<TITLE>12. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 Then you see, then what we did... We couldn't do that, 'cause the first pastor got his in, about a hundred cards, for the three nights meeting. That settled it. And then the next we did then, I'd go down and give out prayer cards, and I'd come to--I'd say, "Let's--a--like this little boy, here, let him come count, and where he stops, we'll start from there." Believe it or not, mommy had junior stop right on her card, you know. So we're still human, we realize that, and we had complaints about that.
Then I had one fellow, that was caught in my meetings, selling those prayer cards, guaranteeing someone that they'd get in the prayer lines. One night finished that man. So I got my own son to give out prayer cards, and I know that wouldn't be with him. And then, I fixed it so the people would know that he wouldn't know where the prayer line was going to start. He brings the prayer cards before the people and mixes them all up, and just hands them right to you, wherever you want it. So he doesn't know himself. Nobody else knows.
And then--then when I come to the meeting, I leave it just wherever the Holy Spirit... I've done lot of times, count how many in this row, and takes this row away from it, divide it by that row, and so forth like that. Or just wherever the Holy Spirit would lead me to start, that's where we'd start. Then we... Before the services end though, we always pray for everyone that comes to the meeting. We always get that.

L-42 Then, we want to let you to know too, we don't try to say, "Now, the evangelist is here. He's the one that's going to do the healing." We let you know that your pastor is a man of God, just as much of authority to pray for the sick, as me, or anybody else, me, Oral Roberts, or Tommy Osborn, or any--any of the men that's on the field today, praying for the sick. Your pastor has the same authority. He might not operate under the same gift, but he's still God's servant, operating under the gift that God give him. So we always remember that.
And now, you come about... I... What time you going to begin the services...?... ? Seven-thirty, then you ought to be here at six- thirty, so you--they won't interfere with the rest of the meeting. They start in to give out the cards up till that time, so come as early as you can, so they won't all be gone when you get here. Then each night, they'll be giving out cards that we pray for the sick, and that keeps the big rush down, and everybody and then, they'd climb over one another.

L-43 Oh, my, you ought to see in foreign lands where we--you have to take a militia almost. I've seen them run over a group of five embanked soldiers, see a woman jump up on top of a man's shoulders and run right across, getting across that man's shoulders. Upset the whole army, ranks something like that, running between their legs, maybe four or five thousand of them of them at a time just make a rush like that, and just break on through it anyhow, tear the clothes off of you and everything else, just trying to touch you or something. So we have here, we can have order in small meetings like we have now, and have it done decently and in order. Don't you believe in that?

L-44 All right now, as we read the 5th chapter, and the 4th verse of I John:
For whatsoever is borned of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word. Now, I want to speak tonight upon the subject of, "What It Takes To Overcome All Unbelief: Our Faith."
