Somehow I just, somehow, I believe that there’s great things going to happen, don’t you? Look, Moses performed his signs one time before the children of Israel and every one of them believed him.

Question

Do you have to be a Christian to be healed?

Answer

Jesus is not going to ask me if I was Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, or Pentecost; He’s going to judge me to what I was in my heart. That’s right. And that’s what He will judge us all by.

Does it take a gift of healing to heal the sick?

Answer

Just for a little text, if I should call it that, I want to speak for a moment or two on the word of “Expectation.” We always get what we expect.

Question

When a pastor prays for the sick, does healing depend on his prayer or on the sick person's faith?

Answer

When your pastor prays for you, say, “Well, he must not be a man of God, or God would’ve heard his prayer.” What about your faith? It’s your faith that touches God, not altogether his prayer. You’re obeying God’s Word. And when you obey God’s Word, God’s under obligation to answer you, if you believ...
