<TITLE>12. Par 42-45</TITLE>L-42 Our heavenly Father, enough has been said by man. Now, let the Holy Spirit continue on the service, Lord. And I pray that You will grant tonight that the Holy Ghost will so represent You here, that the people of this community, that has gathered in this building tonight, may be without an excuse at the day of the judgment.
O God, as You said to Cleopas and them, "Don't you know the Scripture must be fulfilled?" And if You said that You'd be with us to the end of the world and would do the same things through us that You did, mustn't the Scriptures be fulfilled? You said that in the last days, this day that we live, that when the great signs and wonders would be taking place, the Jews would be returning for the third time to Palestine; the ensign would be lifted up. And all the great signs of the world's would be taking place like it is today. You promised in that day You'd pour out both former and latter rain, and that signs and wonders would be wrought among Your people again. You promised it, Father, and we know that Your words are true.

L-43 Now, as Your poor, unworthy servant, and as all of us together are Your unworthy servants, but we now submit ourselves to Thee and yield to the working of the Holy Spirit, that if there be some here, Father, who doesn't know You in the power of Your resurrection, may it come to pass tonight that they will believe on You. Have mercy on the sick and afflicted. And may each one catch the vision of Your finished work and Your Everlasting Eternal Life, which You are the possessor of, and give to us as we believe. And declare Yourself to be alive tonight, holy Father God, as we pray and ask these blessings in Jesus Christ's Name, Thy Son. Amen.
Now, I'm going to ask this, which is usually a custom that I do. Now, to you people who haven't been in the meetings before, I will admit that connected with Divine healing is much fanaticism. Jesus said there would be, connected with all religious moves are fanatics.

L-44 Just visiting in India and watching the hypocrite lay there trying to clown for somebody, roll his back on some spikes, walk through some glass. Just remember, that in the interior there's a genuine person who's doing it for the sacrifice for his soul. But that's a clown. We have it in all different kinds of churches, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Pentecostals, everywhere else. That's the reason I don't belong to any church. I belong to the One Church; that's the Body of Christ. And all these members are made up out of different churches as they believe and God receives them. So have faith tonight and believe.
But now, if you are a unbeliever, I don't believe I would stay any longer in the meeting. I believe I would go and wait and come back tomorrow night and listen to another service. For I don't think it would be profitable for you. For you have to take my word in just a few nights here, but some horrible things has happened in the meetings when Christ, the Holy Spirit begins to move among the people, and diseases and demons...

L-45 See, we call it tonight, we got medical names, call it cancer, epilepsy, and all kinds of things. But Christ called them devils. The word devil, is a tormentor.
Like a person that's deaf and dumb. The doctor would examine that person. Now, listen close. He'd say, "Well, the nerves is dead in the ear, or on the vocal cords, the nerve is dead, that's the reason you can't speak or--or can't hear; there's no vibration; it's dead."
"Well, why didn't it die all over the body then?"
"I don't know," he said, "it just died there."
Well, the thing of it is, what the doctor works on is what his five senses will declare: see, taste, feel, smell, and hear. Has anybody here ever heard the old Missouri thought, "Seeing is believing."? Did you ever hear that? You want to see how foolish that is just a minute? Let me show you something.
