<TITLE>05. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 And so, that's what makes it hard. Until I cross the border on the other side and meet you people again face to face, you--there's no need of trying to explain it. You just believe me as your brother. I--I try to work everything I can in love to you. Wouldn't I love tonight to take every sick person and say, "I can heal you." Oh, I--if I could take a quarter and put it on the street and push it across Hollywood, to Hollywood from here, to get you healed, I'd do it, I'd sure do it. But if I could get the Bible, built--build around faith enough to just a--a couple of things that you could see and recognize... See, we're so earthbound, all of us (I am too. See?), so earthbound till we don't realize that's it's Jesus Christ standing there. See?
Now, when that anointing comes, you can catch every person in here just exactly where the fears, where the flusterations, where--there it is, like a heartbeat coming to you. See? When... It isn't me; it's just become anointed; that's all. See? And it's just a--a gift that I have to just yield myself to the Spirit. I usually don't eat or anything, just keep yielding myself to the Spirit. And when they bring me here at nighttime, no one speaks to me. See, I come right in, go right out the same way. I stay in the room and pray till I can either hear it or know and see that Light moving in the room where I am. Then I just keep saying, "Thank you, Lord; I'm going there for one purpose, to help Your people. Now, You help me, Lord, whatever it is, give the people faith." And that--that's the way I do it. That's right.

L-14 And so then when it comes to just praying for the sick, by laying hands on them, I do that all the time of course. That's right. And now, that's one way, that's the--that's the old tradition way of the Jews to do that. And it's good; it pays off Oral Roberts and--and Tommy Osborn. Tommy Osborn I don't think lays hands on the people; he just explains to them the Word, and just catches the devil. He's such a scholar, till he can just put the devil in his place by the Word, and then let them pray for one another, make one committal prayer, and set back up there and let them come up and testify all night he says. It don't bother him a bit; he don't... And I met him here not long ago. Tommy's one of the finest fellows. Tommy Osborn is really one Christian gentleman, Brother Tommy Osborn: very sweet fellow. And he just--he's just got a hold on the Word from old Brother Bosworth.

L-15 He come to my house; he was up here. What started his ministry, is up there when that maniac run out to kill me (You've read it many times.) on the platform. And then--and he stood out there with his shoulders back, and spit in my face, and everything else, and said, "You deceiver," before sixty some odd hundred people. He said, "Up here imposing yourself as a servant of God..." said, "I'll break every bone in that little body of yours." Great big, two sixty pound. Well, you better know what you're speaking about. You better not speak at all; just let God do the speaking. I knowed He'd led me there.
And two little policemen I'd led to Christ back in a dressing room in the auditorium, run out to grab him. I said, "This is not a flesh and blood affair; just let him alone." So he run up there... Now, I'll tell you, if you ever get one speck angry, you better walk off the platform. There's only one thing will conquer any devil or anything else; that's love. That's the only way I can ever help anybody, is when I love them. And I can feel the love of them to me.
