<TITLE>04. Par 27-32</TITLE>L-27 And we are certainly extending this invitation to you, to come to the Embassy Hotel tomorrow afternoon, to be prayed for. And not only that, but bring the ones that's sinners and those who are backslidden. If we just have prayer for the sick, and we do see God constantly doing great miracles, but that's secondarily. The main thing is to be saved, filled with God's Spirit, which I'm going to speak to you about just in a few moments here, and the sufficiency how that we must be filled with God's Spirit.

L-28   And Divine healing usually draws an attention to people, and brings them in the Presence of God. When God does something that--that they know is un-... well, it's not understood. We cannot mechanically show how it's done. God does it in His Own great way. Then that attracts the attention of the people, to know that there is a Presence of a Power somewhere, that can do something that's beyond human understanding, and that causes them to look to the Lamb of God. And always, Divine healing; I've been told, and I believe, myself, that about between sixty, maybe, and seventy percent, of our Lord's ministry, was on Divine healing. And He did that to attract the people. Then when they were there, He said, "Except you believe I am He, you'll perish in your sin."

L-29   Now, Divine healing is a great drawing card, to get people to look to the Lord Jesus. And Doctor F. F. Bosworth, which many of you was a friend to, and knew him, and his ministry meant so much to me as a young minister. I started out in my meetings, and I run into Brother Bosworth. He used to say, "Divine healing," it's a crude little statement now, he said, "Divine healing is the bait on a fishhook." Said, "You never show the fish the hook. You show him the bait, and then he gets after the bait and gets on the hook." So that's what we try to do. That's our... we... Our aim is to get people to the Lord Jesus Christ. And He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So if He was the Healer in the days gone by, He is the Healer today.

L-30   Just a personal testimony before I pray for the sick out in the radio land. It was a few days ago, I was sitting up in a mountains where a great thing had taken place before fifteen or twenty brethren there, where the Angel of the Lord came so down, and great Light flying like a comet, bursting around through the mountains, and rocks flying for two hundred feet, or more, across there, cutting the top of the trees out. And I was standing right under It. And told them just a few months before it happened, It would be there and what would happen; frankly, it was told the day before. And all these men running under trucks and everything, trying to get away. They didn't know what had taken place. And He spoke and said what would take place right immediately afterward.

L-31   Sitting on this certain rock there, right where He had appeared, I had a--a friend that was with us, that had come down from up in Minnesota. His people are here this morning and I'm not sure but what he may be here on some of the other floors. It was Donavon Weerts, and a fine young fellow, a Lutheran that had just give his life to Christ and been filled with the Spirit. Very humble German boy, about thirty years old, family, two or three little children. He moved down in Tucson just to be neighbors with me, where three or four hundred had moved in to be neighbors. So he...

L-32 And I'm glad to have such neighbors as that. They follow me all the way to South Africa, and everywhere around, just to be near and see the... with me, and to be with me and enjoy the pleasures of the Lord.
Such a humble fellow, I had never noticed him very much.
