<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 Now, tonight I just want maybe to... Billy, my boy, Brother Hudson caught him at the hotel and said, "I want you to go down and give out some prayer cards." If we'd knowed there'd just been this many, we wouldn't be... And Billy come back and said, "Daddy, you can't give out prayer cards, not enough people there to give them out to." I think he said he give out about twelve or fourteen prayer cards, something like that. He said there wasn't many had gathered in yet: cold weather.
You know what? Down in my country, you wouldn't get anybody out in this kind of a night. They wouldn't come. It's too cold. And so we... But we'll just pray for the sick anyhow. I won't keep you very long. And then tomorrow night, if the Lord willing, I'll preach tomorrow night, the Lord willing, and also a prayer line, if the Lord leads just pray for the sick.

L-10 And now, the reason sometimes that we give out prayer cards. My... Some... I got my two tape boys here, Mr. Mercier and Mr. Goad here, and they have their tapes, and they tape the meetings. And they have them; they sell them just at a real close margin of what they cost. They go with me everywhere I go, and they got many of the great services. And if you have a tape recorder, I'm sure you'd appreciate these tapes. And so them or if Billy can't get here, one of those will give out cards each evening, night, rather. Now... Oh, I guess it's evening. I...
I get this thing all mixed up. When I get up here, I have to watch what I'm saying. Down in the south we have breakfast, dinner, and supper. Up here you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I feel like I'm short a meal when it--when it comes time. I didn't get my supper. I--I don't know... So I'm... We southerners may be just a little odd, you know, to the Yankees up here, but the war is over now...?... The war is over. Now, we're all together with war on sin and on sickness.

L-11 And I want to read just a little bit tonight. And there might be some people here that I have, perhaps I have never seen in my life, perhaps they'd never been in one of my meetings. Frankly, I don't know anyone by face at this time. I believe this man, brother here with the--with the beard; I believe I've seen him somewhere. I might be, not be sure. Have you been in one of my meetings, brother? I really thought I remembered him by having a beard and hair. He reminds me of Brother Ryan. What about that, Gene, doesn't he look like Brother Ryan? You remember Brother Ryan? Just such a wonderful, dear friend of mine from up in Michigan. Just gone to be with the Lord recently.
But now, I want to explain... I've... How many's here wants to be prayed for tonight, raise up your hands. Let's see. Well, I guess then that'll be fine. We'll just pray for the sick then. I'll just get me something else maybe. Or...

L-12 Let's see, I--I want to read a--a verse of Scripture here anyhow, found in the--the 12th chapter of Saint John, 20th verse, very familiar, but just begin a background to talk on healing.
... there were certain of the Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
The same therefore came to Philip, which of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sirs, we would see Jesus.
Now, that's a very familiar little Scripture, but I'd like to ask this in this little group: What if this was the last night that would ever be on earth? Do you know before the--we close I got a message that I had here not long ago in California on "The Handwriting On The Wall," and about the modern sputnik, if it's in the Bible, and so forth, and what it means to this generation in the hour that we're living. And I trust that the Lord will let me speak on that before going and leaving the meeting.
