I’m really feeling in my heart a very strong compulsion to launch into a very unique kind of ministry here at our church. It shouldn’t be unique. In the book of Acts, there was nothing unique about it. Every time people got together in an assembly to worship the Lord, they anticipated that although Jesus had gone up to be with the Father, he said, lo, I’m with you always. And he said, if you ever doubt that, the Holy Spirit, the comforter, he’s the other comforter. He will always be with you. He will teach you all things. And when they came together, they honestly anticipated there’d be wonderful things.
So when you read in the book of Acts, and you go through the epistles, the concept of God intervening in people’s lives was a common occurrence. But as the centuries went on, and very wise, good, biblically inclined people came to the surface and began to research the scriptures, and they were wonderful teachers. They had a great following, but they started to consider interpretation of certain verses, certain passages, certain theologies based on their personal experience. So if they hadn’t experienced thus and so, they would find a way to sort of explain away something that the church had heretofore been accustomed to. So it began apparently with Calvin. Now Calvin was an incredible church leader, incredible. And the marks of his abilities, his skills, and what he did for God in those days, nobody would ever question it. And still with us today, Calvinism. And Calvinism is an understanding of theology a little different than ours.
We are, I’m a child of my culture, my church, and so I was raised not to be Calvin, but to be in another stream. So we don’t have to go into the weeds with all of that this morning. I’m just saying that I highly, highly respect John Calvin. But what came about through his understanding and his interpretation of the scriptures came about, I’m going to call it a theory, a theory that has been called sensationalism. Now if you go into any research at all, sensationalism will come up with this explanation. Saturationism, cessationism is a doctrine. It’s now a doctrine that spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues, like prophecy, like healing, ceased with the apostles. The doctrine was developed in the Reformation and is particularly associated with the Calvinists. Let me hasten to say that within the parameters of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, and what I’m about to tell you right now is not acknowledged by the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, not acknowledged at all. But there’s a major stream of younger pastor preachers who have adopted cessationism because they’ve adopted Calvinism. And a member of my own family that I trained otherwise has actually joined that team. And I love him and I support him and may be chiming in this morning and I still have a verse that I quoted at your wedding son, that, my beloved son in whom I’m well pleased, but you’re mixed up and that’s okay too.
So the idea that all of the miraculous movements of God ended with the apostles, that means, that a good majority of New Testament promises by Jesus are gone. As the Father sent me, so send I you, canceled. The Father sent him with authority and we’re going to read the verse that he announced out of Isaiah, he announced it at the beginning of his ministry. The Spirit of God is upon me. I’m going to read it in just a few moments. And so I’m not here to trash other denominations and whatever. It’s just that I know what I believe. There’s an old song, I know whom I have persuaded and able. So you know that old hymn may be. And that’s where I am. I can’t deny my own experience. I can’t deny my wife’s experience. My wife’s experience was confirmed by an Anglican of all things who pursued me 40 years after a miracle took place. He pursued me in the city of Vancouver. He was a very old man. He was about to pass on to glory. I’d never met him before. He knew about my name. Heard that I was in the city, called me and said, well you come. And he said, David, I’m an Anglican, but I want you to know that because of your wife’s healing, I’m a believer in miracles. I believe in divine healing. Tell your church that.
Why would he say so? Because my wife was languishing, she was down to 80 pounds. She was losing weight incredibly. She had a cancer inside of her and by the time they determined that that’s what it was. It was too late. The doctor said, I’m sorry, David, I can’t even operate on her. She’ll never survive the surgery. But a lady from our church, a no-name lady, was not one of the apostles. She came to my wife’s bedside in the hospital on what very likely should have been my wife’s last day. But as that lady named Pauline stepped up beside my wife’s bed, she was a believer that Jesus still hears and he still cares. She prayed over my wife and my wife gave birth to a tumor the size of an inflated soccer ball. Cancer it was. The doctor said, it’s a miracle. So I don’t believe in cessationism. And I got lots of reasons to believe so and I could just go on forever now.
I’ve been all over the world. That’s not a brag. I’ve been to 37 countries. I’ve preached over there. I have literally seen miracles take place right before me. Not because of me. I’m not an apostle. I’m just this guy who’s just kind of like a trail end down. They all died off. Can you imagine being a part of the church in those days? And the last apostle is about to breathe his last. Some may say, well, there we go, the miracles. Dear God, we can’t pray for the sick anymore. We don’t believe that God answers. Prayer to the healing and the very last guy dies and the church starts to die with it, I suppose. But no, no, no, no, no. The Holy Spirit and Jesus are very much alive. You better say, amen. I’m good till four this afternoon. I don’t care about lunch.
Listen to this, Joel’s prophecy on the last day said, God, I will pour out my Spirit upon everybody, all people. Why did he mention all people? Because here to four, the Holy Spirit had been poured out only upon select people, prophet, priest, kings. The Holy Spirit had been instrumental in a lot of lives in a lot of different ways, but it was God’s choice. It was never the person’s choice. What do you mean by that? Well, nobody could seek it. Nobody could seek a gifting. Nobody could say, this is what I want, Lord. You understand what I’m saying? God chose David. God chose Samuel. God chose Ezekiel. God chose all of them. God selected both. God called out Abraham of the Chaldis. Abraham was an idolater. And in fact, I’ve been doing some research on him. He probably came from a priestly family. He was destined to be a priest at the ripe old age of 70 in paganism. But God called him out. Not because he said, hey, God, where are you? But because God called him out, God selected him. God chose him.
By the way, Calvinism loves that. God chose him. He didn’t get it, you know. So, Mel, maybe you don’t. You’re blessed. So, Joel prophecies something unique. Well, there are prophets and priests and kings who are recognized as God’s mouthpieces. Recognized, if you want to get in touch with God, you’ve got to check with one of these people, a prophet, a priest, or a king. But Joel announces to all of Israel that the Lord says, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, upon all people, and even your sons and your daughters, will, what, prophesy? Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah, shaking you in your boots, your brethren replaced by a bunch of wild kids with long hair and earrings.
I’m going to pour out my spirit upon your children, your sons, and your daughters. They don’t have to be a Levite to be a priesthood. The apostle Peter says, now we are a royal priesthood. In the Old Testament, there was only one clan, one family who were priests, and those were the tribe of Levi. So the Lord says, in the last days, I’ll pour out my spirit, and prophecy will flow like a river. Old men will dream dreams. There’s hope for you still, Zaturensky. Old… Old man will… And so Bob Hudson, if you got your hearing aid turned up, Bob, he’s sporting two brand new hearing aids. I’m proud of you, and you know what? Your marriage is safe again. Old man will dream. What kind of dream? I’m not dreaming of a white Christmas. Old man will dream like old Caleb of old who came to Joshua and said, give me that mountain.
I want to climb one more mountain. Who was it? Martin Luther King cried out before thought, I have a dream. And the Lord said, I’m going to pour out my spirit, and old men will have dreams. You old folks like me. I’m one of the oldest people in this church, and I still have a dream. Young men will have visions. It has to be the young men who have visions. When I take off my glasses like this, I see cross-eyed. So it has to be the young men who have visions. This is the day, folks. Now, here’s the thing. The Lord said, in the last days, Peter, the apostle. He also got up on the day of Pentecost and said, this is that. This is that, which was prophesied by Joel. And as 3,000 plus, maybe 10,000, 50,000, we don’t know. In the cities of Jerusalem and in the streets of Jerusalem, thousands came. And what was happening to the 120 who were in the upper room and now started coming down the stairs and they’re speaking Egyptian, they’re speaking Arabic, they’re speaking the languages of all around the Mediterranean. One of them was talking like an Italian chef. They were all going in a number. And you know what they were doing? They were prophesying. And the apostle gets up, has the people who were listening and said, what does this mean? And Peter got up and he said, it means this.
These are the last days. My question for you, my dearly beloved, and to all that our cessation is, when was the last day of the last days? If the last days ended when the last apostle died, what are these days? When did the last days occur? I’m living in the last days. I will pour out my spirit. So let’s go back and look at the Old Testament and the role of the Holy Spirit back then. You know, the role of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament was not unlike what he works in us today. So I pointed out three things, but you could come up with many, many, many, but one of them was regeneration, regeneration, claiming people like he claimed Abraham. And then the Holy Spirit rests upon in those days certain individuals, certain called people like Elijah and Elisha and all of them, and the Holy Spirit empowered these people that were called and powered them for the service.
The challenge that I have today is that if I’m a called one in the New Testament era, they say, you know, they say it ceased. What ceased? Elijah worked miracles. Elisha asked, I want a double portion of Elijah’s ministry. Elijah performed 12 great miracles. Elisha performed 24. So in the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit was there to empower those who were called to do certain things. In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit was there to empower certain individuals to do certain things. And now we have a generation, a group of people who are part of this current era and are saying, what God did for Jeremiah, Daniel, whatever, whatever, whatever. That’s over. He’s not going to part the Red Sea anymore from Ola. That’s all over. And by the way, with the apostles that died also, this is the quiet time when we can like Nero play our violin while Rome burns. Amen. I’m telling you, I’m good till five now. I was good till four now, I’m good till five o’clock.
They left. When you get to a renewing regeneration from Abraham, listen to what Stephen said about Abraham. Brethren and fathers, listen, the God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia. That was an ungodly paganistic era before he dwelt in Heron and said to Abraham, get out of your country and from your relatives. Why? Get away from paganism. I’m calling you out of it. And Abraham probably said, why me? And God would have said, because I said so. That’s how I used to talk to my kids. It’s nine o’clock at night. My son wants to go out and go roller skating. You’re not going out. Why? I said, because I’m your dad and I said so. So the Lord calls Abraham and he doesn’t answer to the world why he called out Abraham.
The Lord God is sovereign. We’re back to three o’clock. Get away from your relatives. Leave everything. Abandon everything. And Jesus said, take up your cross and follow me. You take up your cross, honey. You’re abandoning a lot. Follow me. And I’ll take you to a land that I will show you. The land of Palestine. Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Heron and from there when his father was dead, he moved in him to this land which you now are dwelling within. Some woman from the Democrats got up. I watched her. She’s speaking through a microphone and she said, the Jews have no right to that land. She said, the Koran and Islam have been around forever and you Jewish people and you’re God way, you’re the new kids on the block. Hello? I’m sending it to a land and it’s going to be your land. Sorry if I don’t want to hear that. Sorry. So now that was Abraham being called. What about Isaiah? Isaiah says on a certain particular day, he names the day in the hour, he said, I saw the Lord and when he saw the Lord, what happened? There was a dramatic change in his life. He saw the Lord high and lifted up. His glory filled the temple. He saw the Holy One. And what was his response? What does that mean? I’m cooked. I’m vulture bait. I’m done. What was me? Because I’m a man of unclean lips.
What caused him to think that? Because the Lord God’s Son is Jesus, the Word of God. He not only saw something, he probably heard something. He recognized that even the words from his mouth were unclean. I am unclean, pulling among a people of unclean lips for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. But then regeneration, a seraphim flew to me and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongues from the altar. And with it he touched my mouth and said, now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity has been removed and your sin has been atoned. Regeneration. This was the work of the Holy Spirit. Dare I say the Holy Spirit is doing that? If this is a cessation of miracles, what’s the greatest miracle of all time? What is the greatest, greatest miracle? Salvation. Miracles are done?
I guess for some churches they are. I had a fellow who goes to one of our churches and he said, I’ve been attending that church for seven years. I’ve never seen a person in my church get saved in seven years because the pastor never gives an appeal. That’s a PAOC church that I founded in 1970. The Lord was with Samuel. So I want to bring this, the regeneration thing. Abraham and Isaiah. I brought that to your attention. But now we go on to how the Holy Spirit worked with individuals. He rested upon them. And Hannah asked the Lord for a son and made a promise. She gave birth to a son. When he was one she took him to the temple and left him there and said, I dedicate little Samuel to the work of the Lord. My prayer is that God will use him. And so there was Samuel living under the priesthood. And his mother thought that he was going to be a priest. And every year, by the way, she knitted a little priestly garment for him just like the big boys. But God had another plan. Samuel was not going to be a priest. He was going to be a prophet.
Watch this. From the day that Samuel was awakened in his heart to the calling of the Lord, the Lord was with Samuel as he grew and let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground because he was called to be a prophet and all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord. The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word. David came from a dysfunctional family. And God chose David who had a father who was a wimp, who had brothers who despised him. But he was a young man that sought after God with his little guitar out with the sheep. And Samuel came to his house under the Lord’s instruction. Samuel took a horn of oil and anointed, why did he anoint David with oil? Because oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. And that’s why, by the way, when we pray for people, we use oil. People find that, that’s kind of icky. It was normal in the Old Testament. It was normal. Everything’s got to be nice now.
Can’t we just send them an email? So, Samuel took a horn full of 10 W 30. Ported down over his head, the kid was snorting oil up. If he opened his mouth, he got a mouthful. Folks, it wasn’t a little dab of dew, this wasn’t real cream. This was oil significant of the power of God. Because God was about to do something in Samuel’s life that was unknown until this very day. Samuel was going to become a mighty, mighty prophet of God. And the Spirit of the Lord then came upon David as Samuel anointed him. The Spirit of God was on, not in. The Spirit of God was on David from that day forward. Now watch this. David was a man just like all the rest of us who’s prone to failure. He had a thing about girls and he had a thing about watching them. And you know how that God got him into trouble. And David cries out in Psalm 51, feeling the guilt and the shame. He was under conviction for his failures. And what was his cry? Dear God, don’t take your Spirit from me.
The role of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament is not a whole lot different than the old except. The Spirit of God came upon David. The Spirit of God came upon Samuel, upon Moses, Jeremiah, Ezekiel. But now Joel promises in the New Testament it’s a new era. These days I’m going to put my Spirit upon your sons and your daughters. If your name is a unique name like Cuc. I grow Cucumbers. I just call them Cucs. And that just reminds me of my love and my admiration for Brother Cucumber. Joel said in the last days, I’m going to pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. And the Church of Jesus Christ from the day of Pentecostal now has been riveted by the dynamic power and authority of the Holy Spirit. I could tell you stories now. Well, I don’t have to, you can read them, they’re on the website called Amazing Story. Please go and read those stories. Read about the guy with a fat head. Read about the man who’s a superintendent over a school and a witch doctor said, you’re going to die, I told you not to build a Christian school. And the man was found under a tree dying. But the missionary, Brother Bush, went out there, found him. The man was on the doorstep of death and Bush lifted him up in his arms and he said, you’re not going to die. In the name of Jesus, he spoke power and authority over that man’s life. And within a couple of hours, the man’s back at the job called all the workers back. You can go right now to that country called Zimbabwe and you can see the school. It’s a done deal. What would have happened if Brother Bush had been a cessationist? Has he showed up to the work site and said, where’s the boss? How come you guys aren’t working? Oh, the witch doctor came by. And you know, Brother, the witch doctor has power. Yeah, I wish we had power. The only one that has power anymore is the devil.
Come on. Sorry, James Bush, who’s a man who saw miracles all day. I met some men down in South Africa and their story was verified by a couple of others on the spot. That man saw not less than two people raised from a cold, dead stance. You believe that God can still raise people from the dead? Don’t doubt it. It’s happening. I doubt it. Why do you doubt it? Because I’ve never seen it. That’s Calvinism. I don’t believe in miracles because I’ve never seen one. I’m preaching about miracles today and you know what? I anticipate miracles. And that’s why we’re going to start calling this church. I’m changing the name again. You people are really going to get fussed with me. 20 Valley Community Church is now called the 2-0 church because we’re in the 20. We’re in the 20. My daughter called me last night. Daddy, how do I find your website? It was he that said 2-0 church.ca. She said, is that all? I said, Daddy’s getting simple. I can’t remember these long names. I can’t remember all the pin numbers. What’s your pin number? I don’t know. I have a pin head and it’s not working. Ezekiel gave a promise to Israel. Oh, there we go. That was a promise to Israel, David. It’s not for us. He is forever the same. The Alpha and the Amen get the beginning and the ending. We have been grafted into the family of Abraham.
Don’t put down Abraham. I’m related to him. Are you Jewish? Yeah, by adoption. You get that? So a promise was made to the children of Abraham and I cashed in on it when I was eight years of age. When I cried out in the little church in Hagersville, Ontario, I became convicted of my sin at the age of eight and God gave me a new heart. A promise made through Ezekiel 36-26. I’ll give you a new heart, David, and I’ll put a new spirit in you. I’ll take away your stony, stubborn heart, and I’ll give you a tender response of heart. Listen to David. Israel is going through the pit of hell and they’re beginning to look to Jesus. Niatnau who can’t say that from the microphone, but thousands of people are coming to the Christians and saying, tell me about the Messiah. We’re desperate here. There’s a miracle. There’s a miracle going on in Israel right now. Hello? God is performing surgery in Israel. What about the poor Palestinians? The call is, whoever will may come. Arabs, sons of Ishmael, are welcome.
And in fact, God has a plan for the Arabs. Arabs, all of them are not going to hell. Arab is not a bad word. Arab people are not bad people. There’s a bunch of idiots leading them. Stay out of politics, David. It could cost you a blood transfusion. Book 418, Jesus said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because He’s anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. I don’t have to explain what that means. Somebody needs to explain for me what He said in John’s Gospel, chapter 20, verse 21. Peace be with you. Back up to Luke 4, 18, the fulfillment of a prophecy in Isaiah, He sent me. Now He says to His disciples, as a father sent me to do what? To read it, the Father, send me so I’m sending you. But only the twelve get done while you can. This is an electric car and there’s no power stations between here and Vancouver. The power’s going to run out about somewhere before you get to Saskatchewan. You boys better work hard and fast. I’m sending you. But the rest of the crowd, nay nay. Pastor, you’re being saucy. I’m having fun here. Ephesians 3.20.
Now Paul’s not talking to his buddy apostles. He’s talking to the church of Ephesus. And he says, his prayer is to him who was able, able and sometimes in the mode to do. I’m praying to him who’s able to do it immeasurably. Butchers, they don’t have them anymore. I don’t know how they kill the cows. You can’t go to a corner and start the butcher anymore. But I remember my mom going into the butchering on Upper James in Hamilton. And she’d be there looking for a pound of hamburger. And Mr. Jones said, good morning Mrs. Forrest. What would you like? I want my regular please. I want some hamburg. I think I have a pound to do. He said, Mrs. Forrest, if you’d like a pound, we’ve got it on sale today. But it’s by the pound. I can’t give you the deal for half a pound. It’s one pound. And she said, I’m sorry. I only need a half a pound. My prayer Paul says to the one who can give out immeasurably. Above all that we could ever ask or imagine. My imagination is running wild. I’m living like an old man, I’m dreaming dreams. My dream is that this town and from here stretching to Fort Erie, listen, from here to Fort Erie and go on the other way all the way to Hamilton, people are going to get to know that this is no longer 20 Valley community church. Oh, that’s where registered with the government. That’s our registry name. That’s what our check says at Meridian. But people are going to start to call this the house of healings, the house of healings.
Churches are not praying for the sick. People are going to their pastor and they look kind of glum. Oh, good morning, Mrs. Smith. How are you? I got bad news for my doctor. I’ve got this. I’ve got that. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Oh, God bless you, dear. I want a message to get out to the community. I’m making up a special little business card that’s called that says house of healing. Call this number. We’re launching a website that says we believe in divine healing. Click here. We’re opening up this church on every Tuesday morning and the word’s going to get out there. It’s going to be like a clinic. Clinics aren’t open 24-7. Trust me, I know when I’m in pain on a Saturday night, I run to the clinic and I beg for help. Our clinic will be running from 10 to 11-30. No medical people will be here except the great physician Jesus. He’ll be here. I’m going to get the word out. We’re open from 10 to 11-30. We already have people here who are interceding. You should hear these people pray. I weep when I hear the people on Tuesday mornings pray. They’re praying for you. They name you all. Often on a Tuesday morning they’ll go through this auditorium and they’ll be putting their hands on every seat. They’re weeping as they’re praying for whoever sits in that chair. They believe that God is ready to invest in our lives and we’re going to get the word out.
Do you have a problem? Healing. If I get a call, my family’s breaking up. My family needs to be healed. Come. We’ll pray for you. I’ve got a son that’s gone nutty. Bring him here or you come and we’ll pray for you. Healing of the mind. Depression. Loneliness. Whatever’s troubling you. This is going to be a house where we believe that miracles have not ceased. We’re willing to pray for you. Do you have any stories? Have you got it? You should have brought your lunch. I’ll tell you stories till supper time. I’ve been there. I’ve got so much more to share with you. This is the first ten minutes of my notes. I shouldn’t go by notes. So I will conclude with a story.
I was invited, it doesn’t matter the year. I don’t remember the year, but I was invited by a man who knew me well. His sons attended my church at the time, so I do know about the timing. And he said, David, if you want to come with me, I have backdoor stage privilege to such and such a coliseum or whatever in Buffalo. I can get in. They know who I am. I’m a ministry fellow, and I have an opportunity. Why don’t you come and join me? I said, what’s happening? Catherine Kuhlman’s coming. I went. We went in the backdoor. I sat in the front row because I was one of the last to arrive. The distance between me and where Ms. Kuhlman’s function on that platform was less than the distance from me to the first row of seats here, and at times she was much closer. I sat there watching her minister to people. I was gobsmacked. I was wasted. I was wasted. It would have been needs that they had. I don’t remember all the details, but I remember this one. You’re going to remember this one now. All of a sudden, over to my right, I see Catherine look over and she says, what do we have here? And so a very lovely lady came across the stage and she stopped right here, closer to me than the front row. I could have reached out and touched. So as a lady pushing the wheelchair and in the chair was a bundle of bones.
Here was a lady all twisted up. Her hands were twisted like this. Her fingers were gnarled. Her feet were turned backwards and crumpled up underneath her. She was so, I don’t know the word, deformed. I’m probably using the wrong one, but as I looked at all that, dear God, Catherine Kuhlman stood there and never forgot the look on her face. This is how she always prayed. I tried it. It doesn’t work for me. But she looked up like this. All of a sudden, this face that was more skin than anything, just all these wrinkles, incredible. And she smiled. Her face just turned into this series of corrugated flesh. But her eyes sparkled and her mouth opened like a cotter’s teeth. And she was like this and I thought she sees something. She’s looking like this and she’s like, yes. How much? Who is she talking to? It’s got to be Jesus. She’s like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And then she looked down at this lady in the wheelchair. She never touched her. She put her hands all like this and she says, she’s like, yes. Jesus wants you to come this way.
Now you think about this. There’s atrophy where your muscles don’t work so well anymore. And then there’s something beyond atrophy when maybe there’s no muscle left at all. Because it turned out that the story that came out on the spot was this lady had been in this condition for a minimum of 20 years because the lady pushing the wheelchair was asked by Catherine Kuhlman. How long have you been pushing your friend around? She said, it’s more than 18 years now. So what’s left of muscle? What’s left of anything? Catherine never touched her. She just kept on saying, yes. Come this way. And I saw, it was like a movie, a frightening one. I saw her feet start to tremble and I saw them coming around like this. Her feet went straight and I saw she stretched out a leg. It was slow. It took a while. And another leg went like this. Catherine said, it’s happening. How many people were in that auditorium? Thousands!
The place went berserk. That lady ended up standing up. Catherine never touched her. Catherine said, I know you haven’t walked for a long time, honey, but you’ve got to walk to me. And as the lady tried to take a step, Catherine moved back. She says, come on. Tears are racing down my cheeks. I was there. I was there. Catherine led her to this side of the stage. She turned around and started back and she said, wait. She looked at the lady hanging under the wheelchair. Who’s lost it? Can you imagine what’s going through that lady’s mind? She called out to her and said, what’s her name again? How long have you been pushing that wheelchair for your precious friend? She said, you look like you could use a rest. Why don’t you sit in the chair for a while? Tears running down this lady’s cheeks. She’s shaking like a leaf like she’s going like, why wouldn’t you? Sat down in the chair. She spoke to this lady. She said, come with me. She walked her across. She said, she’s been pushing you around for 18 years. Time for you to get back at her. You push her around now.
And this beautiful lady now walked around, got ahold of the handles on that wheelchair and started pushing that across. Nobody was seated. Everybody’s on their feet. Some were jumping up and down like a slinky. Why wouldn’t we? Why wouldn’t the place go absolutely wild? Probably there was somebody in the back row saying, this is not happening. This is all gone. I was there when my wife gave birth to a tumor. Ginormous like this. It was a doctor that said, David, that’s a miracle. It’s recorded. It’s recorded in Hamilton. Hamilton St. Joseph’s Hospital. She was in the third, on the third floor, the third room from the elevator. She was there. I was there. I saw it. I could go on and on and on. You’re going to hear more now. Not today. You’re going to hear more about this. As my heart is, this shall become a house of healing. There should be a banner up here somewhere pretty soon. A fresh, beautiful logo that’s going to be a house and a heart and hands when people see that. I’ll tell you what I’d like to do.
You may not like this, but you’ll get over it. You know you drive by a car lot and they have this flag up? It looks like a teardrop or a ginormous comma and there’s writing on it, you know, it’s a house of healings. And when the wind comes, it can turn because it pivots. So it can’t be knocked over and you see it on sale. You know the kind of sign. I could see one right out here and just says, house of healings. And when I go to every house in this community, I’m going to do this. I’m going to go to every house in this community and just drop off a beautiful leaflet that’s going to be colorful and it’s going to be eye-catching. Come and visit us at the house of healing. Times when we’re available to pray for your needs are 10 o’clock Tuesday mornings, 11 o’clock Sundays, and we’ll close every service like we’re about to close now. As we say goodbye to those on the Internet, let me tell you those who are on the Internet and you might want to come here. Let me promise you, you live a long way away. You better come.
The difference here is worth the drive. Come and we’ll pray for you because we believe that Jesus still cares. So goodbye, Internet friends. Give us a ding. Write us a note. Tell me if you don’t like it. It’ll go right over me.
