<TITLE>06. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 Christ used about eighty percent of His ministry on Divine healing to--and drawed His crowds together and showed His--declared His Messiahship and then called them to repentance. We're trying to run the gospel in the same manner that It was then because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That's our theme.
Now, the prayer cards will be given out each night. We tried since we was here before, sending the prayer cards ahead to the ministers. The first minister that got his congregation in, that settled it for the rest of them. Nobody else got theirs in in these little, short meetings. 'Cause we don't take too many at the prayer line, haven't been until lately. And the Lord has revealed to us how we can still run a prayer line and get hundreds through the prayer line, so they can be prayed for.

L-28 Now, the--we found out that that caused ill feelings amongst the ministers. Then I had someone to come along and would for... Give out the prayer cards, and come to find out that they give them all out in one day. And then if someone come in the second day, he didn't have a chance. 'Cause there was enough prayer cards to give out the first day to take care of the entire meeting. Well then that wouldn't work.
Then I come to find out I had somebody giving out prayer cards that they offered him--somebody offered him five hundred dollars to put his wife in the front row, so he'd be sure to get in there. Well, I had to watch that. That's just where the magazines and newspapers are waiting for, that one thing to criticize.

L-29 So I got my son to come with me. I've got two trusted boys here, Mr. Mercier and Mr. Goad. And I know that they would never do a thing like that.
And usually when Billy's along, my son, he gives out the prayer cards, unless he gets in a rush or has to do something, then Gene or Leo, one gives out the prayer cards. Therefore, it isn't the ministers, so that they could have some back-wash after he leaves, say, "Well, you went and give so-and-so a prayer card, you didn't give me one." See? There you are.

L-30 So we do it with my own son, and usually they don't--they pick on him. Not like it would be if it would be a local minister. So those are giving out every day, so that every person, no matter if you come the first day, second day, third day, whatever meeting. Everybody has the chance to get a prayer card. How many thinks that's absolutely up-and-up and on right? Everybody. See, that gives everybody a chance to get in--a prayer card to be in the line.
Now, the meetings is not based on whether I lay hands on you or whether I pray for you. The meeting is solemnly based this: upon your faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I do not believe there's a man on the face of the earth that has any power in him to heal the sick. I don't believe there never was a man who ever put foot on the ground of this earth that ever had power to heal the sick even to Jesus Christ. That's--that's right. For He plainly said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me. He doeth the works." How many knows that's the Bible?
