better be careful. But He never told me to do that now. He told me; He said, "Now, the first thing..." How many remembered when I first started out, when I took the people by the left hand? How many remembers that minute? And did I tell you that He told me, "I'd know the secrets of their heart." How many remembers that? Has it come to pass that way? See? Just exactly, it'll always be when He... Whatever He says, it'll be just that way; it never can fail. It's Almighty God, not me.
Now, when--if one of those cases could be proven to be the truth, then every person in here ought to believe the Lord Jesus Christ. Now look, friends, to you, you might've heard of all kinds of 'isms' going around saying I have power to heal. And I've read magazines and been in meetings, disguised, when I'd feel ashamed of myself. Now, you Baptist and Methodists friends in here and so forth tonight, I know that's true. These people, Pentecostal people, has a lot of 'ism' among them, but they really got a real article there too. That's right. They got the... That's the reason I come with them, because I'm one of them. That's exactly right. I got the Holy Ghost too, so I know.

L-3 Tomorrow afternoon I'm to speak on that, so be sure to come. Now, they got a real article. When you see a lot of--of make belief, remember that... When you see a...?... that's real...?... [There is a lot of feedback which makes it difficult to understand what is being said--Ed.]...?... Remember that.
Now, that's true, there's people having funny feelings, and all "this, that, and the other," and a lot of that is pure human psychology, but behind that is a real genuine Jesus Christ Who heals the sick. That's right. And it's--it's true, and I know it. I...
Someone said, the other day, said, "Billy, while you're in America," said, "why don't you just quit preaching that?" Said, "Just--just go ahead and preach the Gospel and let it go."
I said, "I done come too far now, brother. I done seen too many things happen." No, I can never turn back. God help me keep my face on Calvary and do as God tells me to do. But there's one thing I do believe, taking just every case, one by one, like that, I'd get to a thousand more in a meeting if I'd just go ahead and pray for them. If they knew that--that... The only thing He told me, said, "By this they will know..." See? They will abso... And I think I've combed it too hard.

L-4 Now, when I come back from overseas and had my American meetings, I have made it to the "Voice of Healing" down there, and it'll be published. So that you might know also, when I've come back from overseas, God willing, my American meetings, I'm just going to line them people up--a big line of people, and start praying for them. Just when the Lord'd tell me say anything to them, I'll do it. But outside of that, I'll ask the person what's wrong with them and so forth, 'cause just a few of that, and I'm so weak I can't hardly stand up.
