<TITLE>22. Par 186-194</TITLE>L-186 To you that hasn't got a prayer card. Now, is there one more prayer card in the--in the audience? If there is, you must get in the line. You without prayer cards... There was a woman...
Let's say--let's say it like this, it doesn't read this way, but a woman one time had a blood issue, and she didn't know how she was going to get to Jesus. But she said, "If I can touch the border of His garment, I believe Him; I'll be healed." How many ever read that story? Why, sure, we did.
And now, she slipped through the crowd, and she slipped a past all the critics, and she touched His garment. Now, the Palestinian garment hung free, and they had a underneath garment. Now, He didn't feel it physically, but He said, "Who touched Me?" when she touched Him and went back out in the audience. "Who touched Me?"
And, why, Peter rebuked Him, said, "Lord, why would You say a thing like that? Why, everybody's touching You, and sayest Thou, 'Who touched Me?'" He rebuked Him, the Bible said.
He said, "But I perceive that I got weak; virtue went out of Me." And He looked all around over the audience till He found the little woman. And He said to her, "Thy faith has saved thee." She'd had a blood issue. You remember that? Now, if... How many...

L-191 Watch these clergymen here, all of you, your pastors. Pastor brothers, the Bible said that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right? And the Bible says that He's the High Priest, setting at the right hand of God now, making intercessions on our profession. He's the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right? See that? A High Priest. Now, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, the same kind of touch would bring the same results. Is that right?
Now, you look to Him. How would you touch Him? With your faith. Reach up and say, "Lord Jesus, I have a desperate need."
Listen. Ask this. Don't pray for yourself; pray for somebody else. Let's take it that way. Not like yourself, pray for somebody else. May the Holy Spirit see to that. Just pray for somebody else. Some of your loved ones, or somebody that you know's somewhere, or something like that, pray for that. See, that you'll know... It don't have--they don't have to be here. God hears prayer. He knows what you're praying about.

L-194 How many in the building's strangers to me, that I know nothing about you? Raise your hand. Thank you. I guess, every person. Down this prayer line, every one of you, know--you know that I'm a stranger to you, raise your hand. I don't know you.
Now, you realize, if one touch from a little woman made Jesus Christ the Son of God weak, virtue went out of Him ("virtue's" "strength"), what would that line do to me, a sinner saved by grace? See, there's your interpretation, "More than this shall you do." See? There you are. Now, if I should take half of that prayer line on discernment, they'd probably pack me out. It just weakens me. There's something about it. I can't do all that. But I can pray for each one. That's what you want anyhow, isn't it, folks?
