<TITLE>19. Par 208-228</TITLE>L-208 Now, while you're getting your cards out, getting ready, now I want you to notice. There's many in here who does not have prayer cards. There's maybe a hundred people in here that does not have prayer card. The prayer card don't mean nothing, not a thing. The only thing it means is for you to have faith in God.
Jesus prayed for people. That's right. And many times He'd tell them what was wrong. But He said--never did say, "I have healed you." He said, "Thy faith has saved thee." People who come by... There was that blind Bartimaeus on the road, setting there, begging. Jesus walking, maybe to that gate, that road from--from where Bartimaeus was setting, was from here to almost the next corner. And here come Jesus down. And there that blind beggar setting against the wall over there, screaming. People hollering, "Away with that fanatic. Come on, babbler, why don't do some miracle and show us."
Others saying, "Hosanna! Hosanna! He's the King of--of David, the Son of David." And all of them, different, mixed.
And Jesus, going towards Calvary, with His face... He's moving towards that. I see Him walking in His young life, only thirty something years old... He looked old. They said He was about fifty, but He was only thirty-three. And there He had His face set with the sins of the world on Him, and every sickness that ever was, hanging to Him. And He was going towards Calvary to be crucified.
And that old blind beggar over there, ragged sleeves and everything, saying, "Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. Have mercy on me."
The people said, "Set down."
But Jesus stopped, turned around, looked way back yonder there, and said, "Thy faith has made thee whole." Thy faith...

L-216 Poor little woman, not much to look at. She squeezed through the crowd and under their feet, and went over there and touched His garment, run back out there in the crowd somewhere and set down. Jesus stopped, said, "Who touched Me?" He looked around. He said, "Thy faith has made thee whole."
"Why reason you in your heart?" Said to the woman at the well... He thought it was like a... They said then...

L-218 When Philip come to Him, when He--first of His ministry. Jesus was standing in a prayer line, praying for the sick.
Here's Jesus, yesterday. This will be Jesus, today, for He's the same. When that light was there in the morning, it's here in the evening, the same Jesus; yesterday and today (See?), just the same.
And when Jesus was standing there, there was a man got saved. He run off and got his friend, called Nathanael. And so he went and got Nathanael. And Philip went and got Nathanael. And he found Nathanael under a tree, praying. And when he brought him back... Jesus had come up. Stood out in the audience, wherever he was. Jesus was there, praying for the people. He looked out, said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
"Why," he said, "how did You know me, Rabbi?" Or "teacher, reverend," a title.
He said, "Why, before Philip called you, I saw you under the tree."
"Why," the Pharisees said, "you see, he's a fortuneteller. He's a devil. He's Beelzebub."
But what did Philip say? What did Nathanael say? He run up and fell down, and said, "Thou art the Son of God. You're the King of Israel."
He said, "Because I told you this, you believe? You'll see greater than this, because you're a believer." See? "You'll see greater than this." See?

L-228 Now, that's the same Jesus today. Now, let's line the sick people up and start praying for them.
Now, you out there in the audience without prayer cards, I want you to just believe with all your heart. God will make you well, setting right in your seats. He can turn His servants around and say the same thing that He said then. Don't you believe that? All right.
