<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 I'm happy to be here tonight again, to be in fellowship with these ministers, and the different ones of you, my brethren, and with Brother Sullivan. And he's a Kentuckian, but he got forgiveness for it, and come on and become a minister. Now, it happen to be that I'm a Kentuckian too. So I--I'll just show you there's a lot of them here. How many's from Kentucky, raise up your hand? Is there a Hoosier in the bunch.
My mother runs a boarding house, and... or, she did. And I... One day, I went down there, and every one she had of twenty-three men were Kentuckians. I went up to my church, and I said, "All from Kentucky, stand up." And the whole congregation stood up.

L-7 Well, Kentucky has something that they have offered to the Lord. Been many saints come from Kentucky. In the early days, the tinier days when we came in the wagons with horses, and over across the hills... And they produced some great preachers and great saints of God. It'll be well represented in glory when we get there.
Now I trust that we, as the oncoming generation, the off-springs from them, that we're not ashamed of our forefathers or the Gospel that they preached. And let's stand for the faith that was once delivered to the saints, leaving those things are behind, let's press towards the mark of the high calling in Christ. That's my heart's desire, is to meet that high calling.

L-8 Now, last night I just spoke to you a little. And tonight, it's a healing service. We would... We don't claim now... If there happens to be someone by who would not understand that, we do not heal anyone. We only pray for the sick. I've seen tens of thousands of people healed, but I never did heal one. I've had some direct answers to prayer for praying for the sick, but I've never healed anyone. And I don't believe that lays in the power of man. It's a finished work that Christ did at Calvary.
Healing doesn't lay within man, not even to doctors, hospitals, medicine. There's no doctor, hospital, or medicine can heal. God's the Healer. Medicines will aid. A doctor can set a bone, diagnose a case, and give medicine to kill germs; but God does the healing. He could set my arm, but he couldn't heal my arm. He could pull the tooth, but not heal the place it come out of. He might operate and take an appendix out, but he cannot heal the place he cut. See? It takes God to do that.

L-9 And we're not against doctors, hospitals, or medicine; we are for them, and pray for them that God will give more knowledge to His servants. But when a doctor has come to the end of the road, and his medicine will not help the patient any longer, and he pronounces the patient has to die, I believe that patient has the right to come to the great Physician, and ask for mercy.
And that's the type I pray for. God's children, my friends, and the doctor's patient, is what I come to pray for. And I don't only pray for it myself... I don't even credit the healings to my prayer. I credit to the prayers of all the people that's in the audience that's praying at the same time for the people I'm praying for. It's together we stand.
It was when... After Pentecost, when they had assembled in one place and all with one accord begin to pray, that the Holy Spirit shook the building where they were assembled together. See? Together we stand. We're Kentuckians. Together we stand, divided we fall.
