<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>62-0622B, Letting Off The Pressure, Clifton's Cafeteria, Los Angeles, CA, 50 min
L-1 Numbered among a group like this, to be here this morning again. Brother Shakarian... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] The Lord spared his life. It certainly was news to me when I heard about it. But I'm so glad that the thing that we preach about, it also works among us, to see that God heals the sick and the afflicted.
And we just got a few moments, and about two minutes to speak. And then I'd like to pray for those in radio-land, and those who are needy.

L-2 We just left Southern Pines, North Carolina, where the Lord did a great miracle. One night when we was coming in... It was too late for the little lady who had arrived with a water-head baby to get a prayer card and get in the line. But she was standing behind the curtains with this precious little child, the tears streaming down her cheeks, like only a mother's love could go for a baby. And its little head was swollen in such a condition, its little eyes pushed out, great big veins over its head, and some kind of a shots that the physician had to give it each day in order to live through that day.

L-3 And as I passed by I looked over and seen the mother with the little baby, and I said to Billy, my son, "That poor little fellow..."
And he said, "And, daddy, she asked me for a prayer card." And said, "She--she was too late. I'd done give them all out."
I said, "Well, just tell them to sing the song again and ('Only Believe') and let me run down and pray for the baby."
And I went down and prayed for the little fellow and asked our Lord to be merciful to it. And the lady taken the little fellow home that night. And the next morning when she rose up, to her surprise, to look at the little fellow, the big veins was gone. The head was practically normal.
So she rushed it over to the doctor right away, and the doctor was so amazed, and he said it... He checked its blood, or what-ever they had to do for this shot. "Why," said, "it doesn't need it any more."

L-4 And it made quite a stir around through the country. Just another testimony to the glory of God, to know that He--He answers prayer when the hearts are sincere and want to believe on Him. There's nothing too great for Him to do. And I believe that He just loves to do that for His people.
Now, they're going to hand me a group of requests, just in a moment, for those who called in on the phone and--to be prayed for. And you out in the--the radio-land, I want you to be ready, and be in expectations. And be perseverant that you're going to hold on to the promise of God, because the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and God shall raise them up. That's the Scripture.

L-5 And if you could only stand in this heavenly atmosphere that I'm standing in this morning, here in Clifton's Cafeteria, where there's literally hundreds of people pressed in here, all believers believing and is going to join in prayer with me to pray for you and for your loved ones. Whatever it is, why not just hold it up before God now and believe that God's going to hear us and answer prayer.

L-6 Now, you must continue with the faith that you have when you feel the Presence of the Lord is with you. Now, many people wonder what happens when they--seem like they are healed, and then after while they don't feel that way. But it's because that when prayer is being made, and the Presence of the Lord with you, faith mounts up. And then when faith leaves, well, then something's happened to you. You must remain with that faith. Don't never let that feeling leave you. Just always remember that God has answered. It's His Word. He just cannot go back on that. He must keep His Word. And in an encouragement to you, knowing that God made the promise...
