<TITLE>28. Par 97-100</TITLE>L-97 Of course we can see the woman is blind. I just a preaching awhile ago about blind Bartimaeus. Mother, you believe that Christ will heal you? I can only pray; Christ does the healing; we know that. Let's bow our heads just a moment.
As I look at her gentle kind looking old motherly face, God only knows what she's gone through. I looked down at this poor little wrinkled hand. No doubt it's patted little babies on the cheek, and washed clothes for them. No one knows the sorrow that's passed over her brow, but Christ alone. But as a mother and as a woman, I'm asking Christ to do something. O blessed God, Who made heavens and the earth, cursed be the blindness on this woman's eyes. And may she this night be healed, and may that spirit of blindness that's on her eyes begin to move back, and may the sight begin to break into her eyes this very hour.
Blessed Father, Your humble, unprofitable servant prays this prayer of faith to the best of my knowledge for this gentle, sweet-looking little woman standing here. Now, I ask for sight in her eyes in Christ's Name.
Now, keep your head bowed just a moment. I'm not asking that this has to be done for sign, but I'm asking if Christ will just do a little something here to encourage her. A blind person always seems to be so, oh, so tore up or something, just setting in a dark world.
Now, everybody just be silently and in prayer with your heads bowed. Now, do you have your eyes over the lids--the lids over your eyeballs? Now, hold that way just a moment. And now, I want you to look directly at me, in Christ's Name. Can you see me? You can see me? Wonderful. Touch my nose. Well, bless the Lord. Open your eyes, everybody. She can see. The Lord has healed her. Just touch my nose. Amen.

L-98 Let's say, "Praise the Lord" everybody. See the light right in here? All... Why, she's count them...?... down and show me. Just go along with your fingers and saying, like pointing to them, so they can see... ["The lights?"] Yes, uh-huh. ["There, and there, and there, and there."]
Let's say, "Praise the Lord." [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] Amen.

L-99 What happened? God bless you, mother. Go right off the platform rejoicing. Watch, she's walking by herself. Let's say, "Praise the Lord." Everybody. [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] Let's bow our heads now and thank Him.
Heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight. Thou art--does restore sight to the blind. And now, Lord, we realize that this little woman... May these eyes continually... As that spirit left, and sight begin to creep into her eyes again, it elated her, Lord. It made her happy. It makes us happy. I pray that it'll continue to grow, her sight in her eyes, until she's perfectly normal again. I ask in Jesus' Name, and thank You for what You've done. Amen.

L-100 Let me explain something to you. See, being blind, the blind spirit turned loose of those--of those sight, that the--the vision. And when the spirit left...
Look here. Watch here. What if a transparent band was around my hand, cutting off the circulation? Now, you don't have to take my fingers off. Now, what does a doctor do? He operates on anything that he can see or feel. That's the only senses he can work with, what he can see, what he can feel.
Now, if it's blind, those nerves went dead in the eye. Now, what happened when the nerves went dead? They didn't go dead all over the body. What in that little boys ears, awhile ago that was deaf? What about in the vocal chords of the mute that couldn't speak? They say it went dead. They can't see what to operate on. There's nothing there to operate. They say the--the nerve went dead. Well, why didn't it die all over the body? Why did it just die there?
