Now, in these meetings I do not wish to—that anyone would miss—be misinformed. I do not take—try to take the place of a medical doctor. This is not Mayo Clinic. This is the house of prayer. When medical doctors, God put them here; they’re doing a good job. But medical doctors does not claim to heal you, friend. They claim to assist nature with operations, and surgeries, and with medical remedies which is an aid to nature. But nature has to do the healing, and nature is God. God is nature. Now, therefore, we salute the doctor for his—how progressive he is, and how he has broke out into them realms and finding things to aid humanity. But now the time has come until seemingly many things, the sickness is heaping on every side. And I wish to make this statement also: that these things that I claim of praying for the sick, I do not claim to do one thing myself. I have no power within myself to do anything; I’m just a man, unlearned, uneducated, but I am sure that my testimony is right. That truly a supernatural Being came to me and made these statements, and I have not been disobedient to the heavenly vision.
