<TITLE>24. Par 274-283</TITLE>L-274   And I said, "Heavenly Father," I said, "before me was a vision of a little baby, and maybe this would be the one. And if it is, I pray Thee, Lord, to honor this little woman's faith, to give her baby back."

L-275 And just then that little fellow let out a scream and begin to cry out, just as hard as he could. And the little woman, she didn't know what to do. So she... I told Brother Espinoza. I said, "Now don't you say it. And wait, you go and let a doctor sign the statement to that."

L-276   And in the Voice, the Christian Business Men's Voice, just recently, it appeared. See, before you write anything, you've got to have evidence that that's right. Doctor signed the statement, "The baby died, with pneumonia; all respiration left it, that morning at nine o'clock," in his office. And this was ten something that night, when it come back to life again, because a little woman was persistent.

L-277 If God could open the eyes of a blind man, He also could give her baby back. He is still the same God, tonight, friend. You've got to be persistent, to achieve something. What if she would have listened, and said, "Well, the baby is dead," and just give it up and go on? See? And see if that same faith that lived in the women like the Shunammite woman, it still lives in people today. Once in a while, they could strike that something. Not a put on, not a make-belief; but something that's real, something that's--that's genuine. Don't you think we can do that tonight? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-278   Now we are going to pray for the sick, laying hands upon them, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, to pray for them. Now we probably can have the line through in about, oh, perhaps twenty, thirty minutes. Now we can't stop for a discernment, you really understand that, because it would be so much. But we're going to pray and lay hands on the sick. Are you ready tonight? Do you feel, in your heart, something is anchored, the Presence?

L-279 How many has been here in the meetings through the week, let's see your hands. I guess practically all of you. All right. How many that's never been in one of the meetings before, raise your hands. Well, my, that's half. Well, I guess some can't get in. Well, let me just say to them... Course, some of them may have a prayer card.

L-280   Divine healing is something that God has already done. See, it's something. We believe, and I believe with all my heart, that the Bible of Hebrews 13:8, "that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever," He is the same. And I believe that the Life that was in Christ should be in us, if we're Christians. And He said, in Saint John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he do also." Said, in Saint John 5:19, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me." Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-281 Now here, for instance, here. Every one of you, as far as I know, is strangers to me. All right, I want everybody to be real reverent for a moment. And if Jesus Christ doesn't appear among us, in His same Power, then I'm a false prophet, don't listen to me no more.

L-282 How many here doesn't have a prayer card, you won't be in no prayer line, raise up your hand, anywhere you're at. You look this way, and pray with all your heart, and believe. This is a hard... Wasn't, didn't come prepared for this now, but I know we ain't got much longer to stay here.

L-283 Now I'm going to take every spirit in here under my control, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Now sit still. And if you don't believe, why, better keep your head bowed, see. See?
