And—and as far as I know, the best of my knowledge, to all of the people that I—have come before me to be prayed for, there has never been one time in all my life that I can remember praying for the sick when I absolutely saw the vision and told them that the Lord Jesus had healed them but what was well. Now, I never seen it my…See, I never seen it…I seen… Many times I’ve seen the people on the platform and knew they were going to die: turns dark around them. And I—I know they’re not long. I’ll say, “Go, and may the Lord Jesus bless you. Go, and have faith in God.” Now, maybe He show me that that person, death is on the person, I can’t overcome it. Maybe if I could set down with that person awhile, talk with them, take a long time, twenty, thirty minutes, sometimes a hour, and just speak to the person till God will show the vision, then there may be something told to that person that would cause them to repent of something that—that’s maybe—or some promise they could make to God that would bring God’s favor to them and heal them, because many times God pronounces something and then He changes His mind on it. Did you know that? A king one time was told by the prophet that he was going to die. You remember that? And the prophet, after he give his message, walked right back out of the room, and the king turned his face to the wall and wept bitterly, said, “Lord, I beseech You. I’ve walked before You with a—with a pure heart.” And now he wanted his life spared for fifteen years so something to glorify God. And the prophet had done gone, but the Spirit of the Lord come upon the prophet after God done told him he was going to die, said, “Go back.” And the prophet told him in three days he was coming off his bed, that God heard his prayer. So prayer changes things. Isn’t that right? So prayer changes things. So therefore, I ask the people then to go pray, ’cause it might change.
