<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>58-0619E, Can We See Jesus?, Textile Hall, Greenville, SC, 95 min
L-1 Shall we bow our heads just a moment for prayer. Eternal God, it is again our privilege to bow in Your Presence to ask for Your mercy again, knowing this, that You will not turn us down. Because that it has been said, and been placed into the Scriptures, "Ask the Father anything in My Name; it shall be granted." So we know that You will hear us, as we come in His all-sufficient Name. And we pray that You will visit us tonight in a very special way, by pouring out Your Presence into every heart, condemning the sinner to make him ashamed, and to bring him to repentance, and to encourage the wayfaring man, to heal the sick and the afflicted. And get glory to Thy name, for we ask in Jesus' Name, Thy Son. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 This morning at the ministerial breakfast, I was asking the question to the ministers who was--represent this convention, "Should I stop preaching and pray the next two nights for the sick?" And it was unanimously voted that I should pray for the sick. I always do; I wasn't a preacher to begin with, so I know it now, surely.
But it is a privilege to operate myself under the Divine anointing of God's supreme power in whatever ministry that He would chose for me to serve in. I just serve the best that I can with all that I have to serve with. And trusting that someday when it's all over, He will say, "It was well done." For what little I had to do with, I did the best that I could with what I had to do with. So, I'm trusting that He will understand and say, "Well done," is what my desire is.

L-3 And now tonight, being that we are just a little late, Brother Joseph was telling me that they had a little lingering in the service. And I was standing on the steps in prayer a few moments ago and got to meet some of my good friends, Brother Hall, in the meeting here from down around Chattanooga, and many of the other ministers, and shake their hands and talk with them. I heard you singing those good old Gospel songs, and it just does something to you when you hear those good old fashioned songs.
And now, tonight, I just... Before I can go praying for the sick, I must first give you a background of changing your way of thinking from the evangelistic type of service, to a--a different type of evangelism, that is, healing of the sick. And I want to go on record to say this, that Divine healing has been very rudely spoken of many times. And the cause of that is, because it's been handled in so many different ways. But Divine healing is a part of the Gospel, for it was included in the atonement. If the old atonement had Divine healing in it, surely, a better atonement would include Divine healing. The Bible said, "He was wounded for our transgressions, and with His stripes we were healed."
