<TITLE>03. Par 16-26</TITLE>L-16   Then, tonight, the prayer cards is to be given out for the healing service tonight. Now, when we speak of healing service, doesn't mean that we're going to heal someone, we're going to "pray for someone." God does the healing. He's just been very gracious to me, to answer prayer.

L-17 And I was talking to the manager of a famous evangelist, here sometime ago, and--and it was asked why didn't this evangelist pray for the sick. And the evangelist said back to the--the manager of my meetings, said, "If... This evangelist believes in Divine healing. But if he would start praying for the sick, it would interrupt his service because he's sponsored by churches. Many churches, and many of them, does not believe in Divine healing."

L-18 So I have an honor and respect for the evangelist because he's keeping his place, his post of duty. He could perhaps... I could never take his place, and I doubt whether he could take my place. We all have a place in the Kingdom of God. We're all jointed together. Different gifts, but the same Spirit. Different manifestations, I meant to say, but the same Spirit.

L-19   And, now, tonight the services will begin... I think they said the concert begins at six-thirty. And, now, if you're out in the radio land, come in to listen to this. It's... It'll be beautiful, it's always.

L-20 And then I wish to say that the prayer cards will be given out immediately after this service, just as soon as this service is dismissed, if you're here and want a prayer card. I was instructed in there just a few moments ago, my son or Mr. Mercier or Mr. Goad, they'll be giving out prayer cards. Just remain in your seat. As soon as the service is dismissed, just remain at your seat so the boys can get down through the line and get the prayer cards given out just as quick as possible. That'll be in the balconies or on the floor, wherever, the bottom floors or wherever you are, just remain in your seat and the boys will know that you're here for a prayer card. And then tonight we'll be praying for the sick. And if the Lord does not change my thoughts, I want to preach on the subject tonight, If You'll Show Us The Father, It Will Satisfy Us.

L-21   Now I wish to read for a text this afternoon, just to start off the Life Story, found over in the Book of Hebrews, the 13th chapter, and let's begin here about... I would say about the 12th verse.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Let us go... therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

L-22 Now that is kind of a text. For, you see, if it's a life story, or anything pertaining to a human being, we don't glorify that, and especially a--a man's past, if it's been as dark as mine has been. But I thought, if we read the Scripture, God would bless the Scripture. And my thought is:
That here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

L-23   Now, I know that you're very fond of Los Angeles. You have a right to be. It's a great, beautiful city. With its smog and whatmore, yet it's a beautiful city, fine climate. But this city cannot continue, it's got to have an end.

L-24 I've stood in Rome (where the great emperors) and the cities that they thought they would build immortal, and dig down twenty feet to even find the ruins of it.

L-25 I've stood where the Pharaohs has had their great kingdoms, and you'd dig down in the ground to find where the great Pharaohs ruled.

L-26 All of us like to think about our city and our place. But, remember, it cannot stand.
