<TITLE>02. Par 8-17</TITLE>L-8   Now, the Lord willing, next Sunday morning, not knowing now what I will speak on, but I trust that the Lord, if He lets us live and nothing happens, and it be His will, we aim to speak another Message next Sunday morning, have prayer for the sick next Sunday night. Then it falls my lot to return back home to Arizona, to take the family back so the children can register in school. Then you'll be... We'll notify you, just as we can, of the meetings as they mature, or the times that we... places that we aim to be. So, God bless you all.

L-9 Now tonight, knowing that it's... I'm fifteen minutes late, to begin with, quarter till eight here in Jeffersonville; and that's about a quarter to nine at the East Coast, and then it's about five o'clock on the West Coast. So now we are just about sundown here. And I want to speak to you for just a short service, to try to find the anointing of the Spirit, and then call the prayer line.

L-10   And I want the congregation here, as well as the congregation assembled at other places, find some man, some brother that's anointed by the Spirit; and when we start praying for the sick, go lay hands upon those that's in your congregation. Remember, God is omnipresent; He is everywhere. So, down in Texas, over in California, up in Arizona, wherever you are, lay hands on those that are sick when we start praying for the sick. And I'm sure God will hear and answer prayer.

L-11 Strange thing, last Sunday night, and the anointing was going on, and the Holy Spirit... It was quite a thing. I hadn't had a--a line of discernment for months and months, since I was here the other time. And then to walk up there under a promise... You don't know that He'll do it. You can't say He'll do it. You've just got to walk up there and wait. He is sovereign. He does what He wants to. But stand there and wait to see what He will do, then feel It break through on you like that.

L-12   And at the end of the--the meeting, not knowing who it was, but there had been a--a man somewhere along the line that was tall, and bald on top, and he was a very sick person.

L-13 And then right at last, there was a man appeared here on the platform, and had his head down, and looked like he was suffering, holding himself around the stomach. And I thought that must be that first man or second man, or when ever it was that I prayed for him, 'cause he was bald and was holding his head down; a large man, stooped over. But I looked around and I found the gentleman sitting out there, but he was rejoicing. I thought, "Where is it?" I couldn't decide where it was at. I could feel it and see the man before me.
I felt it pull around this way, and it was coming from back. I looked at Brother Neville and these two sitting here, it wasn't them. I said, "The man is on the inside of that baptistry back there." And you know who it was? Brother Shepherd. The reason I couldn't recognize him, he was sitting back there with his head bowed, praying.

L-14 He thought he was going to die, has thought that for the last few weeks. His wife told him go get a new pair of shoes, and he said, "I won't need them. I won't be here that long."

L-15   And he met me the other day in the... up there in the yard, Brother Wood's, a shouting and praising God. Said, "I'm eating bacon, eggs, tomatoes, anything I want."

L-16 And humbly giving up his seat, getting back in there out of the way, and praying. See, you don't need a prayer card, you only need faith. See?
Now, I didn't know whether he was healed or not, I just said, "A--a man, praying, he's got something wrong." I think It called what it was, "Stomach trouble, and praying back behind here. The Lord Jesus make you well." Now, that's all I could tell. The pull was that he was praying. I could see it, but what happens I don't know. See?

L-17 But when you hear It come back, everybody is aware, when It says, "THUS SAITH THE LORD," see, that's not me speaking no more then; that's Him.
