<TITLE>12. Par 124-130</TITLE>L-124 Looky here. This same man come down... There was a girl named Tabitha--Tabitha, which means "Dorcas," died when she was down there. And Peter was up at Joppa. They sent up and got him and brought him down. And he walked in to where she was laying a corpse, put all the people out, and knelt down and prayed. And when he did, he went over and took a hold of her hand, and raised her up. And she was whole again, alive.
And watch what took place.
 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days...
Just before that.
 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord. (Many believed.)
And today, they'd say, "I doubt whether she was dead at all, or not. She was just in--in a coma or something like that. I don't believe in such a thing." Explained it all away. When you explain away the supernatural out of the Bible, you're explaining away the very God that you worship. Certainly, you are. He's a supernatural God. All right.

L-127 Now, but stop these apostles? Brother, they had been with Jesus. They didn't care what anybody said. They called them over there one time and told them the days of miracles was past, and whipped them and put them in jail, and kept them all night, and next morning put them in judgment. And they come to find out, they were ignorant and unlearned men. But they taken notice to them, that they had been with Jesus.
Being let go, they never went over and consulted the seminary any more. They went to their own people. And when they come together, explaining what the Lord had done, they gathered together and prayed this prayer, "Lord, why did..." Is fulfill which was spoke by the prophet, of course, "Why did the heathens rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?" Said, "Truly give us power, by stretching forth the hand of Thy holy Child Jesus to heal the sick, and signs and wonders might be did." And when that people prayed with one accord in that place, the building was shook, where they were assembled together.
What we need tonight is a unitary prayer meeting, where we bind ourselves together with such one heart and one accord, and pray a prayer like that. Then we'll have another shaking time. Amen.

L-130 Notice. Peter, once the denier of the Lord, once didn't believe on Him, or had denied Him, and went out and wept bitterly, and come in, now, he's received the Holy Spirit. Listen at him preach.
 And there was a certain man by the name... called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
 A devout man, one that feared God with all his house, and he gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
What a man. Now, not... Remember, not even a Gentile, not even a Jew, he was a Gentile, a centurion over... A "century" is "a hundred men." But he was a God-fearing man. God has always, among the Gentile people, found God-fearing men.
