<TITLE>04. Par 11-12</TITLE>L-11 Now, in the Book of Saint Luke, the Gospel according to Saint Luke, in the 2nd chapter, just a little familiar Scripture to read, I read beginning with the--the 25th verse:
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; the same... was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and with the parents that brought in the child Jesus, to do for Him after the custom of the law,
Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Lord, now lettest Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy Word:
For my eyes have seen thy salvation.
May the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word. It's Simeon, and then an old sage of the Bible. And if we'd take what we'd call a little text for a context, would be "Expectation."
You know, usually, people get what you expect, don't you? You take, some people come to meetings, say, "You know what, I don't believe in nothing like that. I'm just going down; I know there's nothing to it." Well, the devil will certainly show you something; you're expecting it; he will show you something that--that's not right, something that the--that the--just what you expected.
But if you expect to go down and to get good out of the meeting, God will show you something too. So you usually get just what you expect. So let's have our expectations high tonight. I see some wheelchairs here tonight, and a cot or two. And let's you and I build up our expectations that you're tomorrow are going to be walking like the woman was that was in the wheelchair last night. And you that's on the cot, the stretcher tonight, perhaps a hopeless case, but so was this woman here on a stretcher and a hopeless case. And let's build our faith up tonight with a great expectations that tomorrow we're going to be walking around here giving God praise like she is. You see?

L-12 And you do the same here sister. Now, your arthritis is nothing for God to heal; He can heal it you know. He can make it well, and He--He can do anything that He wants to (You see?), or anything that you'll let Him do. Your faith has to let Him do it. And now, see, you're mentally right, all of you here. But this poor little sister over here wasn't mentally right. She had such a pressure; she was conscious, and unconscious, and the pressure on the brain, and everything wrong, even to the famous Mayo Brothers could do nothing for her. But Jesus could. Then see? And her laying there in that condition, the sovereignty of God...
I was asking about her today and asking my boy and them, what position was the woman laying in. And I was looking forward and seeing the vision, and told about she come from a place where there was a clinic, and had great high towering place, and so forth. And she was laying back in the other side, back that way, towards the front of the altar, laying around there. And I--and the Holy Spirit goes around to her, and pulls her out, and heals her, and makes her well. He's so lovely.
