Now, here comes a man up here, maybe, that’s sick. He’s standing here with a…The doctor says he’s going to die. He’s filled with TB. Here he comes up to the pastor, he says, “Pastor, I—I’m…The doctor tells me I’m going to die. I—I’m—I pray, you pray with me, pastor.” The pastor says, “All right.” Now, the pastor, if he’s not a gifted man, or so forth with understanding he’d better anoint the man with oil, because that’s what stands between him and the sickness (See?), or he could take it hisself. Now, he takes the order that James give there, the elders of the church, and let them anoint him in oil and pray over them. That’s exactly the church (See?) to anoint with oil. That oil represents the Holy Spirit stand between the pastor and the sickness. All right. He anoints them with oil, representing the Holy Spirit, just giving over to the Holy Spirit. Then he prays for the person. Now the person after while begins to feel different, flesh takes on, goes back to his doctor. “Why,” he says, “say, you’re getting well. That’s wonderful. What happened?” “I can’t tell you.”
