<TITLE>12. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 But the Roman, the Gentile, said, "You don't have to do that to me, Master. I'm a man under authority, and I say to this man, 'Go,' and he goes. And this one, 'Comes,' and he comes." Said, "You just speak the word; that's all. Just speak the word and my servant will live." Said, "I'm not worthy for You to come to my house."
Jesus turned around, and looked at those Jews, and said, "I've never seen faith like that in Israel." That's right. That's what I'm trying to get to the people. You don't see faith much like that in America. Brother Julius, you find it Africa, and India, and places like that, but not in America. Just simply... You got too much theology in America. You've had too many spiritual hypos. What you need is a real opium that eases pain. He is the Lily of the Valley. Where do you get opium? From the lily. And that Lily was crushed on Calvary; He's got all the opium you need. That's right. He eases every pain.

L-41 Opium is to take away pain, take away sorrow. You become on a drunk with opium, like the narcotics of today. But as soon as that little opium plays out, you got a headache, and you're worse than you ever was. But this opium I'm talking about, from the Lord Jesus, it just doesn't run out. In Him is... "He that believeth on Me, has Everlasting Life. If thou knowest Who you were speaking to, I'd give you waters that you don't come here to drink, said the Lord, wells of water bubbling up in your soul." That's the kind of waters we need.
Now, we're going to call the prayer line tonight. 1 to a 100? 1 to a 100. Z did you say? P, all right. Prayer card P like in Phoenix. And let's start standing up somebody, somewhere. Prayer card, well, let's start at number 1, if he started off with 1, let's start with number 1. Bring off number... Who has number 1? Prayer card, like in Phoenix, P-number-1? Would you raise your hand? I can't see out in the audience. All right, lady, come here just a minute.

L-42 Number 2, would you raise your hand? Number 3, would you raise your hand? Number 4, would you raise your hand? Watch it, maybe somebody who can't raise a hand. Might be somebody who can't hear. 1, 2, 3, 4, I guess that's them. Number 5? All right, lady. Number 6, would you raise your hand, number 6? Number 7, 8, 9, 10. All right. Now, let's let them come up first.
All right. I was just trying to wait till I felt the anointing 'fore I pray for these. Your handkerchiefs laying here; I was just waiting till I knew that He was--I had the anointing come before praying for them. Look, these might represent little sick children. What if it was my baby was sick? See, I'd want every sincerity that could be made for my baby. You do yours too. I want every little thing that God, or the minister, or anyone else can do for my baby, my wife, my loved one, my friend. You do too, don't you? So that's what we want to do, is be the deepest of sincerity to believe with all of our heart.

L-43 How many? Prayer card P-number-4 is out. Billy said it hasn't come up yet. Would you look at your neighbors card? Maybe someone has missed it. It might be a blind person who can't see their card. Everybody that's got a card, look at it, or look at somebody's card: number 4. On the back of the card, it's a little bitty thing; it's got... Over here it's got my picture on it. On the back of it it's got a P, and on there it's got a number. We do that in order to keep people lined up; that's the only reason.
And the reason I'm bringing them up here, you don't have to. You don't have to do it. How many knows last two or three nights they just called them anywhere anyhow, don't matter. It's just the idea they want somebody lay hand on them. You see? That's the only thing it is. Don't have to be. But just to bring some people up to the platform so they would understand...
