<TITLE>20. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 All right, how many did I call? Ten? Let's try five more. What--was I started--stopped... 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 in S's: S-10, 11, 12, 13, 14 15, see how many that gets us.
And now, how many's here that doesn't have a prayer card, and you really believe that Jesus Christ is alive tonight, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and you want to be healed? You without prayer cards, raise up your hands, so--so I can get a general idea of where you're at. All right.
Now, will you do this? If you'll... Listen, friend, I could come down there, lay hands on you; we could go down, do everything we could. That's all right. I have nothing against that. But if you'll look to the finished works of Calvary... Moses, when he raised up... Was the brass serpent a type of Christ? You Bible scholars know that. The brass serpent couldn't pray for nobody. They just looked and lived. Is that right? Now, if the--if the type, a brass serpent, would produce Divine healing in a shadow, a type of Christ, what will the antitype do, the Blood of Jesus at the altar tonight?
 Look and live, my brother, live.
 Look to Jesus now and live.
 It's recorded in His Word. Hallelujah.
 It's only that we look and live.

L-62 I'm not here tonight, to be a deceiver. I'd be home with my wife and baby. I'd rather do that and meet God in peace, than to try to be here as a deceiver. I'm here trying to tell you the benefits that Jesus died for you. Have faith in it, and if you're children of Abraham, you have got faith in the finished works.
Now, is a... Are they all lined up, Paul? Now, if this line runs out... Now, you remember it makes me real weak. If the Holy Spirit will do it, if He doesn't, we will... What will we will do then, we will call up a line of people in a few minutes and pray for these right through. If the Holy Spirit doesn't come and anoint, and if He doesn't, we will bring the people right through and pray for them, two or three hundred of them, just laying hands on them and praying for them, if the Holy Spirit doesn't come. If It comes, I--It stops me. Then, a few, my son, Billy Paul, these recording boys setting here in the audience, in the pit here, Brother Wood, Brother Boze. Many of them stand and watch.

L-63 It's the subconscious. You say, "Subconscious?" Absolutely. Find out about the prophets and so forth if it wasn't subconscious. Certainly, it was. Certainly. It's in another world.
But I want to ask you something, believer and unbeliever. If Jesus Christ, on this platform tonight, will represent Himself in poor humble flesh... What will we do? Submit yourself. It's a gift. Does God promise? What did He say He'd set in the church first? This is church gifts: first, apostles. Is that right? That right, ministers? What is apostles? Why do you want to be called a missionary? It's apostle, the same word, "one sent." Is that right? Apostle is missionary.

L-64 First in the church is missionaries, after that prophets (That right?), teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Is that right? All for the perfecting... And then there's nine spiritual gifts that just go from person to person in a local church, which is gifts of tongues, and interpretations, and all, and gifts of prophecy. Quite a difference now, between a gift of prophecy and a prophet. A gift of prophecy is just in the church, the gift itself. A prophet is borned a prophet. Moses was a prophet when he was born. Jesus was the Son of God from the foundation of the world. Jeremiah, God told him, said, "Before you was even formed in your mother's wombs, I sanctified you and made you a prophet over the nations."
John, the Baptist, was a prophet and the voice of one crying in the wilderness, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born. That's God foreknowledge. He didn't have to ask for anything, it was borned that way. Gifts and callings are what? Without repentance. That's what God has done.
