<TITLE>17. Par 47-49</TITLE>L-47 Now, is this the... [A man says, "That's right."--Ed.] Now, if the organist will, just a moment, till we kind of get... I know something's going on. You see? And I--I--I... You couldn't expect me tell the congregation things. You see? Certainly not. But I know something's going on. And I'm--I'm watching for it. So now, let's just in a spirit of worship, just think that one day an epileptic child frothing at the mouth... Jesus had called His disciples together; He give them power, say, "Go out and heal the sick, and raise the dead, and cast out devils."
Someone spoke to me the other day and said; he said, "The disciples never failed on any case." They failed on hundreds of them. Certainly they did. They just give them that power to come. Power is given; the church has it now. But it's your faith that controls that power. There's enough Holy Ghost-believing people in here right now, to turn the world upside down. That's right. But you're afraid to turn it loose, that's all.
So the disciples come down, and they had a little emotion, you know, and they begin trying to cast this devil out, and they was probably hitting the floor, and a screaming, saying, "Come out, devil. Come out, devil." And all like that, and the epileptic just kept on.

L-48 Jesus come walking down from the mountain. The father run to Him and said, "Lord, if Thou can, have mercy on us." Said, "I got a boy, he's variously vexed with a devil." Said, "He froths at the mouth, and he falls in the water, and the fire, the devil trying to destroy him." It was called devil; it's call epilepsy now, all the same.
So he said, "And I took him to Your disciples, and they couldn't cure him. They couldn't do nothing about it." And not ten days before there, Jesus told them, and even give them power to raise the dead. See? That's right.
So he said, "I brought him." And Jesus looked at his disciples, "O, faithless generation, how long will I suffer you? Bring him here." He said, "Can thou believe?"
He said, "Lord, I believe. Help Thou my unbelief."
Jesus said, "Then all things are possible to them that believe." You believe the same thing? Then what was we sing now? Only believe. All right. Everyone together now, slowing as we sing.
Only believe, only...
Can you imagine see Him walking down the corridors of glory, stepping down into the room?
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only...

L-49 Is this the patient? What a beautiful picture. Here it just so happens... We don't know. They bring this cards down and they take a hundred of them and mix them all up together and pass them out to people. They take the card. When they do, then I might come down at the meeting; therefore, the boys who give out the cards, they don't know where the line's going to start from. They couldn't tell you. It might start from a hundred and come backwards. You know that. It might start anywhere. They don't know. The patient, they just come up here. That's all they know.
And here tonight, a very dramatic scene has appeared. Here is a woman and a man standing again. And she being, our sister, a colored woman, and me a white man, just like it was at the days when Jesus set at the well. And a woman of Samaria come out, and Jesus begin to talk to her, and He said to her, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
She said, "The well is..." The first thing she said, "It's not customary for Jews and Samaritans to have any--any doings with each other, any dealings." See, there was a--a racial concern in that day. Like a lot of the country's got yet today, racial between the--the colored and the white.
But Jesus strictly let her know that was wrong. Sure. She was God's person in the hands of God, to be manifested. Didn't make any difference whether a man's skin is white, or black, or yellow, or brown, whatever it is. We're all children's of God, offspring from Adam and Eve. That's where it started. The countries we lived in and the way it turned our skins has nothing to do with it, not at all.
