<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 And now, we... Tonight I thought I'd kind of give you a little outline of what we--we believe.
Now, first I want to say that usually in the meetings we give out prayer cards. If Dr. Vayle hasn't already went through this. He said he hadn't. Now, when we first started, I was just lining the people up, and it was like a--a... Well, the people would get in fist fights who'd get in the line. So you couldn't have that.
It's not a arena; it's a church. It might be an arena in the natural, but we're using it for a church. It isn't a scramble. Then I let all the cooperating ministers, which I see here tonight, looks like would be the--the group here. There's at least twenty-five ministers, I guess, cooperating, maybe more: at least fifty of them.
Now, if I give each one of those a hundred cards, who's going to get their group up here first? Well, that group that gets you up here, that's going to settle the whole meeting. Then what's the other minister going to do? Then that causes feelings between the ministers.

L-14 Then I sent some men down to pass out the prayer cards, and I caught one selling the prayer cards. That settled that. Then I put my son in for him to give out prayer cards, for I knew he wouldn't... Or my friends here, Leo Mercier or Gene Goad, which are my tape boys... And, or any of them can give out cards. Otherwise... When I have a minister then his own denomination was--he had to pull strings...?... had to do it.
So then I took my own son. He give out the cards, just a little square card with a number on it. You can take it and be lined up according to number. And in this, then we'd have this, if he give them out a number a past twenty-five or thirty they'd throw it on the floor. "We don't want that. It won't be called."
Well, then what I would do, I'd have some little child was setting up in front of me, "How far can you count, honey? Come here. You start counting." And where you--he ended off, or she, then I started from there. Believe it or not, mommy had junior to come right up there and stop at her number. So, see it's just a human element: you get it?

L-15 So then here's the way we do it. We come down, then we started going down and giving out the entire, all the prayer cards we ever give out, the first day. If somebody come in late or come in the second day, there's no need coming. If you wasn't there the first day you couldn't get a prayer card.
So what we do each day, we give out so many cards. From that night no one, the--the boys who are giving them out, no one else... They bring them right down here before you, mix them all up together, and you can have, maybe this one number 1, and the next one get number 30, number 60, or 90, something like that. Then no one knows where they're to start from.

L-16 That night I just wait till the Holy Spirit tells me, then I'll start and call a few to the platform. And then we start praying for them. Then as soon as the Holy Spirit starts the work, as many of you've been in the meetings, well, then it moves to the audience everywhere, to where the people are that's sick and afflicted and they're healed, by their--their own personal faith in Christ. Nothing I have in myself to do it. I'm just your brother. That's all. And I'm... But Christ, their faith in Christ does the healing.
And now, each evening or each day, them cards will be given out, each day, fresh. And then sometimes when we get a lot of cards out we'll have a line, get our ministering brethren to line up lines and pray for the sick all of them. We take up the cards and just show you that God hears any minister's prayer, anybody's prayer. Don't have to be a minister. You can pray for the sick. God will honor your prayer. See? What it is, is a faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus.
