<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>57-0228, A Greater Than Solomon Is Here, Madison Square Garden, Phoenix, AZ, 75 min
L-1 God, the Creator of heavens and earth, we want to thank Thee tonight for the blessings that we have received from Thee, how Thou has given unto us the riches of Thy Kingdom. And we are unworthy of any of the blessings that Thou has given us, but we humbly bow to thank Thee for them. And we pray tonight that Thou will continue to pour out of Thy blessings upon us. And come to us tonight in the Word, and make the Word to live again in our hearts and in our beings. Forgive us of our sins and trespasses. And help us tonight to win souls to Thy Kingdom. For we ask it in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Can be seated.

L-2 It is always good to come to the house of the Lord, especially here with this wonderful spirit moving among us. And now, last evening I kept you just a little long, and tonight I'm going to try to hurry up.
We have quite a few nights, and--ahead of us. Tomorrow night, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Sunday night we're to be here. Monday's an off day. I'm going to Mexico Monday. Be back Tuesday in time for the service Tuesday all through till next Sunday. Then we go from there to--over to the Spanish people in the San Fernando Valley, up to Oakland at the Civic Auditorium, back into Kansas, over into Canada, back down to Indianapolis, over to Chicago, on. Booked for just about a year now ahead... So be in prayer for us.

L-3 And now, as we minister tonight, we wish to read a portion of God's Word found in the 12th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, the 42nd verse. Listen close now to the reading of the Word.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
And may the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word.
These next few nights we have given to praying for the sick. And we are trusting that God will continue to move and to heal those that are sick and afflicted.

L-4 And now, before we can ever approach any subject, it must come from God's eternal Word. Now, healing is a act of faith. And faith can't, cannot rest itself upon the shifting sands of man's theologies, but it can only rest upon the unmovable rock of God's eternal Word. Therefore, faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word of God.

L-5 And Divine healing is not something that's just a, oh, a totem pole or a hocus-pocus. It's a Divine truth written in the Word of God, confirmed by the Holy Spirit. And it's not limited to any denomination, people, creed, color. It's to whosoever will, just as salvation is. It is a--a product of a finished work that we receive by faith in the great vicarious suffering and triumph resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
So much is said today about healing and the different ways that it is approached. And there seems to be so much confusion about healing. As I tried last night with all my heart to make it clear, that there is no other healing but Divine healing. God alone stands in healing.

L-6 Now, we certainly admire all that science has given us, but science is not a healing. Science is an assistant to the body. God does the healing. Science can set your arm. Science can move a tooth. Science can take out appendix or a tumor, but never can science produce a re-creation. Creation is God alone. And God has healed every person that was ever healed. No matter what hospital, or doctor office, what clinic he went to, God did the healing. God does not share His glory with no one. He said He wouldn't. And He said, "I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases." So we realize that many things has been done by hospital work, and by what the Lord has sent our doctors and science to do. And to that we are thankful and grateful.
