<TITLE>05. Par 15-18</TITLE>L-15 So God is just as much God tonight as He ever was. If He isn't still the same as He was, He never was. See? But He's got to be the same yesterday, today, and forever. That is true. We believe Him like that. We believe He heals the sick, He saves the lost, He fills with the Holy Ghost those who have hungry hearts and waiting for Him.
And one thing I might say to this... And I know this Open Bible Standard church believes in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, because I know Brother DeWeese and them, that I've had meetings for, and, oh, how many of the fine brothers.
Then I--I want to say this: that you take a person that doesn't know right and left hand... Standing there, women, no clothes on at all, just a clout, don't even know what right and left hand is or nothing, but let them receive the Holy Ghost, you speak to them, and they see something happen, and then ask and receive the Holy Ghost, they do the same thing you do right here when you get the Holy Ghost. Shows that It's for everybody, and It's the same Spirit. They act the same way and do the same things. Goes to show that it--He's universal. He's God's Holy Spirit, and we're thankful for Him tonight for our Comforter.

L-16 Seeing that you got sickness, wonder if you could give away a little while tomorrow, and we'll give out some prayer cards, and have prayer service for the sick. Would that be all right? Is it okay with the ministers, everybody? Sometimes we have to watch. I hate to say it, but many of our Full Gospel people are getting away from praying for the sick. They don't believe in it no more. What say? [A man says, "We still do around here."--Ed.] Thank the Lord for that. That's good. All right. The Lord willing then--then, we'll--we'll do that.
Now, so many... I was turned out of a church here just not long ago, and a fellow told me said, "Any..." I asked him for some seats to go in an--a auditorium, where we had to move the meeting to be, for the people to get in. And he refused to let us have the seats, and said he wouldn't even let anybody set on his seats that even believed in Divine healing. That's Full Gospel too, supposed to be. It ain't Full Gospel; it's just supposed to be, carrying that brand.

L-17 I love Him. Now, before we approach His Word, let's approach the Author of the Word as we bow our heads in prayer. I feel we all know each other. We are not strangers. We are brothers and sisters. I want you to not be nervous, want you be... Now, you sick people, pastors has give us the right of way now, that we can go to praying for the sick. If you went to Mayo Brothers to find out your trouble, you know how long you'd wait? You'd probably wait two months to get a place in. Then they'd take about two weeks to take you through the clinic. And when you got through the clinic, you'd only know, if they could find it, what was wrong with you. But if you will just be patient, believe on Christ, then watch what will happen. You will be healed. I'm not here to deceive you; I'm here to help you.

L-18 Now, all in here that has... Beneath their hand, as I ask you to raise, if there's a request to be known to Christ, would you just raise your hand. I don't care what it is, just raise your hand, saying in your heart now, "Lord, I have need of healing, salvation. I have need of..." whatever it is. I'm sure He sees all around. Now, that's--let's pray.
