<TITLE>04. Par 11-14</TITLE>L-11 Now, the first... Now, many people has called me a Divine healer, and other men have that. Brethren, surely you know better than that. If you believe... If your pastor preaches salvation, and you get saved, because salvation is in the Bible, and when you get saved under his preaching does that make him a Divine Saviour? No more did it make any other man a Divine healer who preaches healing, because we're only... we are confessing what Jesus said.
And Jesus is a High Priest of our confession, sitting at the right hand of God to make intercessions upon our confession. I know the King James says profess, and confess is the same word, but a confession. And He cannot do anything for you, until first you believe it, accept it, and confess that it's right. Then He's the High Priest to make intercessions on what you confess that He has done for you. That's just as plain as I know the Gospel. That's... Frankly that--that's all I... That's the only Gospel that there is, is that. Now, everybody that understands that...

L-12 And another thing I want to say, before I ask... or say again. Now, first, faith cometh by what? Hearing, and hearing the Word of God. Now, at... That ought to be sufficient. It would be for me, it would be for you. If they don't believe your word, let them alone. But that isn't so with our Lord Jesus. No, it isn't so.
He sends gifts in the church. There's no one can deny that gifts isn't in the Church of the living God. I Corinthians 12 says there is nine spiritual gifts in every body, and there's also five spiritual offices in the church; First, there's apostles or missionaries. Both of them means... The word means "one sent." Apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, evangelists, they are all God's ordained gifts to the church. Pastors, evangelists, prophets, and missionaries or apostles, into the church. Those are sent there, and then nine spiritual gifts put in every local body.

L-13 And why would some of you people, as great a church as the Presbyterian church, I have their folder, said, "Long has the Presbyterian church forgot the principles of the early church. We must get back into the Presbyterian church speakers with tongues, interpreters of tongues, gifts of healing. And the signs of the early church must again accompany the church--accompany the church, or we'll never go any farther." God bless the man who wrote that. We've got to go back to the original beginning. We just denominated it and made man-made dogmas until we got the poor people, till they don't know what to believe. It's a pitiful sight.
Now, remember that what Christ was yesterday, He is today. And anyone knows, that reads the Bible, that His sign that He proved to the people that He was the Messiah... How many knows what His Messiahic sign was, after this week's of teaching? Raise your hand. How many's here for your first time then? Oh, many. How He proved that He was the Messiah is because He was a prophet, for Moses said that He would be this prophet.

L-14 Now, I'm going to speak, and immediately, as quick as I can, we're coming in then to pray for the sick. Now, remember, it's not just going to be my prayers; your prayer. And please, my friends, that's come here sick and afflicted, very, very bad; setting, some of you, in wheelchairs; some of you almost dying, I suppose; some sitting out there in the audience, and not a chance to live outside of God; just remember, what I say here, I've got to meet you with that message at the day of the judgment and give an account for it.
What good would it do me to be here, away from my family and loved ones? What--what would I be doing here? I--I don't take money. It's not popularity. It's... I don't... I shun that. You know it. So what--what's it for? It's because that God told me, sent me, and showed me in the Scripture and confirmed it by an Angel of the Lord, that I was born to pray for sick people. And because that I love God and love His children, that's why I'm here tonight. Exactly right.
