But I said that the Lord said, that these things that would take place would—would come from Him, that He sent me to—not to heal people. But watch. He said, “You were given a gift.” Now, when you call, talk about “the gift,” there is no such a thing. That’s unscriptural. “The gift…” First Corinthians 12, said, “gifts,” plural. So there’s no “the gift.” It’s “a gift.” See? And it might be one work one way, another through teaching the Word, through something else, or—or however it is—knowledge, and all these things. It works in with the—with healing. It’s faith in healing. That’s what it is. And now, you don’t have to wait to be a minister to do that. You don’t have wait to be a—a deacon. You don’t…Only thing you have to do is have faith in God. And the Bible said, “Pray one for another. If there’s any among you sick, don’t even bother the pastor, call the elders of the church, let them pray for you.” Is that right? I just read it. And that’s the rule. And then It said, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another that you may be healed; for the effectual fervent prayer of (a deacon? No. of an elder? No.)—of a righteous man (a good man.)…” If the man’s sincere and believes, “an effectual fervent prayer of that righteous man availeth much.” See?
