<TITLE>26. Par 267-278</TITLE>L-267 That's five, six, seven. Six, hold up your hand if you got it, six. Fine. Seven, number seven? All right. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen. Fourteen?

L-268 Now, wait a minute, I seen two. I'm mistaken. It's a man and woman going the other way. I thought it was getting up, to come up.

L-269 Let's see, twelve. Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. Fifteen? Fifteen? Fifteen.

L-270 Well, let--let's start at these, 'cause we'll get them all. We get every one of them, the Lord willing, just in a little while. But just... Let's just wait a few minutes till we--we can find out whether we--we can get it or not. All right, everybody feeling good.

L-271   Now, how many in here does not have prayer cards? Let's see your hands. All right. Now be reverent. Watch this way. Pray. Now, remember, this is our last meeting. Now let's be real reverent. Watch this way.

L-272 Now, while they're making that prayer line ready over there, let's say this. Let's go back a few years. Let's see the Lord Jesus one time, after He crossed the sea. He landed at the shore on the morning, out of the boat, and He was going up into the country. And a little woman who had a blood issue, she had no prayer card.

L-273 Say, I believe we're... Somebody has turned the lights out. Is that for a certain purpose, or what? Or is it automatically going off? Did they... Is that for us to leave? [A brother says, "No. Something happened over here."--Ed.] Oh, some, some... Oh, they're coming back. Somebody made a mistake, outside, and turned the switch. All right.

L-274   Notice now our Lord Jesus. Now, how many understands this? We're not trying to say that we're the Lord Jesus. Anybody understands that. All right. We are your brothers. See? We are His servants. But, it's just a gift, to submit yourself.

L-275 Now watch this. Here is men that are--are--are--are theologians, trained men in the Word. Now, brethren, when you all start to preach a message, if you just try to make it up, yourself, it doesn't do any good. Does it? But when you get inspired, you--you, It just some way just coming down. You don't know what you're going to say. Is that right? [The ministers say, "Amen."--Ed.] That's preaching by inspiration, you see. That's the Holy Spirit. Now, I, I'm not eloquent enough to do that, in that manner. See?

L-276   But, now, what mine is, is just a gift, to know just how to, like, pull a lever, and just get yourself out of the way. And it's just a complete surrender. I can't explain it. No man can explain God. I can't tell you how, what happens, and what goes on. I just know it's a little gift. And I just have a way of just getting myself out of the way. And then, all at once, I begin to feel something strange, sweet, humble. And, look, I see that Light circling around. Then I know it's all right. That's the reason I wait. And then when someone goes to talking...

L-277 That's the reason I have someone up here, more like a decoy, see, to get one person singled out, so I can talk to them. And then when the Holy Spirit begins to move upon this person, then it begins to catch the audience. And then the audience begins to--to wonder, then they begin to get faith. Then, whoever has faith, then you just begin to feel it here, there, everywhere then. See? Then just... There is, it just proves it.

L-278   Now, remember, it's a very hard, wrecking thing. Jesus would preached all day; it didn't bother Him. But when that little woman touched His garment, and went out and set down, it took virtue out of Him. Is that right? Well, anyone knows virtue is strength. Well, if it would do that to the virgin-born Son of God, what will it do to us as sinners saved by His grace? See? See?
