<TITLE>04. Par 14-18</TITLE>L-14 There was a fellow standing there with a board, that had a stick across the front and the back. And he had his--an old Indian laying there, with his legs hanging over this stick, his main body laying on the board...?... his hands laying back that way. And a great strong brave was standing there, quivering his lips, real cold. I said, "You talk English?"
Said, "Leetle."
And I said, "Aren't you afraid that you'll catch pneumonia like that?"
He said, "Jesus Christ is take care of me. I brought my daddy."
And the old fellow laying there, he had the palsy...?... I said, "You believe if I'll ask Jesus, He will heal you--your daddy?"
"Yep."
So I said, "Pass him by." And he went by, and I just laid my hand on the old fellow like that. I said, "God bless you, brother. May the Lord Jesus heal you and make you well." They passed on.

L-15 Here come someone else. After while I heard somebody screaming. The old fellow had the stretcher on his own shoulder, going along waving at everybody like that, going right out, just a simple childlike simplicity to believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, still has mercy on His people.
Friends, Christ's attitude doesn't change towards the sick or the sinner. It's just the same tonight as it ever was.
I've had ten years of this. This is the tenth year traveling around the world, seeing our lovely Lord working His great power. And I love Him tonight with all my heart. And I'm sure you do too to come out on a night like this, cold outside, to come to this little auditorium tonight to worship Him together with us. We appreciate your presence.

L-16 And now, before I open the Bible to read a few verses of Scripture, shall we speak to Him, the Author of this Word, as we pray.
Our kind heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight with all of our heart for Your kindness and mercy to us. We're unworthy of any of these blessings. But Thou by Thy sovereign grace... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] came down from heaven, was made sin and died at the cross, and was buried, and rose again the third day for our justification, bearing in His body for our redemption of both sickness, sin, wearies, and troubles. "For He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace upon Him; and with His stripes we were healed." Said the prophet.

L-17 And we thank Thee for these wonderful attributes of His death that we can enjoy while we're here on this earth. And above all things, knowing that we wait for that day that when we shall be made liken unto Him, and we shall see Him as He is, live with Him through ceaseless ages.
Father, grant tonight that Your Holy Spirit will come to this building and bless each and everyone that's here. We pray this blessing now for Your glory. And as I open this Bible, help to give us a few word of consolation out of Thy Word, for we ask [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] of His Son. Amen.
Because my word as I say as a man, my words are just a man's word, but His Word is always true. And now, we read from the 1st verse, beginning with the 5th chapter of Saint Luke.

L-18 And it came to pass,... as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
And saw that the ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
And he turned... (I--I beg your pardon. I haven't got much light here.)... And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and he prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down... for the draught.
And Simon answered him said, Master, we've toiled all night, and... taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I'll let down the net.
