<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 So I haven't had one for a long time, and being to preach twice tomorrow, I thought tonight I'd take it just a little easy, and preach twice tomorrow, and have one of those lines for Tuesday night, then continue on as usual on Wednesday.
I hope that pleases the Holy Spirit, and pleases the people. It's my desire always is to please God first, and then try to make burdens just as light for my fellow men as I possibly can.
Since the Lord has give me His love and grace in my heart, and told me that He saved me, and I have had such a feeling for His people and especially the sick ones, it seems to be the Lord has blessed it marvelously praying for the people. And some--some of the most outstanding things that--that I--I've ever read of, I have seen our Lord do it.

L-6 Now, friends, they said about a fourth of the congregation tonight is strangers, maybe our first time meeting. And I don't claim that I am a healer. I--I know I'm not. I claim that Jesus is a Healer, that has already purchased your healing, and by His stripes you were healed already. See? By His--by His death you was saved. If you're a sinner, you're already saved in the sight of God, and you will not be condemned as long as the Blood of the Lord Jesus is atoning for you.
That's the reason that God doesn't slay you right now, but if you die without mercy, without accepting His mercy, then you stand as a sinner in the front of God. You're already condemned. But now, if you... God... The sin question was settled. When Jesus died at Calvary, He taken away the sin of the world.

L-7 Now, and if you receive the benefits of that by accepting it as your own personal... As He... as your own personal Saviour now. And if you accept It, then you're free because Christ has made you free. But if you reject It you have judged yourself, and you've judged Him not worthy to--and not able to save you.
And the same thing by healing, for He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed.
Now, God has set in the Church gifts. And those gifts God set in the Church. And I know there's probably Presbyterian, Lutheran, myself a Baptist. And so then, you wonder then why we all gather together under one fellowship like this.
Now, I don't miserably despise Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, or whoever that doesn't agree with me on Scripture. I just think maybe that God hasn't revealed it to you, or maybe you just don't understand it.

L-8 But, friend, to tell me that it doesn't happen, you'd be just a little too late. I done seen it happen. See? I--I know that it's true, and I know that He is and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. And I believe that God hasn't lost any of His power. I believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever in every way.
Now, I can show you in the Bible where God gave His Church the authority by using His Name by faith to cast out evil spirits, to heal the sick and to do great signs and wonders. I can show you where it was given to the Church, but there's no record in Bible nowhere, where He ever took that power away from the Church or said He would take it away from the Church. But this Gospel of this same deliverance was to be preached to all nations beginning at Jerusalem. And we was to be witnesses of Him in Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth. That this Gospel, and these signs was to follow the believer until He comes again: "Go ye into all the world." Mark 16.
