<TITLE>17. Par 69-71</TITLE>L-69 Now, I think they're trying to get the line lined up down there, each one in their order. And I'm taking just a little time, so that I can feel myself back normal again. And we're going to ask for prayer. How many in here believes in prayer for the sick? Oh my. That's wonderful. And we know He will do it, because God promised He would do it. And God is true to His promise.
And I believe tonight we'll see the hand of the living God move in our midst. Won't that be something to tell the people tomorrow, that God came down in our midst? Now, the initial way, the way the Lord told me, He said, "When these signs are done before the people, that'll cause them to believe, for they know that man couldn't do that."
I spoke (you read my book), and I said, "I'm uneducated. I could not get the people to believe."
He said, "These signs are given to you for this purpose." Not to cause them believe me, but believe Him. I have nothing to do with it. I get sick myself and have to pray for mercy. Now, I ask you to pray for me when I'm sick. Then I'll pray for you.

L-70 And we're no more, we're not greater than one another. We're all the same. We're just... If a person isn't no more than a little housewife, she's just as much in the Kingdom of God as the apostle or prophet or whatever he is. She's God's child. And there's no difference in us. God put some to do one thing, and some another. That don't make us above anyone. That just God chose us.
That's the reason I different with the Catholic belief in intercession of saints or the virgin Mary. Virgin Mary's a wonderful woman. Certainly. She brought the Lord Jesus to the earth by the command of God. But He could've used anybody else He wanted to. She's not a god or a goddess. She's just a woman. She's in glory. Certainly she is. But she's--no way at all for her to intercede. There's no Scripture in the Bible for that.
There's one Intercessor between God and man, and that's the man Christ Jesus, none other. Anything different from that, anything that intercede for you, any saint, any person outside of that, is purely high form of spiritualism. The dead are passed on. They're in the Presence of God, but cannot intercede. That's exactly right. Spiritualists believe that. But not Bible teaching doesn't believe that.

L-71 Nothing against Catholic people. My people are Catholic. I'm an Irishman. My mother and father both are Catholic people, come from Catholic families. But I... Me, I'm love the Lord Jesus, and been borned again. I'm a Nazarene, Pentecostal, Baptist, Catholic, borned again Christian. Amen. And I love you all.
Catholic don't mean... A Catholic man or woman is just as much in the sight of God as anybody else. Certainly. I just different with them in their doctrine. I don't protest the--the Catholic people. I protest Catholic doctrine. I protest a lot of Protestant doctrine too. That's right. I believe what the Bible says is the truth. I believe God's in His Word, and that alone. That's the only sacred thing we got left on the earth that confirms the Holy Ghost, or the Holy Ghost confirms the Word. Stay with the Word. That's the reason I'm firmly a believer.
