<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And Mr. Kidson, a few of the brethren were taking me from the place, and--and Brother Jack said, "Say, tell me what's wrong with this woman here, and I'll believe you." See?
I said, "Sir, the Lord doesn't work like that." You see? I said, "He doesn't... It was one time they said, 'Come off the cross, and I'll believe You.' It was one time said, 'Turn these stones into bread and I'll believe You.' One time they put a rag over His face and hit Him on the head, said, 'Tell you--tell us us who done it and we'll believe You.'" I said, "God doesn't do it that way."
He said, "Sir, I'm just curious."
I said, "That's right. Now, the woman that you have has a tumor in her side." And I said, "And the only thing's the matter with you is just a little curious preacher. You don't understand this, but someday you'll be out on the field preaching the Gospel and praying for the sick." And that's--that's the beginning of Jack Coe. He left from right there.

L-6 And tonight, he lays very ill with polio in his lungs, I think, and is very, very bad. And now, Brother Jack as I know in the foreign fields where we deal with leprosy and everything, and Brother Jack has had to face lots of sickness and things. And that... No one can really, truly, outside of God, appreciate a man that goes before every kind of a thing like that.
So I think before we start the service, will you just bow our heads for a word of prayer for Brother Jack.
Our heavenly Father, it's with bowed hearts that we come before Thee tonight, this lovely church here in Brooklyn, to offer our sincere thanks to Thee for Brother Jack Coe and for his ministry, and for the things that he has done for Thee and in Thy Name.

L-7 And now, Father, he stands just at the point of death. Oh, great, Holy Spirit, will You deliver our brother? We pray the prayer of faith to the best of our knowledge. And we pray that You will manifest Your great healing power. And Father, if be possible, I pray that You will give a vision of what to go tell Brother Jack, I would leave immediately.
And I pray Thee to be merciful to him and to spare his life, thinking of his good works and of the things that he has did for Thy Kingdom, the orphanage of the poor little children that without papas and mamas. And oh, God, if--if the enemy takes him, what will happen to that school?
God, we think of his own family, the work of the Lord. Be merciful to Brother Jack, and I pray that right now that the Holy Spirit will take over, drive away the polio, may his lungs begin to breathe back and forth normally. Grant it, Lord. We humbly offer You this prayer, Lord, with all the faith that we have, believing that You will answer us. For we ask it in Jesus' Name, Who said, "Ask the Father anything in My Name, I will do it." And I pray that it will be answered in that way for the glory of God in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.

L-8 By keeping you a little late last evening, I will try to maybe a little shorter this evening. And I want to read just a verse of Scripture from the Old Testament in 2nd Kings, the 2nd chapter and the 20, or I mean the 13th verse.
And he took up also the mantle of Elijah that had fallen to the ground and he went and stood by the Jordan.
And now, for a text tonight, I would like to use this as a text, "A Secondhanded Robe." And then for--then for a--a subject: Standing by the Jordan. And may the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word, and in doing so, bring faith to the audience.
