<TITLE>03. Par 17-23</TITLE>L-17 But my opinion, that if we can see the Presence and know that Jesus Christ is here, what more do you need, when the whole congregation is praying at one time? See? That's when the power of the Lord falls, when the Word is known. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing of the Word." When the Word is being preached, and It's the Truth, and God proving His Presence, that--that should do the work right there.

L-18   Now, now, tomorrow morning... Now, tonight, rather, pardon me, tonight I've just got a short subject, because we're going to pray for the sick. But tomorrow morning, now, I think I'm to have the Sunday school lesson. Is that right? It'll be all in the auditorium here, and I've got a--a--a subject that I would like, if the Lord willing, was... if He permits me. I have to say it that way, see. I think... if you--if you don't have your own Sunday school now. If you have your own Sunday school, go to your Sunday school. Want to hear It, they got tapes. So I'd have something on my heart, that I'd like to speak about, maybe would be a--a great help to you, understanding the--the reason of preaching the Gospel the way that I've tried to preach It and believe It. See, it's what the reason God has did. The mysteries of the Gospel has been hid since the foundation of the world, but was supposed to be revealed in these last days. And so, if the Lord willing, I want to speak on that.

L-19 Then, tomorrow night is the closing service, and we would like for you to come out if you possibly could.

L-20   Then from here to Yuma, and from Yuma to Phoenix, and then back. We leave from there, and then I'm going away on a little hunting trip, during the time of the holiday, Christmas holiday, with some friends of mine. My wife is going to visit her people. And--and then we're going from there, to take a trip through California, and down and up the west, the southern part of the states here, through Louisiana and Texas, and Florida. And then from there, overseas, the Lord willing, for a long itinerary. And I do solicit your prayers.

L-21   Now, it's, it would be fine if we could just enjoy the Presence of His healing power and everything, but there is more goes with it than that. See, more goes with it. And then, that's the thing, when you go to getting into something, that's, it crosses up people. Now, everybody believed in Divine healing, why, they would just fall right straight for that Divine healing, and say, "Praise God," and shout and have a great time. But then what about... That's just the bait on the hook, see, that's just the--the bait. The hook is what catches the fish, and the hook is the Word. Now, Jesus was a very popular Man as long as He just prayed for the sick.

L-22   Now, we're not Jesus, but it's--it's Him working through us, all of us, together. He is just not in one person. He is in every believer. That's how we believe unto Life. And then, in that, see, shows that no matter how much God would anoint me, right here at this platform, if He don't anoint you the same way, out there, nothing will happen. It takes both of us, together. We, we got to be, both, that we got to both be believers.

L-23 Unless there is something that He wants to call, just to show His great power, you know, let something be done that let somebody that's trying to do something that's not right, or something, He'd call that out. See, but you have to, we just watch that. Course, sometimes He tells us things, and people (tell) is told things that they don't want to hear. And I don't want to say it, but, if He is doing the talking, we just do the listening and then the--the repentance. Now think on these things, and pray.
