<TITLE>04. Par 31-39</TITLE>L-31 By the way, our objective, mainly, is for you to see the Presence of Jesus Christ, and know that He is here. And then, while you're in His Presence, just accept Him as your Saviour and your healer. If you're not saved, accept Him as Saviour. If you're saved, and not healed, then accept Him as your healer. Then no one can say, "Brother So-and-so laid hands on me." No. You laid hands on Him, then that's the main thing. Now I want you to bear that in mind, all the time. It's you laying your... touching Him. And the Bible said, that, "He is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." And now remember that, it's you touching Him. Not...

L-32 The pastor got a right to lay hands on. Lay... Not only the pastor. "These signs shall follow them that believe," just believers, anybody lay hands on the sick, have a right to do that. It's identifying yourself with the person, in prayer. Just like you lay your hands, by faith, upon Christ, and identify yourself with your Sacrifice. So remember that now as the--as the week goes on, and pray sincerely.

L-33   Now, I think that just about covers it now. And then each night we try to get out early, just as early as we possibly can. Now, we're starting now at twenty-five minutes till nine, by my watch. And if the Lord willing, we want to be out every night at nine-thirty, or maybe before, so that you can have ample time, go to your homes and come back. Now if you're not prayed for, or don't catch it the first night...

L-34 My ministry may be a little strange to you. But if it's strange, don't just throw it off to one side. Sit down and consider it; take the Bible. Now, I believe that God can do things He never wrote here in the Bible, but I want Him just... If He'll just keep what He wrote Here, I'll be satisfied by it.

L-35   Cause, we're living in the days of all kinds of strange things, isms that's unscriptural. But, you know, in the days of Noah... Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah." You know, people perhaps built boats in them days, whether they were God-constructed or not, but they didn't float when the time come for it to float. So I like the Message to be God-constructed with the Scriptures, a Scriptural Message, and right there with It, everything with the Scripture. It's THUS SAITH THE LORD, then. And it's got to stand, because, it isn't my word that's in question, it'll be His Word that's in question. Bring it from the Scripture!

L-36 And we're in a changing dispensation. We're changing now. And every change, just like building a building, you come to the corner, you have to make that bend, it's--it's strange. Everybody wants to run right straight on down; you'd have just one big wall. But we're building a building. And we're come to corners, and you've got to change, those corners. As Brother Don Price so well, he... and so well stated it not long ago. At those changes is where the trouble comes, where the... It's hard on that corner, to make, cut that corner and make it just right.
Now just before we read the Word...

L-37   Each night, Brother Borders is the field manager, and he also speaks at the platform.

L-38 And Doctor Lee Vayle is here somewhere. I guess he got here. He met me in Kentucky, driving thirty miles an hour, breaking in another Ford. And so, coming down, and I met him. And he's the--the public relation man. He'll be speaking, I guess, somewhere at the meeting, some every day. So if there is any questions or anything, why, ask Brother Vayle, he'll be able to help you in these questions. All right. Now as we... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-39 Before we read the Word, I have a custom that we stand as we read God's Word. We stand when we play The Star-Spangled Banner, and pledge allegiance, why not stand while we read the Word of God!
