…Christ’s Name. Amen. [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] If the people could just believe, have faith for all things… Today, way down on the highway many miles below here, almost to Jeffersonville, there was…I stopped in a little place to eat a sandwich…Taking my children, wife home…And I was eating and the phone rang. And from way back in another district, there was—someone had seen the car going down the roads with the signs on it, and I stopped at the restaurant to go pray for a woman who was nigh unto death. And as I was ministering to the lady, what a—a pity I—I thought…That she was just so close to being healed and yet that little precious part of faith was blocked so she couldn’t get over it. Oh, if she could just only have seen, she’d been setting here tonight. The Holy Spirit there, perfectly willing, wanting to do it, already had did it…All that can be done, has been already appropriated for every one. All your salvation’s already complete: Christ died at Calvary. That settled it. Your healing was completed the same day your salvation was, if you can just believe it. Now, I appreciated one thing in the woman: that she was sincere. She didn’t say she believed when she knew she did not. She was honest about it. She said, “I just can’t seem to grasp the faith.”
