<TITLE>02. Par 8-13</TITLE>L-8 And don't forget, if there's any visitors among us that have sick people, we'll be having prayer for the sick next Sunday, a week from today. And that'll... If the Lord willing. And that'll be... You always notice I like to put that, "The Lord willing." The Bible said to do that, "if the Lord is willing." We don't know yet; He has never told me that I'd be here, and the church would be here, and we'd all be here, or whatmore. Then if it's His will, we'll be here. You see? If it isn't His will, 'course, we won't.

L-9 Brother Neville will be continually announcing it on his broadcast, and different ones, I guess, the brother here and the ones that has the broadcast. And then come in early as you can Sunday morning, 'cause we're looking for a goodly crowd here to be prayed for, and we want to come in. We'll... Well, let's see, I... If there's a big crowd like this, it's always best to have prayer cards, because they're so jammed together, you just, one pushing around the other one and things like that. I think if you just have it orderly so they just come one by one, it makes--keeps the confusion down amongst the people, you know.
And then just... And you don't even have to get up till your card's called. Just set right where you are if you're sick and feeling bad, and you won't have to stand in a long line. Just when your card's called, just come right on up and be prayed for and go down, and another one come up, like that. I like that a whole lot better. I usually have the boys to set some chair, if somebody feels bad while they're waiting, call up a few at a time; they feel bad, why, just let them--let them wait there in their chair until--or set in the chair until their number's called, till they can be prayed for.

L-11 And I do believe in Divine healing; it's one of the great doctrines of the Bible. But Divine healing has more to it than just Divine healing. Divine healing only says that there is a God Who's coming again. What does Divine healing speak of? It's the earnest of our resurrection. If there's no Divine healing then there is no resurrection. See? And if there is no Holy Spirit now to baptize us, there is no Eternal Life in the world to come.
The Bible said, "This is the earnest of our salvation." And you know what the earnest is? Is the down payment. See? If you go down and pay each... Say you bought a farm; they wanted ten thousand dollars for it, and you paid two thousand, that's your "earnest money," they call it the earnest of it. Now, if this baptism of the Holy Spirit is just the earnest on what's coming, oh, what will it be when we--when we get the full price? It'll be glorious.

L-12 Now, this morning we're going to try to tie, the Lord willing, some of those things in, of the--between the church ages (these right in here) there's something goes in: the hundred and forty-four thousand, the remnant, the sleeping virgin, the wise virgin, and the sealing of the Holy Ghost, marking of the beast, all those things just at the end of the age, and everything falls right in here in one place; so that therefore, we ought to have just the rest of the winter to take this out, but we--to get the Book of Revelations, see how It ties together.

L-13 Did you ever notice, civilization's traveled the same way, Mr. Wood? It's a... This man has got his same senses; he's got six senses, or five senses, rather, that he's had since he--since he come on the earth six thousand years ago. But right here in the last, just the last little bit, last hundred years... And my, he come, back there moving slow in an ox cart. But from that ox cart, in the past hundred years, he's went from a ox cart to a--a rocket that'll fly nearly two thousand miles an hour. That's how fast he's picked up, from the ox cart to the rocket. And look, it's just only been in the last few years, why, I'd say not much over fifty years ago.
