L-1 It's a... deem this another great privilege to be here in the--this auditorium tonight to--in the service of the Lord.
And now, tomorrow night is a special night for prayer for the sick, for the, I believe they give over mostly to the people that are... They're going to--going to come from the hospitals and things.
Usually in the meetings when we have it set up, we have a--an emergency room that where that when they have a big meeting where they--the people can get in and be prayed for each time when they come, that can't get into the prayer line. We have a room that... Maybe they've come for--flew in by plane or something for hundreds of miles and just have to be there that one night and go back. So we always try to catch them all. But when we're having this type of service, I--I feel that every person that's in the building is prayed for each night (See?), because as I try to make it plain (You see?), that--that if there was...

L-2 I--I see a, like a man setting here in a wheelchair. If I knowed that there... If I could take a quarter and push it with my nose around this city, have that man to get up out of that chair and be made well, I'd do it. Sure, I'd certainly do it. And now, maybe he will live an ordinary lifetime setting in that chair. But maybe there's a man setting out there somewhere that's got heart trouble, and just a few hours from now he's going to be dead unless something helps him. He's in a more critical condition than this man setting in the chair. Then I would push the quarter, certainly, around the city with my nose which would take me days to do it, if... But... And I'd probably have no nose left when I got through pushing it around. But I would do it to see that poor mortal healed.
So I--I cannot heal anyone. I never have healed anyone, but I have seen tens of thousands healed. And so I--it's... Only thing I try to do is to get them to have faith in what's already appropriated for them. So when you see... You just think. If Jesus came here tonight and was wearing this suit of clothes that He gave me, and you'd walk up to Him and say, "Lord, will You heal me?" He would perhaps look astonished at you. He'd say, "You're a believer in Me? Do not you read the Scriptures?"
"Yes, Lord."
"Well, did not you read that where I purchased your healing at Calvary? See, I have already done it, my..." If you...

L-3 Here's what it is. If you ever seen anything in a pawn shop, and then you go and redeem that from the pawn shop, you cannot redeem it the second time. It's already redeemed. If someone gives you a ticket, where the price has been paid, and that article is redeemed, it's redeemed. You don't have to pay for it the second time.
There's where Moses made his sin by striking the rock the second time instead of speaking to it. See? He smote it the first time. What did it speak of? The weakness of the Blood of Jesus that He'd have to be smitten for each individual. Christ was smitten for our healing. We just speak to the Rock now and it brings forth Its healing.
