<TITLE>02. Par 8-17</TITLE>L-8   Now, many of you will be waiting over till in the morning, that's got a long distance to go, and I--I appreciate that--that effort. Some of you will drive home tonight 'cause you got to go to work by daylight, in the morning, and I--I know it's hard. And then when I think, and see that,...

L-9 I get spells too, you know; I get moody. I get to a spot to where I... What gets me, is where I get to those spells when I get all overworked, and Satan comes telling me, "Why, nobody cares for you. You really haven't got a friend in the world, see." And so that...

L-10 Remember, I'm not immune to the temptation. See, I got to overcome that. Then when I look back and see something like this, I put it right back in his face and say, "What about that?" That helps me to over--overcome. "What about that?"

L-11   Like a certain friend of mine, setting in--in the meeting here, there was a--a--a clan, kind of a--a clan that doesn't believe in Divine healing, come to this young fellow recently and said to him, "That stuff that they're preaching there about that Divine healing, there's nothing to it."

L-12 And this man lives in Kentucky, right near an old woman that, when we was at Acton Campgrounds, that was dying with cancer. And her sister came to the meeting that night with a handkerchief in her purse that she had taken, and the Holy Spirit called out the woman back there (and I'd never been in that country before) and told her that "she had a handkerchief in her purse, that she had there, she'd took from home, and her sister was up on a certain ridge there, dying with cancer of the stomach. The doctor's give her up." And I said, "Go put the handkerchief upon the woman, for THUS SAITH THE LORD, 'She shall live.'" And that's the night, the neighbors up there thought they had the Salvation Army, when Brother Ben got up there, and then put the... And--and then that lady was so perfectly healed until she does her own work and the neighbor's work.

L-13   So this young man, knowing that, he said, "Then explain her case! That settled it. Explain; you know she had cancer. She was here in Louisville and the doctors was perform the operation, and just simply turned, 'Sew her, put her back. Nothing can be done.' And now she's perfectly normal, well." Said, "Explain that." That settled it. See?

L-14 You know what the Bible said? "And they could say nothing amiss, because the man was standing right in their midst, on whom the miracle was done on." That's where we... It puts Satan to a shame, doesn't it? The man was standing there that the miracle was performed on.

L-15 Does God raise the dead? Here sets a man, right here, raised from the dead. God heal the sick? Oh my, the hands could just go everywhere. God heals the sick. And we know He's the great--the great I AM, not the great "I was" or "will be"; I AM. That's right. I AM, that's "ever present, everywhere, all the time"; the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-16   Now, to hurry, let's turn now into the blessed Bible. I want to read a--a passage that--that used to just "turn me around" when I read it. And I want to have a prayer line tonight, and pray for everybody that wants to be prayed for.

L-17 And now we're going to turn to Mark, St. Mark, the 11th chapter of St. Mark. And we're going to begin to read about the--the 22nd verse of the 11th chapter of St. Mark. And many of you know this Scripture, It's very familiar. It was the Scripture I was thinking on, Brother Russell, when those... when He spoke to me and said about those squirrels. And they... that was just the very Scripture I was thinking on. It's always been a puzzle. He said, "If ye say"; not "If I say". "If you say!"
