<TITLE>30. Par 84-87</TITLE>L-84 Now, you know I couldn't go down that line with discernment, I'd--I'd pass completely out 'fore I got halfway down it. Now, tomorrow night we're going to have discernment line down at the other place. Tonight we're going to pray for these people. How many of you in that line there are now solemnly, you see that how... I want to ask... You talk about a miracle, how would a man, a human being like me, know those things? I couldn't do it. How many of you believe that that's the very thing that our Lord Jesus did? You do? Well then, that anointing that I've told you about and preached to you the truth, now Jesus has come down and proved that's true. Is that right? Then He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Is that right? Now, that makes me a believer. Is that right? Now, what He said was to be a believer? "If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Is that right? Now, I want to show you something.

L-85 Pastors, evangelists, missionaries, how many of you all are believers? See? Now, I'm going to ask as many of you all that can, come right down here with me. See? I--I... Not let the evangelist have everything to do, the people... I don't want you to have your faith built into an evangelist. I want you to have your faith built in your own pastor. He's the man's going to lead from here out. See? And these men... Come down, some of you brothers. Come down here, let's form a double line. Yeah, a double line...
These men are men of God that believe. I'm going to stand right in the middle of them. And we're going to pray... How many out there's going to be praying for them too, out there? Put up your hand. Remember, there's somebody's mother, there's somebody's father, there's somebody's darling, somebody's child. Is that right? Well, what if it was you? What if it was your mother? What if it was your child? What if it was your sister, your wife, your husband? You'd want somebody be sincere, wouldn't you?

L-86 Now, we're going to pray, and all these men of God... Come right along here, brethren, if you would. Just come right down this way and form a double line. You know what? I'm going to tell you; it makes me proud in my heart and grateful to find servants of God that'll stand before the people and say, "I'm a witness of this Gospel too." Aren't you proud of your pastors? Say, "Praise the Lord" if you're proud of these pastors. [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] We're proud of our brethren. Amen. We're proud of them. They are your pastors. A "pastor" means "a shepherd." These--each of these man has just as much of the anointing to lay hands on the sick as I do.

L-87 Now, I'm not a preacher. They're preachers. They've got a higher office than I have. Mine's a prophetic office, and it's to prophesy. Now, they're not--they wasn't built for that. They wasn't ordained for that. But what does the Bible say? "God has set in the church, apostles (that's missionaries), prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists." Is that right? Them gifts ordained of God and anointed...
Now, I have no education; that's the reason I say I'm not a preacher. These men could take this Word, and they wouldn't have to use one of these gifts. They could just lay that Word out there so they'd tie Satan in such a knot he couldn't get out of it. See? But I can't do that; that's not my calling. They are called for that. Now, but they're--they're men of God. Every man that's called of God is commissioned to lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. How many believes that? Then how you going to fail from getting well passing through an arc like this?
