<TITLE>23. Par 196-202</TITLE>L-196 Laying hands on... Now, Jesus, He didn't say, "Lay hands on and pray." He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe, if they lay hands on the sick." Never said, pray for them; just laid hands on them. The order of praying is, "Call the elders of the church, let them anoint them in oil and pray over them." That's for the church. But the evangelistic gift of healing is just lay hands on the sick. We know that. Not pray for them, lay hands on them, these signs shall follow. Now, but that the...
Let's see, who is... Brother Borders, who? All right. Just so the Holy Spirit gets started moving among us.
Now, look, I don't want anyone to move around. Please, now, everywhere, be real quiet, be reverent. Now, I mean, when the Holy Spirit does anything, you want to praise Him, that's right, you should do that. But don't move around. Set quiet. 'Cause each one of you is a spirit. And then the anointing of the Holy Ghost comes and, say, somebody back over behind there saying, "I wonder if that's right," I feel that right here. Somebody way back there saying, "Say, John, do you know So-and-so and So-and-so? I was so-and-so." See, that interferes.

L-199 See, because, if the great Spirit of Eternal Life is with us, and It's got me anointed for something, then I feel it just like a heart beat. See, you... That's how I--I find it. See, you touch Him. And through that, when you pray to Him, your favor and faith touches Him; then He just... I just surrender myself, then He speaks over, and begins to tell me. Then you be the judge whether it's right or not.
Now, if He will do this for the last time, now we're leaving, fixing to... The meeting's fixing to close in the next few minutes, how many will say, "I will accept it with all my heart, and believe for whatever I have need of"? God bless you then.
Heavenly Father, into Thy hands I commit this audience. I take every spirit here under my control, for the honor and glory of Jesus Christ. I ask it in His Name. Amen.

L-202 Now, the lady here, I believe just held up her hand that she's a total stranger to me. I do not know her. Perhaps our first time we've ever been this close together, 'less we passed somewhere on a street somewhere. But God knows us both. Now, if...
Now, watch, friends. Here is a picture today of St. John 4: a woman and a man meeting for their first time: Jesus and the woman of Samaria. Now, I'm not Jesus; neither is she the woman of Samaria, but it's another age. His same Spirit is here. The woman standing here; she might be a critic; she might be a Christian, she might be an impostor; she might be needing finance; she might be standing for somebody else. I don't know. I just couldn't tell you. But God does know. Now, if He will stand and tell me, (And let her be the judge.)--if He'll tell me exactly something about her... If I--there's anything about her, I wouldn't know it. But if He'd tell me something about her. Let her be the judge.
Then, well, if it's right, you know it'll have to come from some kind of a power. Is that right? Some... Well, then how would you class that power? It's preaching the Gospel, exhorting Jesus Christ, calling sinners to the altar, healing the sick and afflicted, what kind of a Spirit, what kind of fruits would that Spirit be bearing? The same kind of a fruits that Jesus Christ bore with the Spirit of God on Him. Is that right? It would be a Christian Spirit. 'Course it'd be up to you to make your choice, which one.
