And if you ever want to do anything for me that’ll please me, you pray for me. That’s the…That’s one thing that I—I want you to do, pray for me, ’cause I know prayer changes things. It even changes God’s mind about things, changes God’s program. Do you believe that? God can pronounce a certain thing. It’s going to be just that way. And prayer will change His mind about that. It has been done. Remember when Hezekiah was going to die, and the prophet went up and told him to get his house in order? And then the…Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and wept bitterly before the Lord. Said, “Lord…” He’d walked before Him all those years with a perfect heart. And he wanted to be spared fifteen years. And the prophet was done gone. But the Spirit of the Lord come upon the prophet, said, “Go back and tell him I heard his prayer.” And after three days, he’s coming down off the bed. After three days, he’s coming off the bed. See, God could’ve took him off the bed right then, couldn’t He? Don’t you believe that? But we have to know God’s program and things, just how He is.
