<TITLE>16. Par 163-171</TITLE>L-163   Did all of them come in, Billy? Got two out, three out? What say? [A brother says, "Three more."--Ed.] Three more? Number three, prayer card number three. What, how, what is the Mexican word for that, three? Anybody can say it? [Someone says, "tres."] All right, surely they heard it. What, that, ever who has got that prayer card, come into the line, will you? Oh, yeah. Oh, I think it was somebody had it, and didn't know it, and they moved back. All right. Now, now how about...

L-164 Does everybody believe now with all your--with all your heart? Well, let's pray again then.

L-165   Lord Jesus, now we realize that we can read the Word, with our best of our knowledge, explain It. But, Lord, You're the only One can confirm It. You're the only One can say that It's right or wrong. And, Father, I pray today that You will let the eyes of the people be opened. May we see a paradox this afternoon, just, Lord, enough to let the people see that You are present, that You are not--not out of existence, that Your Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever. For, You are that Word. For the sake of the sick, Lord, for the sake of those who are suffering; many probably are here from different parts of the country, parts of the nation, they must... they're suffering so, they couldn't enjoy the meetings, otherwise, if they wasn't healed. I pray that You'll heal them. Grant it, Lord. And now we are only physical human beings, and can only preach the Word and say what You said to be the Truth, now Thou art the One to make it real. I pray that You'll grant it, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-166   Now I'd just like for your undivided attention, just for a moment, and if everyone will just be seated now for a few minutes. Now, as far as I know, course, I don't know anyone that I can see in the--in the building, that I would know out there. Now, you don't have to be here to be healed, anyone knows that. See?

L-167 There was a little woman, one time, she couldn't get a prayer card, we'd say, and she touched His garment. And He turned around and looked, and said, "Who touched Me?" And they all denied it. And He looked around and seen this little woman. She couldn't hide herself, 'cause, see, the Spirit of God, that was in Him, led Him. He was the Word. And It led right to her, and He told her what her trouble was. She had a blood issue, and she was healed. She believed it. And immediately, in her body, she felt that the blood issue had staunched, (is that right?) had stopped right there.

L-168   Now He is just the same today. You don't have to be here. Now, the Bible said that in the New Testament now, that, "Jesus Christ is our High Priest." Do we believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The only High Priest we have, the only Intercessor we have between God and man, is the Man, Christ Jesus. Do you believe that? ["Amen."] And the Bible said, "He is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmity." Is that right? ["Amen."] How many know that true? Raise your hand so they... All right. I'm not among strangers, on this Word.

L-169 Now how would He act if You touched Him? He would act the same that He did when He was here, because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-170 Now you just believe. You just say, "Now, Lord, I've been in meetings I've been, but I'm just going to believe, today. I--I'm not even going to take no thought of myself. I'm just going to believe with all my heart, that You're here. And I have a need, and You just... You help me, Lord." See? Now you do that. Don't get nervous; just--just calmly faithful.

L-171   A gift of faith is not something you take and do something with. A gift of faith is you just get yourself out of the way. The gift is getting your ownself out of the way.
