<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 See the difference? The Jew had been taught laying on of hands, the Roman had been taught authority. The Roman said, "I have... I'm a centurion, I have men under me, I say to this one do this and he doeth it." He recognized the supreme authority that Jesus had over sickness and diseases. See? So he said, anything that was under Jesus, Who had the authority to do this...?... just speak the Word and my son will live, or my servant.
And, but the--the Jew said, "No, You come lay hands on my child, see?" And now, many people lay hands on the sick, which is perfectly all right. I have nothing against it of laying hand on the sick. My ministry isn't that; laying hands on the sick.
I try not to get the people trying for touch me, or me touch them, but their faith to touch God. That's what brings the results, after all.

L-10 As Brother Oral Roberts says...?... Pentecostal brother, he says, "Make a point of contact." Well, that's--that's fine. That's all right, see. God blesses him and works wonders and we are thankful for it.
But, the way we do it... Last night I asked how many wanted to be prayed for. Sometime if it's just a dozen or two, why we can just bring them out and pray for them, get back and...?... But when the there's three or four hundred, we have to give out prayer cards to the people. They'd be lined up and numbered so we can...?... not shoving one another, pushing one another, and arguing who's first, and who's second, we give them prayer cards. We give out every day a prayer...?... person whether you come to a meeting the first night or the second night or the third night, there's given every day new prayer--prayer cards.

L-11 And in there, where ever we feel to start from, I start from...?... many of them like that, these prayer cards were given right at the meeting. They're inexchangeable. Anyone who exchanges their prayer card, they'll be put out of the prayer line, they lose their place. Because we want each individual to bring their own prayer card, you can't take them out and give them to someone else and bring them in. See, the person's got to come and hear the instructions themselves, when you have to leave services and so forth, and receive their own prayer card. Everyone can have one, but no one can exchange a prayer card.
And if you want one for someone else, bring the person in, say, "This person wants a prayer card." And ever who's giving them out will give them a prayer card, it will be all right. But they can't be exchanged.
Now, then each day, with new cards give out whether it's one person missing...?... the prayer cards...?... all doesn't get it. Some new person come in they can receive it. They have [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?...

L-12 Father, tonight, we come to Thee just as solemnly as we know how to come because we have been given the time by the Lord Jesus. And we come in His Name, because He said, "If you'll ask the Father anything, in My Name, I'll do it." And we're assured that we'll have a--a call and He'll hear it; if we come in His Name.
And we pray Thee, Heavenly Father, tonight that You'll look down with mercy. Not judgment, Lord, but Your mercy...?... Look upon this little group of people, gathered out here, at this lovely little sitting, assembly. I look just back here and suffering, leaning back in chairs, can hardly breathe, men and women, serving the sick and suffering. Maybe many of them have been to Your fine servants here, the doctors, who You set in this city, and the cities around about to minister to them. And they have come to the end of their knowledge of what to do. The doctors have tried, there is nothing else can be done.
