And if you want to repeat phrase by phrase, and those of you in the viewing and listening audience may repeat and join in this prayer with us if you choose.

Behold, I will bring you health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

And if you'd like, I often just lay my hand on the text in token of gentle trust in the Lord.

And now I'll pray this prayer, phrase by phrase, if you'd like all to repeat together.

Dear Father in Heaven, We come to you through Jesus.

And we come asking And we come believing.

And we thank you that we are receiving, to the fullest extent of your infinite love and wisdom.

In the gospel, teaching and healing are never to be separated.

Jesus united them completely and altogether throughout his entire ministry.

If you'd like to open the Bible with me to Acts the 10th chapter and the 38th verse, let us read this again together, Shall we?

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him.

Jesus Christ tells us that the gospel is not just teaching, the gospel is teaching and healing.

The healing of the soul, the healing of the body, the healing of the mind.

In Isaiah the 53rd chapter and the fifth verse it says, with his stripes we're healed.

And it is true, as we shall learn later, that the full results of the atonement will not be realized until we are resurrected from the dead The redemption of the body you see is all involved in the atonement but healing and teaching belong together it did in the life of Christ and Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever isn't he Hebrews 13 8 and so as we study together those of you in your homes those of us here in this family together, we're going to open our Bibles to Mark, the 16th chapter, verses 17 and 18.

He was just about to leave his disciples, and this is a promise that my wife and I have claimed again and again I'm sure that our pastor who is sitting beside me Pastor Verste has used this many times in his ministry also.

Mark 16 verses 17 and 18 shall we all read it together.

And these signs shall follow them that believe.

They shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them.

They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

I'm thinking right now of that lovely daughter of a Methodist minister that was lying in the hospital in a dying condition.

The death rattle was in her throat at that time and my wife and I claimed this promise and I still remember as we were claiming the promise we were saying to the Lord something like this, dear Lord we didn't think up this idea of laying our hands on this girl.

It's merely because we're followers of Jesus.

He said, you may lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

So as we were saying to the Lord, it's not our idea.

We have no we accept no credit whatsoever.

And we laid our hands on this precious little angel-like girl and we said Lord you've promised now we don't know at what time she'll get well we're not going to tell you what to do we're not going to command you Lord We're going to take hold of your willingness your eagerness because you love her and you love us and your wisdom far surpasses our puny a creaturely wisdom but dear Lord Jesus died for this girl.

And then gently we laid our hands on her and we said, Lord, if it may please you to rebuke the devil and the power of the devil on her, thank you for healing her.

And then we add these words and we make it a practice always to add these words to the fullest extent of your infinite love and wisdom.

You see that makes it a commitment, but it doesn't go around talking about it as though we didn't expect it.

It makes it a positive statement to the fullest extent of your infinite love and wisdom.

The death rattle left her throat immediately.

The next afternoon at 03:00, she sat up and ate and went home.

And I wonder, Damon and Mary Lou, would you sing a stanza of that song?

This is my favorite of all the songs in all the hymn books.

And then I think in the book that we're singing from, it's 276, isn't it, Pastor?

And after the Imman and Mary Lou sing the first stanza, we will join with them, if you'd like, and those of you in the audience, in the viewing audience, the listening audience, may want to unite with us on the second stanza.

I Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine.

For Thee, of the follies of sin I resign.

My gracious Redeemer, my Savior, Lord, love.

I love thee because thou hast first loved me, And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree.

I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow, And you'll notice that third stanza, and I'm wondering if Dottie would join Mary Lou and Damon in singing that third stanza a moment.

I'll love thee in life, I'll love thee in death, I'll love thee as long as thou lendest me breath.

This shows the commitment in our hearts as we're praying for healing.

We're not trying to put him in his place.

We're merely taking advantage of his wonderful eagerness and his extreme willingness and whether we live or whether we die we'll be praising him.

Me in death, and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath, and say when the death when the death do lies cold on my brow.

If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, it is now.

Let us all, including the audience, sing the last stanza, shall we?

In mansions of glory and endless delight, of glory and endless delight.

I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright.

I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow.

If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, to His mouth.

I want to tell you that represents our hearts.

Now, we want you to notice with us and the viewing audience, the listening audience also, who is authorized to pray for the sick.

We just read in Mark 16, 17, 18, these signs shall follow them that believe.

You know, there are a lot of people in the world today who have the impression that the only individual who has the right to pray for the sick is an ordained minister.
