<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 And all around over the country you find that. And I said to some of my friends that was with me; I said, "I wonder what it'll be when we cross over to the other side, and this... All this generation stands up in the judgment, those who I've preached to, I'll have to stand as a witness for or against. God will know all things, whether they received or whether they did not, and the attitude that they taken. What will it be then, when in to the millions around the world...?"
I wonder if that gentleman is here, now, in the building that met me on the street this afternoon? That... Yes, he's raising up his hand right there. Would you just stand up, brother, just a minute? I believe he's a deputy sheriff down here in Florida. That story true? He's done testified of it; that's fine.
Then, along with the thousands, I just wonder what it'll be at the day of the judgment when we all meet there at that day.

L-5 Tomorrow night, I think they're having services back at the same place. I wish we had several days where we could stay a little longer and get acquainted. But I thought maybe in this short time... Coming here and not knowing anyone, but with my precious friends, Brother and Sister Welch Evans, that I have learned to love through the time that I have known them. And just before going overseas, I would give me an opportunity to come get acquainted and see if all the people down here were like the Evanses. I find that so, so I'm thankful for that.
Now, I'm going to turn the pages of the Bible just in a few moments for a text. Last meeting kindy speaking to you on salvation plan, and I want this to be clearly known, that Divine healing is not a major plan of God. And we can never major on a minor. But Divine healing is included in the plan of salvation for God. "For He was wounded..." That's Christ, our Saviour, God's Son. "He was wounded for our transgressions, and with His stripes we were healed."

L-6 Now tonight, we're going to speak on Divine healing and pray for the sick. Now, I am not a Divine healer; I don't believe there is such a person on this earth. I believe that there's people who preach and practice Divine healing, but I do not believe that there is a Divine healer. If that's so, then the Scripture's wrong. For in Psalms 103, David said, "Bless the Lord, O my soul... Who forgiveth all of thine iniquity; Who healeth all of thy diseases."
And if Jesus was wounded for our transgressions, and with His stripes we were... Did you notice the quotation? Past tense. "Was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes were..." Was and were (past tense), already healed...

L-7 Now, we think that the gift a persons... Divine healing is based upon, not the merits of your salvation, or your church affiliation, or your standing, which is very, very fine. But the--the merits... Divine healing is based upon the merits of your faith. "If thou canst believe..." And surely if we can place enough faith in God to raise this body up from just a little spoonful of ashes off of the earth, surely we could trust Him to patch up these bodies to live for Him in.
I believe it is the--the--what we would call, "the earnest." We have now the Holy Spirit, which is the Earnest of our salvation, our eternal hope. Then we have Divine healing as the earnest (or the down payment) to prove that it belongs to us, of the resurrection, that our bodies will be raised up. When you see a person weighing to a shadow of a cancer, eat up, till he... The cancer, rather, has eat him to a shadow, and see him rise to a new man, strong and healthy... See a person that is totally deaf and dumb--born that way--begin to speak and hear... A man that never seen daylight in his life, jump forth screaming and praising God that he can see; and prove it by walking around showing people and so forth that he can see, live the rest of his life with good sight, that proves there's a resurrection. For a God that can bring that, can bring forth the resurrection.
