And if you couldn’t get up for past ten or fifteen, they say, “I don’t want it. I won’t be called anyhow.” See? ’Cause that’s about all I could get to in one night. Maybe sometimes not over one or two. And people misunderstand it. And letters flow in. “We don’t get prayed for.” Our Master went into a city, and healed one man, and walked away from the city. Isn’t that right? And if He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. See what I mean? Now, then we figured this, and the Lord one night revealed it to me. Said, “Go down and give out a group of cards. And then when you do, let no one know from where, and go walk up to the platform.” And whatever He puts on my mind, that’s where I start from. And that gives everybody a fair chance every day to come in. And the prayer cards, there’s more healed out in the audience than there is on the platform. You know that’s true. So the prayer card don’t have nothing to do with it. I ask each night, How many hasn’t got prayer cards.” And I try to watch over those people to see what the Lord will—will show me concerning them, and they’d be healed.
