You have to really want it. Just like healing, if a person comes and they’re relying…Well, the doctor says, “Maybe I can pull you through in a few weeks.” It…Well, they—they won’t rely too much on God then. But when the doctor says, “It’s the end. It’s all that can be done,” then’s when people gets started really getting to praying, and getting right with God. You go to tearing down the—the suspicions and altars of other types, and get started getting right with God. And so in that last phase, and that’s the way usually you see miracles performed is when people gets in that desperate condition. Now, I—I hope that no one has to get in that desperate condition here. I hope that doesn’t exist in—in this country. I hope that it doesn’t exist among these people, and I am very, very happy.
