<TITLE>08. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 Now, before I forget it, I want to pray for these handkerchiefs now. Now, not only do I want to pray; I want you to pray with me, each one of you. This is somebody's daddy waiting for these, somebody's mother, and they're dear to someone. And they're God's children, believers. So let's pray together.
Now, heavenly Father, we humbly come to Thee as a group of believing people. Thou has said in Thy Word that, "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst. And what they agree upon as touching one thing and ask, they shall receive it, shall be given to them."

L-28 And now, here's these handkerchiefs, and we're taught in the Bible that they took from the body of Saint Paul, handkerchiefs and aprons; unclean spirits went out of the people; diseases were healed. And Father, we realize that we're not Saint Paul, but You're still Jesus. You're the One Who healed, not Paul; they recognized that You were with him. And surely, You would not act that way in a time of a crisis, and then when the same thing arises, as I've said, You must act the same way.
We're unworthy to ask this. There's no good thing about us. But it's because You have bid us to do it. Just like the serpent on the pole, no virtue in the serpent or pole, but obedience is what brought the results. And may it be so tonight, Father.
Out yonder on the hillside, back over behind the mountains, a little mother paces the floor waiting for the handkerchief to come to her sick baby. Poor old blind daddy setting out yonder in a little room tonight, white cane in his hand; he's heard, "Faith cometh by hearing." He's waiting for this handkerchief to return. O God, of the many more in the hospital...

L-29 We're taught in the Bible that You promised the Israelites the promised land, from Canaan to the promised land. And one day when they stepped out of Egypt to take their stand to go to the promised land the Red Sea got in their way. They were backed up by Pharaoh's army. The mountains and deserts on one side and the Red Sea was in the path. One writer said, "God looked down through that Pillar of Fire with angered eyes. And when He looked upon the Red Sea, it got scared, for it was cutting off the people of God that had the promise. And they were marching on. It got scared and moved back. Israel passed on, on the journey.
O God, tonight, when these handkerchiefs are placed upon the sick and afflicted, may You look back through the Blood of Jesus with angered eyes; may the diseases that's holding the people get scared. For the great quake on Easter morning proved that He lives, and may it move back; and may they have the promise of good health as the Bible has given the promise. Grant it, Lord, and it's for this purpose that we send these handkerchiefs in the Name of Thy beloved Child, the Lord Jesus. Amen.
