Well, there and there, there was the elder, the chief elder, his name was Ernie Bolzer, German name, godly man, Ernie Bolzer, had been, crippled, with arthritis, so bad, that for up to four years, it was on four years, he couldn't dress, he couldn't get out of bed, he had to be pushed, and helped, and lifted, this big man, he was in such pain, he couldn't get into, the church door, because there's all these steps, and, they had to stand there, all these men helping him, step by step, because he was the head elder, he loved God, but he was sick, I was a young Christian, about, a thousand miles away, in a meeting, where another German man, came forward, I was sitting down there, and came forward, when this old, man, called for those who were sick, to come, he's going to anoint them in oil, with oil, pray for them, as God has commanded us, now he was a very famous, and godly man, this old man, and obviously, God had used him mightily, but I was young in the faith, and I remember him asking, the loud speaker, everyone sitting there still, he didn't say, go while we pray for them, you pray with me, he says, he asks this one man, this German man says, I'm not sick, but there's a man, in King William's town, who's a godly man, his name is Ernie Bolger, this man, is crippled, from arthritis, it's so bad, that he can't clothe himself, he can't bath, he can't get out of the bed, he can't work, he's in a terrible, terrible state of suffering, and it's now, close on four years, and the church, right now, we're sitting, Sunday morning, they're gathered, and they know, that I'm coming out, and I'm going to ask you, in this meeting, when you would be, set aside for praying, for people to be healed, in the name of Jesus Christ, I want you to anoint me, in his place, and pray for him, while they're there, they're praying also, so all of us listened, and this, godly old man said, oh, I understand, the Lord will heal him, I said, what presumption, I really thought that, how presumptuous, he anointed this man, and prayed for this, Ernie Bolger, hundreds and hundreds of miles away, so far away, the exact, moment he prayed, the exact moment, that man stood up, in his church, and shouted, now you don't do that, in Lutheran churches, you get excommunicated, you first get carried out, if you carry on shouting, trust me, you've got to be careful, in the German Lutheran churches, this man stood up, and shouted, and he jumped, doing that in a Lutheran church, nobody was angered, everybody just began to weep, I'm healed, God is here, he left, he never has had arthritis, from that day to this, he's very elderly now, and I have been in his hope, so many times, this man's joy, as he glorifies God, for touching him in one moment, now, I know that was God, that wasn't some lie, because there were, hundreds of people witnessing, who aren't sensationalists, who aren't hyper emotional, and have to have sensation, to tickle the ears, otherwise they won't go anywhere, in your place, these people were so down to earth, they were walking about, a foot under the ground, and here they all, were witness, to know this man, now, here I was, coming back as a young preacher, into this same building, the Lutheran church, where he had been healed, he was still the head elder, and his little granddaughter, was there with his son, and daughter -in -law, and his granddaughter, was full of boil, I'll never forget this time, and, he just sat there weeping, weeping, he sat on the table, and it was almost like, I don't want to shock you, and I don't want to be, grievous to God, by sensationalizing, like posh, running down, it was horrible to look at, on her legs, her arms, now the mother, her eyes were so swollen, from no sleep, that it was staggering, she says, we just stay awake in the night, to see weeps, we can't sleep, and the doctors, have come to the end, they've given her, such drastic medications, it's having side effects, they can't, there's no medication works, they've just given up, the specialist says, there's nothing, there's nothing we can do, with the sickness, but we ask you to pray, brother Keith, I was young, I was a young preacher, and I wasn't used to this, and I looked at this child, but my heart seemed to lift up, I can't explain that, and I said, all right, come we all, in this room, put a little hand, on this child, while I pray, father, I had no oil, to anoint her, we can demand, nothing of thee, we can demand, nothing of thee, but we have been called, to ask, in thy name, in faith, and if it be thy will, if it be thy will, heal, this child now, not our will, but thine be done, at this moment, through this prayer, in Jesus Christ's name, now I left, got in the car, drove, a few days went by, the father phoned me, and the mother spoke, and later on, uncle Ernie Boulder, Keith, that day, as you drove away, we just saw, as the hours went by, it all just stopped, by the night, it was just clearing, and in a day or two, it's just cleared up, the specialist, cannot comprehend, it's beyond him, he's staggered, that without any medication, and we told him why, he's healed, totally healed, now that did something, for my faith, as a young preacher, that did something, for my faith, I went to another town, a short while after that, weeks later, Port Alfred, along the, north coast, of the eastern cape, of southern Africa, lovely town, and God did a remarkable work, many, many souls, came to Christ, especially young people, screaming to God, that walk with God, from that time to this, lovely time, a lady, the next town, which is about 25 minutes, 30 minutes, those days about half an hour, away, these days it's a few minutes, the freeways have made it, but that was many years ago, a lady, put a gun to her head, and there she was, in their store, behind the counter, the door was open, and she was sitting, and she took this gun, and she just began to scream, weeping, sobbing, before she would pull the trigger, and a Christian, who has been in the meetings, just walked in the door, she saw her, beginning to sob, and cry, and she ran, asking God's protection, under the blood, and she took the gun, and startled this woman, who was caught, about to kill herself, and this woman, of the store, began to pour her heart out, and she asked, what's going on, they've lost everything, everything is just, being destroyed, the family, everything is destroyed in her life, she can't face another moment, she has to take her life, this woman said, you're coming with me, to hear this young preacher, down at Port Alfred, you're coming with me, don't you argue, go and get dressed, you're coming with me, I don't think she even left her, she made sure she came, along with some of her family, they arrived, I didn't know she was there, and I preached, this lady, was one that responded, I didn't pray with her, someone else did, some lady, as many responded, she was in one moment, in one prayer, mightily saved, to the degree, that is beyond human comprehension, she suddenly found a peace, that God says, passeth all understanding, unless you have experienced it, no preacher, no human, could ever, give you words, that you could come within a billion miles, of what he's talking about, God's peace, my peace, give I unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you, God's peace, that passeth all understanding, joy unspeakable, do you know what that means, there's no words, that could ever express, the joy you know, once you know God's peace, as the Holy Spirit, bears witness with your spirit, that your sins are forgiven, and you are now born of God, you are God's child, and conscious from that moment, you are his property, his responsibility, suddenly, all that fear, all that torment, was gone, and joy was on this lady's face, she was so stunned, at the peace of God, that flooded her heart, she drags everyone now, the home, and, the next night, she began to share, in a humble way, but earnest, still looking broken, because she had, been through deep, deep waters, rain, wrinkles, dark rings, but there was this peace, in her eyes, and she, comes to me, and she said, Sir, if God, could do this for me, in one moment, then I want you to pray, for my daughter, my daughter was involved, in an accident, a long time ago, and her back, and parts of her body, cannot be healed, this won't straighten, the specialists, are giving up hope, she weeps, she's in these braces, old steel braces, holding her body up, and we are despairing, if God can do this, for me, I believe God, can heal my daughter, I want you to pray for her, now you know, to look at this girl, was something, I can't say I had faith, that would move mountains, I honestly, honestly, can't say that, but I said, alright, I called for the preachers, of the community, that were born again, I called for some, godly older people, the elders, the true elders, those that have, proved their lives, are real, for a long time, that's a true elder, and I said, let's all just pray, those that can't put your hands, there must have been about, six, seven of us, let's just pray, Amen, Father, we can demand, nothing of thee, but thou has called us, to us, if this be thy will, God, not my will, not our will, but thine be done, please heal this child, now, it is thy will, for us to pray, in Jesus Christ's name, now that girl, her face just, lit up, I can't tell you, how it lit up, with some form of joy, she wasn't saved then, she did get saved, but that night she wasn't, she got home, she says to her mother, mommy, I'm healed, and she's crying, with joy, please help me, to take these things off, the mother said, no, we don't take that off, we go to the specialist, tomorrow, before you take it off, let's be sure, well they went to the specialist, quite a long travelling, through the day, to even get back to the meeting, that night, specialist, but I can't understand, this girl, is totally healed, there's nothing wrong with her, and he was worried, she said, he almost looked angry, because he couldn't comprehend it, medically, now we have the specialist, name and address, by the way, in case you doubt it, he must be pretty old, come to think of it, but that was long ago, anyway, I've kept the name and address, for many years, well, they come there, and they want to share now, have you ever heard people, who have just found, God's salvation, people have just seen, God's amazing, mercy and compassion, revealed, in a staggering way, listen to the speaking, you just get a blaze for God, they wanted to testify, well, somebody said testify, you should have seen that, well, she comes to me now, and said listen, Mr Daniel, my little girl, now pregnant, I don't want to tell you the age, there she stood, this little girl, we've had sorrows, you don't want to know about, such shame, such disgrace, such ostracizing, from everybody else, so, she has to go to school, for years, and I have to be the mother, with all our responsibilities, and this baby, this baby, my grandchild, weeps and sobs, through the night, we give medication, all these, things they're going through, but nothing helps, I've been to the doctor, this child keeps us awake, through the night, and this goes week, after week, month, after month, I perhaps could have faced things, more, with more strength and sanity, than I have, if it wasn't for this child, if God, could do this for me, if God could do this to my daughter, I want you to pray for this child, that God stops this child weeping, so we can get back our strength, so we prayed, well it was, many weeks later, that a phone call came, and said, since that night sir, that child has slept, through the whole night, the only time it woke up, was just to change, napkins, et cetera, but, not once, did the child keep us, from the night, this is God, hallelujah, and what it did, to a young preacher's heart, you cannot believe, oh, I went, through the years, and I wish I could say, everyone I prayed for, in faith, hope and trust, in this God of mercy, that filled me with faith, I wish I could say, everyone was healed, but they weren't, and it wasn't sin, in their life, it wasn't unbelief in my heart, this whole sermon, some of you might have heard it, on the, websites, and all these sermons, going on all over the world, and people, they've got all these old sermons, where I just preach the scriptures, concerning, sickness, no illustrations, and, our God, will, is often sickness, often, in the bible, to the godliest, of the godliest, don't you stand there, saying it's sin, I can't think of anything more carnal, than a priest, or a Christian, telling others, who they can't even stand, in the shadow spiritually, the person there, saying it's sin in your life, unbelief, if they pray for you, and you don't get healed, why is it an addiction, they're the ones that pray, no sir, be careful, and I don't want to spend now, 20 minutes, just quoting, from the old testament, right into the new, many, many, many quotations, of those who God did not heal, were who were holy, who died, honoured by God, from Epaphroditus, to Ephemus, Timothy, there's just one, you cannot believe, how God, doesn't expect us, to take one isolated sin, one isolated verse, and say that's it, you look at that isolated verse, in the rest of the scriptures sir, and if any other scripture, concerning that doctrine, contradicts your interpretation, you're preaching heresy, that's why you've got to know, the bible from cover to cover, that's why you've got to study, not just take isolated verses, like the Jehovah witnesses do, and half a verse, they're scared you might, pick up the bible, and finally read, the next half of the verses, what they're saying, look in the light of all scriptures, to be balanced, there's nothing as dangerous, as someone on fire, who's not balanced, you can be on fire sir, but you've got to be balanced, and the only way to be balanced, is to know this book, and the only way to know this book, is to meditate a day and night, as your greatest delight, and watch how God honours you, if you do, even if you're a young person, but be careful now, don't you believe, that everyone, and I must admit, some God people, I still cannot come near, attaining their walk with God, I admit that, and I pray to them, and they die, in their sickness, and I accept that as God's will, because it's all over the bible, and now, there's some other things, I need to go on, very swiftly, of what God does, when we pray, and ask, I wish I could, go through all these things, oh my, but, I don't want anyone, to look at the watch tonight, because if you do, I'll have to say, why are you looking at your watch, and I'll have to say, stand up, on the chair, you that's looking at the watch, and then you will get angry with me, now, so I don't want to preach too long, in case I have to do that to you, and embarrass you, try it, we won't do that, that's why I don't wear glasses, I don't know if you're looking at your watch, you see, it's lovely to not know, if you're pulling a face at me, I don't know, so bless you, missionaries, live by faith, most in Africa, honestly live by faith, trust me, it's God, or you die, or get off the mission field, it's a very different concept, but it's a wonderful way to live, and when God separated me, I said to him, I'm telling no one in this earth, my needs, no one in this world, not even daddy and mommy, would know that I have no money, and I've got to get through theological seminars, I've got to get my personal needs, all the funds, I'm leaving this between thee and thee Lord, I'm not going, unless it's on your responsibility, from day one till the day I die, and God honored that, you cannot believe the miracles, I wish I could start, from the first time, how God, beyond all comprehension, just said to me, take no thought, for tomorrow, consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you, that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed, clothed like one of these, wherefore if God so clothed, the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, certainly not much more clothed you, O ye of little faith, they would take no thought, then what shall we eat, what shall we drink, wherewithal shall we be clothed, after all these things the Gentiles seek, but seek ye first, the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things, shall be added unto you, take therefore no thought, for the morrow, for that's a commandment, don't be anxious, don't be silly now, don't live in any anxiety, you're God's responsibility, get right with God, and in the will of God, even if you're a missionary, in the middle of, with no one, that God, who reaches out, and owns a cattle and a father, well, God, gave me those words, when I prayed, concerning him nothing, and no one in the world, was to know, and I believed him, and 40 years later, 39 years later, he never failed me, hallelujah, oh, now I've missed, enormous amount of these, lovely illustrations, but that doesn't matter, I have, boys, three sons, I wanted ten children by the way, forgive me, don't get angry with me, I just wanted a lot of kids, but God gave us three, and then my wife, couldn't have children after that, so I accepted the three, what lovely child, oh, she was enough, to be honest with you, they kept us running, any more would have killed us, but we love them, and that's what God gave us, our first mission field, was our children, and oh, do they love Christ, with every breath in their body, so much, hallelujah, for my godly three boys, one's preaching across America, right now, while I'm preaching, lovely fellow, oh, I do bless God for them, well, they grew up, in a home, where we had to really pray, I came home, one day, from, ten days away from home, it happens, and, my wife greets me, at the door, and within minutes, this is what missionary's wives do, they like to shock you, well, they don't have much say, but they do it, they, she says, Keith, did you get any money, that's what missionary's wives ask, don't think I'm asking you for money, okay, too late for that, so, I said, well yes, how much, well, I don't know exactly how much, but roughly, oh, that's not enough, we're in trouble, Keith, the telephone account people, and the electricity, both, will cut us off tomorrow, first thing, eleven o 'clock, I think, if we don't pay by some time, nine o 'clock, or something in the morning, I don't know, now a little tear came down her eye, she says, you know how, how shameful this is to me, Keith, that they did that, you've been away, I can't phone you, and just alarm you, when you're preaching, so I just kept quiet, I've been praying, but Keith, we're in trouble, we need so much, and she mentioned an amount, I don't want to tell you, you won't believe, how much we actually need, or we're in trouble, she said, it's our testament, these people know, we're missionaries, they'll say, this is people, who serve God, look at them, they can't even pay their accounts, what are we going to do?
