<TITLE>05. Par 20-23</TITLE>L-20 Tonight, I have felt tonight like that we would have a wonderful night in the services. I pray that it will be in a... I see our Sister, Brother Wood, and them here, and Brother Beeler.
Those sang--singing and you're... Will please, if you will, I can't find you in the daytime, so I'd like some recordings of them singings and so forth, if you would, or... We'll double them off at the recorders down here, and--and a...

L-21 Now, is Billy here? I--I forgot. What--what was the prayer cards you give out? "S's?" Well, usually we call up about fifteen of them, and bring them to the platform, and pray for them. We start somewhere along, get somewhere... About a hundred cards out there in the letter "S." Now, in the a balcony... Maybe perhaps many strangers here tonight. We want you to know, friends, that we're only trying to serve the Lord Jesus and trying to help someone.
And the peculiar ministry... I don't know that the Lord will visit us tonight. I believe that He would, but I have... How many is here, that's seen the Lord work in this manner before? Let's see your hands, all everywhere. Well, that's fine. You understand then. The Lord Jesus, He said He done nothing except the Father showed Him. He seen visions of whatever the Lord wanted Him to do. He saw Philip and told him where he'd come from, what he'd been doing. And He talked to the woman at the well awhile, and He told her where her trouble was. And He said, "Now the things that I do, will you also."

L-22 I want to ask the audience, the sick sufferers everywhere: if Jesus was standing here tonight with this suit that He gave me, wearing this, could He save you tonight? No, sir, He could not. Jesus could not save you tonight. He has already done that. You--you were saved when Jesus died at Calvary. The sin problem was settled then. It'll never do you any good until you accept it. You can accept it tonight, but you were saved when Jesus died for you. And was He wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed? Well, He couldn't heal you tonight, could He? He's already healed you. You have to accept it tonight. See?
When anyone says, "I have power to heal you," that's wrong. See? They have power to point you to the Healer, to point you to where the finished work has been done for you, but they can't heal you. No one can. I couldn't. No other man could. It's just them things that we can't do. May the Lord bless.

L-23 Well now, if He was here though, and He would--He would stop... Maybe there'd be something in your life, that... Or He'd do something would try to bring faith up, that so that you could be healed. Don't you believe that? Now what... What is gifts and callings? They are without repentance; is that right? Does the Scripture teach that gifts and callings are without repentance?. That's right. You can't make yourself something you're not.
I wanted to be six foot tall and weigh a hundred and ninety pounds, or... It didn't do me any good. He said, "Who, taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?" You are what you are by the grace of God. You can't add nothing; you can't take nothing. If God wanted you to be a minister, He ordained you to be a minister before the world ever began. You believe that? It's what the Bible teaches.
