<TITLE>12. Par 56-60</TITLE>L-56 God bless your gallant souls is my prayer. And as soon as this healing service is over, I'm going to ask you to come up here and stand around this altar and just offer a word of thanks to God. It will strengthen you.
Promise me, that some of these good churches around here, you'll go tomorrow and talk it over with the pastor, say, "Pastor, down at the meeting the other night, I felt strangely. Something touched my heart. I raised my hand as the minister asked if anyone wanted to accept Christ. And I did. And something just happened to me. I feel like a different person." You're now beginning to live. Say, "I want to become a member of your church. I'm going to help to do everything that I can to honor Jesus Christ." He will be glad to have you. I know he will. And he will appreciate you. God will appreciate you. You fall right in with the rest of the Christians now and be a real worker.
How many Christians in here welcome them as brother and sister in the body of Christ, raise up your hands to God, that you welcome those who raised their hands awhile ago in the Body of Christ. God bless you.

L-57 Now, the next is our healing service. Just nine-thirty according to the clock. It's nine-thirty, and we want to have a healing service, not that we're going to heal anyone; but I do believe that God will respect His Word. And I believe that the Presence of the Lord is here to heal the sick, not only by my prayers, but by your prayers. Just pray.

L-58 Now, I want to say this in behalf of maybe some of them that hasn't been here before. When Jesus Christ... It said in the Bible, "To be the same yesterday, today, and forever." How many knows Hebrews 13:8 says that? Certainly it is. Then I want to ask you: Is that the truth or is it an error? It's the truth. Well then, if He is the same, He has to be the same in principle, same in power, same in action, same in attitude, or He isn't the same. He'd be the Jesus, only different. But the Bible said He's the same. Now, if He is the same...

L-59 Let's just ask something. If Jesus was here as He was on Galilee nineteen hundred years ago, would He stick out His chest and say, "Bring Me the sick now. I'll heal them." Jesus said He never did heal anybody. Anybody know that? He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works. It's My Father that dwelleth in me. He doeth the works." And when He passed by a great host of lame, blind, and crippled people, He found one laying on a pallet, for He--the Lord had told him... God had told him where he was. He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
He said, "I have no one to put me in the water. When I'm coming, somebody else better off than I steps in it ahead of me," or outrun him, or something.
He said, "Take up your bed. Go in to your house."
He never questioned, he obeyed. And he walked, took his bed and went away. He never questioned, "Do you think I could do it? I have not much strength. I've been this way thirty-eight years." He never thought of that. He just obeyed.

L-60 Then Jesus made this statement. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it." How many knows that's right in the Bible? Saint John 5:19, Jesus Christ said He never done one miracle or anything else in a way of supernatural works until God showed Him. Now, that's either the truth or it isn't the truth. Let's follow Him just a moment or two.
Watch Him when He started His ministry, how that when the people come to Him; He knowed who they were; He knowed what was wrong with them; and He told them that. The church that day said He was a fortuneteller, a Beelzebub, chief of the devils. And we all know that fortunetelling's of the devil. But they didn't take time to think it out.
