<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 Now, we seen some of the most marvelous miracles. For instance, in Germany here recently, there was a little lady setting all crippled up with arthritis in a chair. Poor little thing, she'd been in there many, many years. And so, as soon as she got, the handkerchief was sent to her... I give instructions on how to place it on the body. She did just as it was instructed, she said, "Now, you old devil, you get out of this body." And she got right up and went walking on. Now, that's just how simple healing is, just taking God at His Word. She said, "Now, you old devil, you get out of here." And up she got and went walking on. Well, that's the way to do it.
And now, someone was telling me last night, that... The meeting's all to me is a dream, more or less than... And last night, they was talking about two or three of the wheelchair cases. I noticed the cots are vanishing away, the wheelchairs, some of them paralyzed, and arthritis, and so forth, healed and taken out of the wheelchairs by our Lord Jesus Christ. Isn't that marvelous? My, and some of them for years have been in there. I tell you; if you can just believe, God's got the power, if you can just believe it. That's all it takes, is your faith in Christ.

L-6 Now, usually, we give one night that we try to take up prayer cards. We can't get too many of them in one night, and the praying for them under that anointing, as I call It that. And we give one night that either the ministers all line up and get the people to come through and lay hands on them, or either we have just a prayer line, and I go down and pray, if there's not too many. Just take an individual and--and pray for them and pass them on, get another and another. If there's not too many, I can get them that way. And if there is a great group of them that I can't get through, usually, I pray until I know His Presence is there, then just stand close and let the people pass by, laying hands on them as they pass.
Now, I may get criticism over this, but, you know, Mr. Roberts has a little thing that I always admired in teaching called "the point of contact." Somebody's got to have something that they can do, that makes the contact of their faith. Well, that's very good. That--that's good if he can do that. He has them touch a chair, something, while he's praying from the platform.

L-7 That works all right, and especially in America. America has been taught, most of the people, of laying hands on the sick. That's a Jewish custom, and it's all right. It's the Scripture.
Now, some places in the Scripture they were commanded to go lay hands on the sick; they shall recover. Another place, they must anoint them with oil, and a prayer of faith shall save the sick. In another place they're to cast out evil spirits, and--and you just see it all around. It's according to your faith, be it unto you.
And like I said the other night, Jairus said, "Come, lay Your hands on my girl, and she will live. Well, I've heard about You. I believe You're just what You say You are, so You come lay Your hands on my girl and she will live."
But the Roman, not so: "Just speak the Word. I'm not worthy that You can come around my place. You just speak the Word and my servant shall live." It's according to your faith what happened.
