<TITLE>20. Par 61-63</TITLE>L-61 Now, ever who's got cards, hold, just hold them; they will be called.
Now, I suppose that ninety-nine percent of this audience is, perhaps, strangers to me. All that's in this audience that is strangers to me, raise up your hand. I guess here about a hundred percent. All right.
How many in here that does not have a prayer card, and you're sick, and you want God to heal you? You don't have a prayer card and I'm a stranger to you, raise up your hands, everywhere in the building, I don't care where you're at. Well, that's just about general everywhere. All right.
Now, while they're lining the people up, I'd like to say something to you. One time Jesus was going over to raise up a little dead girl, Jairus' daughter, and there was a woman who had an issue of blood. And she said within her heart, "I believe that He's Messiah. So if I can just touch the border of His garment, the hem of His garment, I'll be made well." How many ever read that story? Sure. And she touched His garment, because that was what she wanted to do. She believed Him, she'd never seen Him before, but she believed Him. As soon as she saw Him, she believed Him.

L-62 So then, she touched His garment. Now, He could not have physically felt it. The Palestinian garment hangs loose, and it's got an underneath garment. And then He could not have felt that. And the little woman touched His garment; everybody was shaking hands with Him, and so forth, and hugging Him. And so, He said then, she went out in the audience and set down, or whatever it was. And she said... He said, "Who touched Me?"
And Peter rebuked Him, said, "Lord, why did You say such a thing as that?" Said, "Everybody's touching You."
He said, "But I perceive that I have gotten weak." The King James says, "Virtue," which virtue is "strength." "I perceive that virtue has gone from Me." And He looked all over the audience until He found the little woman, and told her that she had had a blood issue, and her faith had saved her. Is that right?
Well now, to you people don't have a prayer card, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, would not He act the same way today if you touched Him? Is that right?

L-63 Now, how many... You ministers here know this, and you ministers and Bible readers out there, that the Bible said that Jesus Christ right now is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right? Right now He's a High Priest. Is that right, brethren? Well, if He is the same High Priest that He was then, how would He act now? If He's the same High Priest He was then, He'd act the same way. Is that right? Because He's the same High Priest. He's God; He can't change. He can't be different from what He was. If He--if He lets this Gentile church go through without having that same Messiahic sign, then He did something for them, the Samaritans and the Jews, that He didn't do to us, so that wouldn't be just. They couldn't get through on theology; they had to have a time to condemn their theology, to bring God's Word manifest to them in flesh. And so does the Gentile church is getting it now.
