<TITLE>12. Par 52-55</TITLE>L-52 May the Lord Jesus now come on the scene. I've talked plenty, too much. But I want you to know that we have a basis on the Bible. This may be just a little different than what you ever heard it. You may have thought that the people here a few nights ago... Before I close. This comes to my mind, I must say it.
Some man belonged to a certain denominational church that did not believe in Divine healing. I was in a little prayer meeting. He caught me, and he said to me, "If you be the servant of the Lord for the glory of God, that I myself might see it for the glory, here's a little crippled girl. Heal her and raise her up before me, and I will believe it."
Now, you see, the man was lost, though he's a minister. He was lost. He didn't realize that the same spirit that said, "Come down off the cross and we'll believe you..."

L-53 There was a sinner setting in the next room. So got the sinner, brought him up here. Said, "Now, sir, you take this poor lost sinner here that's sinful for the glory of God, and save his soul tonight and if you when you save him, I will heal her." That's right. "You save this one; I will heal this one." Couldn't. That's right. Sure.
He could not save the man, neither could I heal this--the crippled girl. But Jesus Christ can save the girl, and Jesus Christ can heal the--or save the man and heal the girl. That's right. For it does not lay within man. We're only instruments that the revelation of God can be brought forth through our lips as the Holy Spirit speaks as we yield ourself to Him. And any Divine gift...

L-54 Many of you ministers here, you wouldn't want to say that you just spitted out a sermon and stood, popped it off. You'd want to say it come from inspiration. I believe it. Certainly. Well, it has to come from the Holy Spirit that energizes you to speak that message. If it isn't, you'll never be successful.
This is Charles Finney, and so forth, and man who copied their sermons out and when he got up there and preached with the inspiration, the Holy Ghost... The same sermon he preached the night before, hundreds brought to the altar. See?
There's such a difference. It's got to be by inspired. The Holy Spirit's got to unctionize in that--that thing. So is it with healing. There's got to be something take place through a Divine gift that'll energize the people with the Holy Spirit to believe.

L-55 Now, Jesus comes on the scene tonight and performs the very things that He did here in the Bible to prove that my contentions for Him is the truth. Not that I'm the truth, but He's the truth that I'm representing.
Any man can come, tell you anything he wishes to. You don't have to believe it. But if a man tells you something, and God turns around and proves to you that that's the truth, and it's according to the Word, then you better believe it. It's a good thing to do it. God bless you while we pray.
Father, now long speaking, most forty, forty-five minutes just speaking to the people trying to get them to see their purpose here. Their purpose is not to go to work, and come in at night, and eat the meals, and go to bed, and read the paper the next morning, and go back to work again day in and day out. Neither is it to go to church on Sunday morning, listen to the sermon, go home, go to work, and Father we're here to be instruments of Yours. You redeemed them back to their right estate. Man in his right mind believes God for all things.
