<TITLE>21. Par 86-89</TITLE>L-86 If you can't get up now, just let somebody... Tell somebody next to you. Raise your hand. We'll pack you up here. We'll see that you get up here. Say, and say... Somebody say nine in Spanish. How do you say it?...?... Nueve, 9. Number 9. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Number 9? Sorry. I'm sorry, sister. Number 9.
Number 10, 11. Come right down here, sister. Prayer card 11. Is the lady standing up there 11? 12, 13, 13, 14, 14? I didn't see it, I don't believe. 14? 15? Prayer card 15, would you raise your hand. Prayer card 15? How many we got? Let's start right there.

L-87 Now, every one of those people could raise up and walk. Now, for instance, I don't see any cripples setting here, 'less it's the lady setting there in the chair. If I said the lady, which, I know her... If I'd say that lady's crippled, why, you'd say, "Sure." What about this lady setting here? or this one here? Now, how many of you do not have a prayer card in the meeting, and yet you believe Jesus Christ will make you well? Let's see you raise your hands. All of you, everybody's that's got prayer cards, just everywhere.
Now, look. While they're getting those people together, I'd like to have your attention. One day there was a lady passed through a--a group of people. And say, she didn't have a prayer card, but she believed if she could touch the border of His garment, she'd be made well. How many knows the story? We all do. Sure, that's fine. If she could touch the border of His garment... Now, and she made her way through, and she touched His garment.

L-88 And now, I don't believe He could've felt it physically, because the Palestinian garment holds... It's got an underneath garment, and then it's a robe that hangs out like that. And she touched the border of it.
And Jesus turned around and said, "Who touched Me?"
And Peter rebuked Him. It sounded not like a--a--not an intelligent question. Said, "Why, Master. Everybody is touching You." ("Hello, Rabbi. Glad to see you." "Hello, there, prophet. We're glad to see You." Oh, like that.)
He said, "Who touched Me?"
Well, said, "You speak strange." He rebuked Jesus.
Jesus said, "But I perceive that I've gotten weak. Virtue (strength) has gone from Me. I got weak." And He looked all around through the audience, and He found the little woman. How many knows what was wrong with her? She had an issue of blood, and had had it for many years. And He said, "Thy faith has saved thee."
Now, the Greek word there, "sozo," which means the same as for the physical as... "Thy faith has saved thee."

L-89 Now, the Bible said that Jesus Christ is the High Priest right now (You believe it?), High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right?
Well, if He's the same High Priest, how would He act? The same as He did then. That'd make Him the same High Priest, yesterday, today, and forever. Just, there's no way of getting away from it. The... If the Bible declares anything, it's the truth. Is that right?
Now, what--what happens here? Now, a gift... Now, the Bible said (for these minister brothers), the Bible said that God has set in the church five different gifts. Is that right? God has. Now, there's nine gifts in the--in the local church just on one or the other, but five ministerial gifts: apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, evangelists. Is that right? Five spiritual gifts. Now, those gifts are for the perfecting of the church, to keep the church in order--pastors, and teachers, and evangelists, and prophets, and so forth. Now, it's gifts.
Now, no matter how much these men here are gifted to preach, you've got to also believe what they preach, or it isn't going to do one good. They could just preach on and on, and on, you'd never get saved. You'd die right in the pew, and be lost (That's right.), setting right there. That's right. You've got to believe what they're saying. Well, no matter what God would do here in a way of a prophetic gift, you have to believe it too.
