<TITLE>16. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 Well, our thoughts are always negative. We come in the prayer line... I notice we've come in the prayer line... "Oh, if--if he will tell me... Is it this?" Oh my, you never get nothing like that. No. You're so negative to begin with. Come like that... "Come to the fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's veins, where sinners plunge beneath the flood lose all their guilty stains." That's it. Come with faith believing. "He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him."
I'm not going to go through Oral Roberts' prayer line, then go through Tommy Hicks' prayer line, then go through Osborn's prayer line and Allen's prayer line, Branham's prayer line, so and so's prayer line, go to this church and that church. Why, you're just wasting time; that's all. That's all. The thing to do is just--just say and make up your mind that it's God, and God said so, and I'm going to meet His requirements and that settles it forever. Amen. God said so. Go out to my pastor, say, "Pastor, the Bible tells us to call the elders, anoint them in oil, pray, the prayer of faith shall save the sick. That's all I have to know." Amen.

L-47 I got a letter back from a little woman in Germany not long ago. She'd been crippled about fifteen years with arthritis: couldn't move. I sent her a handkerchief. We send thousands of them a month out. And so, she got this little letter. And we got a prayer chain around the world. So she had--she read this, and she said, "Now, it says on here, 'If your pastor isn't there, or if he's an unbeliever, don't call him. See? But if there's a neighbor somewhere that is a believer, call the believer. Confess all your faults. Ask God to forgive you of everything you done. Get everything right. Then pray. Put the handkerchief on your underneath garment over your heart. Then believe.'" So she met all the requirements that was sent to her. And when she did, she put her hand over her heart. She said, "Now, old man devil, you've been in me long enough. Get out." Here she come walking...?... It's just that's simple. It's just that simple to believe.

L-48 Here in Arizona, we was out to the Indians, Apaches. I always felt sorry for the Apaches. And there they was out there that night. And they looked like an army setting out there, and I begin to speak to them about the Lord. And you know, the old Indian, he's kind of a odd fellow. He's like a mule: he won't eat out of the wrong straw--stall. So he listened to it, he thought it was fake first. And then he brought... I said... I called for the prayer line. Well, I heared somebody out there holler "Gloria a Dios." That was my Spanish friends. I knowed they'd have a prayer line if they was around, 'cause they'll--they always got faith to believe. So they was... But this was for Indians only.
And I looked around there, and the first thing... The Assembly of God woman back there, she had a little mission. I was standing up on a--on a steps like this, and all of them was setting out around. It was beautiful sight. And so she had some back in there. They brought the first woman out. Soon as she come out--great big wide wrists. She had a little baby on her back, and this little papoose back there. And I looked at her. And I thought I'd try to find favor. I said, "How about giving me the baby?" She wasn't going to do that. So I was just catching her mind. Now, I said, "Now..." To the interpreter, I said, "she has a venereal disease, but it's..." And so the interpreter said that. She looked at me real strong. I said, "Now, it wasn't caused from immoral living, but the way she had to live in dirt and filth like that." Well, she nodded her head that was right. I prayed for her.
