<TITLE>13. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 That was God's gift answering back to her faith. You see it? She believed it, and she herself used God's gift. Then the gift that was in Him spoke to the person that had the faith, and told her what her trouble was, that had said her--her faith had saved her.
But now, when God wanted to use His gift, He just took Jesus and said, "Now, you go away from this home of Bethany here. After four days, Lazarus is going to die, and then You come back and You'll raise him up." Well, Jesus went away, and they sent for Him to come, but He knew the vision said not to come, for He said He did nothing till the Father showed Him. After four days He said, "Lazarus sleepeth."
Said, "If he sleepeth, he doeth well."
Said, "He's dead. And for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there, but I go wake him." That's right.

L-56 And at the tomb, He said, "Thank Thee, Father. Thou has heard Me already, but I said it for these who stand by." He didn't have to pray, but He knew it. Now, He never said He got weak there. How much greater was the power of God to raise the dead than it was to find who that woman was. But it was a woman using God's gift, or God using His own gift.
All right. All right. Prayer card... Joseph just went to find out. Prayer card T, I believe he said. And then we had 1 to 15 last night. Let's take 85 to a 100 tonight then, take the last part of them. Now, that'll give us fifteen tonight. And now, a... maybe tomorrow night we'll start, well, I won't say. See? Let's wait till tomorrow night. And then...?... J.

L-57 J... All right, then J instead of the other. All right. J... All right 85, 99, 100. That'd be fifteen. All right, J-85, who has it? The lady right here. Would you come here, lady? 85, 86, 87, 87? Brother Gene, would you come over here to lead them from the platform? 87, did anybody have it? 88? Who has prayer card 88? All right. 89? J-89, would you raise your hand? I... The lights are right in here. I can't see, so if you'd just raise your hand so... 89, is it already there? 89, 90?
Oh, that's all right, doesn't matter tonight. 90, would you raise your hand somewhere? Raise your hand, holler "Amen" if you can. Prayer card J-90, 90? Isn't it here?

L-58 That's... You know, I--I wished if you would come, get your card see that confuses me. You see? And right here is where I'm not supposed to be confused. See? If you get a card, don't take it. If the boy offers you one, don't you take it if you're not going to stay.
Thank you, ever who turned the light off. Don't stay.
If you're not going to stay, well, don't take the card. If you take it, you come.
All right. J-90, 91, 91, has anyone got... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Oh, what a moment. You don't know how it makes you feel to stand here. I guess there's at least five hundred people, I guess, out there. More? Anyhow, I have stood before five hundred thousand (See?), and taken Christ to a challenge before tens of thousands of heathens. There's nothing to be afraid of. God promised it. His words are just as true as He is true.
