<TITLE>11. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 We pray now, that You'll bless our feeble efforts as we try to place before our precious friends, the Gospel. And, Lord, will You help me, I'm the one that needs help.
And if I should say anything, or try to say anything that was contrary to Your will or Word, then, Father, You're still the same God that could close the lion's mouth in the den with Daniel, you could close mine also. And I pray that You'll not let me say one thing but what would be to--the edifying and to--of Your church and of Your people.
And may every sick person be healed. May every lost person be saved, every backslider brought back to fellowship again. Bless Your Word as we read it tonight for this little text, may it put a preparation together for a--a real time in these next few nights in Your servants. And when services is closed, then we'll humbly bow our heads and hearts before You, and give You all the praise and glory. For we ask it in the Name of Your dear and beloved Child, the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Amen.

L-38 Now, to you who are--usually keeps text, or account of the text, or places, I want you to turn tonight to I John, the 5th chapter, and the 4th verse, just to read a few words. I want a little text to draw a context.

L-39 And while you're turning, I might say that now on the evenings that we are praying for the sick, in order to keep order, the boys will be down here about a hour before service starts giving out prayer cards to anybody that wants them. They take the prayer cards and bring up before the people, and mix the prayer cards all up, bring them down and give them to anybody that wants them, and the prayer cards is to be used at night. Don't--don't bring them or give them to anyone else. You--you heard the instructions. You're the one that gets the prayer card. Then if you have some friend that wants a prayer card, then have them come over and hear the instructions that Mr. Borders and them will be giving you instructions, and ministers and so forth. And the prayer cards are inexchangeable, should be given to each one, and then they'll call by numbers to come to the platform. Then, that makes it so that no one knows where the prayer line is going to start, no one knows what cards... Say, Give me prayer card number one." Well, if you had number one, we may start from fifteen.

L-40 Because I tried this; we tried it without prayer cards, and you talk about a scramble. This really would be an arena. And then, we have a... Then we tried that. Then I tried sending a hundred prayer cards to each cooperating pastor. And then the first pastor got his group in, the rest of them didn't get them in while the meeting was going on, 'cause time we got through that, and them slow moving lines, because we don't let them pass by until we're sure everything's all right. So I think that's the way you'd want it. Is that right?
And then--and then, many times there's fifty healed in the plat--out there, when there's one healed on the platform. So it doesn't matter about that too much. And the Holy Spirit goes right on out through the audience, as we'll get to farther on, gets healed just the same. But the cards...
