<TITLE>28. Par 117-120</TITLE>L-117 But how many now, of you people in the prayer line, that's standing there, you that's got the prayer cards, standing in the line, will raise your hand to God, that you have accepted Him as your Healer? Raise up your hand. The rest of you, if there's some out here that was not in a prayer line, that wants to accept Him as your Healer, raise your hand. God bless you.
Now, the Bible said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay hands on the sick they shall recover." Is that what He said? Well, then there's some kind of a--a Spirit here, there's some power that knows who you are, knows all about you. Isn't that right? He knows everything. Why, He... If He promised to do that, and He keeps that promise, He will keep every promise.

L-118 Now, if you do not believe, remember, don't come in the prayer line. Now, brethren, I wish about half of you on one side here, come down this way. That's right. Same way here, that's like every other one, make a double line. That's fine. You two ministers? All right, here help them off the platform, somebody down there help them off.
Now, before you start the prayer line, Billy, wait just a minute; let's pray.
Listen, friends. I want to ask you brethren. I've got perfect confidence in you as my brethren. I know you're men of God, called of God. I'm trying to let this audience know, that they don't have to wait for somebody to come by, some special gift. Gifts don't heal. Gifts only declare God. You are ministers who know the Word a lot better than I do. So your gift is to do that, and that's the original way, believe His Word. He sent His Word and heal them. That's the way it's supposed to be. But then, God's so good, and makes such promises. If--if--if they can't believe the Word, then He shows them a sign that it's Him there. That's what it's for. That's the reason I have you here.

L-119 And now, just think. What if my mother was standing in that line, or what if your mother was standing in that line? What if my wife was in that line or your wives was in that line? What if my child was standing in that line and your child was standing in that line?
Audience, what if you were my mother, or my father, my brother, and my sister, my wife, or child? And what if that was... This other was yours? Now, the power of the church is to come together and pray. Now, we can pray and then lay hands on the sick. You remember Peter went over and prayed for Dorcas in the corner, then he got up from his prayer, went, and laid hands on her; and she come to life after being dead. We've offered prayer, and then go through the ritual of laying hands on the sick, just like ministering baptism or anything that brothers do, the same thing.
Do you all solemnly believe that? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
Now, let's bow our heads. Now, brethren pray, everybody.

L-120 Our heavenly Father, this is the climax. We have preached Your Word, which You ordained us to do. We have seen sinners raise their hands and become Christians. We've seen lukewarm raise their hands and unite again with You in fellowship. We heard the saints crying and shouting. We seen the Holy Spirit move in among us, and confirm the Word, and to prove according to the Word that I preach, that He made It do just exactly what He promised it would do.
Lord, these people want to be healed. And I'm trying to tell them, just as sure as You make Your Word firm and confirm It, You've already healed them. They're all healed. And if You keep Your promises on one thing, You keep Your promises on all things. Now, You cannot heal them now, because they're already healed. But we got one more ritual to go through; that's to lay hands on the sick. Your last thing, You... Last commission You give to the church, and this is the last meeting in this revival. We're taking the last commission. "These signs shall follow them that believe; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover."
