But the serpent was raised up for a compound reason, that they might be forgiven and healed. So help us tonight, Lord. As Thou did say here on earth, “As Moses lifted up the brass serpent,” the same way, be lifted up, the Son of man, same reason, forgiveness of sin, healing of the body. Then if the serpent being the shadow had healing in it, how much more does the antitype have: both salvation and healing. You said, “As Moses, so will I be.” We’re trying to point that to the people. And now, Thou has sent some into the Church, apostles; secondarily, prophets, gifts of healings, working of miracles, teachers, many other wonderful gifts, that You…When You ascended on high, You led captive captive, and give gifts and unto men. And we’re thankful, Lord, that Thou has seen fit in this days to restore these gifts into the Church, that we might cause the unbelieving educated world, like it was in the days of Noah, before the antediluvian destruction…How smart, how they could build those pyramids, sphinxes, embalm bodies that look natural even till today, great things that they can do, smart. But by the foolishness of preaching you save those which would believe. God, be merciful tonight. Help us to work with every tool that we have for the saving of the household of faith. For we ask it in the Name of Thy beloved Child Jesus Christ. Amen. Handkerchiefs which are laying here for the sick…
