<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 Did you notice when He was going to pray for Jairus' daughter to be raised, the... Jairus was a Jew and he had... He would been trained to lay hands on people. Jairus said, "Come, lay Your hands on my daughter and she'll live." He had been taught that laying on hands.
But to the Gentile, he had been taught power and authority. It's according to what you believe. Both of their faith was in Christ. One said, "Speak the Word and it'll be done." The other one said, "Lay Your hands on and it'll be done." See, it's according to what you believe.
Well, now, that's... Now, that is the way it is here tonight. Many people has got the idea, when people pray for the sick, that there is something in the person that's praying for the sick that heals the sick. That is an error. It's, in Christ, heals the sick. His death at Calvary, He paid the price for all the sins and all the sicknesses of the world. And--and whosoever will believe upon that atonement He made, can have whatever they ask for. The trouble lays in the people. It's a lack of faith.

L-5 In the days of His flesh here on earth, while people said He can heal the sick; but when He forgave a man his sins, they said that cannot be done. The devil has transferred that. They say He can forgive the sins, but He can't heal the sick: just vice versa.
But Jesus Christ died under God's command. "He was wounded for our transgressions. With His stripes we were healed." And it's the personal property of every believer. You believe this?
Now, I did not come to you to deceive you. I come here because of the Bible. I come to preach It to you. And God is here to make sure that you understand It, by performing the signs that the Bible said He would.

L-6 I believe that He is just as much Healer today as He was then. The Bible said that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If He was able to heal in that day, He is able to heal today, and if there is a tomorrow, He will be healing tomorrow. If He saved from sin yesterday, He will save from sin today, and save from sin tomorrow. But all this was appropriated at Calvary. There's where the whole problem was settled.

L-7 Now, if Jesus has risen from the dead, as we're taught in the Bible... Now, the Bible is either right or it is not right. The Bible says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now, if that is right, then He's the same in principle, same in power, same to save, same to heal. He will do today the same that He did yesterday. And all of His power, all of His works, for He is not dead, He has risen from the dead. And before He died, here is the statement He made, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; and he that believeth not shall be damned."
That's usually as far as the minister goes. I am quoting from Mark 16.
But here's what Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name they shall cast out evil spirits." And other great signs He give: Laying hands on the sick, and they would get well.
The first two or three decades of the Bible, after the Bible was written, them signs followed believers. Then after the second or third round of apostles, they begin to denominate the churches, break up the brotherhood, like lodges. He begin to cut out...?... and then another. So they took all of it out mostly now.
