<TITLE>21. Par 74-78</TITLE>L-74 I would ask you, if you would, be just as reverent as you possibly can. I trust that you do realize what this is all about. Would you just think now? Here I am standing here just a man. God knows. And here's a line of people, fifteen or twenty, ever what lined up there. I think it was fifteen, maybe one or two of them missing. But there they are and perhaps a few more. Here sets at least sixteen hundred people, I guess, close to it, setting here before me. And there was at least a thousand hands of them went up that they were needy. And here I have spoke about Jesus Christ tonight that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-75 Now, imagine standing here. In a audience of this size, you're bound to have critics setting around. You're bound to have people that's a little suspiciously. You feel it. You can feel it. When the Spirit goes to settling, you can feel it. See? But I'm so thankful it's sure way low ebb. Faith is predominating, has been in every meeting we've been in here. See? That's right.
I wouldn't say there is a critic setting present. It may be someone just suspicious to say, "Well, now I--I'm just wondering." See? If that person only knew what effect that had and what an influence it had, well then, he'd say, "No, I believe. I believe, Lord. Lord, help Thou my unbelief."

L-76 Now, what if our Lord Jesus was standing here on the platform tonight, and He was standing right where I'm standing, now what could He do? Now, let's not--let's not look at it from the--from our own thoughts. Let's look at it in the Bible form.
Now, the first thing He said, "I can do nothing, but except My Father shows Me." And what did He... What was He? He was Jehovah's provided Sacrifice. Is that right? Do you believe He was Jehovah-jireh? He was God's provided Sacrifice.
Then when He died, He died to... He was wounded for our transgressions (Is that right?), bruised for our iniquities, chastisement of our peace upon Him, with His stripes what happened? We will be? We were; already, we were healed. Will we be saved? We already were saved. See? You never got saved just two years ago, or ten years ago, or twenty years ago. You got saved nineteen hundred years ago. You just accepted it two years ago or three years ago. Your healing's already complete. You just have to accept it. That's the reason He said, "If thou canst believe."

L-77 Now, here's a lady standing here. Is this the patient? This lady here, I never seen her in my life. Put yourself up here now as a Christian to face this woman. Put yourself up here as a Christian to face the audience. Then you better feel secure that the Angel of God is standing near. That's right.
Now, what if in that line stands critics? That may be where oppression is, oppressions I feeling. What if it is? Then perhaps the... They'll be struck right here at the platform with a disease that they pretending to have. See? What if some critic setting out there, and a disease is cast away here and it goes out into the audience? That critic will have the disease. See? How many knows that's true, and how many has seen it so many hundreds of times in my meetings? See? Sure.

L-78 Many of them is in the insane institution, and laying afflicted, and everything. How about that guy yonder that come in to hypnotize me that night? He's still paralyzed. Uh-huh. That's been nearly four years ago, and he's still laying paralyzed. Hypnotizer, go around these army camps and hypnotize people and things, make them bark like dogs and so forth. But can't play with God. No, sir.
Just be reverent and be in prayer now. Just... Now, the Lord bless. All right. Now, in the Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, for the glory of God the Father and for the representation of His Son, Jesus, I now take every spirit in here under my control for God's glory.
