<TITLE>19. Par 203-209</TITLE>L-203   But the hour is come that every kingdom has to give away, because there is a Kingdom of God that's established in the human heart, by the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Presence of Jesus Christ. And Christ will come to His Bride and will set up a Kingdom here on earth, that will never be diminished. How do you get into this Kingdom? You are borned into it. How do you know it? You just keep... How would you belong into a kingdom and disagree with the king? See, you would be... And the King is the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us. The same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-204 How did they know He was the Son of man? He'd look out there upon the audience and perceive what they were thinking about. We know that's true. He is the same today. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-205   Did Billy give out any prayer cards? That's one I forgot to ask him. Did he give out prayer cards? [Congregation says, "Yes."--Ed.] Did he give out prayer cards? All right.

L-206 I'll tell you. If you've got faith enough, I've got faith to believe that God, Who made the promise, can prove Hisself to be God right here, without any person coming to this platform. I feel to take the initiative, on account of the promise of the Word of the living God. Look at here, let me show you something. This quickening power, we're going to exercise It. Let me show you. How many believes you got that quickening power? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Well, what's the matter with your hands upon the sick?

L-207   When them disciples received quickening power upon them, on the Day of Pentecost, what did they do? They went out and layed hands on the sick, and they recovered. Jesus said, in Mark 16, "It'll continue on to the end of the world." How long, to the apostles' age? "Go ye into all the world, preach the Gospel to every creature. These signs will follow them that believe; if they lay their hands upon the sick, they shall recover." That's the quickening power like was on Elijah's bones, Elisha's bones. And the same quickening power is upon the saints that raised them up. If that same quickening power is in us, lay your hands on the sick, they shall recover.

L-208   I've noticed here, I've almost quit having discernment, anymore, just lay my hands on the sick. I've been noticing when, my, things I never... I didn't get to one-third of the people, otherwise. This way, I get to more than I ever did get to. And I find out a better results, by just getting myself into God's arms, and saying, "Lord God, You promised it. It's Your promise; it's not mine, it's Yours, and You promised You would do it. And I've seen You do it. And I'm going to believe You're going to do it, because I've been baptized into Your Body, and Your Spirit here to identify that that's the Truth." Amen. That's the place of worship. Then you get into a place, "all things are possible." Then you get into a place that your--that your motives and objectives, for your achievements, is just exactly in the will of God. And when you lay your hands there and believe it, it's going to happen. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-209   I believe, before one prayer card is called, or anything else, that God Almighty can tell me what you've got out there, and what you ought to do, and what you ought not have done. That's taking the initiative, right, I know that's right, but that's exactly what God would have us to do. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] How many would believe it if God would do it? ["Amen!"]
