<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 Now, if you can look and live when you see the--hear the Gospel preached, on the basis of the Word, that settles it. You're healed right there. But you cannot be healed by mental faith. You've got to be healed by a real living faith from your heart. When... No matter how much you're worked up up here, and no matter how much you disbelieve up here, if something down here tells you it's over, it's over; that's all. That settles it. There's no more fear at all. Nobody could tell you any different. You don't know why you believe it. It's not reason; it is faith. You just believe it and that's the way it takes place. You believe it and go on, no matter what you're sense knowledge would say, be all out of reason...
It was out of reason for Abraham and Sarah to have the baby, but they believed it anyhow. It's all out of reason for a man to stay alive in the belly of a whale, but he did anyhow. It's all out of reason for a man to raise one from the dead, but He did it anyhow. See? Yes, it is true. It's not reason, it's faith.

L-18 Now, let's speak a few moments on the Word, God willing. The 15th verse, now, you that turned to the 16th chapter of Saint Matthew.
And He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered... said unto Him, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed this unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say... unto thee, That thou art Peter, upon this rock I'll build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Let's bow our heads while we talk to the Author of this Word.
Heavenly Father, after reading forth this Word, knowing that it came from the sacred lips of the Son of God, as Matthew, the scribe, standing there penning it down, just as He spoke it... Then we would move with reverence, Father, to Thee, to ask that You would give us light on this Scripture tonight, for we have took it as a text, not knowing just exactly where the first approach will even come. But just standing in the hall and feeling of this Scripture and here It comes. Now, Father, let the Holy Spirit take the Word and give it out to every heart as we have need.
Build faith in the hearts, Lord. Those who have never had faith, yet, to believe Thee and accept Thee, may they do it tonight and be saved... All the aliens that's away from God, tonight, may they come humbly to the cross and be saved.
May those without the Holy Spirit be borned again tonight, with the Holy Spirit. I pray Father, that all the sick and the afflicted, every one will be healed this night. Get glory out of the service, for we commit ourselves to Thee for the operation of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

L-19 The Scriptures tonight that we are referring to... And I see right now it's going to be a tussle if visions don't start breaking forth. You pray for me, 'cause I already see one right now, moving right in. Now, the Lord Jesus, the Son of God...
You want to really, to have that baby? You believe God will give you that baby that you're praying for? You're sterile, aren't you? You can't have a baby, but you're praying that God will give you one. Isn't that right, the lady setting there? You have a prayer card? You don't have a prayer card. You won't need it. You believe Jesus will give you the baby? Then you shall have it. God bless you. Let's love Him with all of our heart. I never seen Him fail and you never will.
Jesus of Nazareth, here, speaking... The little lady, before we get to it, the little lady's setting there, her faith somehow just pulled me there. I guess it was grace of God. Just, there stood the Light just above her and opened up and showed that she was praying for a baby. All right.
