<TITLE>12. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 We are going tonight to call a prayer line. I believe Billy told me that he give out some prayer cards. We will give these out each night until we--something happens. Don't miss a night; stay with it. And if you're not a Christian, be a Christian tonight. If you haven't got the Holy Spirit, receive It tonight so that you can join in with us. You don't have much longer to work.

L-38 Now, we can't call in these lines of what we call discernment. How many here doesn't have a prayer card, let's see your hands, and you're sick; you don't have prayer cards but you're sick, raise up your hands, everywhere in the building. All right. You don't need any prayer card. You see, you remember in this message tonight; I don't think I got that in, but where the woman touched the border of His garment, after He reached the shore on the other side. She touched His garment, and He turned around and said, "Who touched Me?" And He looked around and there--everyone was touching Him, but He said, "I perceive that I have gotten weak, virtue (which means strength) has gone from Me." And He looked over the audience till He found the little woman and revealed to her, her trouble and told her her faith had saved her. Now, that same Jesus, is the same One.
If the Spirit that's in this Pentecostal move, or this latter day move, if it doesn't do the same works that He did, then it's not the Spirit of Christ. If these men and things are just bluffing, and saying that's excitement because they get happy and speak with tongues and so forth, if that's just a bluff, that's all it'll be. But if it's the Spirit of Christ, He will manifest Himself and prove Himself, that He is the Christ of the New Testament.

L-39 We will not be able to call too many at one time. So I believe he said he started with prayer card A-1 to A-50 or a 100, I don't remember, but however, let's start with the first card, prayer card number 1. If you can stand to your feet, come over on this side. The gentleman there... Number 2. If you can stand to your feet, prayer card number 2. I believe that was A, A-number-2, right over here, if it's the lady. Number 3? Number 4? That's right. If...

L-40 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... aren't called by the church, or so forth, they are chosen by God: Apostles; second, prophets; third, (I may not have these lined just right,) third I think is teachers, and evangelists, and pastors. Five spiritual offices in the church to set the church in order: Apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors, those are called offices by God. Then in the local congregation, there's nine spiritual gifts that work among the people.
Now, in these offices and places, in the offices you hear from the apostle, his ministry. You hear from the prophet, his ministry, from the evangelists, from the teacher, from the pastor. Each has a separate ministry. And their ministries is of God. God has set them in the church for this purpose.
Then God comes down in the form of the Holy Spirit amongst His congregation, speaks with tongues, another one interprets and tells a certain person a thing to do, and it happens that way. Maybe that would be sometime when there was a need. Then there's gifts of wisdom, knowledge, interpretations, all kinds of gifts that goes into the church. But the first way and all of it has to come first by the Word, the Word.
