Now, look, I promised God, if it was His Divine will to perform all these miracles this afternoon, everyone that come before me. Is that right? How many remembers me saying that, say, “Amen”. And I told Him if it wasn’t His will, that I would know from here on, and would not permit it from this on for anybody to make miracle lines to come in front of the buil…in front of me first. How many heard me say that? Say, “Amen”. And there hasn’t been but one person come by here this afternoon, and they were pulled out of the miracle line, somebody pulled them up out there, that was healed of a deaf spell. Is that right? Now I’ve never seen it before in my life. Now by the help of Almighty God, I want no one to bring me anybody, that say, “Heal this person”, no more. God has permitted it to this day. And how many here has heard me say that the Angel of God met me in Vandalia, Illinois, that morning witnessed before the people. Stood there in a big rainbow in mist in the room, standing there before those people, and told me that I was confining too much of this gift of healing to working miracles. How many remembers hearing me say that? All right, I went right ahead just the same because the people would bring me this and say, “You take care of this and that.” And I have never in all my life, till this afternoon seen anything laid before the gift of healing without being healed. But I wanted to be sure that I was doing God’s will. It just so happened that today, and God’s knows that I wouldn’t be hypocrite enough to say it, that I come right down and preached to sick people myself. But Balaam, them men telling, “Come on, go anyhow. Curse this people. Curse this people.” If the—and the—last night I told you…night before last that the Angel of God was standing in the room where I was at; remember that? That’s enough witness for me people. I don’t want no one pulling anybody up say, “Heal this one, heal that one.” Let God witness…?…all right. Now that’s true.
