<TITLE>23. Par 77-79</TITLE>L-77 Well, wait a minute. I believe you--you give out cards. All right. We'll try prayer cards first. Now, we can't bring too many up here at a time. What was it, Billy? Was it A? Prayer card A. Now, that's A 1 to 100. We'll have to start from somewhere there. If we start from some place, maybe tonight; tomorrow night, another place; next night, somewhere else. Just 'cause... We... Used to, we'd start...
I--I gave my cards, many of you remember, down in here. I used to... I give them to a fellow one time and they caught him selling prayer cards to get somebody up in the prayer line. I stopped that right quick. I put my brother on it. Now, then my son come along. I put him to give them out, and trusted men. Then I'd come along...
For awhile I'd have little children like this to stand up, like I'd have little Junior here, I'd say, "You stand and start counting, Junior, and wherever you stop counting, that's where I'll call from. Huh. Believe it or not, we're still human. Mama had Junior stop right at her number (See?), right where it was at. So I couldn't do it that way. Complaints come up. So one night in prayer the Holy Spirit just said...

L-78 And then, the first thing I do it... The first meeting, I went down and give out everybody a prayer card. I give each pastor a hundred prayer cards to give out to his... I believe that's the way we done it here the last time, I believe, in the Beaumont meeting. But the first man got his group in. That settled it for the rest of them. See? So you couldn't do that. The only way, justly, we found to do it was to give them out every day. Every... And if a fellow... if you got prayed for, you had to come the first meeting or you was out. Fellow come the second day, he couldn't get a prayer card. Third day, no matter what it was... He was obligated to pray for them first. See? So they didn't get in the prayer line.
So now what we do is give them out (have been for years), give them out all together every day. And at that night we come down, just wherever the Holy Spirit starts to deal with me. Sometimes I counted how many's on this and how many's on this side, and divide them by this side, start like that, anywhere, we don't know. Just wherever the Holy Spirit puts on my mind, then I know.

L-79 The man comes up to give you the prayer card... The boys will come up before you first and take these prayer cards and mix them, every one, up before you. Then come out and give it. You might get number seven, you get forty-five and you get one hundred, and like that. The next man to you... They're all mixed up. So therefore when I come down, then that's double checked, that no one can say, "Well, they're selling prayer cards to get somebody in the prayer line." We can't do that.
See, they're just all mixed up together. And then the Holy Spirit goes right on out and picks out those out there that haven't even got a prayer card (See?), foretells things. No, see, it's just the idea to get somebody up here so I can get the anointing on--on me, and get the anointing on you, get the Holy Spirit...
