<TITLE>06. Par 59-65</TITLE>L-59   And remember, there is no such a thing as any--any man, be doctor or minister, that's a healer. "I am the Lord thy God that heals all thy diseases," see, "all." No medicine heals. There is not no doctor claims medicine to heal. No, no. Medicine only keeps clean while God heals. Medicine cannot build tissue, cannot mend a bone. See? You might cut appendix out, but who is going to heal the place it come out from, see? Might pull a tooth, but who is going to heal the place it come out of? See? See it? God is the Healer, He is the only Healer. The Scriptures doesn't lie. They are perfectly right, so He is the Healer.

L-60   I'm very grateful for all the--the things that we got, like medicines that they can think of, that will kill germs. Nothing against that. I pray constantly for that. But we get some place, we don't have any medicine to help the case. And then another thing, sometimes, a medicine that will help one will kill the other one. See?

L-61 But I know a Toxin that's absolutely not a remedy, but a cure, that's the Blood of Jesus Christ. Faith in that Blood!

L-62   Now tonight, oh, we, did Billy... I forgot to ask him. I run in. Did he--he give out prayer cards, did he or didn't he? [Someone says, "Yes, he did."--Ed.] If he didn't, I was going to have him do it now. We are going to just talk a little bit about faith, and then--then go right ahead and call this prayer line up, and pray for the sick, by laying hands upon them, try to get every person in the building that we can. Now, you have faith now.

L-63   I want you to give me your undivided attention, just for a few moments, as I read this Word. And now I want to read from Saint Matthew's Gospel, the 15th verse... the 15th chapter, rather, beginning with the 21st verse. And this is not too much Scripture to read, you see, it's a little bitty text. But, you know, it--it isn't the--the... It isn't how much; it's the quality. Not the quantity; the quality! See, there is enough on there, in them few verses there, to save the whole world. Sure. See, it's not--it's not the size of it, it's what it is.

L-64   As I was telling here sometime ago, a--a little boy, I believe it was in this state, that was searching around an old attic and he found an--an old postage stamp. And--and he knowed a stamp collector, so he--he took it down to find out how much it was worth. And the stamp collector said... Oh, course, the little boy had ice cream in his mind, you know. He said, "I'll--I'll give you a dollar for it." Well, my, that was, the sale was made right away. I think he sold it for about, I think, it was five hundred; and it went on to, the last time we heard, I forget how many hundreds it was worth. You see, the little old stamp, the paper wasn't the thing, it was just an old piece of paper not even worth picking up. But it was what was on it, that counted.

L-65   That's the way with This here. This is just a piece of paper, but what's on it is the Word of the Lord, and that's what makes it so valuable. All right, 21st verse.
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said, I am not--I am not sent but to the... unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
But he answered and said, It is not meet for me to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto dogs.
... she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat... the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
